Always Hire A Licensed Plumber

During a recent inspection of a San Diego home, I came across a water heater that had been relocated into the garage. It was quite evident that this modification was performed by non-licensed plumbers. Several unsafe conditions were visible. Below are a couple of photographs of of safety violations that should be corrected immediately by a licensed plumber.

Curtis Kelley arrived early, stayed late and was incredibly thorough. He has incredible attention to detail and was very willing to explain what he was seeing and the implications. The online report was delivered quickly and and the repair request tool saved us quite a bit of time. Highly recommended, will use again!

For our inspection we had Wyatt.

This Wyatt was better than Wyatt Earp. He spent hours on our potential home and went through every nook and cranny. Most importantly he was personable and educated us on the flaws of the home and gave us a run down. It was almost like a 101 class. It was getting dark and he didn't leave until he felt he gave 100%. The inspection report came back from the company and was comprehensive, easy to read, etc. I will be recommending this company to others. Props to Wyatt!

After John Robinson's Inspection Group was recommended by our real estate agent and an acquaintance on NextDoor I looked for reviews online.
I was encouraged by what I read so I went to their website.
They make things easy for you - you can set up an appointment online and will immediately receive confirmation and then updates on what to expect.
We received appointment reminders and were given the name and contact info of the inspector who would be doing the work.
Our inspector - Adrian - showed up ontime. He was friendly and extremely professional. He was thorough, answered my questions as the inspection proceeded and instilled great confidence in me that I would understand the condition of the house based on the level of scrutiny possible.
The report afterward was thorough and well laid out.
Thanks for the excellent service John Robinson and Adrian!

I have referred John Robinson out to many clients. John has done an amazing job of building a top notch team from Jade, who runs the office, to the inspectors he hires and trains.

My favorite inspector, Matt Rasmussen, goes above and beyond. He shows up on time, is well spoken, patient, easy to understand and extremely knowledgeable. After Matt completes his inspection he will walk you through the home and point out the items he found. If you are unable to attend the inspection Matt will call to provide you details of issue or you can call him. Matt is always available to answer questions for you and he is able to explain things to those both knowledgeable in construction/home repairs and those who are first time home buyers with little to no knowledge construction/home repairs.

The inspections are extremely thorough that include photos, scope of work for each section of the report, severity of issues. They use infrared to check moisture and will also include videos of issues when relevant. The reports are next day but sometimes even the same day as the inspections. The reports can range in length, 70 to 110+ pages depending on number of issues) and are extremely thorough. The web interface they use for sharing their reports is excellent.

I can't tell you how many times I have seen inspections provided by sellers that were very limited however to an untrained buyer they think they don't need to do their own inspections and sometimes their agents either don't recommend they do so or don't explain the lack of completeness of the sellers inspections. My buyers have never been anything but grateful for using John Robinson. Their inspections are night and day above many other inspections companies. If you are a buyer, this is most likely the most money you will spend on any one purchase in your life, getting a thorough report so you can know the true condition of the home is well worth it. I have saved my clients $1000's sometimes $10,000's in credits based off inspections from John Robinson's team!

For sellers, using John Robinsons thorough inspections can also be a benefit. If you provide a thorough report and have the buyers sign it with any purchase agreement then it can help you avoid buyers later finding issues and wanting credit or repairs for them.

I can not say enough good things about John Robinson Inspections! I highly recommend them!
