Randy is very professional and not greedy. My house has some footing issues, and after I called…read morehim, I got the sense that some people might have simply taken my money, told me "Yes, there's a problem," and I'd still have to find a contractor to actually fix it. But Randy didn't do that. Instead, he advised me to go straight to a contractor to address the issue, and mentioned that the inspection fee could be rolled into the repair cost. He also didn't pressure me by recommending any specific contractor. That level of honesty really stood out to me. I would 100% recommend Randy to my friends.

We were purchasing a new property and needed an inspection of the home and sewer. After…read moreresearching several inspection firms, we ultimately decided to go with Elias at CR Home Inspections due to the reviews describing him as one of the most thorough professionals in the business. And indeed he was! Elias met us on an expedited schedule and he worked promptly with a deep attention to detail. He identified every little issue and gave us an extreme amount of comfort. He even fended off an annoying seller agent that ambushed him towards the end of his inspection and tried to get information on Elias' findings before he even discussed with the client (me). In summary, Elias is the best in the business and is a man of strong integrity. I highly recommend him and definitely would work with him again.

I was looking to buy a property in the OC and found Elias with 5 stars. Honestly, I'm pretty…read moreskeptical about that stuff but I needed the inspection ASAP and he was the first to reply and schedule. Sadly, he scheduled the wrong day and my agent went to the property and basically wasted the trip there since we had to reschedule to the next day. For me this wasn't a big deal since I didn't go out myself, but I felt bad that my agent wasted his time. Elias was very apologetic and even bought my agent a gift card as an apology. He totally owned up to his mistake and for me that speaks volumes about a person. The actual inspection was pretty good as far as I can tell, I'm not an expert on these kinds of things but the report was very detailed and had a lot of photos. He flew a drone up to the roof to take a look and even pointed out minor details like staining on the carpet that I honestly didn't catch when I saw the property myself. Seems like he used infrared to check for water leaks when inspecting the plumbing in the bathrooms and kitchen. In terms of pricing, he was one of the more expensive options but given the level of customer service he provided and the quality of the report I would say it's worth it. Overall, the experience with Elias was very positive and if I ever need inspection services again, he'll be the first I call.

General inspection, roof, pool, sewer, mold, etc. all done by the same company (and by 3 people at once so it didn't take forever and a day). Also, prior to the inspection, scheduling was very easy and customer service was great with them fitting me into a cancellation to get my inspection done sooner. We received our report later about 9 hours after our inspection was complete (and received our expedited mold report a day later), and the report is very thorough and easy to read. Once again, if you want the best inspectors and best customer service, this is who you want.

His father, Jerry from Brooke and Sons Home Inspections recommended him for sewer inspection of our home. He is extremely responsive, goes into details of explaining and walking through the inspections thoroughly in layman's terms which made it a lot more easy for us to comprehend. He is also very easy to coordinate with, and was at the home site 15 minutes before the start of the inspection, saving us the panic and worry as first time home buyers! Our real estate agent was also very impressed with his quality of work and way of working! Would definitely recommend working with him should you need home inspection done for your house!

From srart to finish, the inspection was extremely thorough, professional, and easy to understand. The inspection, Jerry, took time to explain every detail, answered all of my questions and provided a clear, well-organized report. Thanks to his deligience, all identified issues were properly addressed by the seller, which gave me complete peace of mind moving forward. If you are purchasing a home in SCV area, you absolutely must use Top Dog Certified Home Inspections. Highly recommended!!! I definitely will order another inspection of my house a few month later, within the home warranty period of 1 year.

I highly, highly recommend Jerry!…read more We bought our home back in 2019, but the original inspection was questionable and left us unsure about the house. Six years later, after having tenants, we're moving back in and wanted peace of mind. Jerry was incredibly thorough, professional, and detailed.

He was also available to discuss any of the findings more thoroughly, but honestly the report was perfect. I wish we had used him back in 2019... I probably could've saved a lot of money! I'll definitely be calling him again for any future inspections.

Most unprofessional experience I've ever had. Do not trust this guy with the most important and…read moreexpensive purchase of your life. He is not knowledgeable (made several errors), incredibly difficult to work with, and has the temperament of a petulant child. Edit: Some red flags for future readers - 1) this is the only home inspector of the five we reached out to who required full payment BEFORE the appointment. 2) he sent the original contract at midnight the night before he cancelled and cancelled it at 6:30pm, meaning he gave us less than 18 hours to read, sign and pay for a contract. 3) Since he cancelled on us last minute, I politely asked (pleaded, even) for him to reconsider - I said I would pay and sign then, but he denied us. This guy is probably sadistic or sociopathic at the least - it seemed he took pleasure in leaving us without help. 4) There are several typos in his reply above - keep in mind that this is who will be analyzing your home and writing your 100+ page inspection report. Do you want someone of this intelligence and education level spotting potentially deadly issues in your future home?

We are extremely disappointed with the inspection that was done. It feels as though the goal was…read moresimply to get the sale through rather than properly protect the buyer. After moving into our new home, we discovered that both brand-new refrigerators were not functioning properly. In addition, none of the showers were working correctly, as the water temperature could not be balanced and would suddenly become dangerously hot. When we brought this to the inspector's attention, his response was that they "don't check the water" and that the inspection is only "visual." We received a similar response from the agent regarding the improperly assembled dishwasher. Because of this negligence, we are now facing serious issues with the seller, who is refusing to take responsibility or corrective action. For anyone planning to buy a new home: please make sure you personally walk through everything with your agent and test all appliances, plumbing, and fixtures yourself. Do not rely solely on the inspector's or agent's judgment.
