Gold Coast Inspectors is the Trusted Source for Air Analysis & Home Inspections

Rest assured that your Malibu home is safe and sound with a thorough inspection.

The biggest investment many of us will make in our lifetimes is a home purchase. Your home inspector at Gold Coast Inspectors gives you invaluable information when purchasing a home.

Your report will be a professional and thorough evaluation of both the structure and the site on which it sits. You will be able to review the report with the inspector and learn which items require maintenance and which could be potential safety issues or problems with the structure itself.

We use Eurofins EMLab P&K exclusively for all of our mold analysis. Lab results can be provided in as little as one day.

Customer Reviews

Very professional, we used him 3 times, always punctual, he sent the reports fast and he was very thorough. Highly recommend him.

Periklis P.

Had a terrific experience with Scott. I’m buying a condo in Oxnard which had had some prior issues and repairs. Scott took the time and listened to my concerns and did a very complete inspection. He addressed all my questions and also reviewed some previous inspection/repair docs from the seller to ensure that things were as they should be. Happy to recommend.

Mary-Pat C.

Highly professional and extremely knowledgeable. Highly recommend.

Ron K.

Scott always is on time for an inspection. He is prepared and does his inspection thoroughly, and in a timely manner. He seems always patient with my buyers; answering their questions either at the end of the inspection or takes the time to discuss something during the inspection. To me it shows a level of compassion and understanding of the client’s needs. I appreciate that.

Kathy K.

Scott looked gave us recommendations based on the test results we were working with. He was honest and helpful. We’ve decided to replace our HVAC and install an air scrubber to help with air quality. Scott was able to recommend the air scrubber he’s used in the past.

Cara M.

Gold Coast Inspectors is my first choice in home inspection. They are prompt in returning calls and scheduling an inspection as quickly as possible to meet the clients’ schedules. The reports are returned promptly also and are very thorough. Scott shares his knowledge and expertise with the client in a way that is easy for them to understand items he calls attention to.
