We had San Diego Home Inspection, Inc. inspect our 3-bedroom home in Mira Mesa, and we couldn't be happier with the experience! Joe was friendly, professional, and incredibly thorough. He took the time to answer all of our questions and explain everything in a way that was easy to understand. The inspection report was detailed and delivered quickly, which made the whole process much less stressful. We highly recommend San Diego Home Inspection, Inc., and especially Joe, to anyone looking for a reliable and trustworthy home inspector!

Joe and Ryan gave us a great residential home inspection out here in Carlsbad, I am buying this house and Joe gave me a professional and in depth overview of all issues and everything about the house itself. The report was great and understandable through and through, and I have hired them before for properties in Chula Vista, Clairemont, Carmel Valley, and Mission Valley. I have had nothing but a good experience with them.

We recently had our home in West Ramona (San Diego) inspected by San Diego Home Inspection, Inc., and we couldn't be more pleased with the experience. Joe and Ryan were our inspectors and they did an incredibly thorough job from start to finish.

Joe took the time to carefully evaluate every aspect of the property and even used a drone to inspect the roof, which gave us added confidence that nothing was overlooked. His attention to detail really stood out.

The full report provided was extremely clear, organized, and detailed. It included comprehensive notes and pictures of everything he observed, along with straightforward explanations of what needed to be repaired, replaced, or further evaluated. We especially appreciated how clearly he outlined recommended next steps so we could prioritize items appropriately.

Joe and Ryan are professional, knowledgeable, and easy to communicate with. If you're looking for a thorough and reliable home inspector in the San Diego area, we highly recommend San Diego Home Inspection.

I wanted to take a moment to share my fantastic experiences with Joe from San Diego Home Inspection. Joe has become my go-to inspector for all my property transactions, and for very good reason! Whenever I call the office, they occasionally try to send a different inspector, but I always insist on having Joe. His utmost professionalism and thoroughness are always greatly appreciated by both my clients and me. Joe's ability to explain everything in detail ensures that the entire transaction process runs smoothly. His thorough analysis, well-explained findings, and the plethora of pictures that accompany his comprehensive Property reports keep my clients well-informed and confident about their decisions. What truly stands out about Joe is his patience and dedication. He takes the time to walk my clients through his findings, making sure they completely understand the condition of the home. Scheduling with Joe is always a breeze, and his quick report delivery is impressively efficient. I highly recommend Joe for anyone in need of a home inspection. He is fast, reliable, and an all-around great person to work with.

I'm a Realtor with approximately 20 years of experience. I'm always confident when my buyer clients select San Diego Home Inspection, Inc. to perform their home inspection. Both Joe and Ryan are very professional, ethical, knowledgeable, and do a very thorough inspection. They answer all questions raised by the buyer. Additionally, they treat agents, buyers, and sellers with the utmost respect! They truly understand client relationships! Joe also has his general contractor license, so his knowledge and expertise is more than what is required of a home inspector. Joe and Ryan have done a ton of home inspections for my clients and I have always been impressed. I would highly recommend them to anyone buying a home.

Joe came out and inspected the property. He was attentive and thoughtful as we discussed the house. He then proceeded to exceed our expectations on everything he did as he went through the process. Other inspections we had done didn't check slab level, nor provide as much detail on the roof as Joe did. Fair price, great service, and a timely return of the report. Very happy with San Diego Home Inspection and we'll use their services again!

I recently had a home inspection done by San Diego Home Inspection, recommended by two brokers. The inspector is Andy, and I was very impressed by his great work. He was easy to schedule, arrived on time, and were incredibly thorough in his examination of the house. He spent about 2 hours testing everything. He gave us a brief summary afterwards and answered our questions patiently. The report was delivered within 24 hours and was easy to understand with detailed photos. Joseph the owner communicated with us, also professionally and promptly. The report is crucial to our home purchasing process. Overall, the price was reasonable for the service provided. I would highly recommend San Diego Home Inspection and would definitely use them again for any future home purchases.

I recently used San Diego Home Inspection and was beyond impressed with the level of detail and professionalism they brought to the job. There were two inspectors assigned, Joe and Kirk, to our property, and having both of them there really made a difference — they worked seamlessly as a team, checking every inch of the home with care and precision.

What stood out the most was how detailed and communicative they were throughout the entire process. They explained their findings clearly, answered all our questions patiently, and made sure we fully understood the condition of the home. Their report was incredibly comprehensive, with clear photos and actionable insights.

San Diego Home Inspection came highly recommended by a family member, and now we know why! While their price was slightly higher than some other companies we considered, it was absolutely worth it. Thanks to their detailed report, we were able to negotiate thousands of dollars in repairs and credits from the seller.

