CalSpec Home Inspectors

Randy was very friendly to work with and provided a thorough inspection that took about 2 hours. He helped to explain many of the issues found in terms that were very clear and easy to understand. He answered all of the questions that we had for him and he explained many things that we were curious about. Only a few hours after the inspection we received a 40pg PDF report back that is extremely detailed and easy to understand with pictures and all in addition to recommendations for how to proceed with the findings. I found Randy on Unilocal and went with him because of the reviews and he deserves the amazing ratings that he has. Thanks again Randy!!!

Randy came highly recommended by my neighbors. We live in a new construction community and wanted a home inspection before our one year warranty was up.
Randy exceeded my expectations. He is highly professional, respectful, and friendly. Before he began the inspection, he explained to us what to expect and answered all our questions in detail. The inspection was done thoroughly and we were impressed with the equipment he used (drone, infrared, etc.). As he went along with the inspection, he would tell us what he found. good or not so good. Randy is very meticulous.
The inspection report was prepared and sent to me in less than 12 hours after the completion of the inspection. The report was easy to read, had clear pictures with explanations, and incredibly detailed.
It was wonderful to have someone not only do the job really well, but have the great customer service that so many others are lacking. We will be recommending Randy to all our friends and family!

Randy was great. He caught many things that a previous inspector completely missed and he was able to take extra time to answer all of our questions.
Other inspectors may offer cheaper fees, but I believe you get what you pay for in this industry. Save yourself money in the long run by getting a good inspector!!!
We ultimately did not buy the house, but I will use Randy again in the future.

Randy did an incredibly thorough inspection and report on a condo we are buying. We saw a previous buyer’s inspection report and Randy caught lots of items that the other inspector missed. He was great to work with, allowed me to shadow him during the inspection, and answered all of my questions. No hesitation at all in recommending him!

Randy was absolutely OUTSTANDING! He was professional and extremely knowledgeable. He is thorough and pays great attention to all details. I would recommend him 110%! No negatives of any kind!

Randy was extremely thorough and the report he wrote up is very well laid out… As a first time home buyer, he was perfect… The process is so overwhelming but having his explanations in detail really put me at ease. Not to mention he was super friendly and patient. Highly recommend!

Randy did an excellent job. I couldn’t be happier. He worked with me to find a time in his schedule to come out right away. He did a thorough inspection of the townhouse I am purchasing. He used a variety of high tech instruments to measure issues such as leaks and grounded electrical outlets. He spent time explaining I detail all his concerns and provided a report within hours. I recommend CalSpec to anyone who needs a home inspection.

I just had my first opportunity to work with Randy Halford, and it won’t be my last. After 29 years of selling real estate, I have a very short list of favorite inspectors, and Randy has just been added to it! He was on time, professional, respectful, knowledgeable and gave a great overview of the property. I felt that he was thorough and gave a balanced report of the condition of the property and gave the buyers the confidence they needed to proceed with their purchase. Thanks Randy!

Randy probably does not need reviews in Unilocal or anywhere else, as he already has great reputation and enough clients that make him busy year long. But he really deserves a 5* review in any criteria.
Randy helped us twice, first with a house we liked so much, but he found out tons of problems, thoroughly documented in a 62 page long report. The second one, his nice report assured us that the price we paid was really worthy.
Here are some common things about Randy through the two times we worked with him:
— Very responsive in answering emails. calls. Punctual, he always come early for sewer pipe inspection, and finish even before the client show up it to save time of clients.
— Has very professional eyes and modern tools that pick up any minor issues. He found all the issues that our termite inspector found. He had a tool to measure moisture level to show there was a moisture built up in the walls or under the floor. Video inspection of sewer pipe line was really useful.
— Carefully explains to clients about home inspection process and any issues he finds. But also very diplomatically appropriate toward seller agents, if they want to interfere. Randy really protects the clients he works for.
Some tips for first time buyers to contact Randy.
— Call ASAP to make sure he can inspect before the contingency removal deadline, his schedule is very busy. Get him inspects as early as possible, as he will find out a lot of details that can help you decide whether to proceed or can use it to negotiate back and forth with the sellers.
— Randy is a little more expensive than others, but it is really worthy having him. If you are to take that property, you spent the money on your future home to know every details of it, and you can probably get part of the fee back by negotiating with the owners for any issues he found. If you drop the property, don’t worry, just make the next offer slightly less than what you would have offered. 0.5k less is in the noise level that no sellers would make a big deal out of it.
— If you are interested in an old property, and if Randy suggests performing video sewer line inspection, go for it. He is very honest and does not try to take your money, it is all for your sake. The sewer will really tell the conditions of the hidden infrastructure, and also how the previous owner live/​care for the property.

