This truck drove around to the very front of the line on the side, trying to go ahead of the traffic and cut in. Other cars, including myself, would not let him in because that's just not cool after we all waited like a civilized and fair human should. He proceeded to ram right into the lane on the side of my car to try to prove a point (one that he was clearly not right...) and I had to swerve onto the shoulder or he would have hit me. Not the kind of person I'd trust to enter my home to do work...

My son and his wife bought a 1927 house in Pasadena, and the inspection revealed that major chimney…read morerepairs were needed for the fireplace to be usable. They decided to have them done, and to have the wood-burning fireplace converted to gas logs at the same time since they're in a high fire risk zone. They got several bids; CSE's was the most thorough and detailed, and not the highest. CSE did the work, and they were very happy with the results. My son is very detail-oriented and approved of their workmanship. I liked the work so much that I had them give me an estimate for converting my two wood-burning fireplaces to gas logs. After spending at least an hour inspecting them, Larry told me that one of the fireplaces, a factory-built unit installed in 1990, needed to be completely replaced because it had seriously rusted in my marine atmosphere. I was horrified at the idea since the fireplace is custom-designed granite with an exotic wood paneling surround. To my great relief, Larry said that they could replace the unit from outside the house and leave the interior untouched. They also found considerable deterioration on a masonry fireplace, original to my 1956 house. The total estimate gave me pause at over $22,000, but it was either that or not having working fireplaces. The work was completed by Breinner and Moises, who were outstanding. They kept my house dust-free and explained exactly what they were doing each step of the way. When they took out the factory-built fireplace, it was obvious that the work was justified since some of it was completely rusted through. To help prevent the same thing from happening to the new one, they primed and painted every inch of it with a high-heat coating, and used the most corrosion-resistant materials wherever possible. The job included refurbishing both chimneys to like-new condition. When they left you could not tell that there was ever a giant hole in my house. I am thrilled with the job and feel it was worth every penny since now I can have beautiful fires every chilly evening. Highly recommend.

We recently had a home inspection done by Ali from Morrison Plus Property Inspections, and we felt…read moresuper assured because we knew what we were going into, thanks to Ali's inspection. Ali was professional, extremely thorough, and passionate about his work. He caught both big and small issues -- from non-working outlets to a hidden pipe leak inside the walls.

Because we have a small child, all the minor details about potential safety hazards were invaluable to us. What really stood out was his attention to detail paired with efficiency -- he delivered a comprehensive, easy-to-read report the same day.

I'm a Realtor and have had dozens of property inspections over the years. I wanted to use Raz for…read moremy personal property sale because he claimed he was so detailed, had construction industry background, and he has good reviews. Well, I got swindled. Believe the other reviews that say his inspections are sloppy and his reports are not detailed. (perhaps his good reviews come from people who don't know what to expect.) Basically, Raz is a scam artist. He sold me on the fact that his pricing is $500+ more than other inspectors because of his quality. But the inspection and report I got was the sloppiest and least detailed report I have ever received - for the highest price! Neither my hubby or I was home when he did the inspection. He said it would take 5 hours; he texted after 3 hours saying he was done. He missed a huge list of things, and then completely ghosted me when I pointed it out and asked him to come back. I included pictures and videos, so there was no doubt. Still no response. I have 2 attached apartments on this property. I told him one would not be accessible, but the other tenant would leave the door unlocked. I even told Raz how to access the attic space where the HVAC system is for that unit. He completely SKIPPED inspecting that apartment entirely. He made silly errors, like saying he could not inspect my fireplace because the gas key was not available. But you can even see the key hanging in the photo he provided! He said the lights over my bed were not functional, but he just did not notice the switches on either side of my headboard for those lights. He said the sliding door wouldn't lock, when he wasn't closing it tight enough to engage the pin. He missed appliances in the kitchen, and really didn't even test the ones he did show in the report (I know, because one burner on the stove doesn't light well, and he would have caught that if he'd done a thorough inspection.) I had a list of about 30 things a handyman was scheduled to do, that I knew a good inspector would catch. I like to say "Done, Done Done" on pre-sale inspection reports, so people can see what things have already been paid for and corrected. These were not minor things: tripping hazards, wood rot, bricks pulling away from the concrete, exterior electrical outlets that weren't functioning, outlet covers missing, etc etc. He didn't catch one of those things! The only exterior lights he mentioned were my rear deck lights. He missed 2 front porch lights, security lights, sidewalk lights, front columns lights? How? In the garage, he missed an entire room (where the electrical subpanel is, so that was not in the report either), signs of rodents, outlets not working, etc. He didn't even go on the roof, giving a lame excuse about worrying about falling through. He'd already been in the attics, and could see there was solid sheathing under the metal roof! Every other inspector I've ever had has included a roof inspection, and a referral to a roofing contractor if they see issues beyond their scope. I also told Raz he would not be able to inspect the pool and equipment, because the pool was empty - but to please note that the pump was a newer energy-efficient pump. And I provided photos of the water heater and whole house recirc system to him, which he would not have access to, and asked him to include those in his report as well (with a note that customer had supplied the photos). He included neither of those things. So many other things skipped too! He basically flew through my house doing the least possible, and then refused to release the report to me unless I paid in full - because he KNEW he'd done a completely crap job and would have to go back and do it over if I saw the report before paying. With all of the things I had already indicated would not be accessible or able to test, he discounted the price a little bit initially. But add those things to the apartment he completely skipped, and he really only inspected/reported on about 60% of my property, and even that was extremely subpar. Yet I paid $1200+ for 3 hours of his time. His "detailed 69 page report" basically just had boilerplate verbiage for most items. Do NOT waste your time or money with this guy. If he had done the right thing and offered to come back and make it right, that would be a different story. But the fact that he can do this shoddy work and then ghost me, not taking any responsibility whatsoever, shows the type of guy he really is. He's a sweet talker, but takes advantage when he can. Also be aware that the "home inspector" industry is the only sector that doesn't have any licensing requirements. So there is literally no agency to report him to. That's why he can get away with doing things like this. And he'll do it again. Hopefully not to you.

Here's an honest take of pros and cons though: Pros: - Super nice service and the workers who did the tenting portion of the job even did their best to clean up and fix up our landscaping since we had to rake away gravel and mulch to make this work. - Very competitive pricing, and was actually one of the lowest ones we had out of the few companies we quoted. - Billing is via credit card without any fees, so that was a nice change from the typical check asks. Note handled via phone in terms of credit card billing. Cons: - We still had a few broken tree branches after tent removal. Not removing any stars for that, but more of a watch out to any homeowners who have landscaping or are particular with their gardens to be sure to do all the necessary prep work and hire landscapers after the fumigation to ensure everything is back in order, because your landscaping will be changed up for making fumigation work (or at least that's what happened to our house).
