I set up a project here in Yelp for pre-purchase Home inspections. I received about 4 answers…read morewithin a day and this Home Inspection Experts is the one that got my attention and trust right off the bat. The first message is very welcoming and they already tell you what packages they have with the prices and even extra services like termites and general pool inspection. No need for back and forth messaging asking for prices or your number for them to call. I checked their reviews and that's it, I decided I want their services. I messaged back and her reply is almost immediate at a very strange time. I think I messaged her late at night. I just copied and pasted their message to my agent and there, appointment is set. We chose the platinum so the sewer inspection will be included and additional pool and termites. During the inspections, the 2 inspectors came on time. Home inspections took about 2 and a half hours which is really good coz it means they check every detail. They delivered the findings verbally and the written report was sent to my agent and me the next day. I don't even know how to share to you the result because there's a lot. Just trust Home Inspection experts. They got you covered. I recommend this company 100%.

Really happy with our experience, definitely recommended.

I recently put an offer on a mobile home in Gardena. My realtor set me up with Elite inspections…read moreand I'm so glad she did! The mobile was inspected on 5/23. James was the inspector and he was great! He was on time and very thorough. He was patient about answering my question too. The inspection was scheduled from 10-12. He stayed a little bit longer to make sure everything was checked out. I feel like I got great service at a very fair price. I highly recommend this company!

I used this company for a home inspection later last year. I was told about a lot of small things…read morelike a not properly installed/mounted plug in the access area in the wall for the HVAC. So, I thought this company was no joke... Which was an about $30,000 mistake. As I paid the extra fee for the "pool/spa inspection". The inspector had zero idea what he was doing with the pool "inspection". The pool turned out to be completely compromised. The plaster lining has to be replaced because there are cracks so that are leak leaking behind the plaster. The entire filter and heater are compromised. Everything has to be replaced.

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.

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.

On our first home inspection, Jeff Shankle really went above and beyond! The home had been recently…read moreflipped and the interior was immaculate -- but when Jeff went over it with a fine tooth comb, his inspection revealed some troubling corners that had been cut (deferred maintenance issues, like root balls in the sewer and galvanized plumbing, but also incorrectly vented bathroom plumbing and other difficult to spot issues that needed to be addressed.) We were so grateful for his patience and expertise, and believe me when I say we *really* peppered him with questions. He enjoys teaching and sharing his experience with others, and even encouraged us to reach out to him afterwards if we had more questions. After the first sale fell through, we made an offer on a different property and requested Jeff to come inspect that one, too. Once again, he took his time to carefully review his findings with us. I love DIY home projects so I especially appreciated his tips on which repair items he would do himself and why. If you're interested in learning more about how homes are built, how to maintain and care for an older home, or just generally want to improve your confidence and competence as a homeowner, I definitely recommend Elite and Jeff Shankle in particular.

Top-Notch Home Inspection Service!…read more I had a fantastic experience working with Raz, the phenomenal home inspector. 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.

Had a crawlspace concern and honestly wasn't sure where to begin or who to contact first…read more I wanted to make sure addressing the actual source of the problem instead of finding someone just to treat the symptoms, so finding someone knowledgeable was really important to me.
