"Bryan was recommended by our realtor for our inspection on our new construction home. Even though the home was newly built, it was still important to have an inspection done. It was very worth it too as Bryan pointed out issues we did not catch during our walk through with the builder. Bryan was very responsive to all of the requests the builders were requesting for him to do his work, he arrived on time and was extremely thorough in explaining what he found during his inspection. I highly recommend Figueroa Greens for your inspection needs."

"I recently had the pleasure of working with Golden Scope Inspections and I must say, my experience was outstanding. From the very beginning, they impressed me with their quick response to my inquiry. Despite the short notice, they were able to accommodate my schedule, which was greatly appreciated. The inspector, Marshall, was exceptional. His knowledge about city codes was evident and extremely helpful. Throughout the inspection, Marshall was not only respectful but also very thorough. He took the time to meticulously examine every aspect of my property, ensuring no detail was overlooked. What stood out the most was his willingness to explain his findings. He patiently walked me through each aspect of the report, offering valuable insights and guidance on how to address specific issues. Another highlight of my experience was the pricing. Considering the exceptional service provided, I found the cost to be very reasonable. It's rare to find such a combination of quality service, expertise, and affordability. I would not hesitate to use Golden Scope Inspections again in the future. In fact, I would do so in a heartbeat. Their professionalism, expertise, and customer service are commendable. I highly recommend Golden Scope Inspections to anyone in need of a reliable and thorough inspection service."

Customers say: True professional

"This was an appraisal of a older condominium unit in a gated Southern California beach community for a trust administration. Unusual in that Penny did not have access to interior of the unit she had to appraise. She was very thorough in her research of the complex, and inspected a similar unit that was on the market, in addition to reviewing prior sales records and condition of the unit she appraised. Her comps were very good and it was clear that she'd done her due diligence to discern the appropriate sales, given the three different areas of buildout in the complex. She made a balanced and fair valuation of the property which was important for me to have as the Trustee, and reported on her considerations in good detail."

"Carlton was great. He showed up on time, finished his on site inspection in about 30min for a 2 on 1 lot property. He provided the report within 1 week. Before setting up an appointment Carlton contacted me to pre-vet if the appraisal I was looking for was even possible for my property, this was very helpful and thoughtful."

Home Inspection questions, answered by experts

Generally, foundation cracks and repair are not covered by standard homeowners insurance policies. This type of damage is often considered normal wear and tear or a result of poor maintenance, which is the homeowner's responsibility. For example, damage caused by settling, shifting soil, or drainage issues is typically excluded.

However, there are exceptions. Coverage may apply if the foundation damage is a direct result of a covered peril, such as a house fire, a burst pipe, vandalism, or a vehicle accident. Coverage for natural disasters like earthquakes and floods often requires a separate, specific policy or add-on.

The same conditions that can generate creaking sounds in your home can also create a whole range of other sounds, many of which are just as strange. When the materials your house consists of move in any way and any amount, they can rub against each other or the fasteners that hold them in place. A random cracking sound from time to time is usually just a response to these movements.

Several government-backed lending programs can help first-time home buyers purchase a home with little money down. FHA, USDA, and VA loans are options for qualifying borrowers, though many conventional mortgage lenders will lower down payment rates to as low as 3 percent.

DIY is not recommended due to specialized equipment requirements. Professional services ensure accurate diagnostics.

Yes, in most cases, you can back out of your offer if you’re unsatisfied with something in the inspection. However, there is usually no recourse for doing so. The only exception would be if you waived the home inspection, a somewhat common practice to get your offer accepted in a highly competitive market. Waiving the home inspection doesn’t prevent you from getting an inspection, but you usually can’t walk away from the home after the inspection if there’s something wrong.
