Gus the owner was very thorough and flexable. I had to schedule my home inspection within one week and he was able to come out two days out. Very professional.

I found them through NACA when buying my home. They provided a pretty thick maintenance manual as part of the inspection. The Pool inspection was also included in the price which was nice compared to a few other inspectors I researched. I’m a sucker for value so I love that they’re going above and beyond for the customers. I’ll def be using them again.

I’ve known Gus a long time. Since we were undergraduates at UCLA. He’s always been the type of person to put his all into everything. He’s inspected all of my properties and I would never consider choosing someone else. His inspection reports are always concise and not flooded with 100’s of photos like I’m used to with other inspectors. I appreciate how he points out clear as day any hazards or repairs that are recommended. The vendors he works with are also top notch and highly rated. If you ever need something specialized like a mold inspection or termite inspection, he’s your guy.

Bruin did our 11 month warranty inspection and I recommend anyone with a new construction home to get one. We were able to get multiple repairs done by our builder free of charge because of this inspection. Don’t wait until you go past the 12 months as most builders refuse to honor most repairs.

Bruin Property Inspections™ · OwnerYesterday

Thank you for the recommendation! We’re glad the 11-month warranty inspection helped you identify repairs while they were still covered by the builder. It was a pleasure helping you protect your new home, and we truly appreciate you trusting Bruin Property Inspections.

We just purchased a new build in Indio CA and decided to go with this company because of their google reviews. I was impressed with how thorough they were. The inspection itself took about 4/5 hours because it’s a 2450 sq foot home. I was pleased with how concise and easy the inspection report was to read. I also loved the e-book they included with dozens of home maintenance tips and facts. Overall great experience. 5 stars.

Thank you for the wonderful review and for trusting us with your new home in Indio! We’re glad the thorough inspection, easy-to-read report, and home maintenance e-book were helpful. Congratulations on your new home, and we truly appreciate the 5-star recommendation!

I had a great experience with Gustavo at Bruin Property Inspections. He was able to schedule my inspection quickly, was professional throughout the process, and explained his findings in a clear, easy to understand way. The inspection report was detailed, highlighting both major concerns and minor repairs without being alarmist. His pricing was fair, the payment process was simple, and I felt confident in the quality of his work. I highly recommend Gustavo and Bruin Property Inspections to anyone looking for an honest, knowledgeable, and thorough home inspection.

I had an excellent experience with Gustavo at Bruin Property Inspections. He was able to schedule my home inspection quickly and was very accommodating with my schedule, which I really appreciated since I work long hours.

After the inspection, Gustavo took the time to provide a thorough walkthrough of his findings. He was professional, honest, and explained everything in a way that was easy to understand. His inspection report was incredibly detailed, and it's clear he has a great deal of experience and a sharp eye for detail. For example, he immediately noticed a strong pet odor in one area of the home and correctly identified that it likely needed a deep cleaning. He also distinguished between major concerns and minor repairs, offering practical advice along the way. One example was pointing out that a loose bathroom faucet handle simply needed to be tightened instead of making it seem like a bigger issue.

His pricing was fair, the payment process was quick and easy, and the overall experience exceeded my expectations. If you're looking for a knowledgeable, honest, and thorough home inspector, I highly recommend Gustavo and Bruin Property Inspections!
