I wasn't even the direct customer, but was about to purchase a home I fell in love with in Los Osos. The previous buyer fell through and the Real Estate agent claimed it was due to not being able to get the funding. During that process, the home inspection report performed by Taylor from the previous attempted buyer was shared with us. Their detailed report gave us the much needed insight into realizing how much work this home actually needed. The real estate agent tried down playing it and claimed the report was overly critical. Given the extent of the needed repairs, we were able to make the decision to avoid overpaying for a money pit. Sad to not get the home, but happy to not be living in a house that would have been constantly under construction to make it safe to live in. read more

An absolute pleasure to work with! Keith and his wife were professional and courteous. Keith did me a HUGE favor by coming out on a Sunday. I can't tell you how much I appreciate that. TOP NOTCH! I wish I could give them 6 stars! read more

We needed the decks on a 3 story apartment building inspected and Keith at Professional Home Inspection was awesome! What a wonderful person! The process went quickly and the report for what repairs were needed was very thorough. While repairs were being made he came out and consulted with the contractors as to what exactly he would want to see done so we would pass the final inspection. I highly recommend him. read more

Certified in every aspect of inspection. Reliable and trustworthy. My clients depend upon a thorough inspection, and they come through every time. I highly recommend Taylor and Keith. And Georgia in the office is fantastic. read more

Keith is the best Home Inspector period. His knowledge is extensive and his service is the most valuable part of your property purchase and provides more value than any other person involved in the process. He and Georgia are wonderful people and so glad they are in business here. read more

We were referred to Keith and not being from the area, went with the recommendation as we didn't know anyone. Could not be more happy. I know quite a bit about home construction and Keith was incredibly detailed and thorough. He spent several hours and covered all the various systems in detail. I didn't expect him to check every plug as I don't think that is w/in scope but he pointed out many, many things in his report. Additionally, he let me crawl under the house and tag along with him. He pointed things out as he discovered them. This was very helpful as it gave me a better understanding than just looking at pictures and reading about it in his report. Took my call afterwards to discuss things and give me his opinion and suggestions beyond just building codes. Would definitely use his service again. Thanks! read more

I learned more about our new home, and home construction in general, by following Keith around during our home inspection than I probably will living in it for the next 5 years. The thoroughness of the inspection and depth of knowledge displayed gives me a peace of mind that we are moving into a solid and safe home. The report was clear to delineate safety issues vs. recommendations with clear reasoning and was in my hands to review within the day of the inspection. I highly recommend Professional Home Inspection Services and value the 3 hour rolling conversation I had with Keith during the inspection. read more

Keith was great. My wife and I didn't know much going in as this is our first home. Keith encouraged us to walk around with him (although he didn't mind if we drifted off from time to time) as enthusiastically explained everything he was doing. We learned a lot.and had fun in the process. So happy he performed our home inspection for us! read more

I use this company every time I buy a new home. They are very professional, honest and thorough.

We have now done two home inspections with Keith, and, as evidenced by our repeat patronage, his service is excellent. Very thorough, prompt, and professional. For example, when we were buying our first house, he noted a disparity in the floor level. The seller had told us that it was ok, because she had new windows installed and the window guy had said it was fine when he was doing his installation. Keith suggested we get a foundation expert out. Boy are we glad we did. We had to back out of escrow, and Keith's advice saved us hundreds of thousands of dollars down the road. So, when it came time for our next inspection, we gave him (or, more accurately, his wife Georgia) a call. When Keith said the house was in great shape, we trusted that he was right! Can't recommend more highly. read more

Keith Vreeken has been a life savior to my neighbors and myself. I was unable to have my home professionally inspected prior to my closing as the builder didn't finish it as the contract read. After a very short time I noticed several problems with my new home. I tried to work with the contractor to fix these issues but he became extremely difficult and verbally abusive. I hired Keith to do a Construction Defect inspection on my home. He found and expertly documented the defects. He has helped myself and several of my neighbors who unfortunately also bought a home built by this same contractor. We are now in the middle of an on going lawsuit. Keith is our expert witness for these proceedings. His CV with his many licenses and his experience as a general contractor has given us the upper hand in our lawsuits. I will be forever grateful to Keith and his wonderful family for looking out for our safety. By far the only inspection company I or my friends and neighbors will use! read more

Keith was very thorough and friendly. He explained everything in detail when walking through the house for the inspection. He did a great job and we are thankful we got all of the information we did. read more

