Howard was fantastic to work with. As first-time homebuyers, we wanted a thorough walkthrough to really understand what we were getting into--and he delivered exactly that. He was incredibly detailed during the inspection, carefully checking everything and clearly explaining what fell into major, moderate, and low-risk categories. That breakdown was especially helpful for us in prioritizing upcoming repairs and planning ahead as new homeowners. What stood out most was his honesty and willingness to educate us throughout the process. He never rushed, answered all of our questions, and made sure we felt comfortable every step of the way. He also reassured us that we could reach out anytime after receiving the report, which gave us a lot of peace of mind knowing we have someone we can trust even after the inspection. On top of that, his pricing was very reasonable compared to other quotes we received. Highly recommend Howard to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, honest, and supportive home inspector. read more

I requested an home inspection and it was $450 (a good deal compared to other home inspectors in the Manteca area). Howard did an amazing job. He was very detailed and provided pictures in his report. I got the report on the same day of the inspection. Howard is very professional and responds quickly to emails and calls. All future home inspections I need will definitely be from RNC Inspections! read more

Howard was excellent! He was very professional, knowledgeable and thorough in his inspection. He took his time and inspected every part of the house. He took time after to talk with me, go over everything and answer any questions or concerns I had. 10 out of 10 would definitely recommend his services. Thank you Howard! read more

Great service and thorough inspections. Have used them twice over the past few years and both times received helpful information.

Patient and will sit down with you to explain the issues. Quick turnaround time. Amazing.

I used Yelp to find a home inspector for a new single family home. After speaking with 10+ home inspectors, Howard earned my business as he was the only one to take my call and listen to all my concerns. At the time of the inspection there were issues with the electric panel of the home. Howard proceeded forward with the inspection, and even waited until the electrician came to turn the power back on. I feel bad for taking more of his time than needed, but that's the level of professionalism you get with Howard. He was even willing to come back another day. The report was generated later that same evening and immediately forwarded to my builder. That morning I was given my first walk through and I was very happy with the aesthetics of the home but after reading Howard's report, he was able to address things and issues I wouldn't have even known about (strength of air flow of hvac, slight water leak under bathroom sink, missing safety harness for water tank). He was worth every penny and will continue to use him for any inspection needs. read more

The best home inspection with reasonable price and very quick turn around. Our regular home inspector was out for a while and we found Howard of RNC from Yelp. We are very happy with Howard's quick response, throughout during inspection and his reports are available almost right the way. We will be using RNC for home and roof inspection moving forward and would highly recommend Howard and his company. read more

Great service!! Through report and great recommendations of what we needed to discuss with our new build contractor

I'm a real estate agent and I hired Howard for a home inspection on a mobile home. He was on time and evey thorough. He answered all of our questions and got the report back very quickly. He is reasonably priced and stands behind his work. He has impressed all of my clients which makes me look great. Thank you Howard! read more

Thanks to Howard we got few leak spots fixed in our roof. He sent us a detailed report on our home inspection. We would definitely recommend him. read more

Recently did a home inspection for us at a townhouse we planned to purchase. Wow I am so glad I listened to my husband who insisted we get an home inspection. I was mostly enamored with a recent and beautiful remodel in kitchens and baths I didn't think we needed one. Like they say about putting lipstick on a pig. Howard found 3 major mechanicals that were end of life and very expensive to replace. HVAC roof unit plus corroded gas supply lines ($10k) + cracks in the tub bottom in a fiberglass shower over tub enclosure ($10k) + end of life water heater can fail (and flood) any day (cha ching). So happy we didn't get in a rush buying expensive real estate without a home inspection from Howard. He's our go-to guy from now on. Needless to say, we are moving on to other properties. read more

If you need an inspector RNC Inspections is the way to go he was responsive, kind and most importantly took my concerns seriously and explained any issues that came up in my inspection report very well and answered all my questions. He takes his job very seriously and is there for his customers and everything was done very very quickly. He came to my property and within the same day I had a full report. I also was there as he did his inspection and he answered every single question I threw at him, as a new homeowner I had many and he was on my side. You don't ever get that when buying a home and you need it! Choose RNC they are the way to go! Thank you for your help!! read more

Howard is incredibly knowledgeable and thorough and that's what you want in a home inspector. He went on the roof, under the house, and in all of the hidden areas where problems lurk. From my experience, inspectors have to be asked to do that or just plain refuse to go there. He explains what's going on as he finds things (or doesn't) and if it's a serious problem or not. Howard was on time and on task. His prices were the best around. We had our report back in about 12 hours and boy was it detailed. Great job Howard! Thank you for your attention to detail and breadth of knowledge. read more

Howard was punctual, professional, and exactly what I was looking for in a home inspector. He was exceptionally thorough and brought decades of construction experience in his assessment of our home purchase. He took the time to answer any questions I had and gave us a lot more confidence in our purchase. Highly recommended and will definitely be reaching out for his services for future homes! read more

Howard was the quickest to reply to my quote request and got me scheduled right away on short notice. He's very friendly and informative. The report was done and sent over to me only a few hours after the inspection was done. Would definitely recommend. read more

Howard of the NRC owner did the inspections of the builder's 11 month warranty. He caught the some defective issues on roof, HVAC ... Which we are unable to find by ourselves. So we highly recommend him as your professional inspector! read more

HOWARD IS AMAZING! We recently moved in to a new house and we needed a professional to inspect the house and let us know what needed to be done on the house. Howard is such a nice person to work with, super communicative, detailed and knowledgeable. This is the first time we work with any professionals, and we are so glad to work with Howard. THANK YOU Howard! :) read more

