I contacted Calview and spoke with Ian regarding my need for an inspection of our home's HVAC system. Ian asked multiple questions about the type of inspection we were looking for, what type of system we had, and what our expectations for the inspection were, then actually recommended a different specialist inspector who he believed would be able to provide the service we were looking for. I appreciate the integrity of a business that is more concerned with helping a potential client than trying to make a quick buck. I will definitely be sure to recommend Ian and Calview to friends who are looking for inspection services! read more

I want to respond to several inaccurate statements in the prior review from my landlord Elizabeth.  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. read more

lan responded to my inquiry quickly and he was able to schedule the inspection next day for our future home. He did a very detailed inspection, and also offers drone service for the roof/ solar panels. Ones he was done inspecting the home he emailed the written report to us the same day. We are happy with his service and if we ever need another home inspection, we would look to use his services again. Thank you lan! read more

Ian was quick to respond, knowledgeable, and patient throughout the home inspection process. He returned the report same-day. Appreciated working with him! read more

Ian provided excellent service and was a pleasure to do business with. He was highly efficient, responsive, and knowledgeable. When I began searching for an inspector, he was the first to respond to my request. Furthermore, he was very accommodating of my personal schedule constraints. I am grateful to Ian for conducting such a thorough inspection to ensure our property is safe, and I appreciate the professionalism and attention to detail he displayed throughout the process." Thank you again for your assistance. read more

Ian called me almost immediately after I submitted a Yelp quote request. He was super professional, efficient, and thorough in completing the inspection on my commercial property. Great communication, and great, competitive rate on my commercial property inspection. read more

My home's one-year inspection is coming up, and I wanted a professional to take a thorough look at everything--from top to bottom--to ensure any issues that could be addressed by the builder are caught in time. For peace of mind, I submitted a project request on Yelp, and to my surprise, Ian from Calview called me within 15 minutes of submitting it. His promptness was impressive and very much appreciated. Ian stood out immediately as the only person who was truly responsive. He took the time to listen to my concerns and understand why this inspection was important to me. I shared that my significant other is currently away on deployment and unable to assist, and Ian, being a fellow service member, genuinely connected with my situation. He also mentioned that military families receive a discount, which was a thoughtful and much-appreciated gesture. Out of all the responses I received, Ian offered the most reasonable pricing by far (even before the military discount). When it came to the inspection itself, Ian made scheduling simple and was punctual on the day of the appointment. He was respectful of my home and even took the time to give our kitty some tummy rubs LOL! Throughout the inspection, he was incredibly thorough. He walked me through each item he noted, explaining everything in layman's terms--which I found very helpful, especially since I'm not in construction or home inspection myself. At the end of the visit, Ian let me know I'd receive a detailed report online, which I could easily forward to the builder if needed. Overall, I'm extremely satisfied with Ian's service and wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to friends and family. He made a potentially stressful process feel smooth, respectful, and reassuring. read more

We were looking for a home inspection for our one-year new-build home. We found Ian and was drawn to his great price. The initial interaction was great, as Ian was friendly, and addressed any initial concerns we had with our home. Once he arrived, he used a drone to check the roof, thermal camera to check for hidden leaks/moisture, checked breakers, water heater, ac condenser, plumbing, foundation, settlement cracks, and went in the attic. He took photos of everything and notated the issues, and even gave us the report same day. For under 400, it's not bad. Unsure how much different or more detailed other inspectors wouldve been. All other quotes we got were $500+ read more

Hired Ian for the final walkthrough on our new build home and he was excellent. He was thorough, straightforward, and easy to work with. 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! read more

Wow, what a fantastic experience! I reached out to Calview Property Inspections to get mold tested in our house. Ian was quick to respond, flexible with my schedule, and had immediate availability! All costs and services were explained up front. Zack came out to the house to do the testing and was extremely professional, knowledgeable, and the nicest human I have ever met. I wish I would have known about these guys before we bought our house! read more

Ian did our mold inspection today and honestly made a stressful situation feel manageable. He showed up on time, came in with a great attitude, and was extremely professional throughout. He took the time to explain what he was looking for, what signs mattered, and what the next steps should be. No rushing, no pressure, just clear answers and real expertise. Super friendly, very thorough, and easy to work with. I'd recommend Ian to anyone who wants a legit inspection done right. read more

Amazing company! I was able to have someone come out the next day and he really went above and beyond for us! He did a single family home and an ADU inspection and was very thorough. Definitely recommend!! Thank you again!!! read more

