Westside Home Inspections

I've had about 4 prior home inspections done on other properties. I usually dismiss them--they tend to be done by franchisees with limited training who largely point out obvious things that I would find on my own--I want someone who can identify serious, non-obvious things (like structural problems).

Jose is a licensed contractor, so he could identify non-obvious things, prioritize them and provide a cost estimate to remedy them.

I was so pleased with him that I wanted to hire him immediately, but he informed me he was precluded by law from working on the property until 12 months had elapsed. That's the good news/bad news. Fortunately, I could afford to wait, so had him do the things I was most concerned about, but also some other things outside the inspection (a new fireplace).

Beyond doing impeccable work, Jose is extremely reliable, accommodating, neat (you never notice he's been there), and most importantly cost conscious. He actually obtained multiple estimates for most subcontracts, and when I suspected I could beat them, I was always proved wrong.

Can't say enough good about him!

I found the level of detail and service to be exceptional. Mr. Barrera spent many hours on the site and gave me a thorough understanding of the risks and potential costs to be expected from the property, both verbally and in a detailed written report. When I have had follow-up questions, he has been extremely accessible and accommodating. I find him to be very knowledgeable in all facets of construction and property maintenance. I will be sure to work with him again.
