Ian Douglas Inspectors
A home inspection is one of the most important steps you can take to make sure your new home is a sound investment and a safe place to live. Get the most out of your home inspection in the Santa Clarita Valley with Mark Hooper Home Inspections. Even a brand new home should be inspected. Don’t assume the builder — or the contractors — did everything right just because the home passed code and is brand mew. An inspector is your last line of defense against major defects that could quite literally sink your financial future
Absolutely the best inspection I’ve had on any property. Doug went through this home from top to bottom and provided detailed analysis of the home’s condition. His report was thorough and proved to be of great value during the negotiation. Highly recommend.
Doug was extremely professional and knowledgeable. He did an excellent job explaining everything throughout the entire process, providing recommendations that made the most sense for our safety and needs. I would highly recommend Ian Douglas Inspections for anyone looking for a good, honest, and affordable home inspection. He’ll put your mind at ease when you’re looking to make such a big purchase.
Doug was very thorough and honest on both inspections he completed for me. He emphasized teaching me about appliance upkeep which is very appreciated. He pointed out a few very minor issues which I was able to get resolved quickly!
For the second one he also acted as a “project manager,” coordinating other specialist inspectors we employed, and reviewing the construction plans to advise us on the nature and quality of the construction work. This was particularly important as we live out of state and couldn’t be there on inspection day. Doug is a former contractor, so he has hands-on experience with construction. We felt that his reports and analysis were much better than others we have previously received from home inspectors who were not contractors.
His experience means that he can tell you everything you need to know, and you can make confident decisions about buying property. Both his onsite inspection and his extensive written report, complete with photos, are beyond thorough. This is exactly who you want performing this kind of work. Highly recommended.
My husband found the inspection to be very thorough and thought the inspector/owner to be very professional and great at explaining the systems. His written report was easy to digest and highlighted the areas in need of attention. My real estate agent, who has seen many, many inspectors over the course of her career, was also impressed. I highly recommend this business.
