My husband and I are attempting to buy our first home in Los Angeles - we all know that home buying is stressful in itself...but if you`ve ever gone through the home buying process in ANY other state than CA and then have the luxury to go through the process in LA...amplify that stress by 500! Even more so for us, little guys going up against all-cash buyers, flippers, and those who can afford to be much more competitive in the game of real estate. Let me tell you what a nice change up it was to have something in this process be anything BUT stressful. Our inspector Garett M. has been down to earth, honest, efficient, and just an all-around excellent guy. We wouldn't recommend anyone but this guy, and should I ever need an inspector again...he is definitelygo-to our go to. Awesome and great job, G! Thank you for everything!!!
I sell a lot of real estate on the West Side of Los Angeles and I ALWAYS use Inspection Pros for my general inspections. Garett and his team are always on time (usually early), professional, and, a pleasure to work with.
He also does mold inspection and does a knock-out job. He gets the lab results back quickly, has a thorough written report, and will always be available to answer any questions if you call him! Highly recommend!
Prepared A Pre-Buy Inspection Of My House. Now As The Repairs And Innovations Are Coming To A Conclusion On That Property, I Would Say Garrett Spotted At Least 90% Of All Major Damaged On The Property And The Rest Were Only Discovered When Hedges Were Removed And Walls Demolished. His Thorough Report Made It Clear Exactly What I Was Getting Into Before I Took The Plunge.

Garett and Andrew are the best. They are very experienced, professional, and on time. They have great communication and were available for any questions. I would always use them!
We hired Inspection Pros to perform a general home inspection for a recent home purchase. Our experience with home inspector Garett Martell was excellent. Garett was flexible enough to accommodate a tight timeline for our transaction. He was thorough in reviewing the property, and took the time to explain the details behind his findings/recommendations. The home inspection report was finalized and published very quickly. Garett was also able to perform a sewer line inspection, including providing a video of the results. We appreciated Garett's professionalism and responsiveness, and would highly recommend him for those in need of a home inspection.

Inspection Pros was completely professional and knowledgeable. I appreciated how quickly they were able to work (without rushing!) and how clear their written report was. I recommend!
I was referred to Inspection pros by my business partner and they are the best. Sharen, Garrett and, Andrew did excellent work to get our inspection needs met. Extremely thorough and great to work with. Thank you Inspection pros!
Andrew was thorough, friendly, and explained everything to us. As a fist time home buyer, the buying process is overwhelming. Andrew did a great job of making me feel relaxed and confident in his skills.
The report was detailed and our agent was impressed by his reporting. My agent also liked that Inspection Pros could do sewer, mold, and chimnmey inspections! One stop shop!
Highly recommend both Inspection Pros and Andrew.
Came highly recommended, and did not disappoint. They were prompt, thorough, and knowledgeable, especially in the inspection of a century-old Craftsman. Would use it again for further inspections.
I've worked with Garrett at Inspection Pros, many times over the last few years. He is always professional, easy to work with, and provides great service. I highly recommend Inspection Pros for your inspection needs.

I've worked with Garett for the past four years on a about 20 multifamily inspections. Garett is thorough, knowledgeable, and dependable. I would definitely recommend Inspection Pros. They've been great to do business with and they are our go to inspection company.

Great service, we appreciate the professional way they inspected the new home we got Will definitely! Use them again. Thank you very much for Making the process of buying A home easy. Thanks
I am so grateful that I called Garett for my inspection. I had found the "perfect property" that solved a whole bunch of challenges for me, and I was excited to buy it. Fortunately, Garett used his professional experience to open my eyes to some very daunting obstacles (roof, insulation, wiring, ventilation, plumbing, and code violations involving the HVAC). Rose-colored glasses off, I withdrew my offer on the place. Thank you, Garett! You saved me tens of thousands of dollars and spared me a ton of drama. I'll call Inspection Pros again. Btw, all the remarks in the Yelp reviews about him answering questions and showing up early were true for me as well. I chose Garett after cross-referencing across-referencing Yelp reviews and state certification lists.

