Boatwright Building Consultants, Inc.

My wife and I recently bought our first home and after much research, we hired Boatwright Building Consultants to do our home inspection. From start to finish we had an exceptional experience. Our inspector was already at the home when we got there and had introduced himself to our realtor. He had started on the entire exterior of our home and the grounds - talk about efficient! Upon meeting him, he was extremely thorough in explaining what his process would entail, what he would be looking at and gave a ballpark amount of time it would take for the full inspection. Our inspector took his time and upon completion gave us a full walk through of the house to show which items he looked at that could possibly be troublesome. He answered every question we had, and as first time home buyers we had plenty. When we received his report the next business day we were blown away at how comprehensive the report was; our inspector caught everything - to say he was meticulous would be a gross understatement. Our home report was presented in a clear manner in which we could understand his recommendations with images and diagrams alike: warning items, items that needed action immediately, and items that should be watched but were not issues at the moment. I would highly recommend Boatwright Building Consultants to anyone in search of knowledgeable, reputable and professional home inspection company. We will surely use Boatwright Building for all of our future home buying inspections; it's clear this company takes pride and ownership in what they do and that's evident in their work.

We recently (May 2017) purchased a small beach house in San Clemente. This home was to be a weekend getaway. We were thrilled that our offer was accepted, but actually quite nervous about purchasing an older home. We did not want this place to turn into a money pit. Boatwright Building inspection Services was recommended to us. I wasn't sure if they would travell 66 miles for such a small job, but they did. Their inspector was on time, courteous and thorough. We received our report in a very short time. There were pictures for referencing any items that should be addressed. A summary was also attached to the final report for easy viewing. One of the items that was found was an electrical issue which was a safety concern. The seller fixed it. It was such a relief to know that our old house had pretty good bones for it's old age and just needed a little TLC.

Boatwright has handled inspections for two properties for us. In both cases they completed an extremely thorough report. They now also will check the roof with a drone, which is great since you really shouldn't walk on Spanish tile roofs common here in the South Bay. In our most recent report they caught an area of concern and recommended an engineer come out to follow up. With Boatwright you know you are getting a truly independent inspection, not a company that's simply trying to push through everything quickly for the real estate agents. They work quickly and are able to visit the property within a few days, but once on site take their time. Report was delivered next day. Thanks again!

My wife and I used Boatwright Building Consultants to inspect the home we bought. Our inspector was very professional. He was incredibly patient and helpful and answered all of our questions, both during the inspection and afterwards. We will definitely use them again as the needs arises

Boatwright did a house inspection in Los Angeles for us on a house we were considering buying. They did a very thorough report which led us to have a more in depth inspection of the house foundation (which needed bolting) and the chimney (which needed some repair). We are happy that their initial report caused us to look more closely into these areas, which will ultimately save us money.

I was looking for a home in a specific area, and we found one which looked very nice. We entered into escrow on the home and asked Boatwright Building Consultants to do an inspection of the home even though it seemed to be in very good condition, and was fairly new. BBS and their crew found many defects is the home including, plumbing, electrical, and synthetic stucco on the exterior. I'm told that this is a big problem which doesn't allow a home's exterior coating to breath, and can lead to moisture and mold problems. I withdrew from this purchase due to this inspection. I subsequently found another home, and had BBC inspect that one. They told me it was in excellent condition, and we went ahead with the purchase. We have now lived in the home for three years with no issues. Boatwright Building Consultants and their staff saved me thousands of dollars, and a lot of heartache. Thanks so much, Norm Donaldson

When looking for a building inspector I would highly recommend Boatwright Building. My inspector was very responsive to all of my questions and absolutely thorough with his reports regarding an income property. Their years of experience and advise proved to be indispensable. This company can provide that for you.
