Buying a house can be overwhelming, especially as a first time home buyer. You want to ensure that…read moreyou have someone who is going to do an excellent job and be communicative. TL DR: this an amazing company, great value, and detail oriented. If you need a home inspection go with advanced inspections. From the get go, they are super communicative with you. They ask if you have any questions before the actual inspection. The report itself is super detailed and contains so many pictures. You get great recommendations in the report to with things that have to be fixed, things that could be considered later. It was a pleasure working with Joel and I highly encourage that if you need a home inspection please consider advanced inspections! Great and competitively priced, organized, and so worth it!

What I appreciated most was how responsive they were.

The inspection itself was smooth and resulted in a very detailed report with clear, practical recommendations. The house was fairly new, so only minor issues came up. They even used a drone to inspect the roof. Highly recommended.

After he was done, he took the time to chat with me to discuss what he found, propose solutions, and answer any questions I had. He was very clear in how he described things and would show pictures of what he found and pictures of what it should look like. He clearly takes pride in his work and has years of experience. A couple days later, I received his official written report and I was pleasantly surprised at how long and detailed it was. If you need an inspection, this is the guy to hire! Also, his wife, Lori, handles scheduling/admin duties and she was also very pleasant to work with.

Last year we moved into a new Toll Brothers home. As the homes warranty was coming up to expire I…read morewanted an additional set of eyes on our home to make sure we were set. I found Kent on Yelp and gave him a shout. Made an appointment and boom, the inspection began. Kent was at our home almost 5 hours. I was extremely impressed with his knowledge of construction and building code. Needless to say our home is looking pretty good. Kent did find a few items I need to have Toll Brothers fix. A cracked roof tile, an unmarked fire door entering the home from the garage, and a landscaping drainage issue. If you are looking for peace of mind with the investment regarding your home, I highly recommend Kent come take a look. With decades of experience Kent's sharp eye will bring light to the unknown in your home.

I contacted Calview and spoke with Ian regarding my need for an inspection of our home's HVAC…read moresystem. Ian asked multiple questions about the type of inspection we were looking for, what type of system we had, and what our expectations for the inspection were, then actually recommended a different specialist inspector who he believed would be able to provide the service we were looking for. I appreciate the integrity of a business that is more concerned with helping a potential client than trying to make a quick buck. I will definitely be sure to recommend Ian and Calview to friends who are looking for inspection services!

I want to respond to several inaccurate statements in the prior review from my landlord Elizabeth…read more  Firstly, Zach was the technician who conducted the inspection. He was courteous, knowledgeable and professional. Ian is the owner of the company. From my experience with him in this short while , I've learned he is a family man with astounding integrity. Second, I did not contact this company Cal-View Property Inspections casually or without cause. I reached out because there were serious ongoing concerns in my home, involving exposed walls, abnormal air quality, and conditions that affected my family's health and safety. At the time, children were living in the home, and the wall area had remained exposed for an extended period. The inspection was not the cause of the problem. It was conducted because I needed answers about conditions that already existed inside the unit. The inspection helped confirm that mold concerns were present in the air and on surfaces within the home, including in my daughter's bedroom. After the inspection, I pursued code enforcement. That process resulted in multiple code violations being identified, and repairs were required. My family was displaced as a result of the condition of the home, not because of anything this company created. The statements suggesting improper motive or lack of professionalism do not reflect my experience. I hired this company because I needed an independent assessment, and from my experience they were professional, responsive, and helpful during an extremely stressful situation. This company did not create the conditions in my home. They documented them. I am grateful I contacted them.

He carefully took his time and did not rush through the inspection. Bill patiently explained what he saw and the ramifications of the problems observed.
