Inspect The Best

This company did an inspection on a house that we are selling. I dont know where the inspector was trained on construction of a home but there is obviously something wrong when the inspector cannot tell the difference between paint and water damage. We spent close to ten thousand dollars on our house in the last year prepping it for sale. We replaced all of the damaged fascia boards and did our best to match the paint to the existing color. There is an obvious color difference that the inspecter claimed was water damage. WHAT? We just replaced it 11 months ago and painted it two months ago. Please tell me when did it rain that much to cause damage? How on earth could there be «water-​damage» on nearly brand new wood when there has been almost no rain in the last year? The picture of the report that showed «evidence» of water damage was just the mis-​matched paint.
Then went on to claim that two bathrooms need to be painted. WHAT? We just painted those in January/​February.
Then the inspector went on to claim that our AC unit was in dire need of servicing by a professional. Again, WHAT? It was serviced by a licensed AC installer/​repairman who we’ve used for the last several years. We replaced a part (not sure what because I dont have the paperwork in front of me) and serviced the unit last fall which cost us around $ 1000. But yet this inspecter claims that its in dire need of servicing.
The list goes on and on. Thanks to you guys you scared our buyer so much that our contract is about of fall out of escrow. My real estate agent (30 years plus experience) said it was one of the most ridiculous inspection reports he’s ever seen. And my agent was the one that sold us the house 6 years ago. The original inspectors report did not go so overboard and we’ve invested close to 50K into the house since we’ve owned it. Our agent also said that it’s inspectors like this that ruin real estate deals all the time.
This is why home inspectors should not be allowed to get training from weekend «schools» at the Marriott.

Five stars all the way. I’ve worked with Chris and Jaime for several years now and I wouldn’t work with anybody else. If you value an honest, dependable, and experienced home inspector, you must call Inspect the Best. Jaime and Chris are the Best!

Chris did an amazing job, at a great price on my home inspection that I was very happy with. I have since referred him to two family members that have also been more than happy with his service. When it comes to a home inspection, I know exactly who to call.

This «inspector» missed obvious things that cost me OVER $ 20,000. You read that right. Run away from this clown. I even wrote and let them know this and NOT a Word of reply. Disgusting!

I have used Chris multiple times and each time, I’ve been very happy with his work. As a former GC, Chris is very knowledgable about all the systems within a home and he’s great at explaining his concerns and what may need to be done to fix any damaged or improperly working systems.
ALWAYS early, super thorough, and an overall nice guy to have around.

I just used Inspect The Best for my house purchase in Valley Village it is a large home 2662 sq ft. Chris inspected every inch gave me a 73 page report. The report was clear and detailed. The first part of the report had the «action necessary» items then it had «service recommended repairs» He knows his stuff! From roofing, heating, electrical, plumbing, fireplaces, pool/​spa, etc you name it he knows. I felt totally confident in his abilities. I wish I could hire him to do all the repairs as well! I highly recommend Chris and this company to anyone looking to purchase a home. Rest assured he will do a good job and find all the problems big or small.

I’ve used Chris’s inspection on two occasions and both times he was forthright about the services and price and both times his quotes were the most reasonable. He was on time, thourough, super fast to turn around with the report and not to mention a real friendly and easygoing guy to deal with.

My wife and I plan to purchase our first home, and Mr. Chris Nash was our home inspector. Before we arrived at the property for the inspection appointment, he was already there scoping out the neighborhood. Low-​key, mild-​mannered, and humble was our impression of him. Once inside, he took about two and half hours to expect every corner of the property, methodically and focused. The home was in much poorer condition than we had initially anticipated, and his professional evaluation afterwards was extremely helpful and insightful. He later sent us a substantial and thorough report which highlighted all the faults with the property.
This individual knows his craft well, and we highly recommend his business. He saved us, literally, about $ 20,000 dollars with his report because the bank was forced to acknowledge that the foreclosed home had major defects.
Sometimes, you cannot thank someone enough for their positive contribution in your life. The only way you can do this nowadays is to write a review without bias and subjectivity. Mr. Chris Nash is a top-​notch professional and merits credit and recommendation.

Chris was awesome! I called Inspect The Best at the last minute to inspect a home I was looking to purchase and the owner Chris was available with days notice. Chris conducted a thorough inspection of every part of the home in ample time. After the inspection, Chris not only discussed his findings with me, but he also made himself available once he completed the inspection report to go over any questions I may have had. Chris was so good… I’m using Chris again for another home I’m purchasing.
He’s the right guy at the right price!

We had a pre-​sale home inspection done. Chris was awesome. His report was very thorough and so extremely well organized so that we could see what needed to be done immediately and what could be done later.
Our real estate agent was so impressed with the report that he immediately hired him for another inspection on a different property.
I am really picky and was very impressed with Chris’ inspection report — it was delivered via e-​mail the very next morning.
I highly recommend Inspect The Best.