They were available for follow up and additional questions if I had any. I was highly confident in their results and will surely recommend them to all my friends and family. Protect your investment by choosing these guys for your inspection needs, I highly recommend them.

We are in the process of purchasing a home, and Garrett came out to inspect it for us.
Garrett knows his stuff, and I was particularly impressed with the fact that he spoke to me directly and respectfully. This should be a given, but unfortunately, not all of the inspectors and workers with whom I interacted in the process of purchasing a home did so. Several of the other people who came addressed my real estate agent even though I was the client, not my realtor, and even though I was standing right there and asking questions as I was the one with a vested interest in the results, not my realtor. In a word: sexist. But not Garrett and not any of the inspection subcontractors he brought with him. All of his guys were thorough, professional, and respectful. One of the other benefits of going with this outfit is that you don't have to call around and make separate appointments with each type of inspector (e.g., I need the sewer looked at and Garret brought someone from Williams out with him, I needed chimney, and he brought a chimney guy, if you want mold tests, they do this too). And they are there just to inspect and to try to not sell you repairs under the guise of being inspectors. The only thing they didn't do is termites.
I also appreciated Garret's report and the fact that there are pictures with concise descriptions on them showing exactly where everything is so that after we move in, I have an easy reference for a handyman or contractors to go and fix all the little details. It's also useful because when you move into a house, the location of important things like fuse boxes and A/C controls may not be immediately apparent, and rather than hunting for them, I can just find them on the report.
Garrett was on time--in fact, he was there earlier and already inspecting the roof when I arrived.
Of course time will tell whether anything significant was missed (which would necessarily reflect poorly on Inspection Pros because there are things that come up that you would only notice if you were tearing down walls or doing super invasive things). They also will provide you with a homeowner's manual, although they put a 40 cent stamp on it, and I had to run around the house scrounging for change to cover the rest of the postage because my mail carrier told me if I wanted it, I'd have to give him 2.10--so maybe they could just hand this out at the inspection to save on mailing costs. But I would recommend them to anyone, and we were very happy with the inspection experience (which can not be very stressful).

Garett was awesome! He was thorough and provided a super detailed report which included pictures. He also didn't mind that I followed him around like a puppy dog, asking questions. They also followed up with a complimentary offer to work with one of their partners (Porch) to help us organize and execute all the time-consuming details of a move.
I was an out-of-area agent looking for a home inspection company, found Inspection Pros by googling. I called 5 companies, and Garrett was the only one that answered his phone. Garrett came out for the inspection, showed up early, and, did a very thorough inspection, Very Pleased with his inspection!! Highly recommend.

We are in the process of purchasing a new house. The Guys from Inspection Pros showed up to the appointment before the appointment time. There were very professional and friendly. They explained what they were going to do and the process. After they completed their work, they briefly verbally explained the highlights of their findings and submitted their report within 24 hours. The report they submitted was very detailed. I especially like the summary at the end of the report so you don't have to read the whole report.
Highly recommend. Garrett was my inspector, highly knowledgeable and extremely caring. In this world with crooked contractors doing shady work, I am happy to share that this is an honest company doing what they advertise.
Peter E. Santa Monica, CA
I'm buying a house, the first one in California. It's all very overwhelming. My buyer's agent gave me a few different names of people to contact for the various inspections and I chose inspection pros to do a general inspection of, the sewer line and chimney. They were there before I was, did all the external inspecting before I even got there, and had a beautiful perfectly written up report within 24 hours. They also went over with me verbally everything before they left, answered all my questions were very polite, kind, and helpful
Garett is my go-to inspector in this business. My clients have relied on his honesty and careful inspections for many, many years. When I open a new escrow, this is the first call I make. Garett is very conscientious and will submit a detailed report in a very timely manner. He is the best!
Carole Krieger, Realtor White House Properties
Garett Martell and his team have done two home inspections for us. Both were efficient, thorough, and very professional. Garett's calm demeanor and patience with clients new to the home ownership/inspection process who have lots of questions really helped to diffuse some of my anxiety - especially on that first fixer-upper. Thanks, Garett!
