Archive Property Inspection

My husband and I are buying a home and our realtor, Risa, recommended we use Steve and his company. She said I could call around to interview a few inspectors before making a decision but I knew the moment I spoke with Steve on the phone that this was the company I would use. He was very prompt at answering my call, and if he missed a call he would call back within 5 minutes. He answered every question very clearly and thoroughly. He was extremely friendly and I could tell right away that this was the company we wanted to use. (We had another inspection years ago and I only wish we used API then!).
Today was our inspection and we met Tommy at the new home. WOW! He was absolutely incredible! He was early, and all set up by the time we arrived. He was extremely professional and the nicest guy. He explained the process, and was thorough and precise. He not only did his job well but he was friendly and personable, and we could tell he wasn’t rushing through to hurry out. We are buying a big house, so it was a long inspection, but Tommy was so thorough and patient. We will be recommending everyone that needs an inspection to use API.
Thank you team for your outstanding customer service and being great at your jobs!

Awesome communication and flexibility when the seller postponed our inspection multiple times. Our inspection was very thorough and was complete with pictures. The only thing I wish was different on the actual report would be to have a summary page just so it would be easier when creating your list for the request for repairs. I would absolutely recommend this company!

Steve and Randy are amazing. They are professional, knowledgable, and so patient. They included us in the whole inspection. They explained in detail exactly what they included in the inspection report and why. We appreciated their thoroughness and attention to detail. They made us feel really comfortable especially being first time home buyers. We couldn’t have asked for a better inspection company. Thank you Steve and Randy for the great customer service and all the referrals.

These guys are amazing! They r v professional and have tremendous knowledge in the business. Have used them a couple of times. Steve and his team do a thorough job! He looked from top to bottom and was very patient in explaining everything to us and made recommendations how we can resolve certain issues. I couldn’t of asked for a better inspection done by Randy!
I would highly recommend them !! Thank you archive property inspection!

Steve is amazing — he’s efficient and very detailed. We purchased a new construction home — he came our during construction and caught some potentially major issues with the bath/​shower down the road had we not hired him and found these during construction we may not have known by the time the house was completed. He also completed our final inspection after construction was completed, he’s very thorough and sees every detail. I would highly recommend Steve for your next home inspection.

Tommy was extremely professional, knowledgeable, and included us in the process. As first time home buyers we really hoped to get his perspective on the house and all its strengths and weaknesses and he provided excellent customer service in that regard. Plus, he’s a super nice guy — the kind you could grab a beer with. Thanks Tommy and Archive!

They did our house inspection last year and we prove that what has been reported can be trusted. We address small/​minor issues and our house is in tip tip condition.

Our realtor recommend Archive Property Inspection to us for our first home, and my wife and I were both very happy with Tommy and his knowledge/​services!
Tommy arrived right on time and took a few hours to inspect and take photos of numerous things through the interior and exterior of the house.
At the end, he presented all of his findings and recommendations in what he noticed. He was very thorough and simplified it for me whenever I had a question about one of his findings.
Even almost a month after he came by to inspect our house, I called Tommy with a question regarding asbestos in removing the popcorn ceiling in our house, and he was able to help me out in making a decision if I was gonna remove it or not.
When we sell and buy our next house, I will definitely call Tommy/​Archive Inspection again! I highly recommended you call them too if you need a property inspector in the area.

There are a lot of Property Inspectors, just like there are a lot of Realtors. When you apply your criteria of Accomodation, Friendliness, Professionalism, Punctuality, Fair Pricing and a Colored Picture report right on the spot, Archive is as good as it gets.
You might say ‘Good olde fashioned service mixed with cutting edge technology’ is a good combo for me and my clients.

