"I was impressed with the system of questions and investigation that occurred. Sherlock Homes lives up to its name in that, like true detectives, they know how to get to the source of the problem through some sort of root-cause analysis that theyâ ve developed. I was thoroughly impressed. I would be hard pressed to call someone else after the quality of service that I received."

"Nick was fantastic, and went the extra mile for us. He did a very thorough and complete home inspection, and did the needed repairs; working after hours when needed, to finish it timely. He did excellent work. He is also a realtor, which gave him added perspective and knowledge. He really cares about his work, and was super accommodating. I cannot recommend him more highly."

"I had what I thought was a structural issue with a beam that was supporting to top floor of my two-story house. The beam looked like it was buckling and splitting and I was worried that it could potentially cause the house to collapse. I called Dan to come and take a look at the beam and give me his opinion. Thankfully Dan was able to come promptly and showed up to the appointment punctually. Dan examined the beam and assured me that the beam was still sound and able to support the house and it had what was called "shrinking" of the wood which caused the splitting appearance. He even gave me some suggestions on what I could do to support the beam further utilizing straps that could be purchased at Home Depot. I couldn't be more appreciative of Dan's expertise and suggestions. He didn't try to sell me on a major construction project that I probably didn't need. I would definitely hire Dan for a future project based on his expert knowledge of construction."

"Really amazing work. Extremely thorough inspection, he found quite a lot of things that any lesser inspector would have missed, and we talked the seller into fixing many of them before we bought the house. He flew a drone over the house to look at the roof, and went underground into the crawlspace, took photos of everything, and even used infrared to verify the heating and cooling was working. I was really amazed at how detailed the report we got was."

"We were not present, but our agent was. The high rating comes from a combination of our agent's report, Julian's report and Julian's flexibility in accepting payment split between the buyer and seller (not all inspectors will do this). I found Julian's report to be clear and actionable. This will help us a lot when we move in as we know exactly what we ant to work on and in what order."

FAQs for complete home inspection projects in Novato, CA

An electrical inspection usually takes one to two hours. During the inspection, your electrician will follow the National Electrical Code (NEC) to ensure your home is safe and up to legal safety standards. They'll check your electrical system, including wires, appliances, meter box, panel, circuit breakers, and more.

Afterward, you'll receive a detailed checklist of everything they examined, along with a report highlighting any urgent issues—often with photos. They might also offer tips on how to save energy and improve your system's efficiency.

Regular electrical inspections protect your home and family by ensuring that every part of your electrical system operates safely. Scheduling inspections reduces the risk of electrical fires and cuts high insurance premiums by detecting problems early. Inspections defend against hidden system failures and maintain your property’s overall value, making them an essential part of home maintenance.

Full home electrical inspections are essential when buying a new home because every wiring detail must be evaluated. If you are not purchasing a home and have no significant concerns, a basic safety inspection is sufficient. However, for older properties or homes that have not been inspected for a long time, a comprehensive inspection is required to detect hidden issues and ensure complete safety.
