I hired Perry Farnum of Farnum Inspection Service for a home inspection of my older home in San Jose, and I was very pleased with his work. Perry was very thorough and took his time inspecting the house. His report was detailed, well organized, and included clear explanations and photos of the issues he found. I especially appreciated that he identified and prioritized safety issues and areas that need further evaluation rather than simply pointing out cosmetic problems. The report gave me a much better understanding of the condition of my home and helped me determine which repairs I should address first. Perry was also helpful in answering my questions after the inspection and recommending that I get a termite/WDO inspection where appropriate. I would definitely recommend Perry to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, thorough, and professional home inspector in the San Jose area. read more

As a new first time home owner with a lot of questions, I couldn't have asked for a better inspection service! Perry was fantastically thorough, careful, knowledgeable, and generous with his time and expertise. He arrived at the agreed time, and did an initial walk-through of the property with us, noting and explaining issues and encouraging questions along the way. After that he did another methodical pass with a ladder and in the crawlspace, taking more notes and pictures. At the end he sat down with us to talk through new findings from the later pass and answered any other questions we had. And the detailed and well documented written report arrived just when he said it would the next day. I had high hopes for the service after glowing reviews from multiple friends, and they were still exceeded. It's great peace of mind knowing the state of the property in such detail! read more

I worked with Perry during my home inspection. Perry has a great sense of humor and is extremely knowledgeable in his field. He made sure to explain everything to me and I left with confidence knowing exactly what he pointed out and what needed to be fixed. If you need a home inspector Perry is your guy! read more

Perry is a total pro: knowledgeable, thorough, detailed -- all the good things. We learned a ton from him and really appreciate the extra time he took to explain everything we needed to know about the condition of our house from top to bottom. Hire Perry! read more

Perry is a first class experienced professional veteran home inspector. He is courteous, detailed, punctual, friendly, and modestly priced. He offers detailed explanations of the work he is doing and offers relevant insights to repair work that the may need to be done to correct any discrepancies. His communication is excellent. He provides completed detailed and graphically appealing reports on time. I would call Perry again for my next inspection need. read more

The experience of being a potential first time home owner is unlike anything you've experienced before. At times we felt lost or overwhelmed. One thing we were stressing over was, who do we trust to inspect our potential first home & how in the world do we know if they'll do a quality job as if they were inspecting their own future home? We were SO blessed our realtor (Eric Chu - Intero) had an inspector in mind - Perry from Farnum Inspection. Here's how the process went (so easy & painless): TWO DAYS BEFORE INSPECTION we paid the inspection cost online (super convenient)! In my opinion his service price was reasonable (not sure if I'm supposed to state the price here but let's say it's cheaper than a new 65" TV). DAY OF INSPECTION: 2-430PM: Perry performed inspection of potential home 430PM: We (buyers), sellers, & our realtor met at the home 430-5PM: Perry disclosed all his inspections & reccommendations to all 3 parties in a professional, respectful & comfortable manner (in my opinion very difficult to do) 5-515PM: Open communication between 3 parties NEXT DAY we received the inspection report! As someone who doesn't have much of a structural home background (me), the report was extremely HELPFUL & EASY to interpret. Report had: - Lots of images - Clear definitions & explanations - Layman's terms - Well organized, simple layout easy to follow We had such a great experience with Perry as an inspector & would recommend him to ANYONE buying a home around the area. Hopefully we can reach out to him in our future home adventures. read more

We needed an inspection for an upstairs, two bedroom condo. Honestly, I only requested the inspection as a CYA move as it is a rental and I want to do our due diligence. Perry arrived and I was there with him. I thought it would be a 30 minute session as it is only a two bedroom condo with not much to see. Boy did I learn a lot. Perry sat down and thoroughly went over all questions and shared insight on various things. We started the walk through and he immediately called attention to an improperly installed water heater (that had just been installed with a permit btw) and showed how it could be a fire hazard without a small change. Also, the drain pan did not have a drain line (upstairs condo) and he suggested a small water sensor, to avoid any damage should there be a leak in the future. He then said..."listen, do you hear that?". We stopped and listened. Yep, there was a very slight hum noise. Turns out the fan over the laundry was stuck but the switch was on and the motor was trying to turn the blade. Wow, Perry was good and gave a thorough list of things he found, broken out by "maybe fix whenever" to "get this fixed now as it is a fire risk". I will definitely use Farnum for all of our future inspections. read more