Tommy from Archive Property Inspection was outstanding! We are a first time home buyer and being out of town, he communicated with us from start to finish. He was extremely thorough with his inspection and found 15+ minor discrepencies. After the home owners fixed everything, he made a follow up inspection and took pictures from start to finish since we were not able to be there. These guys are top notch and would recommend them to anyone!!! A++++

We’re out-​of-​towners so we relied on the Unilocal reviews for home inspectors. Archive Property is worthy of its 5-​star ratings. Tommy did our initial inspection, pointed out needed repairs that we would normally have missed, and even gave us an easy-​to-​read recap. Tommy also did the final walk-​through inspection to confirm that all the repairs were done correctly. I had to cancel a couple of appointments but the company (and Tommy) were more than accomodating. The company is very professional and easy to work with.

I went through Archive Property Inspection based on the Unilocal reviews and also because they’re BBB certified. My inspector, Tom, did a great job! He was very thorough in his inspection and very professional. He even found an issue in the attic that must have been missed by the inspectors from the previous homeowners.
Tom was easy to talk to and passed down a lot of information regarding the house, such as when to replace certain items in the future and what to monitor in usual wear and tear of the house. He didn’t mind me walking through the inspection with him, he actually encouraged it.
The inspection report was emailed to me the SAME DAY as the inspection! It came in with detailed comments and colored pictures of the issues that were found.
Overall, I couldn’t be happier and I’m glad we went through Archive Property!

I used Archive Property Inspection for a home inspection in Temecula, CA. Tony was my inspector and he did an excellent job. The whole process from scheduling to receiving the inspection report was very smooth. One thing I really thought was great was that Tony printed the inspection report on site immediately following the inspection and briefed all parties involved and answered any questions that anyone had. I would recommend using this company!

I am in the Real Estate business and we have used Steve for years and have always had a great experience. His reports are thorough, comprehensive and affordable.

Steve has done a fantastic job for my clients. As a real estate agent, I need to be sure an inspector is going to be thorough and knowledgeable about all systems in the home. He gives a typed report upon completion and answers all buyers questions.

My wife and had purchased a home many years ago… when asked if I wanted a home inspector… my ego got the best of me and I said .“I can do that myself…2 years later my home nearly burnt down to the ground because I missed the recalled heater in the attic. Needless to say when we purchased our second home we had Steve come on out. He literally walks you through every detail of your home and for better or worse lets you know exactly what you are buying. He is very professional and has a well rounded knowledge of construction. There is no better Home Inspector period other than Steve Swanson & Archive Home Inspection!

Archive Property inspection is as good as it gets. Steve Swanson is thorough, smart, and provides peace of mind. I have referred him to friends on two separate occasions – and both friends also gave glowing reviews. Bottom line: after Steve Swanson is done inspecting your home, you can rest assured there will be no hidden surprises after your purchasing your home.

Archive is the company I most refer to when my clients need a home inspection. Steve & his team are incredibly user friendly & thorough in their approach. He is unique in giving on the spot color reports with plenty of written & visual detail. One of my first time homebuyers who just closed on a property had questions about something that was no longer working in the home. Steve got on the phone with her & walked her thru an instant fix. Fantastic service!

Steve was thorough and took his time inspecting the house I was buying. He invited me to walk with him as he inspected every inch of the house. His report detailed all the issues we found so it was easy to use the report when asking the seller to fix the problems. The inspection took 3 hours and I was tired at the end. But, I felt that we had looked in every nook and cranny of the house.
I liked working with him. He came highly recommended and I see why.

I work for Keller Williams and Steve Swanson (Archive Property Inspection) is my «go to guy» whenever I need a home inspection in the SW Riverside or San Diego areas. I have worked with Steve Swanson for several years. He came highly recommended from a friend of mine and he has never let me or my clients down. Steve is a true professional. He arrives at every appointment on time, fully prepared and with a smile on his face. He sets up his laptop, printer and gets to work methodically inspecting every home system inside and out from foundation to roof. He knows what to look for, makes fair and professional assessments of each and every item and prepares home inspection reports on the spot that highlight everything from home dangers to deferred maintenance to «keep an eye on this» suggestions. I have two home inspections coming up next week and am confident that my clients could not possibly be better served with their home inspection needs. Keep up the great work!
