Working with Gene made this inspection a breeze. He went through everything with fine details. He also recommended an engineer to help us and he was extremely informative. I strongly recommend Gene to handle any commercial inspection. read more

I recently attended a commercial building inspection with Gene and his son who flew a drone to be able to see and take pictures of hard to reach exterior locations.  The experience was very educational and has caused me to be very observant when I go in and out of commercial buildings.  There is a lot to be aware of.  I learned all about ADA (American Disability Act).  This is a very important part of a commercial building inspection and compliance upgrades are something everyone buying a commercial building should be aware of. read more

I am a graduate of UCLA in civil engineering and a Licensed civil engineer and commercial project manager and have worked with Gene on a number of commercial building projects. Including retail and mixed use retail / residential, offices, medical buildings, gyms, etc. He is very knowledgeable and experienced. He has extensive building codes knowledge including the American Disability Act. He conducts himself within fair and highly ethical standards. I highly recommend him. read more

My business partners and I hired Gene of CapCity Building Inspection to inspect a commercial building for us in West Sacramento prior to purchase.  Good thing we did.  He pointed out lots of stuff we would never had thought about.  Also he included in his inspection major ADA items that were going to be expensive to install in order to bring facility into compliance.  The information he gave us made it possible for us to get a better purchase price saving us many thousands of dollars.  Gene has many years of experience in commercial construction and we highly recommend him. read more

Gene is very professional and timely. As a business owner, I appreciate timely, thorough work and that is just what he delivers. His quotes were detailed and affordable. He is not only the best price, but the most knowledgeable for inspections. I will be using him again for future projects, both commercial and residential. I also appreciate that he knows the area well! read more

Mark inspected my home prior to closing on it. He was very professional and thorough. His report was easy to read, but he was very helpful if there is something you need more explanation on. I would highly recommend him to anyone needing a home inspection. Shannon Salamone read more

As a first time home-buyer, I had no idea what to expect when getting a home inspection. To my amazement, this was one of the most fun and educational experiences I have had. Gene showed up for the home inspection on time and greeted my family and I; explaining what he planned on doing that day, that he works for the buyer and will bring anything to our attention that needs to be fixed in the report. Furthermore, he took my fiancé around the house and showed him how he can check the air filters and other miscellaneous tasks we had no idea how to do prior to this inspection. Gene really knows his stuff and made some great recommendations including getting a roof certification valid for 2-3 years and warranties on the appliances the seller had put in the home. His assistant he brought along was absolutely a kick in the pants. Very knowledgeable and complimentary of our home, in addition to being hilarious. Gene finished our report in less than 36 hours and shot it off to our broker, helping us keep ahead of schedule with all the tight time frames involved in purchasing a home. The time Gene took to teach us tips and tricks really helped my fiancé and I bond with our home. I highly recommend him to any seasoned or first time home-buyers. read more

My husband and I have purchased two homes in CA and we used Gene on both occasions. My husband found him and liked his background. Also, my husband is a structural engineer and he was particularly impressed with Gene's knowledge and attention to detail. The inspections were thorough and sent to us very quickly. I love that he emails the packet and it isn't some giant paper packet. I did not deal with him personally, but my husband was adamant that we hire him again when we decided to purchase a home in West Sacramento. Again, he was thorough and quick to deliver the necessary documents. In this particular situation, we have been dealing with selling our old home. The buyers have a terrible inspector. I looked at our old inspection on the property we are selling. The contrast between their inspection and our old inspection really illustrated the quality of Gene's work. Their inspector focused on some really silly items, a pretty obvious attempt to get a commission from the repairs. Additionally, their inspector was not well organized or particularly detailed. It was vague and general at best. Gene's reports were so detailed we only had to reference the page number when we requested repairs from the seller. We would not hesitate to use his services again and would recommend him to anyone. read more

Gene inspected the house we were in contract to purchase. His level of knowledge of the construction field is deep and he is quick to share what is normal as part of construction and what may lead to problems if not handled as part of routine home owner maintenance. The bonus for us, our roof was really pretty inaccessible and Gene has a drone to fly and give us a view or our rooftop - we didn't expect that at all and were so happy to have the vantage point. Gene cares deeply for people and looking out for them that they have all the information needed for them to make the best decision possible. If 10 stars were available, he'd get that. read more

