Randy is very professional and not greedy. My house has some footing issues, and after I called…read morehim, I got the sense that some people might have simply taken my money, told me "Yes, there's a problem," and I'd still have to find a contractor to actually fix it. But Randy didn't do that. Instead, he advised me to go straight to a contractor to address the issue, and mentioned that the inspection fee could be rolled into the repair cost. He also didn't pressure me by recommending any specific contractor. That level of honesty really stood out to me. I would 100% recommend Randy to my friends.

We were purchasing a new property and needed an inspection of the home and sewer. After…read moreresearching several inspection firms, we ultimately decided to go with Elias at CR Home Inspections due to the reviews describing him as one of the most thorough professionals in the business. And indeed he was! Elias met us on an expedited schedule and he worked promptly with a deep attention to detail. He identified every little issue and gave us an extreme amount of comfort. He even fended off an annoying seller agent that ambushed him towards the end of his inspection and tried to get information on Elias' findings before he even discussed with the client (me). In summary, Elias is the best in the business and is a man of strong integrity. I highly recommend him and definitely would work with him again.

I was looking to buy a property in the OC and found Elias with 5 stars. Honestly, I'm pretty…read moreskeptical about that stuff but I needed the inspection ASAP and he was the first to reply and schedule. Sadly, he scheduled the wrong day and my agent went to the property and basically wasted the trip there since we had to reschedule to the next day. For me this wasn't a big deal since I didn't go out myself, but I felt bad that my agent wasted his time. Elias was very apologetic and even bought my agent a gift card as an apology. He totally owned up to his mistake and for me that speaks volumes about a person. The actual inspection was pretty good as far as I can tell, I'm not an expert on these kinds of things but the report was very detailed and had a lot of photos. He flew a drone up to the roof to take a look and even pointed out minor details like staining on the carpet that I honestly didn't catch when I saw the property myself. Seems like he used infrared to check for water leaks when inspecting the plumbing in the bathrooms and kitchen. In terms of pricing, he was one of the more expensive options but given the level of customer service he provided and the quality of the report I would say it's worth it. Overall, the experience with Elias was very positive and if I ever need inspection services again, he'll be the first I call.

General inspection, roof, pool, sewer, mold, etc. all done by the same company (and by 3 people at once so it didn't take forever and a day). Also, prior to the inspection, scheduling was very easy and customer service was great with them fitting me into a cancellation to get my inspection done sooner. We received our report later about 9 hours after our inspection was complete (and received our expedited mold report a day later), and the report is very thorough and easy to read. Once again, if you want the best inspectors and best customer service, this is who you want.

Most unprofessional experience I've ever had. Do not trust this guy with the most important and…read moreexpensive purchase of your life. He is not knowledgeable (made several errors), incredibly difficult to work with, and has the temperament of a petulant child. Edit: Some red flags for future readers - 1) this is the only home inspector of the five we reached out to who required full payment BEFORE the appointment. 2) he sent the original contract at midnight the night before he cancelled and cancelled it at 6:30pm, meaning he gave us less than 18 hours to read, sign and pay for a contract. 3) Since he cancelled on us last minute, I politely asked (pleaded, even) for him to reconsider - I said I would pay and sign then, but he denied us. This guy is probably sadistic or sociopathic at the least - it seemed he took pleasure in leaving us without help. 4) There are several typos in his reply above - keep in mind that this is who will be analyzing your home and writing your 100+ page inspection report. Do you want someone of this intelligence and education level spotting potentially deadly issues in your future home?

From the very beginning, they were prompt, professional, and incredibly thorough. They took the time to explain everything clearly, answering all of my questions with patience and detail. The inspection report was well-organized, easy to understand, and delivered quickly;complete with photos and helpful recommendations. It gave me real peace of mind during a stressful home-buying process. You can tell this inspector truly cares about their work and the people they serve. Reliable, knowledgeable, and highly attentive to detail; everything you want in a home inspection service. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone. Excellent service from start to finish!

