Unlikely that you would find a more detail-​oriented inspector. Seasoned, knowledgeable, down-​to-​earth guy. His pricing is on the upper end but you definitely get what you pay for. Highly recommended.

Hire Neal.
I normally don’t write reviews, but decided to spend some time to write this one. If you a looking for someone to inspect your home, hire Neal. He is very meticulous. He loves this job and therefore is very good at what he does. He explained to me all the problems after the inspection and the report was in great details. Even a couple weeks after the inspection, I had a question regarding one item in his report, he replied to my email promptly and explained to me further what the problem was. I definitely recommend Neal.

If it were possible, I would give this company 0 out of 5 start. We even considered legal action due to the negligence on the part of Neal. However, the attorney stated that the only one who would win financially in the transaction would be the attorneys representing both sides. Don’t be fooled by his statements of being bonded and legal recourse if he were wrong, etc. etc. You as the purchaser have a lot to lose by Neal’s incompetence.
We purchased a home in 2010 and almost immediately experience significant issues. What really pains my wife and I is the fact that half the issues were completely visible to the naked eye and were even brought up by our real estate agent in the walk through. Neal however stated that it was nothing and that we should not be concerned about them. The remaining issues were not apparent to the naked eye however, our contractor stated that a good inspector should have been able to detect and note the items in the escrow process.
Please reconsider if you are considering this company. We learned a valuable lesson and have encouraged friends and neighbors to stay far away. We have fixed all of the issues that Neal missed and spent thousands of dollars which we did not expect.

This is the third time I’ve used Asset Inspection & Consulting Services, going back to my first home purchase in 1998. Neal is thorough and meticulous, and I couldn’t recommend him more highly! He’ll take you through every issue point by point and explain in detail the options and the tradeoffs, and he makes himself available for followup questions. His depth and breadth of knowledge will impress you, and his passion for his work is evident.

My old review still warrants reading (seriously, read it because I go into considerably greater detail), but is in need of an update.
Neal finally started doing computerized reports — this means it takes a couple extra days to get his findings, but they’re worth the wait. Photos of problems whenever appropriate are incorporated, and he now goes into even greater detail in his comments.
12 years and over 2,500 transactions deep, Asset Inspection is still hands down, bar none, the best inspection company I’ve ever dealt with in the state.

Neal Muckler of Asset Inspection did our first house about 13 years ago and lucky for us we became friends with a very fine human being. If you need a good, reliable and trustworthy inspection, you just need to know that Neal is the most up and up guy you will find. No hidden agenda, all professional and the best your money can buy. We’ve used his services many times, and sometimes as a sounding board. Sometimes, we even use his services before entering into escrow because we didn’t want to be tied up with a bad property at the get go. We can’t say enough about him and that is rare.

Meticulous, detailed, friendly, and easy to talk to. There isn’t any more you can ask from a home inspector. He even did a follow-​up inspection of the heater after ADG&E re-​lit the pilot light.

Not surprisingly Neil has gotten very busy. Everyone we ask (not realtors) recommends him. When we needed an inspection he was already booked out 3 weeks! He did recommend other inspectors and we used Joe Ramuno who was also very good. He spent over 5 hours inspecting a 3600 sqft home for us. He went on the roof 3 times to confirm the hot water heater wasn’t properly venting. If you can’t get an appt with Neil I’d have no qualms about using Joe (Focus Inspection).

My husband and I have recently used Neal Muckler to obtain a second opinion on our home inspection report that was originally written by our recommended home inspector. Our home inspector used to purchase our home was terrible and opted out a glaring omission in our home inspection. This led to a discovery of dry rot, damage along with mold within the frames of a wall and financial burden. All this could have been avoided if attention to detail was used and if it were noted on our original report.
Neal took the time to listen and assist us in writing a detailed report substantiating CA’s real estate inspection processes and procedures and what a competent home inspector should do for their clients. Mr. Muckler’s report was comprehensive and highlighted areas which would of been red flags to any other competent home inspector.
I highly recommend Neal Muckler’s as your next home inspector. He is sincere, dedicated, detail oriented and is easily accessible. You will be impressed with his professionalism and knowledge.
Thank you Neal for all your help!
