Who is really on your side when you buy a home?
The bank works for itself, the lender works for the bank and the appraiser works for the lender. The termite company works for the seller. That leaves only two people on the buyer's side: your buyer's agent, if you have one, and your home inspector.
Mark Kinder has been that inspector since 1998, working as a home inspector in Garden Grove, CA and across Orange County. Booking a home inspection in Huntington Beach, CA? You get Mark's experience and a next-business-day report, and our clients rate us 5.0 on Google.
You always get Mark
Who will actually inspect my home?
Mark will, every time. Unlike big multi-inspector firms, ThoroughSpec never sends whoever is free that day. The person who answers your call inspects your home and walks you through what he found.
Mark's background includes construction, termite and appraisal work, so he reads a house from more than one angle: how it was built, what could be damaging it and what it means for value. He has done more than 10,000 inspections and is InterNACHI Certified (member #NACHI06032194), a member for 15 years.
When ever asked for a home inspector referral I always offer people two options, I tell them they have two choices, either the big companies, of which, you can get a different inspector every time or they can use someone I have used personally, Mark Kinder of ThoroughSpec Home Inspections. Mark does the inspections himself and if the buyer has any questions they can speak directly to Mark. Mark always does a "thorough" inspection and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him!

Reviews
What do Orange County buyers and agents say about Mark?
Here's what one Huntington Beach agent told Mark:
As a real estate professional, I rely on good affiliates to assist with my clients' transactions. Mark is a very professional home inspector and great to work with. He is thorough and completes his report with accompanied pictures for reference and details. It makes it very easy to negotiate a request for repairs if necessary with his findings.
FAQ
Home inspection questions, answered
How much does a home inspection cost in Huntington Beach?
ThoroughSpec Home Inspections prices each inspection based on the features of the home. If you are using only one factor when choosing your inspector, make it experience — the inspection fee is a short-term cost, but a missed finding can have costly long-term implications. Call or text (714) 404-3392 for your fee and to schedule.
How fast will I get my inspection report?
The next business day after your inspection. Mark also walks you through the findings before he leaves, so you know the big issues right away.
Will the same inspector who quotes me do my inspection?
Yes. At ThoroughSpec you always get Mark Kinder, with no rotating crew. Mark does the inspection, the walk-through and the follow-up.
Is Mark Kinder a certified home inspector?
Yes. Mark is InterNACHI Certified (member #NACHI06032194), a member for 15 years. California doesn't issue a state credential for home inspectors, so certification and experience matter. Mark has inspected homes since 1998.
