Review: Home Inspection Service

My husband and I were referred by a realtor friend to Mike. We hired him to do the home inspection for our first single family residence purchase, a flipped craftsman built in 1909.

Mike is, indeed, very thorough. He showed up 30 minutes early and got started right away. My husband and I were both present, as were my realtor and a plumber friend. All of us were very impressed with Mike's attention to detail, not just with his findings but also in the way he clearly documented them to us. He spent more than 5 hours going through every corner of the home, and then he spent another hour with my husband and I going through the report. His report was invaluable to us in our negotiations w/the home seller, and it was a good lesson to us in discerning what things are a big deal and which things are liveable. I would not hesitate to use Mike again and I will (and have) referred him over and over again. When Mike starts his inspection, he will tell you that his job is to point things out and that those things may or may not be a big deal. I think it's important to keep this in mind so that you don't freak out and feel like the home you are buying is about to be condemned. And for the areas that he does not point out as potential problems, you can rest assured that those areas are pristine. I have no doubt that Mike is the best at what he does. Good service, nice guy. WORTH EVERY PENNY. I'm pretty sure that the seller and seller's agent (and maybe even my agent, a little) hate him, but he was an amazing asset to my husband and I as buyers.

Needed a complete home inspection to identify any issues before embarking on series of remodeling projects.

Mike Okamura truly lived up to his business name "A Thorough Guy." He spent about 4 hours going through our home, top to bottom, then another hour going over his report. He identified items with issues in and around our house that I didn't even know existed. He identified issues that were present in our house 12 years when we were buying it that did not show up in the inspector's report then. I like his coding system to prioritize the need for attention for each item. Although there were plenty of issues to give attention to, I am glad for Mike's report as I my house seems less of a scary mystery to me. I believe I now know exactly what needs to be done and in what order. Mike's report is worth every penny paid for it.
