I recently called John with a question, for a consult on remediation practices for my own line of…read morework in construction. But I also wanted to speak with him on a personal level. Because John and I, we go back several years, having first met in 2014, when as a leasing agent, he helped my family and I find a house in Orange County. He also helped consult for a legal case involving mold, that directly impacted my family and I, back in 2017 and 2018. So he's been doing this for awhile now. And I've been recommending him for awhile as well, so much so, that it was a bit surprising to me that I hadn't yet written a review for his business. Following John's lead in mold remediation, I'll remedy my own lack of follow-through with this recommendation. I work as an estimator for a concrete construction firm in the Central Valley. For two years, I was also the Assistant HR and Safety Manager here at my current place of employment. I worked for the City of Modesto in the Public Works Department for 5 years, and a total of 10 years for government agencies. So I'm a bit of a stickler for facts, evidence, and policy. And I'm big on safety. And aside from John being a man of integrity, a man of his word, honest, upfront, and as professional and hard-working as they come, John is too. John likes safety. And he likes the facts. He likes investigating problems, and finding solutions. And he likes it when he can help other people with solutions as well. He also likes it when construction is up to code, when OSHA regulations are followed, and safety standards are met, and exceeded. And his experience doesn't end there. He's reviewed and studied cases and outcomes so he knows how vital mold remediation is to tenants, landlords, and property owners and is an expert in his field. He has experience in both mold remediation and case mediation. He's straight-forward and honest, and if there's an issue with mold he'll address it. This review is a blend of my personal and professional experience with John, and hopefully the personal aspect of that isn't to his detriment. It's because of my personal experience and my family's personal experience with John that I'm leaving this review. Because we not only know his skill in his profession and his outstanding business practices, but also, we know his character. And when those two aspects meet, the result is 5 solid stars.

after seeing john's response, i have to point out that it's strange he's accusing me (and others)…read moreof reviewing him without using his services, when he didn't actually give me (us) the opportunity to use them, instead shouting at us that we're foolish for even requesting them. also, i still don't know what IIRIC or whatever is. all i know is that it's strange that someone billing himself as an environmental tester berates potential customers for... requesting environmental testing. i mean, maybe others will have better luck with him, but this was my experience, and i think anyone can tell from my review history that i tend to rain praise upon businesses more often than not.

I made the mistake of trusting mine when she recommended them for my condo inspection... lesson learned. The water heater didn't even work, yet somehow the inspector missed it--so I spent my first three weeks bonding with cold showers. The warranty company wouldn't cover it since the issue existed before I moved in. On top of that, I had to replace both toilets right away. Somehow they missed that too. Of course, when I contacted them, they denied any responsibility and took zero accountability for their mistakes. All in all, I would definitely not recommend them, especially if they're being suggested by your real estate agent.

Don't bother hiring these guys unless you want a bunch of stuff missed on your inspection! EDIT AFTER OWNER RESPONSE: I've added pictures.

My review is not malicious, it is my opinion based on the service I received. Stop making excuses for the lack of detail your inspector gave when inspecting my home. This was present and visible during the inspection, he just didn't pay close enough attention.

I was purchasing an older home in Long Beach and I was worried that I was making a bad decision but there just isn't that many homes for sale in the area where I want to live. These guys were fast and efficient and totally professional and the inspector showed up early, gave an amazing summary at the end of the inspection and explained every little detail including significant findings I needed to be aware of right away. I received a very detailed report loaded with pictures and recommendations that clearly laid out everything I needed to know from basic maintenance to urgent safety issues. I was able to move forward with my home purchase with a much better understanding of exactly what I needed to budget for as well as which items were more urgent that could be negotiated with the sellers for repair. If you want a solid inspection that will put your mind at ease hire this company. Not to mention the fact that the entire staff is very professional, kind and organized. I would use them again and again on a future purchase! Thank you Home Inspection Experts you guys deserve 10 stars!!!

The area behind the shower was saturated with moisture and needed to be properly dried out before the shower could be rebuilt and new valves installed. Carlos Albanez, the project manager, was outstanding to work with. He kept us informed every step of the way, communicated clearly, and made the entire process smooth and stress-free. The office staff was equally pleasant and efficient, providing all necessary quotes and paperwork promptly. We were working under a very tight time frame, and Restoration Heroes completed the job on time exactly as promised. Their professionalism, responsiveness, and reliability truly stood out.

He and his partner do all of the work themselves, so you know exactly who you're dealing with from start to finish. He took care of my home as if it was his own, and was responsive, transparent and communicative throughout the entire process. Having never gone through this before, it was important to me to have someone who I felt like I could trust and would give the information to me straight, and I found that in Hansel. Even when it became a larger project with more days than anticipated, they added on a 12 hour Saturday work day and put in all of the time it took to resolve the issue in my home. His prices were competitive, and he sent us a certificate of completion at the end.

Hansel was extremely detailed, responsive, professional, and communicative every step of the way. He constantly kept me updated and always took the time to explain everything clearly. During the process, he even stayed late to help locate the source of a water leak, showed me video footage of the issue, and guided me on the next steps needed to properly address it. His honesty and attention to detail made a difficult situation much more manageable. I also obtained estimates from other companies, and Hansel's pricing was very fair and reasonable for the amount of work performed and the level of service provided. He also referred us to excellent companies and professionals to help with the reconstruction work afterward, including rebuilding cabinets and repairing the opened walls after remediation was completed. The work was completed thoroughly, and the property successfully passed clearance testing. I truly appreciate all of Hansel's hard work, professionalism, guidance, and care throughout this entire process. Highly recommend.
