Brendt Mullan – BPG Inspection

Fantastic service from a knowledgeable inspector!
We hired Brendt for a full home inspection for our first purchase. He was very thorough and discovered issues from the nitty gritty details to the major ones. All of our concerns for were put to rest and we went through with the purchase. We are now in the closing process and we can’t be happier!
Highly recommended!!!

Brendt is exceptional. He is thorough, careful and clear to explain what he is doing and why, and what is within and outside the scope of his services. He is timely, responsive, and thoughtful. He was generous with his time, happily spending over an hour with us on the phone to have a follow-​up conversation after we reviewed his thorough report. He is experienced, and brought that experience to bear when inspecting the house in Berkeley we were considering buying. He spotted several issues, noted where he thought we should have follow-​up inspections from experts in the field, and gave his own candid and honest views of things while making clear the scope of his investigation. I can be an annoying client — I followed Brendt around as he was doing his job, asking what he was looking at and why, what he wasn’t looking at and why, about the professional standards he believed he was responsible for meeting, and a variety of other on– and off-​topic issues. He was gracious, smart, thoughtful, and responsive, and, to boot, a pleasure to be around. I’ll certainly look for him specifically the next time we’re in the market for a house.

When my wife and I found out that our home purchase bid was accepted, our real estate agent advised us to order our own home inspection since the company the seller used was known for mediocre work. He advised us to reach out to Brendt as an inspector he fully trusted. My wife and I shadowed Brendt and his assitant through the entire house. They pointed out areas of concern that Brendt ultimately would detail in his report. They also offered us repair options for certain items and professional labor hour estimates of the time it would take to fix them. He even took us into the crawl space under the home and the attic to point out things he noticed in both spaces. Most importantly, Brendt’s inspection revealed a number of hot ticket items that the sellers’ inspection report failed to even mention. His report was super comprehensive and was an invaluable tool in our negotiations with the seller about price credits we wanted versus items we asked them to repair. On our return inspection his report served as an easy checklist to confirm that our requested repairs were completed. Brendt is super professional, kind, and helpful. I really appreciate that he also told my wife and I that we could call him anytime with follow-​up questions about the things his inspection revealed. This will be huge as we tackle projects on the home going forward. If you need a home inspection, rest assured you’re in good hands with Brendt.

Brendt was extremely personable and informative. I will admit that I don’t have much experience with inspectors, but Brendt was patient and helpful in showing us exactly the things he’d be noting on the report and more. Since I am less experienced with this, it was great to work with someone so willing to teach so I could really learn and put together a to-​do list of things to fix as soon as our purchase is complete. Also, the website to pay and download the report is very easy to use and worked well on my iPhone. Overall, great customer experience across the board. Thanks!

Excellent work Brendt! My experience with Brendt is more or less on par with all the reviews posted thus far. Great service and an outstanding report.

Brendt and his contractor were great! Overall: prompt, thorough, explained everything along the way and gave a very detailed report. Laddering up to a high roof and maneuvering into a tiny crawl space were all part of Brendt’s investigations. We felt assured we were getting a solid review of the house! With all our questions/​concerns that came up along the way, they were responsive and we never felt rushed. Would definitely recommend Brendt.

Brendt is my go to for all of my home inspections. He is punctual and very professional. He squeezes me into his schedule whenever I require his services. His rates are reasonable, and he turns around reports in 24 hours or less. He is a genuinely nice guy, and I recommend him highly.

Brendt was absolutely fantastic. This was our first home purchase, so we were worried about what might come up in the inspection report. Brendt let us shadow him and he took us around the entire house explaining what was what and if anything needed fixing. I was even in the crawl space with him while he explained his findings to me.
It’s great having a written report to go over what was examined, but it is one million times better when you have had the inspector walk you through it all personally. Brendt also gave us recommendations for items that needed to be addressed, which gives us that much more confidence when we need to get someone in to fix something.
In short, Brendt was top drawer!

Brendt was awesome — he was professional, helpful, and thorough. He let us shadow him while he inspected which was a great way to get to know our house. While inspecting he shared helpful insight and explained what he was putting in his report. We would highly recommend him!