I had Perry come over to take a look at a house that was nearly 40 years old, and I'm so glad I went with farnum. It's no wonder why they have such high rating, they offer the most comprehensive information and the best prices. Perry was extremely detail oriented in his inspection and took the time to answer all questions. He also delivered an excellent fully detailed report with information on recommended upgrades, repairs and safety concerns. Would definitely recommend him to any homeowner. read more

I had Perry look at a house I am trying to buy and do the inspections. They were done in a timely and thorough way. Even my real estate buyer agent said he has not yet seen any other inspectors do such a great job. So, thanks a lot, Perry, for your quality work. The report you created was beneficial for me in understanding the state of the house. read more

I had good experience scheduling my house inspection recently with Farnum Inspection Service. Perry provided a thorough review and detailed inspection report. He answered follow-up questions very promptly as well. I would definitely recommend them! read more

I ended up not hiring Farnum Inspection Services (or any inspector), but Perry was kind enough to thoroughly review my case and write a highly detailed and educating response to my email, recommending some alternative services. He could have charged me a few hundred dollars, but didn't, and instead chose the route of honesty. Perry took the time to provide consultation to a random guy who's not paying him; I'm sure he'll care even more if hired. Thanks Perry! read more

Very prompt and great service. Reports are completed quickly and throughly. Prices are very reasonable and competitive to others in the area. I highly recommend! read more

This review for Perry Farnum is long overdue! As a Real Estate professional working with both Buyers and Sellers, having a thorough, knowledgeable, and consultative Home Inspector is of paramount importance. I first met Perry about 5 years ago, when my clients wrote an offer on a home that had been inspected by him. I had seen 5-7 other home inspection reports prepared by a variety of different companies, but Perry's stood out immediately. More on this later... Working in the hyper competitive Silicon Valley market, things tend to move quickly, and often times, the practice of a real estate transaction in our area is viewed as a bit different. As a listing agent working with Sellers, I always order and pay for all upfront inspections prior to listing. You want to ensure that the prospective buyers and their respective agents, trust the reports and information being delivered to them as they consider writing offers. I have actually had buyers and their agents, not worry about ordering their own home inspection when they see that my listing was inspected by Perry Farnum. He has developed a rapport in the industry that has proved to an asset to my clients and I many times over. When I am working with buyers, I have run across reports that are poorly written, broad, abstract and almost appear to be somewhat boiler plate. We have a fiduciary duty to ensure that our clients are comfortable and satisfied with the condition of the home they are purchasing, and anytime I have an opportunity, I encourage my clients to order an inspection from Perry. One transaction in particular comes to mind, when the Seller provided us with some very poorly written reports by an inspector that took care of home, termite AND roof inspections. Within 5 minutes of being on site, Perry revealed a horizontal foundation crack at the exterior of the home. We were able to negotiate a $6,000 credit for the repair! While I could on and on about why I as a Real Estate Professional enjoy working with Perry, here are come key reasons why any buyer or seller should hire him: 1. Detailed, thorough and easy to read inspection report. Plenty of clear pictures! 2. Available to answer your questions and will give a detailed briefing upon completion of the inspection with results of his findings. 3. Professional, courteous and punctual. 4. Usually a 24-Hour turnaround time on his reports. 5. A wealth of knowledge! Prior to COVID-19, I would actually hang out with Perry during the inspection for my listings, and I have personally learned so much just by talking with him. 6. He doesn't talk to you in a way where things go over your head. Thank you for everything, Perry! read more

