Jerry is a true professional and extremely knowledgeable with his craft. Highly recommended, and we are truly satisfied with his service.
Knowledageable, patient, and detailed oriented... who could ask for anything else, bravo!
Less than 1. Every day we find issues that should have been triggers for the inspector to stop and note significant issues that could cause injury due to safety conditions or significant damage and cost to the purchaser. I thoroughly understand the need to report something functionally works but totally ignores safety, cost to repair or possible of system failures. Very unhappy with this service.
I’ve been using Preferred Inspection Services for years, and they consistently do an excellent job. Their inspections are thorough, they’re always happy to review and explain any items that come up, and they do a great job communicating with clients throughout the process. They’re also very responsive and provide their reports quickly after completing the inspection. I would highly recommend Preferred Inspection Services to any buyer or real estate agent looking for a knowledgeable, reliable, and professional inspection company.
Our real estate team has worked with Jerry Stronger and the team at Preferred Home Inspection Services for many years, and we have always been impressed by the quality, thoroughness, and professionalism of their inspections. I especially wanted to recognize Jerry for going above and beyond for one of our recent clients. Our client, who is in his late 70s, had recently relocated to Laguna Niguel from Northern California and was feeling overwhelmed by a few items noted in the inspection report that the seller did not address. Even after escrow had closed, Jerry took the time to return to the home, personally walk through each concern, answer questions, provide reassurance, and even help get a shower door back on its track. That level of service, compassion, and genuine care is rare. Jerry didn't just complete an inspection. He made sure our client felt supported and confident in his new home long after the transaction was over. We are incredibly grateful for Jerry's kindness and dedication, and we highly recommend Jerry and the entire team at Preferred Home Inspection Services to anyone looking for an honest, knowledgeable, and caring home inspection company.
Very accurate team. Report with a lots of details. Thank you so much.
Jerry was very responsive and helped me set a record time on getting a home inspection scheduled as escrow opened. Matt Garcia was thorough and even took time to record a video for my buyer walking through key findings. He was able to complete the home inspection report in the same day and promptly deliver a professional report. I recommend Preferred Inspector Services and plan to do business with them again!
Fantastic experience with Preferred Inspection Services. Inspector Matt was on time, efficient, and thorough. He was incredibly kind and did a great job explaining his findings and giving his professional opinions on the issues found. The official report came soon after the inspection, saving us valuable time in our escrow process. Highly recommend.
Preferred Inspection Services did a great job. Very thorough and detailed - they didn't miss a thing. very great report and great team
