Joe is THE BEST. Ive used him quite a bit in the last year and I am always pleased with his work. He takes the time to thoroughly explain things to me, timely and honest. I recently needed an inspection and report much faster then normal and he was able to accommodate me. I will continue to use this company and you should ABSOLUTELY use them as well.

Chula Vista new home inspection:
We recently had Joe come in to inspect our new home despite it being a new construction sinceohh well..I wanted to cross all the Ts. Joe came across as someone who is very knowledgeable and I couldnt have asked for a better person for the job at hand. He did an extremely good (and a prompt) job of putting together a thorough inspection report for our builder which helped expedite the overall process. I would highly recommend Joe!

Ive worked with Joe professionally and have used him for my own personal home inspections. He is very meticulous about how he conducts his inspections and observations of a property.

I used San Diego home inspection to check out a craftsman home built in the 1920s and Im definitely glad I did. Andy came out and went the extra mile with his inspection.

I hired this home inspection company for our last two house purchases. I paid extra for them to drive to Long Beach which is outside of their normal service area. I didnt mind because I wanted the best and they were highly recommended by some close friends who work in the real estate biz. Both of the homes we purchased were raised foundation which requires the home inspector to suit up and crawl between the ground and floor joists, very tight under both houses. On both occasions the inspection revealed important issues that needed to be fixed or planned for future replacement. Using their

My realtor friends told me this is the best home inspection company in San Diego. So I used them for a full home inspection even though I was originally only in need of a foundation inspection. The price was competitive with other companies I researched. The inspection report was so impressive and there were quite a few items that needed repair. We had no idea there was heavily corroded gas piping beneath the house. This could have been a future leak resulting in fire, possibly even an explosion as the gas piping was next to a furnace with an exposed pilot light! Money well spent. We highly