Wow, these guys really know what they are talking about! The owner offers a wealth of knowledge and is clearly just trying to help. He will tell you his honest opinion based on his 20 years of experience in construction, even if the recommendation is to not spend any money. That's how you know you can trust what he's saying. Would highly recommend these folks. read more

5 STARS!!!!! Hands down!!! Mike with Moore Home Group (my best pest guy) www.moorehomegroup.com recommended Howard Rosenberg to do our home inspection. This will be our 1st home, so I rely on word of mouth to find the best of the best so we don't get stuck with ruins. I booked both inspectors at the same time and they worked flawlessly and efficiently together. You can read my review on Moore Home Group on my yelp, this review is all about this phenomenal inspector, Howard. First, before Howard, I was told by many home owners that home inspectors don't climb on roofs, go into attic or crawl spaces. I would need to hire different specialist for each. I was stressed out bc all I could see was $$$ leaving my bank account. Howard arrived prior to our appointment time, introduced himself, explained the process, and started. Such a professional and through man. I followed him around and captured his work, bc that's just how I (Asian person) roll and he was cool with it. I asked him if he could inspect the roof in detail bc on the home disclosures the seller's inspector only used 'binoculars' to inspect (wtf is that?!?). Howard, advised me no need to to even ask bc he does it all. He got his ladder, safety ladder harness, and climb his butt onto my roof. During the inspection he found that our chimney wood sliding panels were damaged from water, so they would need replacing. After, he climb into the attic and found a few more problems needing attention: air duct pipes (whatever they are called) installed incorrectly; gas pipes only went to our laundry room -- I like gas stoves so now I need a plumber guy to extend that into kitchen (Mike with Kelly's Family Plumbing is who we used); electrical outlets had no safety reset buttons; he also check water pressure and gave recommendations as well. He also advised that our furnace is HELLA old and could crap out at any time, lol. Howard took his time, he took pictures of issues found, thoroughly explained in detail, gave solutions. We got his inspection report right away and sent to the sellers so they could fix some of the problems found, which they did...money saved!!! in this process of home buying any money saved is always a Bonus. Howard!!!! I could go on and on about how much you know your craft and for being so patient with me and my whole family (there was a lot of us there bombarding him with questions, lol) this would be a 10page review. Seriously, Howard, if you are reading this THANK YOU for making our home buying process so much easier and advising us of things we overlooked. Much appreciated. read more

See all

Howard at RNC Inspections was excellent. He is super knowledgeable, communicates well, and takes his work seriously. He was able to point out different things and then explain why something might look bad, but is actually nothing to worry about. He also went above and beyond and pointed out several things that were not related to the initial purpose of the inspection, which was very helpful to my wife and me. We highly recommend Howard. read more

I noticed water seeping into my home through a sliding glass door that I had installed in 2015 this past Jan 2023 when we had the horrendous rain storms here in No California. Due to the unusual circumstances involving this water intrusion and how it was coming in, I wasn't sure if it was the fault of the contractor who installed my door or the HOA's fault due to a damaged rain gutter. I decided to get a professional building inspector in to see if they could determine what the cause could be. After researching Building Inspectors online, I found Howard and his company RNC Inspections. I knew within minutes of talking with him that he had a lot of knowledge about specific issues related to my water intrusion and I felt very comfortable contracting with him for my inspection. He performed an entire inspection related to my water intrusion issue and compiled a comprehensive report which determined that there may be two entities that were at fault. Repairs have been made since Howard and I communicated last March, and some questions have come up in the interim. As a result, I contacted him recently to see if I could get his opinion on the subject. He responded right away with an invitation to call him. He has been so responsive and accommodating with his time in terms of discussing this issue with me, that I had to write this review. He's got a great deal of professional expertise in the building industry and also provides excellent customer service. I am so glad that I found him, and as long as I live in No California, he will get my business if the occasion arises. read more

The whole inspection experience with Howard was great! He checked every area of the house thoroughly. I would ask questions in between and he would answer them. He also took the time to address any concerns I had. At the end of the inspection, he went over the full report and explained what should be fixed or are just recommendations so we could get it taken care of with warranty. I would recommend Howard to everyone! read more

Fantastic experience! Not only did Howard do an exceptional and thorough job, but he accommodated our timing needs. He was easy to get in contact with, and gave us the best quality of inspection we could have hoped for. He went above and beyond to make sure we had all the information we needed and even stayed to answer all of our additional questions (we had a lot), and point out places he was referring to for minor updates. Please someone give this man a trophy for his amazing work. Thanks again!! read more

Howard was amazing and very kind. This was my first time dealing with a home inspection so I was very nervous. Howard was very punctual wand arrived pay our designated appointment time which I was very grateful for. He walked me through the entire process of what he would be doing and then took the extra time to chat about things when he was finished. His report came promptly and was very clear. Working with RNC Inspections helped to remove some of the stress of selling a home and I can't thank him enough. They will be the only people I refer to my friends and family. read more

I recently had my roof inspected by RNC Inspections. Howard arrived early and for a very fair price did a thorough inspection accompanied by a report and photos. I could have even opted to not have a report at a less expensive cost but chose not to. He took the time to explain his findings and what my options were. I would definitely use RNC again. I was very pleased. read more

Howard was able to inspect a home quickly before the contingency period ended. He was incredibly thorough and patient with explaining the issues he found. He provided very detailed notes and pictures and uncovered many more issues with the home than the first HomeGuard inspection did. We were able to make an informed decision and withdraw our offer thanks to the great information Howard provided for us. We will definitely use him again in the future! read more

Howard was a pleasure to work with. This is our first time buying a home and Howard made the whole inspection process easy to understand.