This is my first attempt at buying a house, but if I go through this again, I’ll be sure to contact Randy. He is extremely friendly, helpful, and knowledgable. It was a little unnerving to hear all that was wrong with the house, but you absolutely want to know this information before you make a commitment. I’m confident that he caught everything that might become an issue and so now I can move forward with a much better sense of the risks. He’s also good at giving you the sense of urgency of the problems and has a good understanding of history and architecture that relate to them…

We had our home inspection with Randy of CalSpec and it was a wonderful experience! He was kind, thorough and took his time walking us through his findings. He gave us valuable insight from his expertise. We had lots of questions as first time home buyers and he patiently answered each one. We received our complete report in less than 24 hours from the time of inspection. He did a great job and we highly recommend him!

Randy is one of the best inspectors I have used. I am an active Realtor in Ventura County and I have used him on my personal home purchases. I wouldn’t use anyone else. He is very knowledgeable about the soundness of a home. He has caught things that most inspectors would miss. Hire him! You won’t be disappointed

Randy is the most thorough home inspector I have ever used. I will never need to find anyone else. Randy’s inspection and report are amazingly detailed and based on his information I was able to make an educated determination based on facts and not assumptions. I was so happy with his report, I paid him to come out and do a second report AFTER my contractors were done to make sure EVERYTHING was as it should be.

Hello hello. So I am a first time home buyer which is nerve-​racking enough. Randy came highly recommend and I am very happy that I had him as my home inspector. I was not able to be at the home inspection with Randy but my wonderful agent was. When I received the report back it was very clear and easy to understand. I did have a few questions that I needed answered ASAP. I called him on a Sunday which is his day off and he was gracious enough to call me back to answer my urgent questions. Needless to say I did not end up following through with that home much in part to the very important info received from this inspection. For the next inspection I will definately be using him again.

We highly reccomend Randy. His report was incredibly thorough, and he had a lot of patience answering all of our (countless) questions. I was certainly also impressed with his drone flying abilities where he was able to take high resolution shots of the roof.
He made our 1^st timer process a lot easier.

Im a first time home buyer so this process is new to me. I showed up to the property and Randy was already there. He had a very professional and kind presence. I immediately felt at ease knowing he was doing my home inspection. He took about two hours and then sat down with me to highlight some of the more pressing issues he found while inspecting the property. His report was extremely detailed and he took pictures of everything that he felt needed attention. Because of his thorough report my husband and I decided not to move forward with the purchase of the property we were interested in. Im grateful for Randy’s honest and thorough report. His attention to detail and expertise saved us from purchasing a huge money draining pit of a house. Thanks so much Randy!

Randy is great.
His knowledge is extensive and his work is thorough. Most importantly to us, he explained everything he saw in an understandable way. We felt encouraged to ask him any questions we had and he was extremely helpful throughout the process. I feel like we learned more about this home than his inspection report reflected, because Randy gave us insight into things we wouldn’t have otherwise known about (e.g. why is this built this way, what are the consequences of this, etc.). He was a pleasure to work with and we highly recommend.

Randy does it again for the 2^nd time! After a thorough home inspection with the 1^st home we put an offer on revealed more than we could handle we found another house and contacted Randy to put his expertise to work once again. We were pleased with his findings and because of it the seller reduced the asking price and we are on our way to becoming first time homebuyers. Thanks so much Randy you’re the best!

Randy’s attention to detail is impressive. I have had a few inspections over the years and most are a check list with an occasional photo. He provided us a very detailed inspection report that will now be my to do list. Every page and item was detailed with photos so that I was able to see what was wrong. If you want details then hire Randy!

When I showed up to the property I was interested in, I was a bit nervous as I am a first time buyer. Randy was already there ready to greet me with a friendly smile on his face and a firm handshake that quickly put me at ease. It seemed like he wasn’t there that long, but WOW was his report detailed and thorough. Items were color coated with severity and a description that made it easy for me to understand what the issue was. After his inspection he pointed out some large issues as well as pointing out some advantages to the property I was looking at. I really appreciated an honest look that has also made me more aware of things to keep an eye on. Getting the seller to fix a few things before purchase wasn’t bad either :)

Look no further.
You have found the company you are going to use to inspect your new home.
Randy is friendly, prompt, thorough, organized, professional, and patient.
He left no stone unturned during the inspection. He will not miss a thing. You may have heard horror stories of things going wrong that inspectors do not find. This just won’t happen.
The organized and complete report comes with photos and is coded for 1. Costly repairs 2. Health/​Hazardous items 3. Safety violations. You really get an easy to read broken down report that will assist you completely.
He’s a cool dude, too. Do it. Hire Randy. You will regret it if you don’t.