I rarely write Unilocal reviews, but just had to share our wonderful experience with Brendt during our first ever home inspection on a property that we just entered into contract to buy.
Brendt is an expertly knowledgeable, professional, and thorough inspector. His communication skills are top notch, and he taught us in incredible amount about our home in the 3 – 4 hour walk-​through. He also has a great sense of humor. My wife and I have never lived in a single family home before, and we really didn’t know anything about the structure, plumbing, electrical systems, or any of the other components of our new home. He really took his time to teach us about our new home, and how to maintain it over the years to come. We really couldn’t have been happier with our experience, and would highly recommend Brendt or anyone from BPG Inspection.

Brendt is great at what he does. He looked at every aspect of our home, and educated us on care and best practices. He answered our numerous questions with thoroughness and respect. He is a down-​to-​earth straight shooter — a true (fellow) midwesterner! Brendt also let us know that he would be available by phone, post-​inspection, if we had any questions. We did, and he took extra time to assist us! Excellent service. Thank you Brendt for making our inspection enjoyable!

Brendt is a professional, well-​rounded inspector. He cares about his clients and enjoys his job. In fact I enjoyed my time as he educated me about home ownership, what to look out for, and was very patient while answering all of my questions. He is personable and has great communication skills. I highly recommend him!

Brendt did more than simply thoroughly inspect our new property. He educated us on how to care for our home and gave us terrific tips on risks to watch out for. He gave us timelines on when to expect problems and what to watch for beforehand. Brendt has great passion for his work and makes what could be a stressful process much more relaxed and dare I say, even fun?

As a realtor I have worked with a number of different home inspectors. BPG is a great reputable company and Brendt is an excellent home inspector! We have worked together on several properties and I appreciate his thoroughness and the quality of his work. He’s thoughtful and patient answering questions and teaching as he goes along. He’s also reliable and punctual. I have had nothing but positive feedback from all of my clients and I highly recommend Brendt if you are looking for a great home inspector.

Brendt did a great job for us. He was thorough, communicative, articulate, and helpful. I’d use him again any time!

Brendt was fantastic. Very personable, organized and methodical. Gave practical, useful advise as he explained what he was finding during the course of the inspection. I would use his services again, and recommend his services to others without reservation.

We just finished our inspection with Brendt and I was very impressed by his professionalism and attention to detail. When we finished, the seller’s agent remarked that he had never seen an inspection go for more than an hour for a small home like the one we’re buying. Brendt took almost 2.5 hours to walk us through, and he never wasted time. He spent every minute either inspecting every inch of the home, remarking on notable finds, or answering questions from a newbie home-​owner like myself. I learned a great deal about how the various systems in the home operate, and most importantly, I have total peace of mind to sign on the dotted line and finally move in. Thank you!

I am local real estate agent in Alameda. Brendt simply does a good job. He always introduces himself to my client, tells them what he looks for, encourages them to follow him, ask questions, and summarizes his thoughts about of the property. Brendt will not rush you through it, he is patient through the process and will take time to answer any questions you may have even after the inspection. He always makes himself available by phone or by email. When my clients use Brendt they are very pleased.

I am in contract on a home in Oakland and just yesterday had a home inspection from Brendt Mullan with Inspection Pros. He was so great that I was inspired to write a review — my first on Unilocal!The house we are hoping to buy is pretty small, but nonetheless he allowed me to follow him around for almost 4 hours, patiently answering my every question and educating me on many points relevant to the inspection and general home maintenance of which I was ignorant, this being my first time buying. His inspection was incredibly thorough — he went over that little house as carefully as if it belonged to him. The report, which we received within a couple hours of the start of business the following day (our inspection took place in the late afternoon), was detailed and comprehensible, with pictures illustrating every point. He was also careful, both in person and in writing, to explain the categories and the prioritizing of repairs.
Hope I get this home! If I do, I’ll have an awesome to-​do list for creating the best-​maintained home in the Bay Area! It would be worth paying a guy like this to inspect a home you already own, just to make sure you catch everthing that might go wrong. Friendly, professional, and thorough — I can’t recommend him highly enough!
