A professional Home Inspection is a valuable investment. Analysis of the property conducted by a trained, experienced and completely objective professional home inspector can identify problems and non-functioning systems. Having this information before you purchase, sell, repair or remodel can return many dividends, both financial and emotional. Call Kretzschmar Inspection today for your detailed home inspection!

"Conrad was an excellent choice for our home inspection. He responded to our online request and took our call answering our general questions prior to the inspection. He arrived promptly at the time of inspection. As first time homebuyers, we brought our family to the inspection. He was kind and approachable. At the end of the inspection, he walked us through the house and shared his findings and suggestions. He took the time to answer our questions and provided a copy of the report the next day. The report included pictures with arrows, signaling the point of damage. We’re very happy with our experience and would recommend him to anyone looking to inspect their home."

"I worked with Alpha once before, and they assisted with a second project 2 years ago which, now finally completed, I'm able to write a review about. Alpha helped with structural plans for windows in a garden level unit in order to prepare the proposal for city approval. Alpha is a big company and it took them a little while to complete everything; however I can certainly say that the engineer and contact people were knowledgeable and thorough. The plans were approved with their help and now that the unit is permitted for occupancy, the windows are a lovely attribute to the space."

Since launching his real estate journey in 1979 in the heart of Burbank, California, Brad has consistently elevated himself as a distinguished and deeply trusted figure in the greater Los Angeles real estate landscape. His name echoes through many communities, synonymous with excellence, thanks to an unwavering stream of enthusiastic referrals, brilliant ad campaigns, and a celebrated track record of selling homes faster—and for more money—than clients dared to imagine. Brad's success in one of America's most competitive markets stems from his commitment to a perpetual learning curve. Guided by the mantra "focused on what matters to you," he has achieved remarkable milestones. From helping clients build robust retirement incomes through income and investment properties to facilitating 1031 trade-ups and navigating the sale and purchase of residential properties spanning from family homes to luxury estates, equestrian properties, and other unique offerings. Recent accolades from the Wall Street Journal and Real Trends further solidify Brad Korb Real Estate Group's position among the top 1,000 real estate teams in the U.S. This achievement is a testament to Brad's leadership, supported by a handpicked team comprising 2 listing specialists, 8 buyer specialists, and 5 administration experts. Notably, his team includes his wife of 32 years, Nancy; their daughter, Courtney; and their son, Tyler. Beyond the transactional success of helping over 1,500 families with their real estate needs, Brad is a cherished member of his community. His generosity extends to vital causes, including the YMCA and numerous school, music, art, and sports programs. For an insider's look into Brad's real estate insights and endeavors, explore his social media presence on YouTube: Brad Korb Real Estate Channel. Discover a legacy built on trust, expertise, and a genuine commitment to what matters most. ??

"Brad and his team are amazing! As a first time homebuyer, I had lots of questions, and they were always just a phone call (or text) away. They made the process accessible, easy to navigate and helped us find our forever home! Heather is a star, and Brad made sure we felt supported throughout the entire purchase process. Generous with their many resources, they made our home buying process as painless as possible. I highly recommend Brad Korb and team!"

When shopping around for a Home Inspector, it is easy to be persuaded by fancy websites, credentials, having a contractor’s license (let’s not talk about contractors), and an inspector’s years of experience. Even though a Home Inspector may have 20 years of experience under his/her belt, it does not guarantee that you will receive a thorough inspection (may be the worst inspector with experience?). What should really stand out is an inspector’s undeniable knowledge with certifications and education. Some questions one should ask before selecting a home inspector are, “What is the inspector basing all their findings upon?” and “What does he or she really know?” Here in California, the BIBLE is Title 24 the CBC (California Building Code). Home Inspectors (like myself) DO NOT perform code inspections, but who do you want for your Inspector; someone with years of experience and other credentials that may be insignificant, or someone who is CODE certified just like the city/county/jurisdictional inspectors that come out when you have permits signed off? Yes, I know that California is on a 3-year code cycle and that as of January 1, 2017, GFCI protection shall be provided for outlets that supply dishwashers installed in dwelling unit locations [2016 California Electrical Code Title 24 Part 3, 210.8(D)]. If you don’t understand or are not familiar with the CODES, how can you perform a competent and complete inspection?

"Mike did an incredible escrow home inspection for us. It's common for reviewers to reiterate his thoroughness, which is true, but an element my family appreciated, that we don't see mentioned often, is his thoughtfulness. Considering his inspection can take a fair amount of time, Mike brought with him a cooler full of drinks, snacks, tools, and chargers that he insisted we use at our leisure. Given that home buying experience can be very hectic, we were so appreciative of this as we'd forgotten a few essentials on our way over to the home the day of the inspection, e.g. enough to drink and a tape measure. :-) Thank you, Mike. Should we buy another home in the future, we know exactly who to call!"

"Gerald inspected our house when we bought it. When we remodeled it a few years later I called Gerald to see if he could take a look at things before I made the final payment to the contractor. He was happy to help and found some important things that I never would have seen on my own. I can't recommend Gerald's services more highly. He is thorough and knowledgeable and shows real concern for the people he works with."

Home Inspection questions, answered by experts

Annual inspection prevents leaks, blockages, pressure issues, or other problems from developing.

You should schedule a fireplace inspection at least once a year, per the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA). However, this is the minimum requirement even if you’re diligent with fireplace maintenance between uses. If you suspect your fireplace is malfunctioning, schedule one sooner to avoid fire hazards or the release of harmful emissions like carbon monoxide in your home.

Typically, a local home energy auditor is responsible for performing energy audits. A home energy auditor will conduct one of three energy audits designed by the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating, and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) to determine the energy efficiency of your home. The auditor often provides analysis that can help guide changes and improvements to your home for better energy efficiency, giving recommendations as necessary.

Yes, professionals use chimney cameras to detect hidden damage and blockages.

Federal law doesn’t require homeowners to disclose the presence of asbestos in their home, but some states and local municipalities may require it. That is why it’s important to test an older home for asbestos and other health hazards before moving forward with a sale.
