Testimonials

Chris was highly recommended by many of my neighbors who were getting inspections on new homes before the warranty runs out. I waited until the absolute last minute to schedule and I didn’t expect it to be so easy to get an appointment. Chris has years of experience and many, many good reviews. He was thorough and fast and did find many things that needed fixing in my new home.
- B.G., Roseville CA, September 2024
I recently had the pleasure of working with Chris Brown for our home inspection, and I can't recommend him highly enough! Chris was incredibly thorough, with an exceptional eye for detail. He carefully examined every part of the property, ensuring nothing was overlooked. What truly stood out was his patience and care—despite all of my many (and probably silly) questions, he took the time to answer each one thoughtfully and never made me feel rushed. Chris made what could have been a stressful process manageable, and I walked away feeling empowered to make confident decisions about our home purchase. If you're looking for someone who combines expertise with a genuine commitment to helping clients, Chris is your guy. Thanks again, Chris!
- M.P., September 2024
Chris was very professional. He is a fantastic advocate for findings in your home inspection. There was an issue with the AC and Chris was very persistent to get the issue addressed and have the AC working properly, saving us a great deal of time and money from potential damages that would have certainly happened if Chris did not step up for us. We are incredibly grateful!
- T.H., August 2024
Chris was kind, professional, and very informative during the inspection. Most importantly, he really made me feel comfortable asking questions about what was going on during the inspection. He even invited me into the crawl space to check it out for myself. We absolutely will recommend him. In fact, we already did prior to submitting this survey. Thanks for everything!
- A.N., July 2024
I had the best experience with Chris, our home inspector! He was super professional and really friendly, which made the whole process a lot less stressful. Chris checked out every nook and cranny of the house and explained everything he found in a way that was easy to understand. He didn't just stop at the inspection—Chris also recommended a great pest control guy, which was super helpful. Overall, Chris made what can be a nerve-wracking experience feel smooth and easy. If you need a home inspector, definitely go with Chris. He’s the best!

- C.N., December 2023
Chris was extremely thorough and came to get us every time he thought there was something major we should see. He also provided two reports a summary report as well as a more detailed report. These reports were broken down into two categories. Health and safety items as well as more “wish list” items. This made things so easy to really decide what to speak with the seller about. He was also went above and beyond to recommend some other inspectors for things he thought we should look into. I would definitely recommend Chris to anyone needing an inspection!
- M.T., December 2023
The inspection was completed in a very timely manner and the report is clear and thorough.

- S.C., Elk Grove CA, September 2023
My brother and sister in-law referred me to CBPI and Chris Brown after their home inspection; they had nothing but good things to say about Chris and the job he did at their home. Chris is extremely knowledgeable in terms of building codes, property requirements performing a very thorough and detailed inspection of my new home, recording notes and taking many photos. After completing the inspection CBPI quickly provided me with a summary inspection and detailed inspection reports which I'll in turn share with the builder of my home for all required rework and repairs. From the start of the process to completion Chris and his team were in constant communications via email, phone and texting, keeping me informed each step of the way! I have to add on top of the great job Chris did he's a good guy and I give CBPI my highest recommendation! Thank you! - M.N., Roseville, CA, September 2023
- M.N., September 2023
Chris inspected our new house and was incredible thorough. The pictures and specific notes were greatly appreciated as we are moving from across the country. I was able to get in touch with him very quickly to ask about his feedback. Not only was he patient, but kind and funny. He made the entire process stress-free and easy.
- J.M., August 2023
Fantastic!
- R.A., July 2023
We were impressed from the initial contact to the final report with Chris, his staff, and his company. Communication was ongoing throughout the process. He shared his findings immediately after a very thorough inspection of our home and then 48 hours later we received the report. He discovered many areas that needed immediate attention as well as areas of future concern. Finally, we were provided with a link in the report enabling us to generate an "Action List" which can be submitted to the concerned parties. We give Chris Brown Property Inspection our highest recommendation.
- A.J., July 2023
Chris has inspected multiple properties for us over the years and he is absolutely wonderful to work with. We will never use anyone besides him for home inspections. He is incredibly thorough and takes the time to walk through all items with you. If you have questions afterwards, he is always available to discuss and provide recommendations. He took the time to talk with contractors, plumbers, and electricians if they had any questions. The quality of the report is first class and incredibly user friendly. It allows you to break out components and send them to various vendors to bid out the work. He also provides you with insurance contacts. I cannot recommend him highly enough!
- J.P., July 2023
Chris Brown was very professional and informative and respectful of our home. Provided useful information for the homeowner to create a repair list to give to our Builder for repairs and home improvements.
- L.B., Roseville CA, June 2023
Chris was absolutely wonderful with my clients. He was friendly and very informative. He doesn't just know "the home", he knows how to work with people; even going that one extra step if need be to make sure the client has what they need to make an informed decisions about one of the larges purchases they will make - their home.
- D.H., Davis CA, June 2023
Chris did a great job. He did our one-year new house inspection.
- P.Z., Roseville CA, June 2023
Chris provided a high quality, thorough inspection of my house prior to the end of my 1-year new home warranty. There were no major issues discovered, which was my expectation, but he did find multiple small to medium-small issues, most of which I never would have discovered on my own. The inspection report follows industry best practices and uses modern software to deliver a very well-structured document. The report content was very well written and clear, with multiple detailed photographs. It clearly points out areas that need to be addressed. The report also describes items not within the scope of the report, and includes general advice for the homeowner regarding things to look for. There is both a detailed report and a summary report, and both were made available to me online the night of the inspection. The summary report focuses mainly on action items, so it's a good starting point when addressing items that should be covered under warranty. However, the detail report should still be reviewed thoroughly. Beyond the report, Chris is a very friendly person, and took time to try to be friends with my cat (she didn't immediately hide, which means he was successful)! He showed up on schedule, and was very efficient and methodical, but still took time to discuss what he was inspecting and things he found, as well as to listen to and answer my questions. Working with CB Property Inspections as a business was easy. Booking the appointment online and all electronic communications was a breeze. Overall, I recommend Chris Brown and CB Property Inspections for any home inspection needs.
- M.K., Roseville CA, May 2023
10 stars all the way.
- B.J., May 2023
I’m in the process of purchasing a home, and I was referred to CB property inspections. I was likely lucky to get the owner Chris Brown to do the inspection. Not only is Chris, extremely knowledgeable and thorough, he’s a great guy too. He found things that other inspectors missed. He even went over the report page by page the next day with me. Chris is the guy to call to get that great service that you want when buying a home and need inspections done.
- A.F., March 2023
Thank you for the quick response to the request to inspect the house we were buying. It was obvious that Chris inspected the house thoroughly. He was well informed, and answered our questions with ease. The report that followed was again, thorough.