If you're looking for a home inspection company that truly goes the extra mile and keeps you informed every step of the way, I highly recommend San Diego Home Inspection. A+ service!

Thank you San Diego Home Inspection! We'll definitely see you again on our future home purchase!

I had a fantastic experience with San Diego Inspection, Inc. Joe and Ryan were incredibly thorough and professional throughout the entire inspection process. They walked me through the property, pointed out both major and minor issues, and patiently answered all of my questions.

One of the things I appreciated most was their recommendation to conduct a sewer scope, which uncovered a septic issue that could have easily been missed. Their attention to detail helped me have a productive and informed conversation with the seller — and ultimately led to a fair seller credit to address the issues.

They didn't just hand over a report — they provided contacts for further evaluation in key areas like plumbing, HVAC, and electrical. That extra effort made a big difference.

Their report was clear, detailed, and easy to follow. I wouldn't hesitate to work with Joe and Ryan again — highly recommend them to anyone purchasing a home in San Diego or Poway for home inspection.

We recently hired San Diego Home Inspection, Inc. to complete our Exterior Elevated Elements (E3)/ SB 721 inspections on three apartment buildings in downtown San Diego, and the experience was excellent from start to finish. They came highly recommended by a friend, and they absolutely lived up to the referral.

Scheduling was smooth and hassle-free, and they showed up exactly when they said they would. Their fees were very reasonable compared to other vendors we looked at. What really stood out, though, was their thoroughness and honesty—they determined that two of our three properties were actually exempt from the inspection requirement, something we would have never known on our own. They even provided official exemption letters, which saved us a significant amount of money.

The team was friendly, professional, and easy to work with on site. Overall, we had a great experience and would highly recommend San Diego Home Inspection, Inc. to anyone needing inspection services.

We really lucked out when our termite inspector recommended Joe to do a home inspection for the house we were about to buy. I was looking for someone who was thorough, professional and honest. Joe was all of these things AND a super nice guy. He took his time inspecting the entire home and then walked us through all of his findings and explained them in detail - this can be quite a lot of technical information for those who are unfamiliar with the many components involved in the construction and proper maintenance of a house, yet he was very good at explaining everything to us. After Joe's consultation, we felt much more confident making the decision to buy our home. You can tell he loves what he does and is great to work with. We highly recommend Joe at SD Home Inspection!

I've used Joe and San Diego Home Inspection for numerous escrows now, including those on my own properties. As a realtor, you want to work with an inspector who is highly experienced and will go the extra mile to spot issues for your clients so they're ultimately protected and aware of the home they're getting into. Joe and his team are exactly that. His reports are very thorough and well done with lots of pictures and videos included. You can even set up your request for repairs through his presentation software. Many of the homes I've had Joe inspect are older with a raised foundation and he has crawled underneath every one of them to inspect, saving myself and clients thousands in the escrow process. Most inspectors will not do this!! Joe is the only inspector I choose to work with and I highly recommend him to my colleagues and others.

We are in escrow on an older home and required a thorough, reliable home inspector. Joe & San Diego Home Inspection met our needs and exceeded our expectations. Joe was very responsive and his quote to do the home inspection came in the lowest of the companies I contacted. He arrived on time and worked quickly and efficiently but still spent time as he was going to explain to things to us. When he was finished, he gave us a verbal summary of his overall thoughts on the home, and helped us understand what items are really important and which are easy quick fixes. I found this very helpful as opposed to an inspector who writes up every little detail in a huge report and leaves it up to the buyer to decipher the overall condition of the home. Joe's final report was clear and easy to read. He included a very helpful overall summary, categorizing issues according to severity, with a thorough report describing every item in more detail following. I really like Joe's style, he is approachable, focuses on the big items that matter, and will spend time with you explaining any questions you have on his report and findings

Customer Service: Joe and his team were communicative, honest, and prompt as soon as we reached out to schedule a home inspection in San Marcos. Immediately after the walkthrough of the inspection, Joe provides contact information for any further questions about the report and will thoroughly explain it in detail.

Home Inspection: Once Joe finishes his inspection, he will walkthrough everything and point out every single issue from roof tiles not being glued down, improperly installed wood floor on the staircase to fire safety hazards within a home. Joe's inspection included a review of the foundation and slab along with infra-red imaging to check for water leaks. I highly recommend them!

