conducted two home inspections for us recently while we were in the process of purchasing a home in San

's Sunnyside neighborhood. We found him through asking a friend of ours, who is a green builder, to recommend a good inspector. She told us we should go with someone who has CREIA certifications. We ended up selecting

because he has all possible credentials and he also has several good Yelp reviews as well as a professional website. We were very impressed with

's attention to detail during both inspections. In the first house, he noticed that the fire box had fallen and would need replacing. He also noticed some problems with the foundation. In the second house, he immediately noticed sub-standard plumbing done during an un-permitted renovation. Specifically, the drain for a couple bathrooms - including toilets - was an exposed pipe draining into the garage floor drain

underneath and behind the furnace and water heater. This was a very important detail to us since repairing this plumbing will be a job on the order of 25 - 30K. I think another inspector who was moving more quickly and not paying close enough attention to detail could have missed this big problem. We would recommend

without hesitation, and in the future if we need to have more inspections again, we will definitely re-hire

. He is very detailed in inspecting homes and writing up a clear report. He is also very personable and clear in communicating issues."

"Overall I would the experience as fair to good.

was prompt and there to complete the inspection when he said he would do it. He was thorough in the home inspection, though at times I found that he was not really checking everything (given that the house was relatively new, 6 years old, there was limited issues to be found). He was polite and answered all questions though at times I felt he was frustrated with the specifics I was asking. However, on a subsequent call he was very helpful. He is a very knowledgeable inspector, though I would say he is not very familiar with SF houses. The pest inspection was very quick and probably not worth the $250 we paid for it. What surprised me most was there is a whole lot of stuff not covered in the inspection including whether the heating works or not."

San Francisco Home Inspectors Reviews

"At our request,

himself came. He arrived promptly and was very personable. He first inspected where we had seen the infestation, and pretty quickly determined they were not termites, but apparently harmless gnats. We also asked him about ants that find their way into our home periodically. He gave us some advice about the ants and additional, general advice about our property. He did not do a full inspection as he felt that it wasn't necessary, given that it is a relatively new property that we purchased less than two years ago. Since he didn't perform a complete inspection, he charged us half the normal price."

"As first-time homeowners, we had virtually no experience in what to look for, and Mr. Zisook was kind enough to teach us. He knew a great deal about older houses and helped us determine what was important to fix and what was common to an old house. We were pleased with his responsiveness and professionalism. We would recommend him to anyone contemplating the purchase of an old (100+ year old) home."

will talk to you and explain in detail what type of inspections that he would be doing. I am a realtor and I have used him for about 6 months. Has done home inspections and inspected for termite control. He is a creditable person."

"Did a professional job. My husband tagged along as the inspection was done. Everything was thoroughly explained to him. He has high standards. Final report was clear and easy to understand."
