Golden State Home Inspections did a full home inspection on a home my wife and I purchased back in August. However, he missed something that I thought a home inspector would be able to catch but he missed it because he didn't want to climb into the attic. RESPONSE FROM Golden State Home Inspections: I have contacted the client on this matter to find out what was missed as I had not been previously contacted. The home inspection actually took place on June 27 2013. I was told that there was some live knob and tube wiring in the attic. In the report I indicated that there was insulation over knob and tube wiring that appeared to have been abandoned but, to make sure it was further evaluated by a licensed electrician before any action was taken. After living in the house for awhile, someone had discovered that some of the wires were in fact live. I apologized for the oversight as we try to make every effort to discover defects or possible hazards, however we did recommend further evaluation by a specialist and I did not find out about this until six months later. I also let him know that if I was notified of this issue earlier, I would have returned to re-inspect free of charge. As for the part about not entering the attic; the report clearly includes several pictures of the inside of the attic at different locations along with pictures of the knob and tube wiring. I do appreciate the reviews by all of my customers as it is important to get feed back both positive and negative to better exceed our clients expectations. Thank you again Colin for your business. more

Golden State Home Inspections did a very thorough job--extremely thorough, in fact. Their employees were very professional and spent a lot of time on the inspection. They didn't just rush in and rush out. They were very knowledgeable and very reliable. You will not regret having contacted them. We had a worry-free experience! more

I have used GSHI in the past for the first home I had found for my father and now for his second home purchase. First time I've set an appointment with Craig, second time with Joe. Both experiences were satisfactory. Scheduling is very easy (via website is what I used) and I was able to schedule something right away and this is very important because the buyers only have certain many days to take care of a lot in order to make sure this is the right property. They both took their time, wasn't rushed. Their goal is to present problems without scaring the buyers off (unlike some inspectors). I really appreciated that. Sometimes a problem can be so minor and typical for the age of the home but if it's presented in the wrong manner they buyer will not be at peace. At the end of the inspection, the buyer will receive a detailed report as soon as it's put together (in my case it was never longer than a day). My second home inspection (again for my father) was with Joe and my real estate agent was really impressed with his professionalism and knowledge- had nothing but good things to say. Overall, this was a great experience, a nice way to be informed about the details of them home; Highly recommended. Will certainly use them again! more

I liked what Craig from Golden State Home Inspections did. He took pictures of the problem areas, so it is really easy for me to go back and see what he's talking about in the report. He put the construction terminology into easy-to-understand language. I would recommend Craig to do a home inspection for anybody. He went around and did his thing and then answered my questions. No matter how silly they were, he took the time to answer them. Not only did he take pictures of the problem areas, he also walked me around to show me where they were. I'm a visual learner, so that really helped me out. more

I have had a home inspection done before by a different company, and I found Golden State Home Inspections to be far more superior. The inspection was incredibly thorough. They took high quality digital pictures that really helped me understand what they were describing in the inspection report. The inspectors were terrific and punctual. After having a bad experience with another inspection company, I'm not about to go shopping around again. I'm very satisfied with Golden State Home Inspections. more

I had a rushed time frame, I had left them a message then went online and tried to schedule an appointment. Craig called me back on Saturday and we were able to schedule the appointment for Tuesday, so it was pretty quick. I appreciated that. He was punctual to the appointment, which I appreciated. He took the time to explain everything at the end of the process. more

I met the inspector and walked around with him for a while. I got his feedback on various issues that he saw, and had him walk me through and explain things. I also got the report he sent to me. more

Golden State Home Inspections inspected the inside and outside and roof of a home we were considering purchasing. We ended up purchasing the home because they explained to me in clear language the condition of the home. more

Craig was fabulous. He wasn't impatient, I'm sure a lot of other people want to hover over him while he does his job but he didn't mine and was really helpful. He was really detail oriented and gave me information about what was going on. He covered all the basis and I'm confidfent he did the job I hired him to do. The price was right too, a lot of people who aren't even credentialed would charge two times as much as him. more

Their communication was great the entire time. They were very thorough with their inspection. Both my husband and I very much enjoyed working with them. more
