As both a real estate agent and a certified appraiser, I can confidently say that Greg White is the…read morebest inspector I've ever worked with. His attention to detail is unmatched -- Greg doesn't gloss over anything. He looks at every component, big and small, and explains his findings in a way that's clear, calm, and incredibly helpful for buyers. Greg's communication is excellent from start to finish. He's punctual, professional, easy to schedule with, and always willing to answer questions thoroughly. What really sets him apart is how he educates clients without alarming them -- he gives the facts, explains the implications, and offers practical guidance on next steps. His calm, patient, and reassuring demeanor immediately puts buyers at ease, even during stressful inspections. Greg is consistently exceptional. Every single inspection reflects the same high level of thoroughness, professionalism, and care. He truly protects our clients by helping them understand the real condition of the home and by catching things that others might miss. His reports are extremely detailed, organized, and easy to understand, with photos, explanations, and recommendations that make decision-making simple for clients. Time after time, Greg proves that he not only knows exactly what he's doing, but that he genuinely cares about helping people make informed, confident choices. Greg is always our first call when we need an inspection, and he's the inspector we personally plan to use when we buy our next home -- that's how much we trust his work. If you want an inspector who is knowledgeable, trustworthy, meticulous, and an absolute pro, Greg White at Cal Certified Inspections should be your first call. We recommend him wholeheartedly.

"Multiple Layers" of Deception and Unprofessionalism…read more.. In my correspondence with Gene K., a representative of Scope Environmental (cut and pasted from Yelp chat room) mentions "We can definitely help. Our asbestos inspection, survey, and lab results pricing is very competitive. It's $625 for the inspection and report. Each sample is $35. No other fees. Generally, results and reports will be available within 24-48 hours". Gene K. also mentioned the following "Some samples have multiple layers, and that can not be determined prior to taking the physical sample. You are welcome to call in so that you can properly comprehend the procedures". However, UNDISCLOSED FEES can creep into the price charged to the customer, e.g. such as the need to test "multiple layers" of one material; so, "No other fees" is (deliberately) misleading and therefore, deceptive. A field inspector (Daisy Flamenco) of Scope Environmental, arrived at the project site and upon seeing the area that needed sampling, asked the homeowner for a ladder to get her modest stature to the sampling material areas. When sampling the ceiling, Ms. Flamenco was barely able to reach the sampling surface (needed to be on her tippy toes), even with a step ladder (provided by the homeowner). ALL sample takers must come fully prepared for all conditions at the work site and not rely on the homeowner to provide tools, equipment or assistance of any kind to do THEIR job! Ms. Flamenco was dressed casually, no respirator or other appropriate protective equipment or gear, which is not only hazardous to herself, but sends the message to the homeowner (overseeing the work), that asbestos is really not that harmful. Even two and a half years following the end of the COVID-19 pandemic, it is appropriate if all workers who enter a home, to wear a mask or at least offer to wear one, but Ms. Flamenco failed to show the occupants of the residence, such consideration. Most (professional) people return to bad pre-pandemic habits, even if to protect the home's occupants from the common cold. What is really inconsiderate and unprofessional, is that Ms. Flamenco had disturbed suspected asbestos containing materials by scraping and cutting away material from parts of a furnace and its ducts, leaving the furnace and ducts out-of-order, i.e. if no asbestos or other harmful materials were found, the furnace and ducts could not be safely and effectively used without first repairing them. Leaving carcinogenic materials exposed (cutting, scraping or otherwise removing and exposing asbestos) to those who live at the work site, is hazardous and unprofessional and should never be done this way. Exposing harmful materials puts people and animals at risk of exposure to carcinogens and asbestosis causing particles! Asbestos sample takers should take measures to seal or otherwise cover, exposed asbestos containing materials (when they are through sampling them), to protect home occupants. This experience was a wake-up call to how incompetent workers can make a bad situation, worse!

After my plumber discovered extensive sewage leakage beneath my house, we needed immediate cleanup…read morebefore any repair work could begin. We contacted Scope Environmental because they specialize in a wide range of services, including sewage and mold remediation. Veronika was courteous, highly responsive, and scheduled a team to come out the same day. Peter and his crew were professional, efficient, and thorough. They quickly extracted the standing water, debris, and sewage, then applied absorbent materials to the wet areas to remove moisture. They also installed heaters and drying equipment to prevent further damage. I appreciated that they returned over the following days to monitor progress and ensure everything was drying properly. Their support during such a stressful situation made a world of difference. I highly recommend this reliable, family-owned company for anyone needing this kind of emergency cleanup services.

As others have commented, Bruce @ Sunset Home Inspection is a fantastic home inspector and I have…read morerecommended him to others and also have personally used him countless times over the years for many property inspections. Bruce is very thorough, extremely knowledgeable, and best of all he is willing to take the time to review and explain any of his findings to clients, so that they have a clear understanding of what they are purchasing/selling. Bruce is reasonably priced...he may not be the cheapest (but why would you want to cheap out on a home inspection when you're making one of the biggest purchase of your life), however, he is definitely not the most expensive. He also provides a very quick turn-around in getting his reports out.

I was looking for a fast turnaround on mold testing after a tenant complaint, so l sent out the Yelp bat signal with the option to contact multiple vendors at once. Robert and Bye Bye Mold was one of the first company to come back to me with immediate info, an appointment, and plenty of information on pricing and a scope of work. Robert was flexible, easy to contact and communicate with, and he messaged me well after and before business hours. Basically he responded immediately no matter what time. He went above and beyond, so he will definitely be my first call the next time l need mold testing. The only reason I didn't end up hiring him was because a previous vendor was able to accommodate an earlier appointment time, and Robert graciously understood and told me to feel free to call him if I needed anything else. Thank you, thank you and thank you.

He was very transparent with his pricing and there were no hidden fees which was nice. He did not pressure for more sample than what was needed. He even offered sound advice on which type of test is preferred for certain areas (swab vs air).

The interpretation report clearly explained the findings -- including the detection of Stachybotrys (toxic mold) in the master bathroom -- and outlined exactly what remediation steps were needed. Highly recommend if you want honest, science-backed results and not just a guessing game. We will be using Michael's services again if needed.