Ian came down to the Bay Area to do a mold inspection at the request of a tenant. This property is owned by a very elderly woman with dementia, we are trying to sell the property to pay for her care and this tenant is trying to block our ability to do so. Ian opened the door to a room with an active mold remediation in progress (one that has taken awhile due to the rain and this tenant's availability). We cannot understand why he proceeded as the storage room was clearly under construction, the walls were open and the door was to remain shut. And the only reason there were no workers there that day is because it was pouring down rain. You are NOT supposed to do a mold test 1) when it is raining and/or 2) when active remediation is taking place. We called 5 mold inspectors and every single one said they would never have performed a mold inspection and were shocked one was conducted. But Ian had driven all the way down, so we guess he needed to make it worth his while. To make matters worse we received an angry missing from this tenant that Ian told her he had to block our calls as we called him day and night harassing him. We did call to try to get him to explain the test. What mold inspector avoids explaining their methodology and results? 1st time: Ian said he was driving and would call back, didn't. 2nd: called and left a message 3rd: called and tried to get him to explain why he took the teat under those conditions. Ian refused and hung up. That's it, 3 calls but only one actual conversation. The tenant also states that Ian told her she must immediately vacate the premises as "there's toxic mold everywhere!" He denied this, she insists it's true and she is receiving thousands of dollars a week to relocate. Other mold experts who have looked at this test also say it's not true, but this is the Bay Area, California- tenants have more rights than property owners. Shocked to see so many glowing 5 star reviews. Edit: Ian we told you we are paying for the inspection and everything in this review is 100% accurate. Yelp should know this inspection was done on private property without the owner's permission given and we have every right to review a product or service we are paying for. If Yelp needs proof, we are happy to show them the report that is in our possession. The man conducted a mold inspection in a room with open walls that was under construction and people should know that. And then he lied about our communications with him. 2nd edit: I am NOT the landlord. I am simply trying to help an elderly woman with dementia and I have for years, as that tenant well knows. We do not own the property- we don't want anything to do with it, but she is completely helpless. And Ian is the one who took the calls (which were only actually 2, not 3 and certainly not multiple harassing calls "day and night" as he told the tenant). He never stated he didn't do the inspection. And really, all we wanted to know was what was the process, what was the explanation for taking a test when there's active construction and what was his recommendation, all reasonable. I've never seen an inspector so adverse to wanting to help solve the problem. Our questions were simple: which room are you addressing here in this section? What do these numbers mean here? If he doesn't want reviews like this, then I suggest he consider answering the questions from the people who trying to solve the problem. read more

Best price best performer . very flexible. I highly recommend this young honest , educative man . I give him all stars

I reached out to Ian about my roof because of some damage. He explained that he only provides inspection services and doesn't do repairs, which I actually didn't realize at first. Since I already knew the roof was damaged, I decided to go straight to repairs instead of scheduling an inspection. Even so, Daniel went out of his way to help me by referring me to someone who could fix the problem. I really appreciate his honesty, responsiveness, and willingness to assist even though I wasn't a paying customer. That tells me a lot about his character and professionalism. read more

He inspected the house as we asked He was very professional and gave us a detailed report read more

Ian is a great person to work with. He is very knowledgeable and trying hard to help! I highly recommend the company!

I had Christopher Durell, (goes by Ian) from Calview perform a private inspection for my newly built home in Sacramento (Natomas). I chose to go with Calview because they offered very affordable pricing, very knowledgeable, and responsive to all my questions. This was my first time buying a home and hiring an inspector so I really didn't know what to expect. Luckily, Ian answered all my questions and typically responded right away. Once I decided to go forward with Calview, Ian helped me communicate with the builder (Lennar) and provided all the information and documentation that Lennar requested. All I had to do was provide him the email contact and he worked his magic. Once we were all setup with the appointment, Ian provided me the portal/website information to pay for the service. The portal was very easy to access and easy to process the payment. On the day of the inspection, Ian resolved an issue that came up on his own. He was not able to access the house because the builder forgot to unlock it. He contacted them himself to get it unlocked. Once Ian completed his inspection, he provided me a detailed report of his inspection via the portal within a couple of hours. Inspection details include: Exterior, Roofing, Basement, Foundation, Crawlspace & Structure, Heating, Cooling, Plumbing, Electrical, Attic, Insulation & Ventilation, Doors, Windows & Interior, Built-in Appliances, Garage and more. Ian gave me a thorough report on every line mentioned above. He provided me with 3 recommendations of items that I should look into further that involved electrical and garage walls. I have my own walk through with the builder next week and have the details I need to bring up these issues thanks to Ian. Ian iterated how he would typically find many more issues for him to report, but I was lucky enough to have a solid new build. There are so many stressful things about buying a new home, but Ian and Calview helped make the inspection process very easy and stress free. I would definitely recommend Ian for all property inspection needs. read more
