Ingraffia Home Inspection

I was purchasing a home and thought it would be perfect but with Marks inspection it changed my mind. He was through and listed things that I never saw. I trusted him to uncover what was not brought to my attention by just checking it out. Thanks for doing your job so well. I will use you again for my inspection services when needed. Thanks for your eyes being wide open, and through analysis!

Mark was awesome, he was thorough, knowledgable, friendly, patient, professional and answered every single question we had. He found a water leak using his thermal camera, pointed out every single problem and how it could be fixed. He also explained what was out of code and why. This is the guy you want to hire for your home inspection, I got to give him 4 thumbs up, 2 from me and 2 from my wife!

Mark Ingraffia is a fantastic home inspector! Impressively knowledgable, thorough, friendly, patient and helpful, Mark is just awesome! We were so nervous buying our first home, and had seemingly a million questions. Mark got us on his schedule quickly, followed-​up, and also arrived early to get a head start on such a large house. Then he went over everything with us and answered all our questions with patience and expertise. He is a bit younger than average, but don’t let that fool you! He has tons of experience and is the official inspector for the City of Irvine, so he has amazing credentials. He also has a killer website, which is so refreshing and helpful. He got us our report that night, and it was so thorough and easy to understand with all the photos and explanations. We had some questions that came up later in the week, and he answered us quickly and helped us so much! He has an amazing memory and really pays attention to detail. Oh, and his prices are very competitive, and we paid less than we thought we’d have to for a big house.
Mark put us «newbies» at ease right away, and we actually had a really fun morning with him and our realtor at the inspection. Very pleasant experience, and I would recommend him in a heartbeat! It’s nice to be able to find a kind, hardworking, knowledgeable person and help spread the word about him!!!

Mark was incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and thorough. Had a nightmare experience in the past through Jeff at Coastal Inspection Services, so I was very pleased to find Mark Ingraffia. Can’t say enough great things about him and his service !
HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

I just had Ingraffia Home Inspection come to the home I’m purchasing to evaluate the home’s current shape while in escrow. Mark was on time, friendly, knowledgeable and extremely patient with my never ending questions. Mark took the time to explain each problem he encountered and why it was an issue. He also took the time to discuss how serious each issue was, so I could decide what course of action to take. My report was completed and emailed to me within 24 hours. The report is comprehensive, complete with comments, ratings and photos with the affected areas highlighted. Thank you Mark for making a stressful time more bearable.

Mark was extremely thorough and was heavily knowledgeable on code. He was honest and he even took a phone call from me a few days later to discuss his findings (thanks Mark). When I arrived at the house a few minutes early, he was already in the backyard getting to work. He brings the proper tools to the job site and not just a clipboard and measuring tape. I would recommend him to my family and friends at a drop of a dime. You will be happy with Mark — use him!
**disclaimer — this was the first time I met Mark and I didn’t know him, I found him on Unilocal.I was extremely happy with his work.

Without doubt Mark is the most thorough, knowledgeable, and nicest home inspector I have ever worked with. We received our report with photos emailed to us within 24 hours. Without hesitation, I recommended him to 3 of my neighbors (we had all bought newly constructed homes) they all feel the same as my husband and I about Mark’s broad knowledge and friendly manner.
A year or so after my inspection, Mark rang my doorbell to tell me that driving by my home he noticed a slipping tile on the roof.
It’s now 2 ½ years since Mark carried out my home inspection and I called him two days ago to ask for a favor. I needed him to check out a water stain on the ceiling to see where it was coming from. He stopped by the following day, went up into the loft, took a picture, and explained the problem. He didn’t charge me. As he pointed out, service to his clients doesn’t end after the inspection has been carried out.
I suggest that even if you think Mark might not cover your area you call him!
I should add that inline with his character, his prices are very fair.
I’ve read all the reviews written about Ingraffia Home Inspection and echo what everyone has written.
I noticed there isn’t a bad review or a reviewer who gave less than 5 stars !!

