Golden State Inspections is a very professional company and the inspector I got, Joseph Serrano-Hernandez was outstanding as he was thorough and extremely nice. This was actually the second home he inspected for me because I was about to buy another one when I found the house on Guaymas. Joseph did an excellent job in both reports. I highly recommend the company and Joseph!
