We had a fantastic experience working with Matt Cantor of Cantor Inspections. The level of detail…read moreand depth of knowledge he provides easily justify the cost of the inspection, which pays for itself several times over when deciding who and what work to do. Matt conducted a very thorough inspection and, more importantly, helped my family understand how to prioritize the work our home needed. His report gave us the knowledge and confidence to speak with contractors and make sure we were focusing on the right repairs rather than unnecessary work. What really stood out was that Matt didn't disappear after the inspection. He remained available for follow-up questions and was incredibly generous with his time and advice as we evaluated contractor proposals. His insight helped us navigate some very expensive recommendations and focus on practical, staged solutions instead. If you want a home inspector who is thoughtful, knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in helping homeowners make smart decisions, I can't recommend Matt highly enough. Working with him was invaluable for our family.

TL;DR - I had a wonderful experience with Matt and highly recommend Cantor Inspections. He is warm,…read moregracious with his time, and incredibly knowledgeable. He wears many hats--part inspector, part anthropologist, part design historian, and so much more. Matt was communicative and able to fit in an inspection of my home almost immediately. I also found his rate to be very affordable, especially given the quality of work and his attention to detail. Long Form Review - I live in Oakland and have a craftsman style house built in 1913. My wife and I bought the house in 2022 as first time homebuyers. We have been so happy in the home, but it has a range of issues and quirks, as I imagine all century-old buildings do. We have done several repairs and renovations on the home already and have many more projects planned. From the initial inspection report and after having lived in the home for 3 years, we thought we had a pretty good idea of what projects and repairs needed to come next. However, before committing any more time and money to any future projects, we felt that we needed an expert, third-party source to help us reevaluate the home, prioritize future work, and identify urgent repairs. This was the context with which I reached out to Matt at Cantor Inspections. I initially messaged Matt via Yelp, and he got back to me almost immediately. Even though he was traveling internationally at the time, he was incredibly communicative and was able to schedule me as soon as he got back from his trip. On the day of the inspection, Matt arrived on time and was more than happy to have me shadow him. The inspection took about 6 hours and I was probably able to follow Matt around for 80-90% of it, observing, taking notes, and picking his brain over a myriad of different issues. Matt is warm, kind, and patient. He answered all of my questions and provided me with quite the history lesson regarding Craftsmen style homes, as well as lessons on construction techniques, material science, engineering, and much, much more. I also found Matt to be empathetic and understanding of my unique situation, more than willing to talk through the issues that were most salient to me. In terms of the report itself and Matt's work, I found it to be very in-depth and comprehensive. In the Recommendations section, Matt does a great job of identifying an issue, describing why that issue is a problem, and outlining steps to fixing said issue. Overall, Cantor Inspections went above and beyond in helping my wife and I reevaluate our home, prioritize future work, and identify urgent repairs. Lastly, I'll add that Matt was great with our dog and cat, who also followed Matt around for most of the day.

Through the years, I've used several inspectors, but have always returned to Inspection Pros primarily because of inspectors David Teare and Paul Brietkopf. Frankly, I can't imagine how these folks stay so even-tempered especially after crawling in the attic, in the basement, in all kinds of weather. David and Paul understand the concerns of both buyers and sellers, and are very careful in stating what they find. By careful, I mean they don't cause unnecessary stress by using words that may scare people off. For example, they may describe efflorescence in the foundation without suggesting the house may fall down if it's not addressed. They encourage clients to ask questions while they inspect so that they can address them right away. And after each inspection, they provide a quick summary of what they found and make recommendations on certain steps to take or what other types of inspections to get if the client is so inclined. I always ask for either David or Paul.....and I'm very grateful for their thoroughness and professionalism.

What stood out most was his honesty and willingness to educate us throughout the process. He never rushed, answered all of our questions, and made sure we felt comfortable every step of the way. He also reassured us that we could reach out anytime after receiving the report, which gave us a lot of peace of mind knowing we have someone we can trust even after the inspection. On top of that, his pricing was very reasonable compared to other quotes we received. Highly recommend Howard to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, honest, and supportive home inspector.

I wanted to get a neutral assessment, so I spoke to a few inspectors. However, my phone conversation with Jeff was so amazingly helpful, I knew I wanted to meet with him. When he came over, he had the right equipment to quickly resolve my moisture concerns. After that, he spent the rest of the time going over every little concern I've ever had about my home since we bought it 10 years ago. He shoots straight (to the point of being funny) and is very practical in his advice. It was awesome to have an expert give candid assessments on different issues. He was also very generous with his time, and he seemed to just enjoy helping me understand how to best proceed as a homeowner. I think every home owner should have someone like Jeff come out check out your home, especially after a few years of living in it, and you've gotten to know the issues of a home. It was super.

Jeff is very experienced and took his time to guide us through the inspection process. He communicated all his findings clearly and gave us great tips along the way. He was friendly and personable. Not at all condescending like another reviewer alleged. I can tell he's very passionate about his job and a subject matter expert in his line of work. He was helpful, answered all of our questions, and gave honest feedback. I even got my report back less than 24 hours! It was a pleasure working with Jeff. I highly recommend Jeff for home inspection services.
