I never thought about using a home inspector. I had the pest report, I can look around and see how things look .. why an inspector.. well I have to tell you.. I am so glad that I called Halcyon. They found things that the pest didn't and things I wouldn't have looked for, more importantly, they found the root of many of the pest report items and had pictures, descriptions and the answer to what needed to be done to correct those issues; so that I had a solid understanding of the scope of work required and as a result (after a few phone calls) cost estimates.. all of this saved me over $100k at closing.. and more, gave me a plan for what needed to be done so I'd have no surprises down the road Suffice it to say, I am recommending you call them! read more

Halcyon Home Inspection did a great job, they were professional, communicative and provided a very thorough inspection, thank you Julian!

Julian did an incredibly thorough and helpful report. One of the issues that he identified enabled us to fix a problem that could have caused us serious difficulties in the future. I will definitely use his services in the future. He knows his stuff. read more

I was very impressed by Halcylon who performed a pre-sale inspection of my home. I found the Inspector Julian to be very professional, thorough and answered in detail all the questions and concerns I had about my property-- alerting me to several issues I was not aware of. I was especially impressed with Julian's knowledge of 'the River' area and the types of issues that typically afflict (or not) it's homes. I would definitely recommend this company. read more

Julian arrived on time and quickly went to work. He used state of the art technology to complete the inspection and then submitted a detailed report to us. Thanks Julian !! Laurence & Luiza read more

Very professional and efficient. Report was detailed and thorough. I highly recommend. Sue Curtis, Realtor

Julian provided an in-depth inspection of the house and found some deficiencies that needed immediate attention. Highly recommended.

Julian performed a through inspection and prepared comprehensive report for our home located in Marin County, California. We rate his work highly with respect to quality, value, efficiency and cost. He is very experienced in conducting his work and has advanced measuring and evaluating tools. My wife and I have lots of respect for him for his professional manner and integrity and recommend him for anyone who needs a home inspection in the area he provides his services.

Julian is the best at what he does. Halcyon inspection reports are extremely thorough and well structured so that corrections can be addressed in order of importance. I've used Halcyon 4 times now and will continue to do so for all of my properties. read more

Julian was very thorough and super fast in getting the report back to me! I'm 100% satisfied.

Although the sellers had done a very clean inspection, we hired Julian from Halcyon Home Inspection to do an inspection so we could purchase the house without any surprises. Julian was very thorough and took over three and a half hours to check electrical, plumbing, HVAC, the roof, the property and its fire safety. He discovered a number of issues that the first inspection had missed. We're so grateful he did such a thorough inspection and would highly recommend him. read more

The inspection was done very quickly and professionally. They are easy to work with and I would use them again.

I worked with Julian for a long while on getting a home inspection done with an energy star rating. I've also shown that inspection report to other companies for their feedback. Generally every company that has seen the home inspection report is shocked by the lack of detail. Halcyon seems to only provide what is absolutely mandated by the state of California so it can be included in the BayREN rebate program (my assumption as to why they do this). We based an insulation project with another company off of the Halcyon report, only to find out that the Halcyon report was totally wrong. The Halcyon report said we had no insulation in our walls. It turns we have dense packed insulation in the walls. This has resulted in hundreds of dollars that I now owe to this other company, while also having paid for an invalid home inspection report to Halcyon. read more

I just recovered a house via a lengthy probate trial. The house had been in deferred maintenance mode even longer. I needed to know the condition of the house and its systems. Hired Justin to do a thorough assessment of what the obvious and hidden condition was of the house. He did a very complete job, and was helpful with hints about what needed to be done right away (e.g., safety compliance items) and what would loom in the near future (e.g., roof at 20+ year mark). He made a detailed report that is my to do list for the house. I would highly recommend Julian and would use him again if the need arises. read more

Halcyon Home Inspection did a great job evaluating our potential new home. The inspector was punctual, detail-oriented, and took the time to explain key findings. The report was comprehensive with clear photos and descriptions. The report was also completed next day which was great. Would definitely recommend for buyers who want peace of mind! read more

I had a good experience using Halcyon for my home inspection. We have a house that nobody has lived in a while, but aware that it has some problems that need to be accessed before we can make it a rental. Julian did a very thorough job, he addressed everything and more, and knows his stuff. The 56 page report was easy to understand and had a lot of detail. I wouldn't hesitate to hire him again. He's very professional and does an excellent job. read more

We needed an inspection quickly, and Julian got the job done promptly and professionally. Would absolutely recommend Halcyon Home Inspection. read more

Great communication from Julian and very quick to respond to my emails. Took the time to explain everything in a way I could understand. Thank you for your great service. read more

The best of the best. Thorough doesn't begin to describe this inspector. Ask your agent to request Halcyon.

