Having purchased several properties in the past, we can confidently say this was the first time we…read moreexperienced what a truly thorough home inspection should be. Juan Morales and Edgar Olivares spent nearly three hours carefully evaluating the property. Just as importantly, they took the time to explain their findings and patiently answer all of our questions, making sure we fully understood the condition of the home and any areas requiring immediate attention. For context, the inspection was for a two-story single-family home in La Crescenta with a finished/converted garage. We also included sewer system inspection at the same time. The inspection report was exceptionally organized, detailed, and easy to understand, allowing us to quickly prioritize the findings and make informed decisions. Booking was quick and seamless, and the entire process was professional from start to finish. Juan and Edgar set a new standard for what we expect from a home inspection. We highly recommend them and their company to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, thorough, and professional home inspection team.

Though they were on a higher cost it pays off with the provided detailed report they send. We had a great experience with our home inspection.

Other than normal aging of an older home, Darren spoke to us about options to tighten some areas up, earthquake retrofit and some minor maintenance suggestions. He was extremely personable and knowledgeable and made me feel so much better about the occasional creaks you hear in an older house and one that is on a raised foundation. The written report with photos that followed after the inspection is exactly what you will need to show a contractor or foundation/subfloor specialist if needed. Thanks again Darren.

I found Christian with Lincoln Inspection after a general search online. I chose him since he has a…read morefew decades of general contracting experience and countless positive reviews. Having that GC experience allows him to know about the ins and outs of how homes should be built. I also liked the fact it was just him and not a larger company with different people to go through or the risk it was some newbie inspector that would show up for the inspection. Christian was extremely communicative and flexible with scheduling. He was very thorough with his inspection and report and has been willing and very responsive to answer all additional questions we have had after the fact. I will continue using Christian with any and all inspections I may need in the future.

I'll bet that his inspections are great bc he clearly cares about people and his industry.

I paid an incremental fee for rapid results and received their exceeding thorough reports (plus photos) within less than 24 hours!

We bought our home and within two months had to replace the roof. The cost: $132,000.

How could an "certified roof expert " miss these important conditions? Mike Hasty is a very bad home inspector.
