His exceptionally friendly demeanor and communicative approach during his General Inspection visit taught me many aspects of the house that I would not have considered and encouraged me to learn more about my property.

Matt at Cantor Inspections was outstanding from start to finish!…read more He was friendly, approachable, and easy to talk to throughout the entire inspection process. One thing that really impressed us was his ability to take complex construction or building issues and explain them in plain English. He made sure we understood not just what he found, but why it mattered and what our options were. Matt was able to ballpark repair costs, suggest different approaches to fixing issues, and recommend the right type of contractor or specialist for each item. It felt like we were getting an education from someone who was genuinely looking out for our best interests. We also appreciated how practical his advice was. Rather than just listing defects, he helped us understand the context behind each issue and what he would prioritize if he were advising his own kids. We found that perspective incredibly valuable, both during negotiations and in preparing for homeownership. If you're buying a home in the Bay Area, you need to call Matt. We couldn't recommend him more highly.

He was especially happy to be doing the work for someone who really wanted to know all the potential problems, instead of for a seller that might wish there were no potential repairs. I will reach out to them to schedule a similar inspection for my mom's home.

As a Realtor, I need professionals I can trust to be timely, knowledgeable, accurate, and professional--and Terrence consistently exceeds expectations. I've worked with him on multiple transactions for the past three years, and every experience has been outstanding. One of my clients was especially impressed when Terrence carefully reviewed and corrected the Section 1 work recommendations on their property, saving them unnecessary expense and confusion. His inspections are thorough, his reports are clear and delivered promptly, and I learn something new from him with every property he inspects. He takes the time to explain his findings and always puts the client's best interests first. If you're looking for a dependable, honest, and highly experienced termite inspector, look no further. Terrence is my go-to termite professional, and I highly recommend him.

Terrence was given the nickname of "Terrence the Termite Terminator" on a review posted a few days…read moreago by another Yelper and I 100% agree that he should wear that title with great pride. Very much like that reviewer, we also did NOT have termites (thank goodness because I had dreaded visions of broken walls, tenting in my future and a smaller bank balance!) What I really, really, REALLY appreciate was Terrence's honesty and knowledge. He could have easily told us we had a terrible termite issue and charged us for something we didn't need. Thank you for the complimentary house call- I likened his visit to one in which the doctor has told you that you don't have the "C" word after all! (If you could have heard my sigh of relief when he said we didn't have termites!) I completely recommend Priceless Termite Control based on his honesty and integrity alone. In addition, Terrence is very personable, easy to talk to and informative. This is a quality company; I sensed his expertise the minute Terrence walked in.

Don't trust their report, it will miss critical issues such as mold. I beg you to read what…read morehappened to me before hiring them. We booked GCIS through our realtor (realtor had the invoice sent to me few hours before our offer was redacted.) Supposed to be the "best" in bay area, they charged me double the average inspection price. Mark Nolfi showed up on the property and performed a 1.5 hour inspection on a 2700 sq ft property (google average inspection time for larger properties in bay area for comparison). During the inspection, I pointed out concerns about mold smell and stains on the interiors, which he said it was no big deal. Mark Nolfi sent the reports to the wrong email address and got it delayed in my hands. The final report did not address any mold issues which I raised multiple times during the inspection, just mentioned water damages and ventilation issues. Regardless of their clean report, I hired a mold inspector to check the property. Guess what, mold inspector found active black mold under the bathroom sink. It's up to your decision, but I will never trust GCIS report ever again. Funny fact during the inspection, Mark Nolfi seemed to argue with my realtor that he got to be paid more for inspecting non-permitted spaces and spending extra 30min on it. LMAO, interesting company with interesting employees and interesting relationships with realtor. To me, it's lesson well learnt. I paid quite a bit to GCIS, but avoiding them will save me thousands of dollars from now on. Hope my story can shed some lights to home buyers. Happy house hunting guys!

So they got paid twice. In the 2 months that we have been in the place, here's what we have found: - Day 1 - water heater didn't work. They disclaimed inspection because the gas was turned off when they visited. - Siding leaked - we had a contractor out and he told us that the siding was not properly sealed. He noticed just by looking and he wasn't trying to sell work. He actually recommended we call someone else to do the work. Estimate is $12K. Not in the inspection report. - Roof leaks. Our contractor was out looking at the siding leak and pointed out a bubble in the ceiling paint. Said we should check it out. My husband poked his finger up there and it went right through. Roofer came out and said it was a completely terrible roofing job. There's another few thoughts. So thanks for your useless inspection. Certainly provided zero protection. Their report is also pretty difficult to read. Inspections I have received when purchasing other houses had pictures and level of concern to help a non-expert like me understand the significance of the issue.
