Testimonials:

I found George to be extremely thorough and helpful. In comparison to an inspector we used from one of the other large and "reputable" inspection companies he was leaps and bounds better. The inspector I used 2yrs ago did not provide any insight into the potential problems he sighted and ultimately ended missing other problems that should have been caught. Working with George is defintely reassuring and worth the extra couple hundred bucks. [on a $750 inspection]

We were bidding on a "fixer" and so wanted to make sure we had a very thorough inspection. George was terrific in that he took the time to look at and document everything, and he explained each thing to us as we walked though the house together, and the relative importance of each issue. I would absolutely recommend him to any one who asks.

George Baral is the best home/building inspector I have
used in Los Angeles over the last 15 years. His inspections
usually last much longer than average inspection because
he is SO thorough. I believe that his intelligence, education &
attention to detail is what sets him apart from all the others.

In February 2007 George inspected what is now my hillside home. I cannot overemphasize his thoroughness or attention-to-detail. He answered all of my questions and his report was especially detailed, leaving out nothing. Before making a purchasing decision I felt incredibly confident that I was well informed. I would only call George for my next prospective purchase.

Reliance Home Inspection did a thorough job of inspecting my new condo. Because of their expertise, I was able to have nooks and crannies fixed that I would have easily overlooked. I am confident that my new home is up to par and would highly recommend their services to all.

I'm telling you that you have no idea what it meant to me, for you to go over to my house on such short notice and do your thing. I was at the end of my sanity with these people and when I said to Jan [RE agent] try and see if George is available, she said great idea, because you were also a mold expert. Jan said the buyers were very impressed with you and were hard pressed to nitpick which was their m.o. Escrow has closed and you have put an end to my nightmare. Thank you again for your expertise and for just being a good guy.

George Baral is by far the most thorough and detailed home inspector I
have ever met. Not only is he is friendly, but his attention to detail
and his obvious commitment to his job make him worth EVERY PENNY of what you will pay him. His inspection report is a guide book for pretty much everything needing attention in your home. He also does
mold testing, which I would recommend for anyone considering a house
with a musty smell. He takes his time and uncovers much more than your
typical inspector would find. It's truly inspiring to see someone take
this kind of pride in his job, especially when it's to educate and
protect people when they are making one of the biggest decisions in
their lives. RELIANCE gets an A+!!!!!!!!!
