Scott is professional. You want to feel comfortable and know that someone you can instantly trust is doing their best. An inspection is such an important part of buying a house and you will feel confident throughout the entire process. He is patient and takes his time with the customer and the inspection to make sure it is all done correctly. Not only is Scott going to be very detailed and clear in his inspection, he's going to be there every step of the way. I had questions before the inspection since this is my first house and he answered everything even before any payment. If you have any follow up questions (even years later he explained) he is happy to be there and assist... and he really has! Thanks Scott! -Jennifer S. read more

As a realtor I need dependable and thorough home inspectors to refer to my clients. Scott is always available to answer my buyers questions regarding any concerns they have with the condition of the home. His inspection reports are available the same day and have saved my clients thousands of dollars in repairs and/or credits from the seller. On a recent inspection he pointed out the major drainage and foundation issues even though professional foundation repairs were recently done. He recommended getting a foundation expert for a second opinion and upon further investigation the repairs were not done correctly. At another inspection he noticed what appeared to be only a minor sink leak and recommended a mold specialist. The specialist found there was indeed a huge mold issue and all the kitchen cabinets needed to be replaced. My client who had a severe mold allergy was extremely grateful. Scott's findings and recommendations have helped my clients get the facts they need to make important decisions in their home purchase. I highly recommend Scott Loska for your home inspections. read more

I'm fairly old school when it comes to business and service in my life. I would rather you look me in the eye, shake my hand and give me your word when striking a business deal. Unfortunately, this day in age I would not get very far if I were to conduct business in that manner. Needless to say the virtues of integrity, honesty, diligence and knowledge are very important to me when seeking business partners and clients alike. I talk about this to give some perspective into my standards and expectations when working with people in a professional capacity. I expect A LOT and when it comes to property inspections for clients who are making the single largest investment of their lives--I expect even more. Scott Loska of Loska Property Inspections has continuously exceeded my expectations from the time I started working with him 4 years ago. Scott is the consummate professional and takes his work very seriously. As someone who is a key component of a home-buyer's due diligence, his work and recommendations are extremely important. His knowledge and insight are second to none and he is happy to answer any questions and explain anything to nervous home buyers until they feel comfortable that they understand the situation. Scott has saved a number of our clients from making home purchases that they surely would have regretted later down the road. He is honest and forthright and he is able to do the unthinkable--make a property inspection fun! All in all, Scott is a true gem who takes his time and does his job the only way he knows how--the right way! It is for this reason that I entrust all of my home buyers with his expertise. If you are looking for a reputable property inspector, Scott Loska is the first and last phone call you should make. Experienced, knowledgeable, honest, reliable and a really cool guy.....you can't beat that combination. read more

Scott Loska was incredibly thorough and did did not miss anything during our recent home inspection. There were no details overlooked and he spent over three hours on a 1400 square foot home. The report I received a few hours after completion was more detailed than I could believe, including pictures with descriptions that corrolate to each listed imperfection. I was present for the entire inspection to personally watch Scott and he was a pleasure to spend a few hours with. He was willing to explain his findings while he worked and after the inspection he went over his report to ensure it was understood by my wife and I. I would highly recommend Scott. read more

Scott is extraordinarily thorough and meticulous in the way he conducts an inspection. He is like a robot in his testing of each and every functional aspect of the house. His expertise and experience in construction clearly pays off. I was wondering whether it was really going to end up being worth it to get a property inspection on our new construction home. Scott found several things that I would never have noticed, but were definitely significant and required repair prior to close of escrow. His report was very thorough and he was also gladly available to answer questions afterwards. Highly recommend him. read more

Scott was efficient, thorough, professional and personable. He walked us through the inspection, room by room, and answered every one of our questions. I would highly recommend him to anyone buying real estate. read more

Our family just recently moved to San Diego and we've been lucky enough to find a home we like. Our realtor, Josette Alvarez, gave us names of 2 home inspectors to choose from and I chose Scott based on his stellar Yelp reviews. I was not disappointed! He was very professional, thorough, and even funny! I received my report super quick. You can tell he takes pride in his work and I love doing work with people of excellence, like myself read more