I used San Diego home inspection to check out a craftsman home built in the 1920s and I'm definitely glad I did. Andy came out and went the extra mile with his inspection. His knowledge and thoroughness genuinely impressed our realtor and she immediately wanted to use him for future referrals. He went through everything with a fine comb and went the extra mile. The entire time I felt like it wasn't just another job for him, he truly wanted discover everything about the house to make sure we knew what we were getting into. At the end of inspection, he gave a very professional run down and the written report was very detailed. When it came to getting actual contractors out based off the findings in the report, those contractors were extremely impressed with what Andy had found as they said most contractors would just glance over a lot of the things he found and wouldn't pay it much attention. The chimney contractor said that what he found is usually missed all the time and that home inspectors don't even tend to check what he found. The foundation contractor was surprised he even went into a tiny crawl space to take a real look at what was going on down there. Bottom line I CANNOT RECOMMEND THEM ENOUGH! Ask for Andy and you know you can have peace of mind before buying your home. Thanks San Diego home inspection!

My partner and I had found our perfect dream home in North City. As first time home buyers, we were quite worried and stressed through the entire process. Joe eased our worries including checking the stab foundation. Throughout the the inspection, he was very professional. He provided very detailed information about the home and answered all of our lingering questions. He physically showed us where the issues were and gave suggestions on how to remediate them.

We recently had Joe come in to inspect our new home despite it being a new construction since…ohh well..I wanted to cross all the Ts. Joe came across as someone who is very knowledgeable and I couldn't have asked for a better person for the job at hand. He did an extremely good (and a prompt) job of putting together a thorough inspection report for our builder which helped expedite the overall process. I would highly recommend Joe!

I recently had the pleasure of hiring San Diego Home Inspection to evaluate a property I was considering purchasing, and I cannot emphasize enough how impressed I was with the thoroughness and attention to detail exhibited by their inspector. From start to finish, their commitment to providing a comprehensive inspection was evident.

The inspector assigned to our property truly exceeded my expectations. He arrived punctually, well-prepared with all the necessary tools and equipment. From the outset, he conveyed a sense of expertise and professionalism that immediately put me at ease. His friendly demeanor and willingness to answer any questions I had further added to the positive experience.

The inspection itself was excellent. He thoroughly inspected the exterior, from the roof to the foundation and landscaping. Inside, he scrutinized every room, thoroughly assessing the electrical system, plumbing, HVAC, and structural integrity as well as all moderate and minor items.

What set this home inspection company apart was the inspector's commitment to transparency and education. Throughout the process, he took the time to explain his findings and the potential implications in a manner that was easily understandable. He provided valuable insights into the property's condition, highlighting both its strengths and weaknesses. This information was invaluable in helping me make an informed decision about the purchase.

The final report delivered by the company was great. It was comprehensive, detailing all the findings with accompanying photographs and recommendations for further action. The report was well-organized and easy to navigate, making it a valuable reference document for future reference.

I cannot recommend this San Diego Home Inspection highly enough.

Joseph Romero, I can't say enough good things about him and his business. Not only is he professional, he's on time, responds quickly, and the reports are very detailed. I've had to hire him for 3 home inspections due to falling out of escrow (hopefully this is the last one). Every time he has fit me into his schedule with short notice. He's incredibly thorough, and makes me feel confident I know everything I need to about the home I'm buying. I recommend him 1000 percent for anyone who is purchasing a home. At this point he's going to be invited to my house warming party.

Thank you Joseph for giving me a painless experience in a stressful process.

I have been enthusiastically recommending Joe to my clients for both residential and commercial properties for over two years - Joe is a rare blend of caring, experienced professional that is unfailingly throrough and honest in his critical work. If you need a property to be inspected (normally in the course of a Real Estate transaction) contact Joe to get the job done right, and to have a great experience from a hard-working, good-hearted expert in his craft. Thanks Joe for making me look great for recommending you!

I so appreciated Brian from San Diego Home Inspection, Inc. making the trek to Alpine for my home inspection. He was very thorough, explained things in a manner that was easy for me to understand, and was patient in answering all of my questions. The inspection report was a pleasant surprise and included not just a comprehensive report but also pictures and videos. I could even generate my own request for repairs straight from the report. It was very easy to schedule with this company and turn around for the report was quick. I Highly recommend this company to anyone needing a home inspection!

I picked Joe and his company because of their professional and thorough website, great reviews, and quick communication. The experience working with them met and surpassed every high expectation. It was a complicated, older, multi-unit property, but their inspection process was methodical and exhaustive. Joe's explanations on site were very clear and focused on areas of safety concerns, or needing potentially expensive repairs. He capably addressed the myriad of questions from the inexperienced buyer, the contractor, the architect, the realtor, and the seller. His written reports were organized in a easy-to-understand format, while being detailed and comprehensive, including special notes and photos. This process could have been stressful and confusing, but Joe gave me confidence to proceed with the knowledge I needed. I highly recommend Joe Romeo and San Diego Home Inspection!