Mark was absolutely a dream to work with. He arrived on time and ready to work. He walked me through everything and was very thorough. He took his time explaining things and took pictures along the way. The report he e-​mailed me was sent the same day and was VERY thorough with accompanying pictures and detailed explanations. After the inspection he responded to my follow up questions very quickly and was extremely professional.
Buying a house can be a very stressful process and out of all the people I worked with Mark went above and beyond. I will only be using him in my future purchases and recommending him to everyone. You will not regret using Ingraffia Home Inspection. Fair prices, great quality, and HONEST great work.
If you need a home inspection done-​look no further. I am beyond satisfied!

Mark did an amazing job in answering all of our questions and explaining what he was looking for with each phase of the inspection. It is evident that he is extremely experienced and knowledgeable. He is a professional that is worth far more than he charges. I wouldn’t hesitate to refer his services to any and all.

Mark is the best home Inspector I have ever worked with as a Realtor. Mark is always early, friendly, approachable, thorough and proactive. Mark will research the property prior to the inspection, and on more than one occasion let my clients know of issues on the property and the surrounding area that might adversely effect them. Mark is extremely knowledgeable about building codes and construction due to his background as a building inspector. He will go above and beyond to let clients know anything he finds about the property and how to investigate further. He never makes you feel rushed and will answer any questions you might have as a buyer. His very thorough report is delivered by email by the night of the inspection, and assists greatly in getting inspection items addressed during the escrow process. If you are in need of a home inspection, do yourself a favor and contact Ingraffia Home Inspections, you won’t be disappointed!

Mark did a thorough job in our home inspection. He arrived early and started checking the garage immediately. Very detailed and professional. Was willing to listen to our questions and made several recommendations. He e-​mailed us the report on the same day. The report is comprehensive. I would not hesitate to recommend him to my friends.

Mark was wonderful to work with. He arrived early and got right to work. He is extremely friendly, professional and has a great attitude. He is as detailed or as high level as you would like and most importantly for me, did not mind me trailing behind him asking a million questions.
His report was thorough and was emailed to me the same day. I would highly recommend Mark to anyone in need of a home inspection.

Needing a home inspection, I asked my brother for recommendations. Ingraffia Home Inspections came highly recommended from the time he used them. I contacted Mark and set up my inspection. He arrived early and got right to work. As he checked some areas he explained what he was looking for. He was very thorough going over my home from underneath to attic and roof. When complete, he advised I would have an electronic copy of his report within 24 hours. Later that night it arrived by email. A 64 page report with photos, inspection results, and as applicable, recommendations for repair. Now I have a clear road of what needs to be done for my 58 year old home to bring it up to date. Having watched Holmes on Holmes and seeing sub standard home inspections which covered little, I believe Mike Holmes would approve of Ingraffia Home Inspection Service. You will not be disappointed.

Met Mark on site, he got there early due to rain and was already hard at work.
He answered all of my questions thoroughly and honestly. This was a big job with a lot on the list and he was in and out in time to make my deadlines at a very reasonable price. Very accommodating and was detailed and straightforward in the descriptions and recommended actions. Funny thing, I was the inspection Mark had just prior to the post by SK so I know he was able to do north oc and SD all in the same day and at short notice!

«Now is the time to buy your first home. It’s a buyer’s market…» HAH! Not even. I have spent month after emotion-​filled, grueling month searching for a home. I have unfortunately taken a serious look at three properties (two of which did not work out) in the past 10 months and had to plunk down money for three inspections.
But at least my money went toward good inspections! Mark Ingraffia was highly recommended to me, and as far I could tell, he did an excellent job on the three inspections. He is punctual, thorough, and efficient. This has been my favorite part of the home-​purchasing process.

I called around to 6 different places I randomely looked up off of yahoo in hb. I end ed up going with mark bacause He was simple honest and straight forward. He showed up ontime and did a great job throughout the inspection and sent a wonderful detailed report. I am super happy with him and would send as much business as i could. I highly recommend mark and his company. The inspection, price and customer service was a pleasurable experience the whole way through
