I want to respond to several inaccurate statements in the prior review from my landlord Elizabeth…read more  Firstly, Zach was the technician who conducted the inspection. He was courteous, knowledgeable and professional. Ian is the owner of the company. From my experience with him in this short while , I've learned he is a family man with astounding integrity. Second, I did not contact this company Cal-View Property Inspections casually or without cause. I reached out because there were serious ongoing concerns in my home, involving exposed walls, abnormal air quality, and conditions that affected my family's health and safety. At the time, children were living in the home, and the wall area had remained exposed for an extended period. The inspection was not the cause of the problem. It was conducted because I needed answers about conditions that already existed inside the unit. The inspection helped confirm that mold concerns were present in the air and on surfaces within the home, including in my daughter's bedroom. After the inspection, I pursued code enforcement. That process resulted in multiple code violations being identified, and repairs were required. My family was displaced as a result of the condition of the home, not because of anything this company created. The statements suggesting improper motive or lack of professionalism do not reflect my experience. I hired this company because I needed an independent assessment, and from my experience they were professional, responsive, and helpful during an extremely stressful situation. This company did not create the conditions in my home. They documented them. I am grateful I contacted them.

Walked us through everything, clearly foundation, roof, attic, mechanicals, and finishes. Pointed out the two small issues (one non-working GFCI and minor organic growth on a 2x4 in the attic), and explained everything on the questions I have. Would definitely recommend Ian for new construction inspections. Great guy and solid inspection. Thanks Ian!

The good: friendly staff who tries to work with you and the builder. The report was provided less than 24 hours after the inspection. The mid: when I called to ask about their availability and what they look for, I was told there would be a follow-up call addressing a question that couldn't be answered on the spot, but never received a call back. The bad: inspector (Joseph) mainly noted things that I had already identified before his walkthrough (blue taped). He did catch there there were 2 broken tiles that I was not able to see. When the builder went to fix it, they noticed 4 broken tiles. The ugly: when I moved in 4 days later, I noticed none of the hot water valves were turned on in the entire house. Made me think it wasn't tested... my theory was kinda confirmed when I installed by fridge 4 days later, turned on the fridge water line (which was hooked up to the kitchen sinks hot water valve), and had water dripping out of my ceiling within 5 minutes. I emailed Golden State Inspections to let them know that Joseph missed this and have not even received an acknowledgment to my email (I emailed them 5 days ago). I wasn't asking them to fix it or anything, but a simple acknowledgment would have been nice. Be warned. If you hire this company and get Joseph on a new construction inspection, it's may be a lazy report.

This company was hired to complete a pest inspection prior to my escrow closing. I called…read moreimmediately when the inspection was scheduled to provide payment over the phone. I spoke with a woman at the front desk and gave my card information at that time. After the inspection was completed, I received the report via email. I replied to confirm with Kevin that my payment information had been received. He responded confirming that it had and stated he would charge my card once he returned from working out of town. I continued to check my account, but the charge never appeared, and over time it unfortunately slipped my mind. Fast forward seven months later--one week before Christmas--I was contacted requesting payment. I replied to the entire email chain showing my prior attempts to pay and explained that, due to the timing and lack of notice, I would need to make payment when I was able, as this expense had not been budgeted for. I also spoke with Kevin by phone, and while he seemed understanding, there was no acknowledgment that this delay was due to the company's failure to process payment when originally authorized. Last night, I noticed my card had been charged, leading me to believe my card information from seven months ago was used without prior notice or authorization at that time. This is not about avoiding payment--I made every effort to pay promptly and responsibly from the beginning. This situation is disappointing, especially as many of us are making a conscious effort to support small businesses in our community. Unfortunately, based on this experience, I would recommend using a different company for pest inspection services.

Well I wish I could give a negative rating but that's not possible. I see through Reading the…read morereviews that this company has been doing the same shady stuff for 10 plus years. I'm the buyer who was looking to purchase a house and the seller had already had a pest report done by stoneridge. I went over the past report and under the guidance and oversight of a licensed contractor performed a lot of the major repairs on the pest report. I decided to call them out for a reinspection and Kevin was super rude on the phone after he had done the inspection. And upon receiving the new report he pointed out new items that weren't on the initial inspection. He listed items again that had already been appropriately repaired and inspected by a state structural inspector. And did not provide photos for about half of the items that he called out. This company is about as shady as it gets. I would not recommend using them. You could spend a year calling them out and chasing all of the issues that don't exist or have already been repaired.