I'm a Realtor and have had dozens of property inspections over the years. I wanted to use Raz for…read moremy personal property sale because he claimed he was so detailed, had construction industry background, and he has good reviews. Well, I got swindled. Believe the other reviews that say his inspections are sloppy and his reports are not detailed. (perhaps his good reviews come from people who don't know what to expect.) Basically, Raz is a scam artist. He sold me on the fact that his pricing is $500+ more than other inspectors because of his quality. But the inspection and report I got was the sloppiest and least detailed report I have ever received - for the highest price! Neither my hubby or I was home when he did the inspection. He said it would take 5 hours; he texted after 3 hours saying he was done. He missed a huge list of things, and then completely ghosted me when I pointed it out and asked him to come back. I included pictures and videos, so there was no doubt. Still no response. I have 2 attached apartments on this property. I told him one would not be accessible, but the other tenant would leave the door unlocked. I even told Raz how to access the attic space where the HVAC system is for that unit. He completely SKIPPED inspecting that apartment entirely. He made silly errors, like saying he could not inspect my fireplace because the gas key was not available. But you can even see the key hanging in the photo he provided! He said the lights over my bed were not functional, but he just did not notice the switches on either side of my headboard for those lights. He said the sliding door wouldn't lock, when he wasn't closing it tight enough to engage the pin. He missed appliances in the kitchen, and really didn't even test the ones he did show in the report (I know, because one burner on the stove doesn't light well, and he would have caught that if he'd done a thorough inspection.) I had a list of about 30 things a handyman was scheduled to do, that I knew a good inspector would catch. I like to say "Done, Done Done" on pre-sale inspection reports, so people can see what things have already been paid for and corrected. These were not minor things: tripping hazards, wood rot, bricks pulling away from the concrete, exterior electrical outlets that weren't functioning, outlet covers missing, etc etc. He didn't catch one of those things! The only exterior lights he mentioned were my rear deck lights. He missed 2 front porch lights, security lights, sidewalk lights, front columns lights? How? In the garage, he missed an entire room (where the electrical subpanel is, so that was not in the report either), signs of rodents, outlets not working, etc. He didn't even go on the roof, giving a lame excuse about worrying about falling through. He'd already been in the attics, and could see there was solid sheathing under the metal roof! Every other inspector I've ever had has included a roof inspection, and a referral to a roofing contractor if they see issues beyond their scope. I also told Raz he would not be able to inspect the pool and equipment, because the pool was empty - but to please note that the pump was a newer energy-efficient pump. And I provided photos of the water heater and whole house recirc system to him, which he would not have access to, and asked him to include those in his report as well (with a note that customer had supplied the photos). He included neither of those things. So many other things skipped too! He basically flew through my house doing the least possible, and then refused to release the report to me unless I paid in full - because he KNEW he'd done a completely crap job and would have to go back and do it over if I saw the report before paying. With all of the things I had already indicated would not be accessible or able to test, he discounted the price a little bit initially. But add those things to the apartment he completely skipped, and he really only inspected/reported on about 60% of my property, and even that was extremely subpar. Yet I paid $1200+ for 3 hours of his time. His "detailed 69 page report" basically just had boilerplate verbiage for most items. Do NOT waste your time or money with this guy. If he had done the right thing and offered to come back and make it right, that would be a different story. But the fact that he can do this shoddy work and then ghost me, not taking any responsibility whatsoever, shows the type of guy he really is. He's a sweet talker, but takes advantage when he can. Also be aware that the "home inspector" industry is the only sector that doesn't have any licensing requirements. So there is literally no agency to report him to. That's why he can get away with doing things like this. And he'll do it again. Hopefully not to you.

We are extremely disappointed with the inspection that was done. It feels as though the goal was…read moresimply to get the sale through rather than properly protect the buyer. After moving into our new home, we discovered that both brand-new refrigerators were not functioning properly. In addition, none of the showers were working correctly, as the water temperature could not be balanced and would suddenly become dangerously hot. When we brought this to the inspector's attention, his response was that they "don't check the water" and that the inspection is only "visual." We received a similar response from the agent regarding the improperly assembled dishwasher. Because of this negligence, we are now facing serious issues with the seller, who is refusing to take responsibility or corrective action. For anyone planning to buy a new home: please make sure you personally walk through everything with your agent and test all appliances, plumbing, and fixtures yourself. Do not rely solely on the inspector's or agent's judgment.