Gene came out and inspected my home because my roof was leaking, and I didn't know where it was coming from. He was punctual n' fast figuring out where the problems were coming from, and he offered me a few recommendations for fixing them. He's really knowledgeable... I recommend him if you're having probs with your home and need it checked out/fixed... read more

Thank you, Gene for the quality service you provided. I learned so much from you and you truly educated me with maintaining my place safe and functional. I just moved to Sacramento and I'm so glad my place is just where it needs to be. read more

Gene is great. Very friendly, brought things up and explained every detail. He not only did a very thorough inspection of the house, he also shared some tips for maintaining stuff day-to-day in the future. read more

Bought a house in Feb 2018 and found this building inspector on Yelp. No bank was involved in the sale so I had to find my own inspector. This guy was super professional and knowledgeable. Wouldn't hesitate to hire him again. Seemed to have a lot of experience and was a real pro. Everything went fine and can wholeheartedly recommend his services. read more

My parents were very satisfied with the home inspection performed by Gene. He was prompt, thorough, and pleasant to work with.

Gene was great. Found him from his website and was impressed with his background. Gene let me follow him around the house and pointed out everything, both important and not so important (but good ideas). He was on time, his report was complete with pictures, and he was one of the cheapest I got quotes for. Afterward he was very responsive to questions and discussed the findings of other reports with me (sewer, roof, pest, etc.). Would definitely use him again, and have referred him to friends that were very pleased. read more

Gene has been one of the best home inspectors I've worked with! He has inspected my personal home purchase. He's very thorough, explained everything he noted. Not only very honest, but exceeded my expectations of pointing things out that can be taken care of to avoid issues in the home later. Detailed report, lots of pictures. read more

We are buying a house from a family member and we wanted a second opinion on the status of the house. He was able to walk us through some of the things that we should keep an eye out for. He also pointed out a number of things that we didn't notice. Since this was a related party purchase his opinion was highly valued. Thank you read more

Gene, I have reviewed two other reports for this property that were done prior to my involvement. Your report is professionally done, laid out clearly in a progressive fashion I can understand. The main difference though is the content of your comments. They reflect a complete understanding of what you are looking at and reporting. I see, by your report there a situation with the condenser/remote coil on the HVAC that needs to be attended to before we start using it and the are repairs to the exterior that I missed in my personal assessment. Thank you for your expert work. Thank you for presenting the report in a way I can easily understand. It gives me a way to prioritize my efforts in maintaining the building. Mike read more

Gene was very thorough, timely, and helpful from beginning to end. As a first time home buyer he led me through his inspection and explained each and every item he was noting. His report contained pictures, notes, and recommendations for repair and came within 1 business day. Gene has a ton of experience in the industry and is a skilled communicator. I plan on working with Gene again on my next property. read more

I had a building inspection on a house that I was interested in, done by CapCity Building Inspection, and the report was very thorough and helpful. Their rates are very reasonable. The guy that did my home inspection was named Gene, and I was impressed with his background and experience in the construction industry. His report pointed out all the issues with the house that I would likely need to address at some point and that gave me some negotiating power with the seller. (well it's bank owned. so I guess the bank.) I hope I get the house. read more

I used CapCity inspection for my home purchase in Land Park after doing a lot of research on home inspectors. Gene has a very broad and extensive construction background that I felt was important for a complete and accurate inspection. That is exactly what I got. The inspection report Gene gave me was very thorough, detailed and easy to understand using multiple photos with descriptions. I was able to use the report to negotiate many of the repairs to be paid by the seller. I was out of state for the inspection and Gene was very patient and concerned with the particular questions I had. His unbiased opinion of the house gave me a good understanding of it's current condition. He prides himself on working for you, the buyer. I highly recommend CapCity inspection and will use Gene in the future. read more

In September of 2010, I neede to have my house inspected and heard about CapCity Building Inspection from a friend. I called and set up an appointment. Gene, the owner, was on time and was very through in his inspectin of my home. He created a report that I sued to make necessary repairs and to increase the value of my home. Gene is very professional and I would recommend CapCity Building Inspection based on his detailed orientated report and his great attitude. read more
