A1 Property Inspections

Peter and his wife are professional, helpful, and very competent. Peter did a thorough job inspecting our home during escrow. He explained everything to us in addition to providing his report the next day. I am very glad we hired them, I am very confident that we are aware of any issues In the house. Thank you A1!

This guys a joke. A 5 minute job took him an hour. He makes a lot of unprofessional assumptions.

A1 Property Inspection is owned and operated by Peter & Delis Walker. They work as a well organized team who are professional, prompt, courteous, and thorough as can be. They were recommended by my agent who has been in the housing industry for over 15 years and has had nothing but good things to say about A1 when he has worked with them in the past.
Whenever I am making purchases or employing services, I attempt to do my research and I became concerned about a negative Unilocal review on A1. I brought it up with my agent and he recommended I contact A1 because he thought it was out of character from the experiences he has had in the past. I contacted A1 and they happily explained the entire situation and put my mind at ease. The partners in the negative review were very unrealistic about their first home purchase and were picking out scratches on a wall and cracked stucco by the sounds of it. If you read their other reviews you will get a better understanding of them and their ways. In addition A1 informed them that they had a rodent problem in their attic and the partners wanted to know what type of rodent was in the attic (mouse, rat, raccoon). Really? Just understand you have a rodent problem in the attic and the rodents were never to be seen when A1 came out during the day. If your concerned about the negative review, I highly advise you to contact A1 and they will be kind enough to give you their side of the story which in my opinion is more realistic.
When I called A1 on a Wednesday afternoon, they were very accommodating to my request to come out to inspect the property in question that Friday. Delis coordinated the schedule, managed my expectations, quoted me a price, referred me to the website
for more information, and thanked me for doing business with them. I was very impressed so far and looking forward to this step in purchasing a home.
When Friday arrived, my agent and myself drove out to the property to meet A1. They were there ahead of schedule and already inspecting the outside of the home. In meeting Pete and Delis, I found them to be very personable and they asked me if there were any areas of concern that they wanted addressed. I told them I wanted a thorough inspection of the entire place (1,650 sq. ft. home). As we went through the inspection they included me in the walk through every step of the way. They told me of their findings, recommendations, and repairs I could expect. For example water heater straps to secure the water heater in the garage, cabinet doors sticking, and an unsecure fire place mantle to name a few of the items A1 documented. A1 did inspect the attic and even identified what looked to be a 2^nd attic in the living room cathedral ceiling. They got their ladder out and unscrewed the custom latch and noticed that the trusses had been cut. Why this was done was beyond belief and it was apparent that the seller (bank owned) was trying to hide this by just putting a white cover over the ceiling cutout to blend it in with the ceiling. This was going to be a costly repair as well as the unsafe stairway entrance in front of the property that A1 discovered before I arrived.
These two items were costly repairs that were safety issues that we presented to the bank for repairs. The bank was only willing to cover a very small percentage of the repairs and it would have been too costly for my young family to afford on our budget. Unfortunately we had to cancel the purchase but it was the property inspection that saved me from getting into a home that would have turned out to be a mountain of debt. Looking back that was the best money spent and I owe a lot to A1 for their knowledge and great work they did. I can’t emphasize how professional they were throughout the process and I had an electronic copy of my home inspection report that very same day in my inbox. Pete and Delis work great together as a team and I highly recommend them to anyone. You will not be disappointed and you will be glad you went with them. I’m in the process again of purchasing a home and will be contacting them to come out and inspect the home for me when it gets to that point.

I have taken a lot of time trying to understand the home inspection industry and what it takes to be a good inspection company.
I’ve had the pleasure of briefly chatting with a Mr. Walker, the owner of this company and I have to tell you that I think he is top rate and would do an excellent job inspecting your home and caring for you as a customer & consumer.
He is professional, educated about inspection and genuinely active in his industry. He is in the Orange County but I guess he serves general southern california. I encourage anyone to take the time and choose the right company for you. I have provided a link to their website & think you will be equally impressed.