Julian did our inspection last week. We specifically focused on what steps we could take to better insulate our attic and move hot air out of our home and attic in the summer. Julian promptly returned our initial phone call and was on time for our inspection. He provided a huge amount of detail about his findings and an equal amount of excellent recommendations for how to address our concerns, including an assessment of which of them would make the biggest improvements and what those would cost relatively to other approaches. We felt we got a lot more than our money's worth based on Julian's huge expertise and the length of time he spent answering our many questions. Highly recommend. read more

We had our inspection w/ Julian last week and could be more happy w/ his service. Julian did an exceptionally thorough job and got the report back to us the next morning. I would definitely recommend him. Thanks again Julian! read more

Julian did a great job on my new construction home inspection. He was very flexible on scheduling and once we settled on a date, he was very prompt and through with this inspection. As a first time buyer of a new construction home, I was told an inspection wasn't really necessary, but I would definitely recommend Julian's work for anyone on the fence. Worth every penny. He did a great job explain everything to me, was extremely through and all of that was much appreciated. I would very much recommend his services for anyone looking for a quality home inspector! read more

Julian was amazing with home inspection. Super clear, detailed and responsive. He definitely exceeded all my expectations. It was also fair priced. Definitely would recommend him to my family & friends. Thank you again for everything Julian. read more

Professional and very detailed. A thorough inspection at a fair price and what he uncovered actually had us rescind our offer on a unit and look for a different place to purchase. My realtor was impressed, my husband is a contractor and he was impressed and I would most definitely use him again if we are looking in the area. Thank you for being honest and doing what you said you would. Overdelivered and exceeded my expectations. read more

Professional, prompt, clear, and even knew some ASL. Julian was fantastic to work with. He was super thorough, and his report helped us flesh out anything our first house purchase was missing. He caught things that would have been awful on our first move-in day. On top of that, he communicated with us very quickly and worked with all parties to deliver high quality. The report was super thorough and brought us a great sense of ease. read more

Julian did such a thorough job with our home inspection. He took his time in every section of the home to help us make the best informed decision with our home purchase. Would definitely recommend to anyone who is looking for someone to give you a factual inspection. read more

Julian was very responsive and was able to complete my inspection with quite short notice (due to inspection contingency). He was professional and thorough and also had great communication throughout. Great attention to detail - and a very fair and reasonable price. Id highly recommend - read more

Julian was great to work with. He was clear and direct. His report helped put my mind at ease as a first time home buyer. My home was a new construction/new build and throughout the process my inexperience created a lot of moments of insecurity as I could not tell if everything was being done correctly. Julian completed a very thorough report that put my mind at ease. I will be saving Julian's contact and will be in touch with my next home purchase. read more

Julian was great to work with. Before the inspection, he asked us if there was anything specific we wanted him to focus on. During the inspection, he was very thorough and answered all our questions. And, as promised, he delivered a comprehensive and well-organized report first thing the morning after the inspection. Highly recommend him! read more

UPDATED REVIEW: Julian's response time is quick and prices competitive, but unfortunately, we discovered that he missed a crucial issue when he did our home inspection: our dryer vent duct hose was completely disintegrated and disconnected to vent outside. Without realizing this issue existed, I did a couple of loads of laundry without realizing the exhaust and dryer lint was dumping into our crawlspace. I'm not quite sure how a whole, broken dryer vent duct hose was missed, but just be weary when receiving your home inspection report and make sure to ask questions. Luckily, we had some professionals come out to assess the situation and show me pictures of the state of the dryer vent duct hose. We really wish we had this information beforehand. read more

I chose Halcyon because of their stunningly great reviews. I am about to launch into a major remodel and wanted to have a 3rd party assessment of areas that should be prioritized. Julian was easy to work with, very very knowledgeable and professional, and he did a great job... 77 pages of detail and worthwhile suggestions. read more

Excellent experience with Halcyon Home Inspection. Julian did a great job at a reasonable price. Julian showed up on time. He inspected my property in detail and the report came out the next day. The report was thorough and provided valuable insight. Very, very highly recommend Julian and his company. read more

Julian conducted our home inspection for a house we are in contract on and was excellent-- I would highly recommend him to anyone! He is very thorough and took the time after he was done to explain his findings. He was great at putting things in "laments" terms for me-- I don't know much about plumbing, electrical, etc. so he made sure I understood what everything meant. Home inspections can be daunting-- it's a little intimidating to hear everything that's "wrong" with the home you're in the process of buying. He made sure to explain the cause and effect of his findings-- if something was not major or would be an easy fix, he would call that out. He is very prompt, professional, and friendly. He even has a couple gadgets he used to inspect the house even more thoroughly (I.e. drone to see the roof, small vehicle- like an RC car- to get in the crawlspace), making it very efficient! Excellent service all around at a competitive rate. read more

I am so happy we chose Halcyon Home Inspection for our newly purchased home. I requested a quote and got a response from Julian immediately. Once I called he was able to go over the cost and scheduled me for what worked best for us and our realtor. The inspection took a few hours which gave me peace of mind knowing he was checking everything. Once completed, he gave me a rundown of what he found and provided the full report the next day. I work with home inspections daily and his was the most descriptive and extensive I've seen for our county. I was also provided with care and maintenance tips for our home as well as a follow up to see if I had any questions. I would highly recommend this company! Thanks again Julian for giving us the comfort and report needed for our new home. read more

Just had an older property assessed by Julian. We were very impressed by his thoroughness and the time he took to review his findings and discuss practical solutions - you understand immediately that he has a lot of experience behind him. Plus, he had the very clear written report to us in one day. Very nice Julian, thank you for your service, much appreciated! Mark and Marian read more

Professional, knowledgeable, and good communication. Julian did our home inspection in Santa Rosa this fall. He was quick to respond and available to answer post inspection questions via phone and email. Julian has an easy way about him and was open to questions during the inspection. read more
