I hired Perry Farnum of Farnum Inspection Service for a home inspection of my older home in San…read moreJose, and I was very pleased with his work. Perry was very thorough and took his time inspecting the house. His report was detailed, well organized, and included clear explanations and photos of the issues he found. I especially appreciated that he identified and prioritized safety issues and areas that need further evaluation rather than simply pointing out cosmetic problems. The report gave me a much better understanding of the condition of my home and helped me determine which repairs I should address first. Perry was also helpful in answering my questions after the inspection and recommending that I get a termite/WDO inspection where appropriate. I would definitely recommend Perry to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, thorough, and professional home inspector in the San Jose area.

See the picture attached, that's bad electrical panel work. That's a potential fire 20 feet away from my kids bedrooms. See. How. Small. That. Is. SEE IT! or don't! PERRY FOUND THIS! Melting/bubbling sheathing around wire, from an electrician that didn't tighten the screw on the panel bar (which is required as part of their work). Resistance- heating wire- melting plastic. Eventually this would have resulted in serious consequences that I never would have caught until it was too late. Based on my experience the state of the trades out there doing these "smaller" jobs is nose diving in quality. Hiring Terry, or someone just as good, is a necessity if you live on the peninsula.

If you're looking for a trustworthy, reliable, and highly professional inspection company, I can't recommend Elite enough. We will absolutely use them again and confidently recommend them to others.

Responsive and flexible: He worked around our tight escrow timeline and was always quick to respond. 2. Professional and reliable: Brian coordinated directly with our real estate agent to access the home and complete the inspection while we were at work--super convenient. 3. Detailed and easy to understand: The inspection report was extremely thorough, filled with clear photos and explanations in plain language (perfect for someone like me who isn't super home-savvy). He even included cost-effective suggestions--like simple one-hour DIY fixes from Home Depot--that could save us money right away. After the inspection, I texted Brian with a few follow-up questions, and he took the time to call me personally to walk through his findings and recommendations. He was clear, concise, and genuinely friendly. Brian goes above and beyond to give you true peace of mind during the home-buying process. I can't recommend him highly enough!

She completed a full-house inspection for us and patiently walked me through what needed to be prioritized, why it mattered, and what could reasonably wait. What impressed me even more was that there was one area she couldn't access during the initial inspection. She volunteered to come back once access was available so she could complete the inspection, and she followed through. Tammy is also extremely responsive and thoughtful in her communication. She approaches every question as if she were evaluating the house for herself, which gave us a lot of confidence in her recommendations. I would highly recommend her.

I had a very positive experience with these David and Golden Gate Home Inspections…read more My friend asked me to help find, book, and manage a home inspection for him. He is not buying or selling, he just wants to know what needs to be fixed in his Victorian SF home. David was on time, very curtious and knowledgeable, and a nice person to chat with. He was especially happy to be doing the work for someone who really wanted to know all the potential problems, instead of for a seller that might wish there were no potential repairs. I will reach out to them to schedule a similar inspection for my mom's home.

BBB Complaint: 25332734…read more I am rejecting this response because: there are some facts that were not accurate. September 14, 2025: Report delivered to the client and his two agents only based on the business reply. The owner admitted the report was delivered to his two "agents." I do not have "two" agents. One is the seller's agent and the other is the buyer's agent. The owner admitted that the home inspection report was provided to the seller's agent without my explicit permission. In addition, I was present when the home inspector stated that he will provide the home inspection report to the seller's agent. As the business owner, it is important to take accountability for your mistakes and provide a reasonable remedy to resolve the concerns. Nothing more and nothing less. Please consider taking this as a learning lesson and reiterate to your employees to avoid and prevent questionable conduct in future home inspections. September 23, 2026: Please see attached. The letter was sent to the home owner from the HOA warning the "owner" that HOA identified the window bars listed in the picture attached that it was a fire hazard and "must" be removed by October 15, 2026. HOA is not taking responsibility to remove the window bars and the "associated cost" may be charged back to the owner. The owner is implying that they "read" and "understood" the bylaws of my HOA instead of taking accountability for their mistake to address the oversight of their home inspection. Nowhere in the home inspection report, it was noted that the window bars are a fire hazard that will be a problem that will need to be removed prior to the sale of the home. In addition, I attached pictures of two doors that cannot open or close properly that was not noted in the home inspection report. The closet door in the hallway sticks out and cannot open and close properly like a normal functioning door. Also, the bathroom door is a "death trap" that was not properly addressed and the owner sent a worker to "temporarily" alleviate the owner's concern since the worker did not bring the proper tools to fix it. The owner stated to me that during home inspections that they do not typically check doors. My expectations from a home inspection was that the company will find issues and problems that needs to be addressed prior to the buyer signing off all the paperwork. Some of the most basic problems and issues were overlooked and as the first time home buyer, I felt scammed and cheated by the home inspection company with 5 stars. It failed to meet my basic expectations of what a home inspection should find.

I wanted to share an inspection experience that I had yesterday. Our inspectors name was Tony and…read morehe was not only professional, but went above and beyond what I would expect out of a home inspection. Not only did he get us the report printed out the same day, he was genuinely confident that he left no stone unturned. He went under the home, in the attic, on the roof, and checked everything in between. He came prepared with shoe covers, a tyvec suit, ladder and orange gloves. The amount of pictures that we received made us sure that the inspection was full proof and clearly visualized/pictured any damages or things needing fixed. We truly wanted to leave him an outstanding review for the confidence that he has given us with the forever home we are choosing. It is always scary moving into a new place not knowing the true condition of everything. Thank you, Tony for the full amount of peace of mind. Also, another big thanks for having us pay close attention to our daughter while the ladder was out. Great work, WOULD DEFINITELY REFER TONY TO ALL FRIENDS AND FAMILY
