John Laforme established Home Inspection Authority, who entered the construction industry at a young age. John shifted to framing, roofing, siding, and constructing additions to homes as well as constructing decks and roof coverings. After a number of years of leading a framing crew for a big construction company, he started buying properties and performing complete remodels and enhancing all home systems in homes to sell them for profit. After a number of years flipping houses and seeing all the handyman work done to these homes, John opted to open a home inspection service because of his meticulous nature and knowledge of the major systems in a home such as roofing, heating and air conditioning, framing, plumbing, and electrical. This led to the creation of Home Inspection Authority.

Great guy and very knowledgeable. I didn't expect to learn so much from him regarding the home. There were so many things that he pointed out which now gave me a list of future projects. I highly recommend this company!

I almost never write reviews but I was so impressed with John's professionalism I couldn't help myself! John is very through with his inspection. He charged for 1 hour but he spent around 2 hours to inspect the 2 bedroom apartment less than 1000 sqft that I am planning to purchase. After his inspection, he pointed out the issues one by one and explained in detail in layman's terms. He is a true professional and an honest great guy. Highly recommend him!

On time, professional , knowledgeable and to the point. The report is easy to understand and detailed. I sent out the report to contractors and let them bid away.

There are not enough words in the English language to describe how amazing John's work is. The report was so thorough and detailed. Honestly, my real estate agent said she has never seen a more robust and clearly laid out Inspection Report. She was so impressed with his work that she's going to be recommending all her future clients to work with John. I feel very lucky to have come across Home Inspection Authority. It has made this first time home buyer feel better about everything

John, please stop harassing me. I tried to work this out via you and I, but you are difficult and rude to deal with.

Yelp asked me to remove the name of the other inspection company that I ended up going with... So I did. As you can clearly see... yelp did NOT remove my review!

I spoke to you Wednesday night about a tentative Friday appointment and gave you my clients information, clearly telling you I had to confirm with my client first.

The very next morning at 7:27 AM , I let you know know my client prefers a Monday appointment. WHY would you send a confirmation text and a link to my client at 9:08 AM that same morning?? I then sent a voice message asking WHY you're confirming an appointment when I've been asking to change it!! SNEAKY, and dishonest!

You have some major miscommunication issues

We used John's services for two homes while in escrow. He did an outstanding job and was very thorough. Our real estate agent was impressed with John's work and has used/recommended him to other clients.

John's reports were detailed and organized. It made it very easy during escrow to request repairs and receive seller credits towards closing. John also provides a handy guide to help maintain your home. Would not hesitate to use his services again.

We reached out to John for a home and sewer inspection for a home we are purchasing. John responded right away, and offered us his earliest possible appointments. He arrived before his scheduled time, speaking with us briefly before he got to work.

He moved quickly, but inspected thoroughly. After the inspection, he gave us the highlights, and a day or two later, we had our home and sewer report online in a clean and easy to use online interface. We were able to easily compile a list of repair requests for the sellers along with his photos and explanations.

We were extremely impressed with his professionalism and quality work, and would be glad to recommend John to anyone in the LA area. Thanks, John!