Great experience with this company! Joe came out to do our inspection. He was thorough, detail oriented, and wrote up a great report on the house. But the best part was when he came back to inspect an electrical panel that was not accessible during the first inspection, free of charge!!!

I hired this home inspection company for our last two house purchases. I paid extra for them to drive to Long Beach which is outside of their normal service area. I didn't mind because I wanted the best and they were highly recommended by some close friends who work in the real estate biz. Both of the homes we purchased were raised foundation which requires the home inspector to "suit up" and crawl between the ground and floor joists, very tight under both houses. On both occasions the inspection revealed important issues that needed to be fixed or planned for future replacement. Using their awesome inspection report, our realtor helped us negotiate a substantial credit for leaky cast iron waste lines and other problems we had no idea existed. This is probably the best money I ever spent. These houses looked perfect but yet there were issues. Thank you San Diego Home Inspection, Inc. we'll be hiring you for our next (hopefully) Encinitas home inspection. Would highly recommend this company.

Ryan performed an inspection in our future home, he is very professional, knowledgeable, answering all our questions. The team was very responsive, it was very easy to do the paperwork and schedule the inspection.

Thank you for the excellent work!

If you want a home inspection that combines years of professional experience with the use of technology then I would highly recommend this company. Our inspector was incredibly professional and thorough. The use of infrared, precise measuring tools and others tech combined with the mobile friendly report proved to be invaluable to our decision making process.

I submitted a request to schedule a home inspection late on a Friday night with the expectation of getting something scheduled for the following week. To my surprise I got a response in less than 30mins and was able to schedule an inspection for the very next day! The inspector arrived on time and took no time getting to work. The home inspection takes time and you could tell the inspector prides themselves in presenting a thorough report at the end. At the end of their inspection the inspector verbally spoke with me about high priority issues with the home and gave me a chance to ask questions. The inspector was able to answer all of my questions with confidence and leaned on their years of a experience to give me a good idea of what can be done or what type of professional to call next for a more detailed look.

I received the report within 24 hours of inspection which I was able to view on my mobile device. The inspection report was incredibly detailed and had videos, pictures and diagrams explaining issues and why they are important to fix.

I cannot express in words just how much I recommend this company for home inspections. You are doing yourself a disservice by not taking advantage of a technology equipped company invested in giving you all the important details of a property before you purchase it.

I've been using Joe Romeo for my home inspections for 20 years. I used to sell property and Joe was great with all my inspections (especially first time buyers). He's not an alarmist and explains items on his report in a realistic manner.

I also have Joe inspect all my own personal properties I purchase and his opinion holds a lot of weight in my decision to purchase a property.

Even if Joe isn't inspecting my properties, he's incredibly helpful. A few years ago, my child was chronically ill. I took her to 10 different pediatricians and they kept giving me antibiotics for "sinus infections."

After years of sleepless nights and desperation to find out what was wrong with her, I called Joe. I thought there may be something wrong with our house that was making her sick.

Joe came over and in one day figured it out. We had a cracked shower pan that was slowly leaking causing a mold infestation to occur between the first and second story of our home. My daughter's room shared a vent with this area and she was breathing in mold. Immediately, we moved out of the house and within a week (and the use of steroid inhalers), my daughter's health significantly improved.

I am beyond grateful to Joe and his knowledge. I would never use another home inspector.

Thank you Rachael, we really appreciate this review. It is important for everyone to understand mold issues along with other home inspection finds that can lead to sickness or other expensive repairs/situations later on. Happy that your daughter was able to recover!

Everything you can ask for out of a service vendor and more! Started off by calling in and talking with Stephanie at the front desk. She was easy-going and gave me the run down on costs/process. When I called back a few days later to schedule, she remembered that I had called and was concise in getting me an appointment that worked around my schedule.

My inspector Joe showed up early, introduced himself, asked if I had any questions and then got down to work. The particular house I was having inspected had quite a lot of stuff, so Joe ended up calling in another inspector who had a break to help him so they could finish in a reasonable timeframe and get us out of there quickly.

When it came down to his finding, he sat us down, ran us through everything he saw as important, the red flags, the yellow flags, ect. On top of it, in areas where we saw some things that might need some attention, he broke down how to handle fixing or looking into it further.

Received my report 48 hours after the inspection and it came through late into the evening, showing me they were hustling to get it out.

Truly, I could not have been happier with the service San Diego Home Inspection provided. So much so, that I used this service 3 weeks ago and they popped in my head today and I wanted to come back and write this review. Highly recommend, 5 stars +
