My husband and I hired Alan to complete our home inspection for our first home purchase and we were very happy with his service! It was a last minute request on a Friday night for a home inspection the following Sunday. Alan was quick to respond with a professional and friendly email. His price was extremely fair and he confirmed the inspection as soon as we gave him the OK. Alan sent a text message the night before the inspection to again confirm the appointment. On the day of the inspection, Alan arrived early and was very friendly and patient with us. He walked through every room of the house with us to make sure that we understood everything and he answered our (sometimes ignorant) questions with patience and understanding. My husband and I learned so much about our house! Overall, Alan was professional, kind, easy to talk to, and did an excellent home inspection. His inspection report got back to us very quickly and provided photos and detailed explanations of everything. He even provided useful links and documents for everything we need to know about maintaining our home. Alan made our first home buying experience so much easier and we highly recommend Alicante Home Inspections! Thank you Alan--you were fantastic! read more

I was referred to Alan by a good friend as he knew I was purchasing an older home that needed a thorough review. Contacting Alan was easy - he was very responsive. I had a short 10-day inspection contingency so I set up for an appointment right after I found out I was in escrow. Explained to Alan that I needed to get this done asap, so he moved his schedule around to accommodate my needs - was able to secure an inspection the very next morning! When I got to the home the next morning for inspection at slightly before our agreed upon time, Alan was no where in sight. My friend and I waited patiently for Alan to arrive, and when the meet-time came, Alan walks out of the back of the house to greet us. It turns out he was inspecting the home long before my friend and I even showed up! Alan did his thing, I had questions along the way and at the very end, Alan gave us a very nice walk-through summary of repairs needed. Throughout this whole interaction, it did not feel like your typical inspector telling you what's wrong and needed to be fixed. It felt more like an acquaintance who really enjoys what he does, and would like to share information about his hobby with you. This level of service cannot be beat! I received the inspection report a day later. It was a FULL review of the home that came with pictures of virtually all aspects of the home. Now, if you're a shaky home buyer like I was, knowing what you're getting into will ease your mind. I believe Alan delivered on that end and now I'm on my way to getting my first home! Note: Alan, if you're reading this, just want to say thanks! you're the man! read more

Alan is a very nice and knowledgeable guy! He took his time to inspect the house carefully. His reports came timely and were very thorough and easy to understand. He even sent additional materials and tips to help me optimize the homes. I'd worked with another home inspector before. He was also good but Alan was just above and beyond! I contacted him again for another house and his work continued to impress me. I found Alan on Yelp and after working with him, I have to say he deserves all the 5 star reviews. Definitely will work with him again! read more

Al and his colleague were very efficient and nice people. We received a thorough report on our new home and we appreciated everything they did. They were also at a very decent price, which we really needed. Thank you again! Great job! read more

Alan is the best! The first time I worked with Alan he exceeded all my expectations. He calls and explains his findings to me before calling my clients and explaining it again to him. If he questions anything he will go back and do full research before sending me recommendations. I honestly call Alan for anything having to do with a property, he is my right hand man :) The drone he uses is pretty awesome too! read more

I have used this company for inspections of two homes that I purchased in Orange County and I have been extremely impressed with the attention to customer service that Alan gives. The inspections were thorough and came with plenty of photos to support the reports, but most importantly I appreciated the telephone contact follow-up to ensure my questions were thoroughly answered. Prompt scheduling was helpful and the company was very flexible in inspection ty times. A plus service! read more