- V.S., February 2023
I've been home shopping for over a year now and when it came time to offer on a house and get an inspection, I'm certainly fortunate to have had Chris Brown in my corner. Chris is very thorough in his inspection process leaving no details behind. His documentation of findings and ability to communicate the impact of issues found through the inspection have saved me money. Chris is a trusted partner in the home buying process.

This is the fifth home I will have purchased in 20 years and Chris, was by far, the best inspector I've worked with. He was very thorough with an excellent communication style when it came to describing findings. I also appreciated his use of technology to record the inspection. His notes and photographs translated into a very detailed report and the report system used is also cutting edge and easy to navigate. If you're buying a home in the Sacramento area, Chris should definitely be your home inspector. Outstanding work!

Chris is fantastic. Both Extremely detailed in the survey effort and also very friendly. I was amazed at the turn-around time from the time Ali first contacted the office.

- S.S., Roseville CA, December 2021
CB Property Inspections is an incredible company. Chris and Kristine make CB even more incredible. My experience was flawless. I had detailed communication along the way and Chris and Kristine are so responsive. I found them because another inspection company tried to take advantage of me with respect to pricing. The silver lining is that I found a family-owned company that is relationship-driven, highly professional, and thorough in every way. CB Property Inspections is now my go-to company. I have already recommended them to fellow commercial real estate investors. Thank you

Chris was a pleasure to work with and I would absolutely recommend his expert services to anyone needing a home inspection.

- J.Y., October 2021
I decided to contact Chris to perform an independent inspection of my new home. I believe he did a thorough inspection inside and outside my home, including the roof, garage, fencing, and exposed pipes and utility boxes. He clearly explained his findings and recommendations. He asked for and listened to my concerns and questions. I was able to generate a checklist of items needing attention from the report Chris provided. This will be very helpful when the year review conducted by the builder is scheduled. Chris is professional and provided his reports the next day. Scheduling his services was easy through the office, which also confirmed the appoint date and time. Fees were reasonable; payment methods were clearly explained. I highly recommend CB Property Inspections and would use their services again.
- M.P., October 2021
Chris is always on time, extremely thorough, informative, and pleasant! Use him every chance I get.

- B.B., April 2021
We really had a great experience with our Inspector. He was punctual, professional and very thorough. Would highly recommend again.
- S.G., April 2021
Chris was very efficient and professional. He explained what he was looking at as he worked through the house inside and out. Chris found a couple of items I was unaware of and confirmed other items that I had suspected so the inspection was well worth the nominal cost. The inspection was of a newly constructed house prior end of the one year manufacturer warranty. I received a detailed report I was able to provide the builder so that they were able to schedule tradespeople to make the corrections prior to warranty end. I'm a happy CB Property Inspections customer and highly recommend Chris to anyone else seeking a home inspection.
- D.B., Roseville CA, March 2021

The inspection was explained and a lot of pictures were taken to document concerns. The inspection report was available the very next day. We found the company via the internet and were extremely satisfied with the service we received. We would highly recommend CB Property Inspections!
- L.T., March 2021
Chris was very friendly and professional. He put us at ease and made sure we understood what he found, how those things impacted the house today and could impact it in the future.
- L.D., March 2021
CBPI is the most thorough and knowledgeable home inspection service I have ever seen. Chris’ experience in all systems of a home—site, envelope, structure, roof, plumbing, mechanical, electrical, fire life safety-is unmatched. For buyers, particularly of new construction homes, a firm with this level of professionalism is critical, or you risk missing important elements. We highly recommend CBPI.

Chris did an amazing job! Not only did he find issues with a house that was only 2 years old, he explained each one thoroughly and in layman's terms. He ended up saving us over $1000 in things that would be easily overlooked by most people (maybe even other home inspectors).
- M.D., August 2020
From booking our appointment to receiving our report the experience has been wonderful and seamless. Chris is an amazing guy, so thorough and honest. Not only was his report provided quickly, but put together in a way that was easy for us to understand. He explained all of the items as well as very easily answered any and every question we had. We would definitely 10 out of 10 recommend having anyone use his services for their inspection needs.
