My fiancé and I hired Brian and OC Home Inspect during our home-buying process in June 2026. We…read moreare grateful for the flexibility, attention to detail, and professionalism shown by Brian during the process. My first communication with OC Home Inspect was not through some third-party call center, or some automated phone tree, but with Brian himself who introduced himself and even was available for texting for any additional inquiries. His clear photos, explanations, and estimates provided a wealth of information to empower us during the negotiation process. He took his time post-inspection to explain his findings and properly triage the issues with us and our realtor. This was vital in creating a sense of confidence during the home buying process, impressing not only us but also our realtor. I would definitely recommend OC Home Inspect to any home buyers looking to make informed decisions during the process. Thanks once again!

Once again, he exceeded my expectations! Brian was punctual, incredibly thorough, and provided a detailed inspection report that gave me confidence in my purchase. He takes the time to explain his findings and is very knowledgeable and professional throughout the entire process. If you're looking for a reliable home inspector, I highly recommend Brian. He's the best home inspector I've worked with (let me tell you I've worked with many home inspectors in the past), and I'll definitely continue using him for any future home purchases.

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%.

With a strong knowledge of construction, having worked in it for years, his extensive knowledge allows him to communicate his findings seamlessly with other specialists you may need to look deeper into something. He takes his time to carefully inspect everything and clearly explains his findings and recommendations in laymen's terms, and is easily reachable to discuss his findings further, if any questions pop up . His attention to detail has always given my clients real peace of mind in their purchases. Couldn't recommend more!

He is extremely thorough, knowledgeable, responsive and takes the time to clearly explain his findings to both me and my clients. What I especially appreciate is how dependable and accommodating he is. He responds quickly, makes himself available when we need him and genuinely cares about the people he works with. Beyond being a great inspector, he's a wonderful family man and just an all-around great person. As a Realtor, having an inspector I can trust to take care of my clients and give them an honest, detailed assessment of a home is incredibly important. Elias has earned that trust, and I'm always comfortable recommending him for a general & sewer home inspection. Highly recommend CR Home Inspections!

My inspector Phillip Guarnieri was amazing.

He made sure to tell me everything he was checking out and the major things problems to look out for in a home. Phillip also let us follow him along for the inspection and made sure to call out even the smallest of problems, such as a leaky sink drain. I certainly believe I got what I paid for and would recommend his services to anyone.

Rated F on the Better Business Bureau--and honestly, that tells you everything you need to know…read more They don't seem too concerned about reviews, probably because most of their business comes through real estate agents. 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. This has nothing to do with the remodeling we are doing, these are the original floors when your inspector came to do the service. 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 have reason to believe the remediation company contaminated the rest of my home by not using negative air pressure and decontamination rooms. The main reason I picked Guaranteed was because of Demi's patience and abilities to answer my questions in a way that didn't leave me guessing if I'm picking the right company. Then I meet Joe when he came to do the inspection and his knowledge solidified my confidence that this was our guy. In an industry of predators, Joe made me feel like he had my back. We started out with Mold tests, then did an ERMI on the second round. He also seems to do everything by the books on case you need to document everything for legal reasons.

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.

It's clear he takes pride in his work. I highly recommend him to anyone needing a home inspection.
