I worked with Cole on a home inspection for a property on Peregrine Way in Auburn, and I couldn't have been more impressed! He delivered a detailed and easy-to-follow report, caught important details without being alarmist, and explained everything to my client in a calm, professional way that really built confidence. The turnaround was fast, communication was excellent, and his expertise showed through every step of the process. As a real estate agent, I truly appreciate inspectors who educate rather than intimidating...he did exactly that. Highly recommend! read more

We recently worked with Cole for a home inspection and couldn't be happier with the experience. From start to finish, Cole was thorough, professional, and incredibly knowledgeable. He meticulously inspected every part of the property and provided a detailed and well-organized report that clearly explained all of his findings. What stood out the most was how he took the time to walk us through everything in simple, easy-to-understand language--something that really helped us as first-time home buyers. read more

I'm currently in the process of purchasing a new home in Nevada City, CA, and recently had the pleasure of working with Cole Temple from Signet Home Inspections. I highly recommend Cole and his services. Cole showed a thoroughness and attention to detail that left me very impressed. He quickly identified a number of minor defects that I would never have caught myself and outlined exactly how these defects would impact the property moving forward. His ability to spot these issues, and diligently answer all my questions, speaks volumes about his expertise and experience in the field. He took the time to explain each of his findings in clear terms, and made sure I was aware of the impact behind all of his findings. His professional and polite nature made the entire process feel informative, easy, and valued. In short, I would not hesitate to recommend their services to any prospective homebuyer. read more

Recently, my buyers scheduled Signet Home Inspections to inspect the Grass Valley home they are buying. I was very impressed with his attention to the details of the house. At the end of his inspection, he went over everything he found so my clients understand what they are buying. His written report with pictures made it easy for my buyers to know what needs attention. I have been a realtor for 15 years so have a lot of experience with inspectors. This is one I will recommend to future clients. Susan Kelly read more

Kevin and Cole at Signet Home Inspections set the bar for all other Home Inspectors to rise up to. Unfortunately, most can not touch them and the level of attention and care they bring to their inspections. They are thorough, personable, efficient, professional and considerate. They are not alarmists and do not just add things to their inspection reports to fluff & bulk up their submissions -- like some inspectors do. Need a rock-solid inspection company for a pre-listing inspection, an inspection during a purchase, new construction/old construction assessments, and more??? . . . look no further, Signet is your company! read more

Professional service, on time and the report was returned in a timely manner. I will hire them again and definitely recommend them. Thank you! Well done! read more

I am a real estate lawyer by profession, and a licensed real estate broker, so I've seen a LOT of home inspection reports over the years. Kevin's was the most thorough and most relevant I've ever seen. He really drilled down on the important issues, not filling his report with trivia and boilerplate. A very thorough inspection, I am impressed. read more

We were extremely impressed with Kevin's inspection. His professionalism and attention to detail are two things that really stood out. He provided us with a well organized report (67 pages) that detailed his findings from the inspection. I would recommend Kevin with Signet Home Inspections to anyone buying a home. Kevin was always available when we called him and scheduling was a breeze online. A+ organization read more

Great customer service. Very honest...we asked for more tests. He explained why we would not need them, but left it up to us if we really wanted the tests or not. Highly recommend them read more

Had a great experience with Signet. On time to the minute even though they were in a different county than they usually operate. I highly recommend them. Ken read more

Kevin did a great job inspecting a home for my buyer. I was a contractor for 16 years before becoming a realtor and know the real deal when I see it. Very thorough and yet not alarming. Everything that he called out in his observations was legit. When I recommend or refer a vendor to a client I want them to fell comfortable and confident that I have vetted them out for price, accuracy and reliability. Kevin and the Signet group are all that. Thank you Kevin for an outstanding job! read more

We received a call from Kevin (subject of our review) of Signet Home Inspections LLC requesting a call back regarding the negative experience we had with his service. He believes that all the items that he missed (according to us) weren't: that if we would re-read the review we would see that he had noted all the problems that (later) we had to fix. We did read his inspection report. And, the report mentioned nothing about the problems that surfaced after we bought the property (e.g. no hot water, water treatment system failing resulting in shower heads that were blocked/inoperable, a furnace that died the first time we used it, 45 failed windows, refrigerator condenser failing, dishwasher inoperable, dry rot that was obvious to an untrained eye). These are problems that any contractor with five years of experience would have tested for and been honest about reporting. We stand by our review. We hope it has provided a public service to other buyers. This company was not reputable for us. And (so far) we have incurred over $70K replacing/repairing appliances and dry rot, all of which would have been noticed by any building inspector with expertise. We hope that other home buyers in Grass Valley will not have to experience the anguish and disappointment that we did. Buyers rely on building inspection services so they don't end up with a mess, like we did. read more

Signet Home Inspections is a great. They are quick to respond, knowledgeable, and honest. I've worked with Kevin and Matt many times and think they provide a great service! read more

Professional, friendly, thorough and absolutely willing to explain everything. Kevin's website is terrific, and the online appointment system is easy and quick, with rates upfront (and competitive!) and his work is worth every penny. The report was turned around quickly. His method of highlighting the seriousness of a problem with different-colored text is awesome; pest report folks could take a lesson from him on how to make a report easy to read and digest. Definitely a company you can trust when making possibly the single largest investment of your life. read more

I've used Kevin for 2 purchases this year and I have no doubt that he is the best in the business in Nevada County. Both reports left no item unchecked. Kevin is personable and approachable with an explanation of any defects he discovers. It's hard to hear bad things about a dream house, but for me, I rather go in knowing everything than have a surprise a few months later. There are very few tradespeople I can rave about, but Kevin is one, deservedly so. read more

Kevin and his associate did a great job on the 150 year old house we were thinking of buying. They were on time, explained everything to us, were honest about what they could not judge, and did a thorough report. We will definitely ask them to do our next inspection since we did not buy the 150 year old house in the end. read more

Cole was very thorough and was able to answer all my questions. He was on time and very easy to work with.

Signet accommodated me for a rush job. They were prompt, polite and thorough! I would definitely make them my first choice next time. Report was detailed and easy to read!! Super nice guy, too!! read more

The report that I received was very detailed and useful. Their website is very user-friendly for scheduling and bill pay. I highly recommend Signet and would utilize them again. read more

Kevin was great. Punctual, professional, and thorough. Strongly recommended!

Kevin recently inspected a home that I purchased. As a first time home buyer, I had a whole lot of apprehension and virtually no knowledge. He patiently walked me through his findings and even offered to return to check something out that he had identified on his report and the seller was supposed to fix but was not fixed properly (through no fault of his). Kevin is a great and thorough inspector who cares about his clients. I highly recommend him! read more

We met Kevin earlier this year when we had him inspect a home in Grass Valley that we were interested in buying. He immediately greeted us when we showed up and took the time to chat it up so we could understand his process. He left no stone unturned, walked us through his full report and along with lots of photos he explained everything to our satisfaction. We did not feel rushed at all, very competent in his craft. As it turned out we decided against that particular house and found another in Auburn. We requested him & only him for that inspection because we valued him & his work so much, Another great job and we ended up purchasing that house. I would contact him again or refer him to anyone needing an inspection. Fantastic job Kevin! read more