As a first time home buyer, I contacted Alan for the inspection of a small condo. Alan gave me a Sunday morning appointment on MOTHER'S DAY. This was great news as we were in a hurry to close the escrow. Alan showed up 10 minutes before the appointment time and he spent more than an hour with me and my agent at the property. He went thru every possible detail and informed us about the condition of every area he inspected. Alan is coming from insurance contractor background. His deep knowledge and expertise helped us to identify possible risks with a prior repair which was almost impossible to detect. Kudos Alan for that! The report was ready next morning. Great photos and deep informative comments were written in the report. Although the condo is pretty new, Alan was able to identify possible risks, repairs, and required maintenance. His friendly and informative attitude and attention to details made me to log-in and write this review. I'm not much of a Yelp reviewer but I would like others know that I couldn't expect more from Alan. We got into a conflict with the seller and Alan provided assistance and consulting 1 week after the inspection at no additional charge. In addition, Alan also provided guidance and recommendation on how to handle small things by myself. He also recommended a contractor in the area and asked me to get a quote and compare prices. I will definitely keep in touch with Alan and contact him for anything having to do with my new condo. Thank you Alan for being sincere, friendly, and professional. My real estate agent also asked me his contact information and he is planning to work with you going forward! You've not only impressed me but also my agent!! read more

Alan is really a productive guy and always on time . As an RE agent, I and my client were really satisfied with his service . I definitely will contact Alan company for my next and next deal . Thank you for your service read more

I found Alan searching on Yelp as I do when I'm looking for the very best! I was not disappointed. Alan showed up early to the inspection, When I arrived he was using his drone to inspect my roof. He called me over and showed me some slipped roofing tile that were on the second story roof. I was surprised because the house was only 12 years old. As a result we called out a roofing contractor they confirmed the the tiles have slip out of position and the the felt paper below was also deteriorated. The roofing contractor quoted $3500 to repair the roof. My Agent was able to negotiate the cost or repairs with the seller and we had the roof repaired. Alan also did an excellent job on the report he is extremely detailed and had the report ready the following day. He took tons of photos, even aerial photos of the surrounding area from 300 feet above. I was able to get a great view of the surrounding neighborhood. Alan told me the he looks for green mosquito infested pools when hes up the high in the air. Thank you so much Alan me and my family really appreciate your detailed report! read more

As a realtor for over 13 years I have worked with many inspectors. I would highly recommend Alan each and every time! He was very professional and on time. When he arrived he was very thorough and even used a drone to give my client up close pictures of the roof. There were a few issues with the home, that he pointed out, without making it sound as if the house were going to fall apart! This is very important for a first time home buyer because they are nervous and want to make sure the home is in great condition. He pointed out some things that a previous inspector missed, and this made all the difference for my clients, because we were able to negotiate the repair of these items. I will definitely recommend Al to any agent or a first time home buyer in the future! read more

Alan arrived half an hour before our appointment to get a head start, and spent a long time explaining every detail of the home to us. He was extremely experienced, knowledgable, and friendly. As first time home buyers, we had planned to get additional inspections from fire, mold, and electricity inspectors...but after speaking with Alan, we were confident that his expertise was more than sufficient to cover those areas of concern. In total, Alan spent over 2 hours at the home with us, and sent us a very detailed report on his findings afterwards. We feel much more confident and informed moving forward with our purchase. read more

Alan did the home inspection for our home purchase. I highly recommend Alan! He was prompt, professional, and very knowledgeable. With his background as a general contractor, he explained every issue in detail and provided a solid opinion. Alan is also a nice, patient professional who is willing to go above and beyond to answer any questions regarding the property. After I received his thorough, easy-to-read report, he sent me a follow-up email to provide more information regarding an air ventilation question that came up during the inspection. He didn't have to research and send me more information, but I really appreciated his desire to provide the best customer service and professional opinion to all his clients. I trust Alan's opinion and recommend Alicante Home Inspections to anyone who needs to get a home inspection done on a property. Thanks Alan! read more

Buying a home can be very stressful and when it is time for the inspection it is important to find someone you can trust. We actually have done two inspections on two different homes with Alicante Home Inspections and it both times Alan was informative and honest with everything that he was able to notice. Alan begins by using his drone to fly over and around the house to take some aerial pictures and then he follows up with the interior of the house. After the inspection was done Alan emailed us a full detailed report with everything that we need to be aware of moving forward before purchasing the home. Alan also provided us with a discount both times we did the inspection. At the end of the day if you are about to purchase a home and you want an inspector that has experience, honest and at an extremely affordable price, do not hesitate to call Alan with Alicante Home Inspections to give you peace of mind during this stressful time. read more