Perry did an inspection for us after a full interior/exterior remodeling job. He was very professional and friendly; his report was detailed and thorough. We followed up on one his recommendation and were very happy with the result as well. We will definitely contact Perry and recommend in the future. read more

A huge thank you to Perry for providing stellar service and being extremely responsive and accommodating to our situation. As first time buyers of a new development, we were not planning on hiring a home inspector until we read horror stories online about why you should ALWAYS hire a home inspector regardless of the type of property you are purchasing. We were less than a week from closing so we frantically searched for a reliable home inspector who can accommodate last minute requests and generate reports ASAP. Perry's team responded immediately and we were able to schedule a 2nd day appointment. Although his prices are on the higher end, for us it was truly a case of "you get what you paid for." Perry was extremely patient, detail-oriented, professional, and answered all of our questions about home construction and home buying in general. He is a veteran in the business and definitely knows what he's talking about. We ran into a tricky situation during the initial inspection and had to reschedule, and Perry was very understanding and was super responsive via phone and text to work with us through this process. He was able to deliver our report in less than 12 hours, which was extremely impressive, and provide us with the information and confidence we need to wrap up our purchase. We cannot thank him enough. read more

Perry's report is designated to show the associated alert level for each comment/observation with an icon such as "Major Concern", "Repair Item", "Safety Issue" , "Upgrade Item", etc, so that at a glance, it is easy to see how many critical issues there are in the report, for example.  All the comments are numbered for easy reference if you need to discuss the report with a contractor, agent, or others with whom you are sharing the report. The report is organized by each system/component in the house, such as roof, electrical, plumbing, foundation.  Many of the comments, where relevant, are accompanied with photo(s) taken from your house for illustration.  Occasionally, Perry adds an active link to the observation comment in the report to provide additional information from online resources, and those are helpful.   The report is written with simple to understand language and description.  For some items, Perry includes a definition of the term/part mentioned in the observation, and/or inserts a diagram (for example, he added a diagram of the water heater showing the various parts so it is easy to understand the references he makes to the parts of the water heater in his comments, for those of us not familiar with the anatomy of a water heater like myself).  Even with someone of my very limited knowledge level of the various home components,  I was able to understand the majority of the report.  For a few comments/findings in the report, I did have to read them a few times and look up terminology on the internet, but again this is due to my general lack of knowledge related to various components that make up a house.  With comments that I was still not able to fully understand, that's where Perry's patience and helpfulness came in!  He took the time to go over questions I had over the phone or email.  He was very professional and courteous (and I did not feel like I was asking "dumb" questions), which I truly appreciate! For an impartial professional home inspection, I'd highly recommend Perry, and would definitely ask for his help again if a friend or I need a home inspection in the future! read more

