General Contractor – Where he and Heather owned Halliday Home Builders in Temecula, CA. During this time, the state of CA did not required Home Inspectors to be licensed, therefore many realtors began asking Brian if he could inspect homes for their clients due to his construction background and knowledge of the residential building envelope.

In 2013, Brian also began working as a construction defect inspector for a company called Bert Howe and Assoc. representing the developer. Later in 2014, he was a const. defect inspector for a company called Ball CM representing the homeowners involved in class action lawsuits.

I absolutely recommend Brian Halliday to perform your home inspections. He did two inspections for me in record time while being extremely thorough. He saw things I could have never seen. His report was very clear, detailed and done within the day. In addition to his professionalism, he was super nice to talk to and gave me great advice to improve my house to suit my interests best, from both my personal point of view and as an investment. I will be using him in the future, it was a perfect experience.

Any anxiet that I had walking into this inspection was immediately gone when I saw how detailed and thorough Brian was. He dotted every I and crossed every T and made sure both me and my realestate agent understood everything that was not up to standard with the property.
