Loved By Homeowners
Don't just take our word for it. Here's what our satisfied clients have to say about their experience working with us.
The foundation inspection from Cecilia Home was incredibly thorough. Mason personally led the structural assessment team and identified drainage issues causing foundation settlement that three previous inspectors had missed. Their detailed report included clear photos documenting each problem and provided prioritized repair recommendations that saved our hillside home from potentially catastrophic damage.

We were about to purchase a Victorian home in San Francisco when Mason from Cecilia Home conducted a foundation inspection that revealed significant seismic vulnerabilities not disclosed by the seller. The comprehensive foundation report explained exactly how inadequate retrofitting created risks specific to our neighborhood's soil conditions. Thanks to Cecilia Home's inspection expertise, we negotiated $80,000 off the purchase price to cover necessary repairs.

We almost walked away from our dream home when we noticed foundation cracks during the viewing. Cecilia Home's pre-purchase foundation inspection distinguished between cosmetic settling cracks and actual structural issues. Mason personally reviewed the property's geological conditions and provided a clear explanation of what needed immediate attention versus what could be monitored, giving us the confidence to proceed with the purchase.

As a property investor, I rely on Mason and Cecilia Home's foundation inspections before every multi-unit purchase. Their structural assessment of a Santa Barbara apartment complex identified progressive foundation settlement issues that would have been catastrophic if left unaddressed.
