"Exceptional Roofing Service!" I had the pleasure of working with Specialty Inspections, and they truly went above and beyond. Their detailed inspection revealed critical issues that, if ignored, could have jeopardized the integrity of my roof. Here's what impressed me: 1. Thorough Assessment: Specialty Roofing meticulously examined every aspect of my roof. Their report highlighted several key problems: o Cracked Tiles: They identified numerous cracked tiles that required replacement. o Valley Debris: Debris in several valleys was affecting proper drainage. o Transition Seals: Broken transition seals needed urgent attention. o Rake Tiles: A few unsecured rake tiles were addressed promptly. o Collars: Collars around the plumbing vent tiles had split apart and were promptly fixed. 2. Customer Focused Professionalism: The team's expertise and attention to detail were evident throughout the process. They didn't just quickly fix the obvious issues; they proactively addressed potential problems. 3. Quality Workmanship: Their work was extremely high quality. They didn't rush through the job, but rather, took the time necessary to do things properly. It really instilled confidence that things were getting done right! Kudos to my roof technician Clay F. - knowledgeable, professional, excellent communicator and stickler for repairing things perfectly! 4. Excellent Communication: They patiently explained the findings and the steps needed to ensure my roof's longevity. If you're looking for reliable roofing services and great value, l highly recommend Specialty Inspections (Roofing). They truly care about putting their focus on the customer.

If you are looking for a quality firm to handle any home inspection or home repairs needs you may have I highly recommend Specialty Inspections in downtown Pleasanton. I recently bought a home in Pleasanton and my agent recommended Specialty for our home inspection. They were so easy to work with. The owner, Mark Kearns came out to review the home and made several recommendations of repairs that I didn't even notice needed to be done. The seller was in agreement with all that was found to be in need of repair. They formulated a very detailed estimate that was easy to understand and performed the work quickly and with great professionalism allowing for a very easy transaction. This is the 4th home I have bought over the past few years but my first experience using Specialty. I can tell you I would never use anyone else. I have always been a little suspect of home inspection/termite repair companies since my previous experiences have included sloppy and over priced work as well as a lack of professionalism. Not with these guys....Specialty Inspections is the company to use for any and all of your home inspections needs. Way to go Mark!!! read more

One of the realtors in Walnut Creek recommended Jonathan Van Hoy from Specialty Inspection . We just needed the service for routine check . We had a few small areas affected by dry rot and wanted to get these repaired . I want to make this review short and productive for reviewers who are considering to use this company. This company is HORRIBLE. They are so good at emailing you unlawful invoices for work and hours they claim they have done but they never did. Do NOT ever trust them . When I asked them to refund the $ 400 credit that I have with them , they declined to do that because I refused their bid on repair of areas they recommended. Their bid was over $ 6000 and I got it fixed by others for $ 1200. I also realized that Specialty Inspection uses cheap materials. I spoke with different people from the company regarding the issues we had with them . Everybody gives a different narrative . They don't seem to communicate among each other. PS. The cheesy thing is that they offer you $ 15 if you write a positive yelp review . read more

Recently used their services very satisfied with them. First was for general inspection before buying the house. Our inspector was Pete Scales. He was very helpful, answered my questions, explained the issues and gave good suggestions. I was so impressed with them that later on I had then come out and do an estimate for Termite and Rot at well. Again the inspector Ken who came out was amazing. He explained what was going on and what needed immediate attention. I had then do some of rot and termite related work. The technician was Ananias and another person (cant remember his name). They were great. Cleaned up after them, explained everything that they were doing, just people you could trust and be comfortable having inside your house. The office staff Vanessa and Margot are very helpful and patient too. You have a customer for life. In the future I will definitely call them when needed. Thank you for your great service. read more

I scheduled an appointment to have my section 1 requirements fixed. Not only did they come on time, they arrived earlier than expected! I had to step away from the house for a bit, so I felt bad when I had to make them wait however long they were here before 9am. I had two people come by to do the work, one is Carlos and the other one I forgot his name but it started with the letter A. Mr. A thoroughly walked me through what is supposed to be fixed. As the new owner of the house, I was supposed to have remove my gated door for them to fix my interior door. But I didn't read the inspection report properly prior to them coming and they were able to do that for me and put it back on like it was never off to begin with. They did an amazing job and helped me lock all doors after they were done since I wasn't at the house with them. Thank you again! read more

