Sven is simply the greatest home inspector that you can possibly hire. As first time home buyers,…read morewe had a decent idea of the home we wanted to purchase. Most home buyers spend maybe 30 minutes to an hour maybe 1.5 hours at a property. Sven invested four hours of his time at the property and found over 148 issues with a property that we thought was close to turnkey. He also offered a discount with our next inspection. It is hard to overstate how professional he is and how much he cares about his craft. You would be incredible lucky to work with Sven and his team. They are honest, thorough and will teach you so much about home inspection even if you've been through the process several times. It's important to know that there's a range in price for home inspectors, but you are indeed buying a home. Sven's prices are extraordinarily fair for what he offers. If it wasn't for his inspection effort on the home, we may have made a poor choice for our first home. RUN to work with Sven if you are in the home-buying process!

That kind of passion along with expertise is truly infectious - those four hours felt like they flew by. Would recommend their services without a single doubt in my mind! Thank you again

He was especially helpful regarding some issues with the exterior of the home which I had not noticed myself. Ultimately, primarily for reasons outside of the ones that came up in inspection, we decided not to buy the home, and True View was able to give us partial refunds for the radon and lead tests we ordered as we would not be needing them. We will definitely be contacting Bill again for the next home we need to inspect, and I'll go in with a better eye for some of the things to look out for during our search.

I'm very satisfied and consider this service very good value for the money…read more Ray performed a thorough inspection of my 100+ yr old house and provided a very detailed report on the various issues that exist, complete with close up detailed pictures of areas I need to review. He was friendly, courteous and provided quick turnaround of the report. I was particularly impressed with the use of the drone camera, Ray flew it around and performed a detailed inspection of the roof. He discovered a problem with the chimney cap that had been professionally installed a few weeks beforehand. He provided pictures that I forwarded to the chimney co and they came out the next day to resolve. Had this not been fixed it's likely the cap would eventually get blown off the chimney and cause damage, so I'm pretty happy to have averted a potential disaster.

We learned later that stepping over and around the pump like this can skew the results and create artificially high airborne results.

Guys who work/run this company are great. You want 4 things from a home inspector and these guys…read morehave them all, in flying colors: 1) Honesty 2) Knowledge 3) Competence 4) Fair Pricing I just had the worst almost home purchase ever. Almost every person involved was shady and underhanded, which is why Iucked out by having Chuck and Todd on my side. Todd did a great and thorough job inspecting the home. Because of the hoarder's clutter in the home, a dishonest seller and resentful tenants that would barely let us in, he wasn't able to inspect some aspects of the home, and Chuck volunteered to come back before closing if there was access and inspect the areas/things that were blocked on the original inspection (at no-charge). These are the most straightforward, on the level guys. Reasonable and on your side. The deal ended up going south, and the seller's agent/new buyers tried to pressure Chuck into giving them the inspection report and he immediately called to tell me, I would've never known, but he is so honest and legit--- he's that guy. This entire experience has been extraordinarily disheartening and if it wasn't for the great guys at above grade I would have 1) been doubly screwed over, and 2) lost all faith in humanity. Also, the phone support they provided me and going through the inspection report and talking through the process was beyond expectations. They are seriously great, we are still looking and without a doubt I'm going to be hiring them to inspect the next place.

Chuck walked us through the entire process and explained what he was looking for throughout his inspection. He schooled us in every room giving us the knowledge of what to look for in our search for a new home. During the inspection Chuck pointed out many things that could be worrisome in the future and eventually found something that was extreme enough to be a deal breaker. He explained to us how extensive a fix each issue would be so we can then decide if the issue was worth it to resolve. At the end of the day he saved us a huge headache and most likely thousands of dollars on issues that would eventually turn what we thought was a dream home into a money pit. Thanks for schooling us Chuck. We will definitely be reaching out to you again when we think we've found our dream home.

Box 944255 Sacramento, CA 94244-2550 RE: Formal Complaint - Alleged Consumer Fraud by Optima Home Protection Dear Attorney General Rob Bonta, I am writing to formally report what I believe to be a case of consumer fraud and deceptive business practices by a California-based company named: Optima Home Protection Website: https://optimahomeprotection.com Phone: 1-800-332-7178 Email: help@optimahomeprotection.com Marketing Slogan: "Your partner in real eviction defense. We fight for you. We protect your home." On or around JUNE 26, 2025, I paid $3,790.00 to Optima Home Protection after speaking with a representative who identified himself as Paul Harmon. He claimed that the company would provide: 1. Full legal representation for two small claims lawsuits I filed in Cook County, Illinois, against my former landlord; and 2. Legal defense for any potential eviction proceedings that might be initiated by the landlord. However, on July 28, 2025, I had a scheduled Zoom court hearing at 1:30 PM at the Maywood Courthouse (Cook County, IL), Courtroom 0112, for my case: Alfred Arroyo v. Dennis Adams, Case No. 2025SC045644. No one from Optima Home Protection appeared or made contact with the court. Their absence placed my legal claims at risk and caused me considerable stress and harm. Since then, I have made numerous attempts to reach them via phone and email. Despite my calls and messages, I have received no response. I believe I have been misled and defrauded by this company, and I am concerned that they are engaging in systematic deception of vulnerable tenants nationwide. Do not hire these people or you will regret it. 1895.00 for each case i had 3. They didn't show up to two different cases and never called or picks up phone.