We needed a home inspector quickly, and our realtor introduced us to Keith Vreeken. From the first moment of the inspection Keith was friendly, clear, and thorough. Keith really put himself in our shoes to explain which specific home repair issues we should address right away (kitchen sink pipes) and which could wait (a few cracked roof tiles). He spent 3 hours scrutinizing the house and answering all my questions. By the end of that time, I felt like I had a detailed home repair and maintenance calendar customized to my prospective home. Keith's experience as a firefighter provided us with great tips I don't think we would have gotten otherwise (use a magnetic stop for the door connecting the garage to the house, since the garage must be sealed off from the rest of the home at all times). The inspection felt like a conversation with a new, incredibly helpful friend, but Keith was hard at work the whole time. He retook photos to get the perfect shot showing minor damages. He wrote and re-worded explanations of damages so that future contractors would know exactly what to fix. And he sent 15+ pages of detailed inspection notes within an hour of leaving the house. Keith is obviously passionate about excellence in his work, and he will be the first person I turn to when I need help again. read more

We recently hired Keith Vreeken of Professional Home Inspection Services to do an inspection on a newly constructed home. My husband and I were so impressed with not only his list of credentials but how he backed them up. His knowledge of building codes and warranty issues on a newly constructed home were truly amazing. He takes the time to explain everything as he walks you through the investigation. We were shocked to learn of all the violations that the city building inspectors missed. His report has become instrumental as we follow up with getting our home up to code and safe. I have since recommended Keith to other neighbors that naively--and understandably so-- assumed that buying a newly constructed home meant that there should be no unforeseen and potentially costly repair issues that one typically finds in older homes. read more

I've worked with a few different inspectors when buying properties in the past. All have been good. This company is different though, they are great. Will use them when/if I buy again, and this is now my referral for those looking for inspection services. Taylor was super knowledgeable, professional, and the report he drafted was extremely detailed but honed in on the critical things I needed to know. That's tough to do. I spoke with Keith when interviewing different companies, and you could tell immediately that these folks love their job and focus on providing a wonderful service to their customers. They were referred by a renowned inspector in the area who recently retired, and I am very glad I chose to work with them. Highly Recommended! read more

I am deeply indebted to Keith Vreeken of Professional Home Inspection Services for thoroughly inspecting my attic and roof and for writing up the most detailed inspection report. He really knows his stuff, knows all the building codes, and can point out what is not done according to code. Keith is my hero. His quality work is invaluable to me, and I have been telling many friends and family members that he is the best inspector on the planet. Thank you so much, Keith. read more

Our realtor recommended Keith and Professional Home Inspection Services to do the inspection on the home we're purchasing. We were able to schedule the appointment quickly, and even though we were 15 minutes early, Keith still beat us to the site. It was our first time participating in an inspection and Keith was incredibly personable and knowledgeable. He explained the process, different systems, answered all of our questions and made the whole process really easy to understand. The report we received was incredibly thorough and was sent electronically before we even got in the car to leave! All in all, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Keith, and should we be in need of his services in the future, we would love to work with him again. read more

Keith was terrific - very detailed, explained everything to us. It is clear that he has a lot of experience and knowledge in home inspection issues. We would recommend him to anyone who is looking for a very comprehensive home inspection on the Central Coast. read more

How about a refund. For whatever reason your service man did not do his job. I have nothing to gain by providing you with this honest and frank review and I hope you use it to improve the quality of your work products and process instead of wasting time defending a defenseless position. read more

Highly recommend using this company. I was scrambling last minute to find an inspector who could inspect a property as soon as possible. Georgia was very quick to contact me via yelp and we were able to secure a date. My husband met with Keith who was promptly on time. He was very detailed, knowledgeable, and friendly. As a realtor, I was very impressed with the amount of time he spent. Two thumbs up for team Keith and Georgia! read more

I really like this company, the name says it all. As a RE Broker I've hired hundreds of home inspection companies in 25 years and have never been as impressed. read more

Wait What!??? One of the best inspectors in our area and I am the first to write a review??? Feeling very privileged with this honor! Professional Home Inspection Services is one of the best Home Inspection Services in our area. Georgia is behind the scenes scheduling all of Keith's appointments. Keith is extremely professional, beyond thorough and I feel confident my clients will be receiving the best report on their big purchase! If you are buying a home and want to know every aspect of the inner and outer workings of the home, use Professional Home Inspection Services! read more

I have hired this company many times and have always been very pleased. The inspectors are extremely knowledgeable and forthcoming, always offer practical solutions to problems, print out the entire report at the site, complete with color photos. In addition, they have never once been late to any of my scheduled inspections. Every client has been impressed, which is a good reflection on me for having recommended them.

