Building Specs Home Inspection

Justin met me at my condo unit to do the home inspection and arrived before me. Very professional, informative and encouraged me to ask questions. He used computer on site to go through check list including structural, all appliances and even gave me suggestions for upcoming maintanence. I am awaiting final report, however he summarized findings with me verbally prior to leaving unit. He even took extra time to help me do measurements of floor space for tile and of all windows and helped me to get together a priority list for improvements and necessary appliance replacements. Thank you for the wonderful manual you provided at the end… a Notebook complete with section for report and informative Do It Yourself manual in the back to help with minor improvements and safe money.
They were $ 50 more than competitive bid but well worth the professional information. I feel that I am making a wise decision and am ready for the future.

Rick inspected our soon-​to-​be house in Laguna Niguel this past Friday. I was new to the whole home inspection process, but Rick did a great job of highlighting what was important and making it simple to understand. Rick is knowledgable, personable and reliable. I highly recommend him!

Rick is amazing. He’s inspected 3 properties for me to date, two of which I ended up buying and one that he saved me from buying (major structural and pest problems). His reports are thorough and clear. He tells you everything you should know good and bad so that you can make an informed decision on what you are getting yourself into.

Rick recently inspected a home for us in Costa Mesa. Disaster averted! He was thorough, professional and reliable. I received the full report in the evening after his 4 hour inspection which ended at 5:30pm. The guy is a machine. He is without a doubt the best inspector I have used after six home purchases. I will not buy a home without Rick checking it out first. THANK YOU!!!

We bought our home «as is» as a condition of sale to get a great deal on a fixer. Thank goodness we had Rick come out to identify all the hazardous items we needed to have addressed before we settled into our «fixer» with our young son. He found a crack in the furnace which was hard to see but particularly hazardous, in addition to improper plumbing installations around all our hot water heaters, roof issues, and more. All in, the items we needed to address quickly did not break the bank and we still got a good deal on the house, but we also got peace of mind knowing that we identified everything that needed to be addressed quickly so we could fix everything else over time. Rick is very thorough and he will find everything there is to be found. I can’t recommend him highly enough.

I couldn’t recommend this company any more than I do. Honest, straightforward, and has more knowledge of any company I have worked with in the industry. I am a Real Estate Broker and whenever I am buying a home for a friend or family member I call Building Specs. The reports that they generate are detailed, thorough, and very easy to navigate. They are a little more expensive than the rest of the inspection companies out there… but they are worth EVERY PENNY.
Whenever I have an inspection I ask for Rick Yerger. He is thorough beyond words and explains everything in a manner that is easy for my clients to understand. He takes time during the inspection to stop and explain even the smallest of issues, and finds items that we couldn’t have even imagined. He explains what is normal in the age of the house he inspects and what is out of the ordinary. He lets you know what the major concerns are and why they are major. I will continue to use Building Specs and I tell all of my agents that this is the company to use when you care about your buyers.
Bottom line: Use these guys. If your Realtor does not suggest Building Specs then ask why not. It is your money and you should get the best. USE THESE. GUYS.
