"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

Certified fire door inspectors should inspect fire doors. These professionals receive training to specifically assess the condition, functionality, and compliance of fire doors. They often hold credentials from groups like the Door and Hardware Institute (DHI) or the International Fire Door Inspector Association (IFDIA). While fire marshals won’t usually do hands-on inspections, they’ll check that doors are being maintained properly during routine safety audits. If a building relies on fire doors for code compliance, it needs someone who understands the details—the difference between a cosmetic issue and a safety failure—and standards to sign off with confidence.

The difference between an energy auditor and a home inspector is primarily in the purpose of the inspection. The energy auditor conducts tests in your home to determine the energy efficiency levels in areas like windows, insulation, and doorways. The auditor then makes recommendations for ways to improve a home’s energy efficiency. 

A home inspector examines various structures of your home to determine that everything is up to code and gauge the condition of features like the roof, foundation, HVAC, and electrical. The home inspector reports on the overall home and makes repair recommendations.

If your home has a forced-air HVAC system, it will also have HVAC duct parts. Air ducts are connected to an HVAC unit and deliver heated or cooled air to each room; your heating and AC wouldn’t work without ductwork.

However, if your house has a boiler or radiator system for heating and doesn’t have central AC, you probably don’t have ductwork installed.

Unless you waived the inspection contingency, you can often renegotiate after a home inspection and push for a lower sale price. The seller could reject the new price, offer to carry out the necessary repairs before closing, or offer a seller’s concession, which means they’d take money off the top of the sale price to cover the repairs after closing.

It is generally not safe to live in a house with smoke damage, as even minor damage can pose long-term health hazards and structural risks. While it might seem safe temporarily depending on the severity, you should relocate if there is major damage or visible soot. Smoke smells and residue contain dangerous particulates and chemical compounds, including carcinogens, that are hazardous to breathe and can cause respiratory issues. These signs of damage are not always visible but can have dangerous short-term and long-term effects on your health, belongings, and your home's structural materials. You should not stay in the house until a trained professional from a smoke remediation or restoration company has assessed the damage and determined it is safe to return. Your insurance company may cover the cost of alternative housing while the professional work is completed.