Keith was excellent. Clearly takes pride in his work. Head and shoulders above a previous inspection I had on a different house. Report was thorough, but even better was his availability to elaborate on any areas of concern. Got the impression he knows his stuff, is courteous, friendly/approachable, and gives a "lifetime ask me anything about your house" approach vs a "job's done don't bother me" approach. Highly recommend. read more

Highly recommend this company! Keith Vreeken and Taylor Vreeken are extremely knowledgeable about the details of home construction. They are personable, reliable, and trustworthy. Truly a joy to learn about my home from them! read more

Keith is a friendly, affable professional who clearly loves his work. His comfortable demeanor is bolstered by his deep professionalism. His keen, quick analysis is delivered in understandable and useful terms. He takes the time necessary not only to do a complete inspection but also to speak to you, walking you through the highs and lows of what he finds. He's completely comfortable with over-the-shoulder observation by his clients while he does his work. It's fascinating to watch him in action. He makes sure you understand any challenges and provides useful information on how things can be remedied. At the end of the inspection, he feels like someone you've known and trusted for a long time, and you hate to see him go. Once your inspection is done, he tells you that he's available to answer questions essentially forever. I don't think either Keith or I will live forever, but I wouldn't want to place any bets on him not keeping that promise. IOW: highly recommended! read more

Keith was very prompt, professional, thorough, and efficient when he performed a pre-sale home inspection while I (the seller) and the buyer were present. He provided a quick review of the results and sent the report via email the same day. I would use him again without hesitation. read more

My husband and I found out about Keith and Georgia through our realtor as we were about to close on our first home. Keith saved us over 50,000.00, yes fifty thousand dollars! His sharp eye and attention to detail is just unbelievable. He has a long and impressive list of credentials and in some cases actually did write the book! He takes his time and explains every issue he finds and what the best recourse is to resolve. He provides a very detailed report with photos. His boss, Georgia is the nicest person you would ever meet, she set our appointment and emailed us to make sure we knew how it would work, time involved, cost and was there for our questions. Keith and Georgia are who you should go to for home inspection when buying and selling your home. Our chosen house looked so good that we almost opted to skip the inspection and that would have been a terrible mistake as there was a major issue with the foundations. It was not visible to anyone except Keith's trained eye. My husband and I could not recommended Professional Home Inspection any higher we would give them 10 yelp stars if available. Don't skip the home inspection and don't just go with any inspector, have Keith come and go through it with you. He is not expensive and worth every penny. We found another house that passed Keith's eagle eye and will be closing this week. Go with the very best and call Professional Home Inspection and recommend them to everyone who is buying or selling. You will be inform and have peace of mind. read more

Keith did an excellent inspection of the home we going to buy. He was willing to let me accompany him and explained in detail the good and bad issues of the home. He was willing to take any questions. I was impressed by his knowledge. read more

We hired Keith Vreefken in 2008 to inspect a 35 year old house in Arroyo Grande that had almost zero updates or improvements. Six kids grown, wife passed away, old Filipino gentleman moving out. Keith took hours to do a complete inspection, enumerating a long list of grave problems. We bartered over the price and bought it. When we got it, it was so bad, our AAA wouldn't insure it; but our plan was to gut it, which we did, and rented it and sold 7 years later. Keith also inspected a condo in AG in 2018 and did a very thorough professional job. He is very easy to work with. A very nice guy. read more

I had an inspection by Taylor Vreeken on my home. The home was built in 1958, and recently remodeled. He noted items as if the house was brand new and according to current building code. He noted a light switch that apparently didn't go to anything, but all that was needed was a light bulb. He said a sink stopper pull up didn't work, he just didn't pull it up hard enough. He noted that the chimney was not tall enough and didn't have the required clearance, but when the house was built it passed inspection. He called for the water softener to have some repairs when it wasn't even hooked up and being used. It was obviously abandoned. He called so many items he killed my real estate transaction. Really stupid stuff on the report that scared the buyers away. This man is a deal killer. I'd stay as far away from him as possible. read more

Very thorough and knowledgable. Helped explain things in a way that made sense. Professional and friendly. Will definitely hire him again if I'm buying another house. read more

We had Keith inspect the home we're buying, and were very pleased. He spent 4 hours answering all of our questions and explaining everything he was doing. We learned so much about the house itself and all of its parts - electrical, plumbing, etc. He produced a comprehensive report within hours including photos and detailed explanations. He was thorough, professional, personable and patient. I give him my highest recommendation. read more
