I received quotes from a couple of companies, and while these guys weren't the cheapest, they were definitely the most knowledgeable and took the time to clearly explain how the repairs would be done. They completed the job in just two days and repaired two addional piers, and everything went smoothly. I do have a slight squeeze in one area of the floor in my raised home, and I'm currently waiting for them to come back and take a look at it. I know pier repair is not much complicated but their crew was professional and their price was reasonable. I would highly recommend these folks.

We needed a home inspection on a new home we're closing soon. IM Home Inspection was referred by…read moreour realtor. Took about 2 and half hours. 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. The inspector was professional, thorough, and took the time to explain the findings in a way that was easy to understand. The inspection report was detailed, well organized, and included clear photos and recommendations for each item. We felt much more informed about the condition of the home and appreciated the honest, unbiased assessment. I would definitely recommend their services to anyone buying a home.

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.

I recently put an offer on a mobile home in Gardena. My realtor set me up with Elite inspections…read moreand I'm so glad she did! The mobile was inspected on 5/23. James was the inspector and he was great! He was on time and very thorough. He was patient about answering my question too. The inspection was scheduled from 10-12. He stayed a little bit longer to make sure everything was checked out. I feel like I got great service at a very fair price. I highly recommend this company!

I used this company for a home inspection later last year. I was told about a lot of small things…read morelike a not properly installed/mounted plug in the access area in the wall for the HVAC. So, I thought this company was no joke... Which was an about $30,000 mistake. As I paid the extra fee for the "pool/spa inspection". The inspector had zero idea what he was doing with the pool "inspection". The pool turned out to be completely compromised. The plaster lining has to be replaced because there are cracks so that are leak leaking behind the plaster. The entire filter and heater are compromised. Everything has to be replaced.

Highly recommend. I looked into mold testing after having…read moresome concerns and spoke with 8 different companies. LA Mold Testing was responsive, communicated well and had a great pricing structure for what I wanted tested.

Sean is the BEST!…read more Other companies have come and done the bare minimum, and so their air tests said there was no mold here (despite the strong stench in my bathroom that clearly indicates the present of mold). My health is suffering because of this mold, and even though I shared that with the previous mold inspectors, they didn't seem to care. Sean cared though. He is super knowledgeable and used his skills and gear and was able to prove that there is mold here. So now I can finally get it remediated. Thank you, Sean! So grateful for you!

Jerry's reports are incredibly thorough, with detailed explanations and helpful pictures that made everything easy to understand. He is extremely knowledgeable and took the time to clearly explain his findings, answer our questions, and make sure we understood both the big picture and the smaller details. What really stood out was Jerry's honesty and integrity. He is thoughtful, straightforward, and does careful, high-quality work. We really appreciated his expertise and would highly recommend Top Dog Certified Home Inspections.

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.

This is the second time I've used JLM and I'd still recommend them. I'll list the pros and cons of…read moremy experience. Positives: Friendly customer service. Good communication and quick scheduling. I was able to have a technician come out the same day I called to schedule. The technician was extremely friendly and helpful. He answered all my questions while he was concentrating on the testing, set up etc. He was careful with his words meaning he didn't cause any unnecessary stress or anxiety. He wasn't pushy and was conscious of the cost while also recommending what samples are needed or suggested. He was clean and careful. Cons: Expensive compared to other mold testing companies. The invoice can quickly add up. I originally planned for about $800 ($500 base fee plus $75 for 4 samples). I added on asbestos test and that brought my bill to over $1300. In some ways I see this as a positive though because you get what you pay for (I hope and can't compare to any other company). My whole house wasn't moisture mapped as I was told it would be. The tech said they only focus on the reported areas of concern. Not a big deal but would've been nice to know. I kept getting rescheduled by 15 minutes. The tech was running late then running early so that was a little confusing. I jokingly asked them if I get compensation for the changed appt time since I signed the contract already (they charge $150 for any changes). They said no. The report is a bit confusing as it was the first time. The most annoying is that in the asbestos report they suggested further testing. Likely costing another $1000 or more. I thought I was already paying for the best testing. This feels a bit like a trick in some ways. Overall I'd go to JLM again. I suggest to do some research beforehand though to know exactly what you need done (AND WHY meaning are you renovating or just wanting to know for health reasons etc) so you don't get unneeded tests or costs.

I cannot recommend John enough! If you need your home inspected by someone you trust that is…read moreworking for you, John is the absolute best. He was extremely diligent and thorough in his inspection, took the time to call out the highlights of what he found right after he finished. He made it very clear that he is on our team and I appreciated that greatly! He found things that a different inspector missed and gave us the best report. The report he shared allowed us to easily get requests for repairs and share the report with the seller. I am forever grateful to John and will definitely hire him again!

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?