As a realtor, it is my pleasure to recommend Scott with the utmost confidence. Scott exceeds expectations routinely for buyers, sellers and their realtors. Scott has performed physical inspections on behalf of my clients since 2006, and every client has been 100% pleased. He remains as professional, thorough, knowledgable, experienced, punctual, dedicated, personable and reasonable as anyone I've worked with in the industry. He combines a very thorough inspection with an understanding and knowledge of a home's period detail and potential, thus providing the most accurate recommendations specific to the subject property. read more

Scott is excellent at what he does! Not only did he provide a competitive price, but he was very thorough in his analysis while providing a same day report. Furthermore, he gave his honest assessment about the condition of the home my wife and I were looking to purchase. This assessment led to further inspection from an engineer and saved us from buying a home that would have been a money pit. I'd highly recommend Loska Property Inspections and will use him for any future home inspections. read more

As a long time real estate broker, I refer Scot to my buyers all the time. I always refer 3 inspectors and let my client choose. Typically they choose Scott. The reason must be that he is so responsive and communicates so clearly. Maybe that is due to the time he spent in the military. What I appreciate is how thorough he is, his state of the art inspection tools, and the way he puts his findings in context. This allows my clients to easily prioritize what to make an issue of and what to take care of later. Scott is the best! read more

My husband and I are purchasing a home in Coronado and have had the pleasure of dealing with Scott Loska as our property inspector prior to purchase. Scott was exceedingly thorough and scrupulously ethical in identifying areas of concern. He answered all of our questions and helped us understand how to operate the appliances. We feel very comfortable that our new home will be safe from foreseeable problems since Scott showed them to us. Moreover, Scott gave us a complete report with photographs of the problem areas within a couple of hours of the inspection. We recommend Scott to you without reservation. read more

What an incredible experience overall. Scott went above and beyond, leading with a heart of a teacher vs doing the job and getting out. He carefully walked my wife and I through what he discovered in our home. He welcomed questions even if they seemed like "dumb" questions. If all of that wasn't enough, he said we could call and ask for advice whenever we needed it in the future. 10 out of 10. Thank you, Scott! read more

At the time of the inspection, we were pleased that everything looked to be in reasonable shape for an old house. Scott missed a broken pane of glass that I pointed out, but he noticed a lot of other little things. Unfortunately, several months later we discovered that our gas pipes had an illegal junction and an overly taught junction line that was supposed to take the stress of an earthquake. No one was hurt by this mistake, but when we called to inquire about the miss (and the costs to fix it) we got a yarn about how inspectors never test for gas leaks nor do they go into "tight" places in the basement to inspect pipes. Had this been mentioned to us (or put in the inspectors report), we would have found someone who would inspect this crucial part of our home! I was disappointed that someone's "standard practices" trumped the safety of my family. The gas lines were a bit more important than the cracked fireplace tiles, thanks. read more

I have been using Scott for my client's inspections for over a year now and he is just fantastic! He is very thourough, reliable, knowledgable, patient and friendly. I highly recommend him and wouldn't dream of using someone else! read more

Scott did our Del Mar home inspection last Sat. And he is super thorough, patient, and professional on every details. It took him 4 hours to complete the inspection! And he is super nice, answering all of our questions, and educated us on what he found at the end of the inspection. Not only he found every tiny defects, but also provided us the latest safety regulations and recommended upgrades, which not all inspectors would do. He definitely saved a lot of our money and efforts down the road! If you're looking for an awesome inspector, Scott is the one! read more

Thorough and honest. That's what we were looking for in an inspector, and fortunately Scott is both. Scott will find a ton of issues with a house, but breaks them down into minor issues and major issues and does a great job educating you on the issues. He won't make a decision for you, but he provides you with all the information and/or advice for further inspections that you will need to make the right decision on whether or not to buy a house. He is brutally honest about what is wrong with a house, and has no reservations conveying it to you the potential buyer. That is probably the best attribute an inspector can have. Buying (or not buying) a home is nerve-racking, but Scott's work will calm the nerves and instill some confidence into your decision. He saved us from buying a lemon of a house. I would recommend Scott to anybody looking at buying a home. read more

He is a very thorough inspector. He spent very close to 4 hours inspecting the property and then explained his findings as he toured us through the home. He made sure to clarify safety issues and made everything very understandable. Look no further! Give him a call. read more

Scott prepared a very thorough review of our 2,300 sf house. What was even more impressive was his help in having some problems resolved that appeared after the inspection. This saved us a lot of trouble. I would highly recommend him. read more