Farnum Inspection Service - Home Inspectors Near Me - Cupertino, California

If you'd like the most comprehensive home inspection possible, then you should hire Perry. With his service, the inspection report itself is already very detailed and thorough. However, what elevates Perry apart, is his consultation with you afterward. You can count on his experience as a former contractor and almost sleuth like nature to identify problems and for you to be armed with knowledge to address the issues. I hired Perry to perform a home inspection because I'd rebuild my house. Even though I had issues with contractors (needed two to complete), between the multiple structural engineer visits and city inspections, I really just expected him to find missing caulking, bad outlets, or some such items. Was I wrong! What Perry had found paid for itself many times over. If you want to know the details, read on. Otherwise, just hire him. Details: 1. Perry found a plumbing leak that seeped through sub-floor insulation but only after faucets were turned on. This can only be detected if he tested the faucets first and then inspected the crawl space. From this alone, his service already paid for itself. 2. Perry found an orphaned pier that he flagged as a potential issue. Perry wouldn't know how my house should be built, so whether this is an extra pier that was poured vs structural support is something I needed to verify with my structural engineer. After another structural visit, it turns out that this pier should have supported the roof. How did the structural engineer and city inspectors missed that before? Fortunately, this was caught before I moved in and the repairs were done immediately. 3. Perry found the roofing shingles were improperly installed over vents and the flashing was loose. The roofing sub had payments issues with my first GC. When my second GC contacted the sub, I didn't have my hopes up. It was amazing that this sub showed up and performed the repair exactly per Perry's report. When a sub that had little incentive to do so does that, it speaks volumes. 4. Many subs that worked on my house often had the circuits tripped and couldn't reset it. My GC insisted they didn't know what they were doing (which I never believed) and blamed it on the sensitivity of AFCI circuits inside. Before Perry did the inspection, I had asked him to paid particular attention to this issue. In our follow-up, Perry hunted down this problem like a detective and told me what he believed is going on. Armed with this knowledge, I confronted my GC. My GC denies it as a problem and claims Perry didn't know what he's talking about. I already knew this would happen so I persisted. After the GC made the fix as I had instructed him from Perry's recommendation, this problem went away. After all of this had happened, my GC told me: "This inspector you hired is good. He saved you a lot of money". I think that speaks for itself and is the highest compliment possible. read more

My wife and I had to get a new home inspection since our 1 year warranty was coming up-- one of my neighbors had just gotten his done and recommended Farnum. I looked him up on Yelp and saw the great reviews so I decided to give contact Perry through the yelp messaging system. He responded quickly and we were able to schedule an appointment with him. Perry arrived on time and got to work immediately. After that, he then sat down with me for a little more than an hour and explained all of his findings and answered all of my questions. Perry is a very nice and courteous guy-- I would highly recommend. I'm actually selling an investment property and will be hiring him to do my inspection again. read more

Perry was incredibly helpful with his inspection of a new home my wife and I were buying. Not only was he extremely thorough in his report, but more than a week later, he went out of his way to talk me through the details of his findings, and give advice on how best to fix the identified issues over the course of an entire hour and a half phone call, patiently answering every question I could come up with, and then letting me know what else I should have asked him. Top notch service, by any standard. read more

It was nearly a year since we moved into our new home and our warranty period was nearing the end. Although we had an initial round of repairs done based on our own limited visual inspections, my wife and I felt we would benefit from a professional to: 1) tell us things that we needed to get resolved before the warranty period ran out - things we were not qualified to identify, 2) ensure that there were no glaring issues in our home. A quick search on Yelp suggested Perry Farnum. The appointment process was easy and Perry was actually able to do the job for cheaper than what we were originally quoted. No compromises on the service, though! Perry inspected every single component of the house, painstakingly, and took three hours to do so. He was very courteous about being as thorough as possible, while also not being obtrusive (we had an 11-month-old in the thick of his nap time when he came). Perry's report arrived in a timely manner and was comprehensive. Perry was thoroughly professional, kind and considerate throughout the process. Highly recommend for all kinds of homeowners who need their house inspected. read more

The BEST! Highly recommended! I recently just bought a home & the inspection report that was given to me by the realtor was missing a lot because the previous owner's stuff was still in the home so I decided to get another. I called for an estimate & Paula who answered was very polite & informative. I said I usually worked on the weekdays & could only do the weekends, Paula said the inspector usually does not work weekends but would ask to check & quickly informed me that the inspector would accommodate me which was very nice of them to do. Perry was the inspector & he came right on time. Perry was very friendly, polite & very knowledgeable. Perry explained a lot while he was doing the inspection & gave me a lot of information on what I could do to fix certain things on my own or if I should get professional help. He had so much knowledge Perry could have his own TV show! Perry was very thorough with his inspection & it took around 3 hours to complete. The price was very reasonable & I received the reports in about 2 days which I didn't mind because it was the weekend. His report as very detailed & my own realtor even complimented how detailed it was. Perry said I could call him anytime if I had any general questions about anything or if I needed any referrals. Overall, a great experience & very satisfied with everything! Thank you Perry & Paula, keep up the great work! read more

