He explained everything in detail as he went, and he was extremely thorough. What I appreciated most was that he was always careful to give his recommendations and observations in context (what problems were urgent and which weren't so important). There are an overwhelming number of issues that come up during a home inspection, so this real-time prioritization was very, very appreciated. If a first time buyer's perspective isn't good enough for you, I should also mention that my agent was extremely impressed with him, along with my dad (a real estate veteran) who reviewed his report. Speaking of Gerald's report, it was clearly laid out, easy to read, and had the perfect amount of detail. Gerald also does a great job of following up and talking you through his recommendations. I really can't recommend Gerald more highly. Stop searching and give him a call!

He was there before I arrived and got to work immediately inspecting the property from roof to basement. He explained things to me along the way when I followed him around to have a better understanding of what the issues with the property were. His report was exactly how you want an inspection report to look - extremely detailed. He differentiated between what was a serious issue and needed immediate attention to what was just minor issues. I can't begin to tell you how important this is when you are considering a home inspector. Long after the inspector is gone all you have is that report and when you are trying to figure out which repairs you need to tackle and in which order it is so important to be able to refer to it for guidance and to really understand what the severity of the issues are. The report was so concise that I feel I have a real clear understanding of how I need to proceed and in the order of repairs. The only issue I had with him is when I emailed him a question regarding the report he took a week to get back to me and that is after I emailed him again to remind him I sent him the first email. Other than that I would say his inspection was terrific and I would definitely use him again and recommend him to everyone for a home inspection. By comparison I want to share an experience I had with another inspector.
I was originally going to go with another well rated home inspector A Thorough Guy until he sent me a copy of a home inspection report for reference. He did do a thorough job of listing a bunch of things that were wrong with the property but there was no differentiation between major and minor issues. Everything look the same in terms of importance. I asked him about this and whether or not he made any distinctions between major and minor issues and what needs to be taken care of right away in the report. His reply was to tell me that different people have different priorities for fixing things and what is important to one person may not be important to another. I told him that may be true but it is important to at least understand the severity of any issue and to differentiate a minor electrical issue from something that may burn down the house. He went on to tell me his own home was basically not up to today's standards and that some of the issues that are present in his home were considered risks but he didn't change them. He then went on to reassure me that I would not leave without knowing what items were major vs minor even though that would not be indicated in the report. About a half an hour after sending me this message he sent me an email saying that he didn't think he was the right inspector for me and that he wouldn't be doing my inspection. Well that was really unprofessional of him but actually in the end he was right. He wasn't the right inspector for me. Any inspector who doesn't do a detailed inspection report to allow the prospective home buyer to be able to read it and understand what the severity of issues are and what needs immediate priority is not the inspector for me. I can't say that he doesn't do a good job at what he does but I can say I have seen a copy of his inspection report and it is not very detailed. It will leave any lay person such as myself having to continually question what each of the items are in the report. I don't know if he sits down with his clients after the inspection and goes over everything but even if he did I don't want to have to take notes after my inspection. I want to know that my inspector has already done all of that for me and I don't have to rely on my college note taking skills for each and every item on the report."},"url":"https://www.angi.com/companylist/us/ca/la-mirada/csi%3A-california-structure-inspectors-reviews-6294233.htm"},"position":10}]}

"My son helped me find a Chimney Sweep company in Huntington Beach.
I’m so glad he booked the service with Chimney Sweep Masters as everything was beyond excellent and the overallservice was amazing. Jonathan and Ido did a great job replacing the Chase Cover on my fireplace and installed two new caps as well as a third cap on my Masonary brick chimney.
A big plus was to find out that Jonathan is a licensed general contactor. He was able to provide me with information and pricing on some small and medium size projects I've been planning to get to around the house and he recommended a few other things for the future.
All in all great service highley recommended!!! I'm expecting them to do some additional work for me in the coming weeks in my kitchen and some drywall and paint work."

"I contacted Roland from ASAP when I had a leaky faucet. He came out and quickly assessed the leak and was in the process of repair when I told him that I was considering remodeling the unit.

FAQs for chimney inspection projects in Bellflower, CA
The average cost for a professional chimney cleaning is around $250, but prices range from $130 to $400 or more, depending on a few factors. Some things that have an impact on your total include the size of your chimney, the number of chimneys cleaned, and how accessible the chimneys are.
The cost to install a fireplace is $2,440 on average. This cost can range from $150 to $8,000 or more, depending on the type of fireplace, the materials used, and the size.
Electric fireplaces cost around $1,000 to install, and mostly only require wiring installation.

In addition, gas fireplaces can cost between $2,500 and $10,000.
The National Fire Prevention Agency (NFPA) recommends chimney sweeping once per year as a means of avoiding house fires and massive property damage. Over time, creosote and soot build up in your chimney from burning wood and a lack of ventilation. These compounds are both highly flammable, which means a build-up of them inside your chimney puts you at an increased risk of house fire. Chimney sweeping removes any residue and helps reduce the risk of property damage and personal injury from fire.