We hired Specialty Inspections for roof repair. A substantial rain period during the spring season brought about a water leak that started trickling from ceiling to floor in one corner of my home. Due to Covid and shelter in place order, we hesitated in bringing a contractor in. By the fall season, we knew we had to get the problem fixed. We went thru a few contractors, who quoted us outrageous estimates, recommending unnecessary work. We chose Specialty Inspections because they were the most honest. Their roof foreman Mike Brookes came out to bid. He was very professional, detailed, and communicated clearly the scope of work that needed to be done. He came out a week later to complete the roof work quickly and thoroughly. Overall, a very positive experience and I would hire them again. read more

Specialty inspected the home we purchased and I called them about a month later to do a few roof repairs noted on their inspection. I had been on the roof earlier and agreed that the repairs were valid. The repairman was on time, knowledgeable, and did good work. I was with him on the roof most of the time to learn what I could about the roof condition, what to keep an eye on and he was very good to talk with. Found out squirrels like to chew on soft metal to sharpen their teeth. I appreciated him looking over the entire roof and the before photos from the inspection and the after repair photos to document the work. I would recommend Specialty for inspections and follow-up repairs as I thought they did both very well and at a fair cost with a warranty on the work. read more

I was very pleased and impressed with the service I received from Specialty Inspections. After my initial contact, they promptly came to my home and provided a detailed free estimate of the dry rot repairs I had requested. I was provided a fair and reasonable quote. I agreed to the price and scope of work and I was then contacted by the Field Superintendent. He set up a mutually convenient day for the work to be performed. He advised me that the crew would be at my home at 9:00am and that is when they showed up. They got right to work and completed the project within the day. Prepped, primed and painted. Even did some additional painting which I did not expect. Overall a great contractor! read more

As a first time home buyer, the Specialty team was outstanding. They were on time (roof, chimney, crawl space, termite, & electrical) and all began inspecting the home with no time wasted. They were able to provide a rather thorough verbal report of the inspection and even walked me and my realtor through a couple of the troubled areas (pending the formal write up & repair quote costs). I do not have any prior experience with other home inspection companies to benchmark them against, but once again very thorough team that made me feel comfortable with their transparency of the verbal report. Thank you again Specialty team! Alan read more

I had a very positive experience with Specialty Inspections. Roof inspection conducted exceptionally thorough, including accessing both the roof and the attic to evaluate the framing. He provided a comprehensive estimate accompanied by photographs clearly identifying areas of concern. after closing on the home, I requested roof repairs to address minor issues. The repair technician was diligent, professional, and took the time to clearly explain the work performed. Additionally, the company offers a one-year no-leak warranty, which provides added peace of mind. I will provide a follow-up review after one year. read more

His 3 crew members who performed our work, did a fabulous job, they arrived at 9:00 a.m. on the dot each day and always cleaned up before they left. This is my very first Yelp review I have ever written. Nancy H. read more

Specialty Inpections performed our roof, home, and pest inspections. The reports came back promptly and were easy to read. Two months later after we purchased the house, we called them back to do the repair work that they recommended. Scheduling repairs was easy. The foreman replaced the damaged sections of wood, painted with matching paint, and left the extra paint for us to have. The roof repair was also completed in a timely manner and comes with a two-year warranty against leaks. I would definitely recommend them. Disclaimer: They offer a $25 discount for a positive review. read more

At nearly 73 I've given up climbing up onto the second story of our steep roof to clean the gutters. Someone i knew recommended Specialty Inspections to do the job. Mike arrived on time to look at the job. He pointed out that a few ridge shingles were in bad shape. The next day I had an estimate that included the gutters, shingles and nailing a board that was coming loose. This was a small job so Mike said that they could squeeze it in quickly. A young man arrived on the agreed day in the time slot I was given. He was very courteous and did an excellent job. I will use them again. read more