I went onto Yelp to search for home inspectors as a seller of of a property. Mr. Farnum responded to my request for a quote on August 3rd and asked a number of questions about the property (square footage, additional buildings on site, how many stories, etc.) and for which I answered all of them. Then, he provides me with a written quote on August 3rd through the Yelp system and tells me to call his office to schedule the appointment. So I call the office and am told that the cost will be $990. I tell the person (Brandy) that Mr. Farnum has already provided me with a written quote for $945 so she says that she will call him on the phone (while I waited). I'm actually looking at the quote as I am typing this. After she speaks to Mr. Farnum, she says that the price is $990 and wants to book an appointment to which I kindly declined. Seems a bit like the classic "bait and switch". I don't really mind paying extra for someone I trust and who will do a good job (everyone I spoke to prior to getting the quote said that Farnum Inspections is the highest on the street), but the way they do business, at least with me, is completely unacceptable. read more

Perry came over to have our home inspected. We had an original home inspection report from one of the box store companies "Home guard" done by our sellers. We decided to get our own home inspection. Perry is very detail oriented, and explained every thing to us as he was inspecting the house. His report is very thorough, and he caught a lot of things not mentioned in our original report. It was great working with him, as we knew exactly how to tackle the problem and knew the scope of the project, thanks to Perry explaining it to us every step of the way. I feel so much more confident and satisfied in our home, now that we have taken care of most of the things Perry pointed out. I would recommend him for your home inspection, if you want to have peace of mind! read more

I contacted Perry as a homebuyer with general questions about lead/asbestos/mold etc, and I can't say enough about how knowledgeable he is. He spent an unlimited amount of time answering my questions, and I am moving forward with so much more confidence as a result of his thorough explanations. Definitely trust his expertise. Thanks again Perry. read more

Perry Farnum deserves way more than the five stars I am giving him. My house is pretty old I've been seeing some issues that requires a professional to investigate and tell me what kind of repairs I may have to look forward to. Perry inspected everything from the roof down to the crawlspace and everything in between. I loved how detail-oriented he was and the way he explained his findings was simple and easy to understand. He also pointed out safety issues that I never realized (e.g. ceiling fan blades that are a little too low and cement roof shingles that weren't properly fastened). My report was very comprehensive; each issue was numbered and some of the major ones had great photos. With his report, I definitely feel better about the state of my house and I now have a solid plan for addressing the issues I was worried about. I highly recommend him for your home inspection needs. read more

The guy came out and did his job with a smile. No complaints or problems in doing the inspection. Easy and complete as expected. I did notice show findings under the home that was not mentioned by seller. read more

Home inspectors are meant to be generalists. Perry's broad knowledge base, experience as not only a home inspector but also a contractor, puts him outside of the box of just any home inspector. When one can build a home from ground up, one invariably has a deeper knowledge base and notices more details when it comes to inspecting a home for items as simple as routine maintainence or something more serious. He did a great job with the home I just purchased - and pointed out specific items that needed to be fixed and/or watched. Right away, we found safety issues that we asked the seller to fix. On a personal note, Perry was very detail oriented, prompt, and patient. His closing notes were clear and organized with comments and photos for reference. I asked him for tips on remodeling, and he gave very helpful feedback. I would feel comfortable recommending Perry to anybody, and wouldn't hesitate hiring him again for my next home! Highly recommended. read more

When my husband & I put an offer in on our first home, we thouroughly researched everything. I work in the Architectural & Construction business and I selected Perry because he was a general contractor for many years. If he can build from the ground up, he can more easily identify problems in the condo. When we emailed him he replied very quickly with concise, detailed answers that were upfront and clear. We asked him to not only look at the condo but also the main water, gas and electrical system for the condo building. He was happy to go the extra mile and add this to the report. Perry was on-time and provided me with many extra tips on how to easily fix small items and answered my numerous questions to my satisfaction. Our timeframe was extremely short as Perry was very booked up but he came at the end of a long day to accommodate us with our inspection. We were thrilled that by 9:00am the NEXT morning he had our report ready for us so we could meet our deadlines. The report was easy to read and clear. He didn't pad the report with unnecessary legal indemnifications. In addition, he has been very helpful with advice, or how to get repairs or small items done. We were very happy that we were able to get Perry as our inspector and heartily recommend him to anyone. One word of advice though: get on his calendar as soon as you can because he's very busy! Thanks again Perry! read more

