"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."

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."

"We recently had a complete home inspection completed and were very pleased with the service. The inspector was professional, punctual, and thorough throughout the entire process. They carefully examined all major systems and clearly explained their findings in a way that was easy to understand. The inspection report was detailed, well organized, and delivered promptly. Their attention to detail gave us confidence in making informed decisions about the property. I would highly recommend to anyone needing a home inspection."

Home Inspection FAQs, answered by experts

It can be safe to live in a house with asbestos as long as the asbestos-containing materials are intact, in good condition, and not disturbed. Asbestos becomes dangerous only when its fibers are released into the air, which happens if the material is damaged, crumbling, or disturbed during renovation work. If you suspect asbestos is present, do not disturb it. Instead of removal, materials in good condition can sometimes be encapsulated. It is recommended to have regular professional inspections to monitor the condition of the asbestos and prevent health risks from potential exposure.

The cost of a home inspection varies depending on several factors. On average, you can expect to pay between $280 and $400, with a typical cost around $350. However, the full price range can be anywhere from approximately $187 to $510. The final cost is influenced by the home's size, age, condition, and location, as well as the inspector's experience and the depth of the inspection. Larger homes (e.g., over 2,000 square feet) and older homes typically cost more to inspect, as they may require checking for issues like structural deterioration or asbestos. The price may also increase if you need specialized services, such as asbestos testing, thermal imaging to detect infestations, or detailed checks for energy efficiency, structural integrity, or electrical problems. In most cases, the buyer pays for the home inspection. While it is an upfront cost, a thorough inspection can save you thousands of dollars in unexpected repairs.

Repiping your home creates a large mess, and you won’t have access to water while your contractors are working. To prepare, contractors will cover the floor and furniture with drop clothes. In some cases, they may move furniture to protect it and get it out of the way. They’ll then cut holes in your walls, floors, and ceiling to expose the existing pipes.

They’ll also turn off your water, but they’ll leave at least one bathroom and the kitchen functioning at the end of the day. You’ll need to plan accordingly.

There are a few things that can set off your carbon monoxide detector that aren’t an emergency. Low batteries or a malfunctioning system are usually the biggest culprits, but dust and dirt can build up on the sensor and cause issues, too. If you have a single unit that serves as both a carbon monoxide and smoke detector, extreme humidity (like the kind coming from a shower) can accidentally set it off. 

Any unexplained smell in your house should be investigated. However, some home odors are "red flag" worrisome because they pose immediate health and safety risks. Odors should be taken seriously when accompanied by headaches, nausea, or lightheadedness. If you smell an egg-like aroma, this is probably natural gas. You should leave the home immediately, and  contact your gas company.