I normally don't write reviews from any services that I use like restaurants, auto shops etc as this could be subjective to each one of us. But what I can say if you do need a house inspection...I mean not just regular house inspection I'm talking about a thorough inspection I definitely would recommend Perry. I barely go on Yelp for services, usually word of mouth/straight recommendations by friends that used services from that certain company. I'm in the end of my house addition project and I been finding little cosmetic issues here and there until I started noticing "little things" becoming something moderate that I have to research to understand, I do work in medical field with no construction back ground maybe a little DIY here and there and watching youtube and follow a few home improvements on IG. So i decided to call a professional vs me gambling my $$ on an investment were me and wife put some of our savings. Initially I thought home inspections are only ideal if you purchased and sell a home so I started googling and there were like a good page full of companies popped up. So I narrowed my search to Yelp bad reviews (why would you read the good side of them right?), credentials/licensing most of all experience. I mean anybody can have a phd for something or some type of licensing then take a test and viola! My point is you cannot buy experience and Perry has it all so I gave his company a call at 534pm Friday as I needed something by the following week so I can finalize what my eyes couldn't see and tell my contractor what other things needs to done as he is in somewhat in a rush now since my contractor is busy with other projects and maybe less one person to bug him about redos. So inquired for a qoute and I forgot the secretaries name that answered but she was very polite and understanding, after giving my address she paused and said I can give you a qoute but your location is actually not within the normal places that Perry goes then she said let me call you back I just have to double check...at this time in my mind I'm thinking it will be no go and I just have to keep on looking since it was like 610pm already which Farnum closes by 6pm...after a few mins my phone rang and she said Perry wouldn't mind going to my area by coastside in the peninsula by this time I told her send me the informations by email (qoute and scope) and I will discuss it with my wife and I will call back the following day if we decide. So my wife found 2 other companies with similar reviews and a lot of 5 stars now I'm torn because seems all of them are good then I started looking at experiences, again this are the things that are not thought in school you have to earn it by putting time, I'm not saying new companies suck it's just my preference...I mean would you get a cardiac procedure on a new grad doc or would you choose an experienced Doctor? So I booked it Saturday morning signed the agreement and luckily he has an opening Monday. Perry came on time and introduced himself handed me a business card (who does that now a days ) and chat about what my expectations and he explained in details what the scope will be...so I thought this was like a home inspection that I've experience in the past when we purchased this house years back that probably will take 30-40 mins but no this guy took his time I say almost 4hrs. From roof to crawl space and explaining what he is checking, what it's supposed to be and what's expected. At the end of the job he said to wait 24-48hrs for the report...I checked my email at 945pm and my 40 +pages of detailed report that now I can confidently hand to my contractor to fix. I couldn't imagine if I didn't hire Perry and just depended on the counties inspector I will probably signing the release this week which would be bad news because there are a few safety hazard that Perry caught that the county didn't....again don't cheap out on your investment for me it's worth the money paying him and letting him do what he does best. just think of it like buying your peace of mind and the safety of your family. I promise you, you won't regret it read more

Perry was recommended by our real estate agent, and we couldn't have been happier with him. It was reassuring to work with someone so personable and experienced. He's incredibly knowledgable, detailed, and takes the time to explain things in laymen's terms. His reports do an excellent job prioritizing issues that need to be addressed. Also of note, Perry was prompt to our appointments and had the report to us within 24 hours. We would definitely work with him again and recommend him to others. read more

Perry did a wonderful job of home inspection for our newly purchased 50-year old house. He arrived on time, did a very thorough inspection. He also spent time and explain to us the potential problems in a very professional way. The report arrives fast after two days , and all problems are itemized and analyzed in a very systematic way. We will definitely hire him again in future real estate purchase, and recommends to our friends! read more

This was a great inspection experience! Perry did an inspection on my new construction since I was close to a 1 year post-close warranty period. He was obviously very knowledgeable about all the things that go into a home and was able to point out many small details that I never would have caught on my own. The post-inspection write up is filled with great details which gives the owner a very thorough reference manual. Perry was able to thoroughly answer a lot of questions during the visit and provided a great peace of mind to something as big as a house purchase. Would definitely recommend this service to anyone. read more

We found Perry on Yelp and considered his services based on all 5 stars reviews, we just think it is truly deserved 5 stars and we are adding one more. We are a first time home buyers so we had quiet a lot of questions but Perry didn't save time on answering and explaining everything (sometimes, when you are totally new to this business, you don't even know what to ask so Perry will explain why he is doing this and that and what he is looking for) Our realtor from Redfin had dedicated 3.5 hours for this inspection but it took well beyond that. The electrician who we gave the report to get an estimate admitted how thorough our inspector was, he told he haven't seen many of such a detailed reports. And the nice part - we were able to negotiate our price down based on this report ;) winking Thank you, Perry, you are awesome! PS inspection was done on 49 year old house in Sunnyvale read more

Perry does an incredibly exhaustive and thorough job, plus he takes the time to go over each item in detail with you. Highly recommend! Oh yea, he's an all-around nice guy too. read more

Perry explained to me various aspects of my house. His report is so detail. It is my reference for getting the issues getting fixed. I surely recommend his service. read more

My experience with Perry was wonderful. With everything involved with a move, I was so grateful to be able to get the services of someone who is extremely professional, knowledgeable, informative, and understanding of my concerns. He answered all my questions during the inspection and his report is detailed-oriented, organized, helpful, and was delivered quickly. I highly recommend him! read more

If you are thinking about home inspection, look no further, Perry is your guy. I was not sure about doing home inspection since I was getting new built home but I am very glad I decided to do home inspection. I was buying home for the first time and Perry was very patient and he thoroughly explained everything. Report he provided is very well documented. I am very satisfied by service he provided. I definitely recommend Perry to anyone who is buying home. read more

Perry is very knowledgable and is fantastic at what he does. We, as first home buyers, were cautious about several issues in the home but Perry took time to walk us through the entire home, explained in detail what the issues were and what/how much it would take to fix them. I think knowing we were first home buyers, he took extra effort to make sure our fears were alleviated. Even though it was a Sunday, he understood the situation we were in and promptly sent us the complete report within an hour ! We couldn't recommend him highly enough. - Aishu and Harsha. read more

Based largely on Yelp reviews, I reached out to Perry to do a home inspection on my in-law's home, which we were moving into and which hadn't been updated much throughout the years. Perry was very friendly and easy to talk with - he encouraged me to accompany him throughout the inspection (where it was safe to do so), and shared his process and what he was looking for. His pricing was fair, and the final cost matched the quote provided. The report provided was extraordinarily thorough - so much so that I have not yet gotten through it all several months later. The report is laid out in such a way that is easy to identify what needs attention and why. Overall, it was an excellent experience and I would happily recommend Perry to family and friends. I have not yet had any follow up questions, but I would feel comfortable reaching out to him for additional information. read more

Perry is very experienced and knowledgeable of building codes. He is also extremely detailed oriented and patient. Not only he identified various issues with my new construction home, which were overlooked by previous home inspectors I hired a year ago, he also went extra miles and spent sometime reviewing my architectural design plan and explained the issues to me. Perry made a commitment of providing the report within 24 hours. The report came in timely and in great format, very easy to read and understand. I highly recommend Perry without any reservation. read more
