Alliance Real Estate Inspections
About
Our inspectors have over 40 years of experience combined with both residential and commercial inspections.
Weekend and late afternoon appointments are also available.
Easy to read, comprehensive computer-generated reports with color photos, delivered on-site in most cases.
Full consultation with the inspector to personally review the report – including walking through the building, pointing out findings and answering your questions.
A verbal summary is given with diplomacy as we understand that the buying or selling of a home is a very personal and important transaction.
Unbiased and detailed reporting per ASHI and CREIA standards.
We do property inspections only and do not profit from any needed repairs.
Prompt and personal attention with courteous and professional service.
Get your questions answered in a timely manner before, during and after the inspection.
We carry Errors and Omissions Insurance plus general liability.
We love helping people find their perfect home or getting them out of a purchase that may require too many repairs and be too costly.

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
Customer calls office, we note down the information on the building and give them a quote. We will also give them a brief overview of what the inspection includes or doesn't include. We schedule the inspection, send them the contract and they sign it, then send it back.
Onsite, ideally the client is present. The inspector performs the inspection and then walks client through the property and goes over his findings. Client pays inspector and then receives the report in pdf format via email the following day (sometimes sooner, but for larger commercial the wait time for report may be 3 days or more)
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
Robert Gaudreault, owner of Alliance Real Estate Inspections, has been in the construction industry for over 40 years and has too many credits to list in full.

He is an MCI (Master CREIA Inspector), which is the highest inspector status with the California Real Estate Inspection Association. Robert is also a member of ASHI and is a past president of the San Gabriel Valley chapter of CREIA. He’s performed many thousands of inspections since 1998.
Do you have a standard pricing system for your services? If so, please share the details here.
Fees vary according to size, type and location. Please call for quote.
We have the full inspections following CREIA for residential or ASTM for commercial. But we also have the Limited Building Inspection which covers systems only for a reduced fee.
What types of customers have you worked with?
We've worked with every kind of property, ranging from condos to complex industrial buildings. Our clients have ranged from home buyers to large corporations like Disney and Nissan.
What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a pro in your area of expertise?
Look at the contractor's reviews, check their credentials and experience. Ask them questions, see how they respond. If they are willing to take their time and answer your questions over the phone, they will probably take their time and help you onsite with your property.
What questions should customers think through before talking to pros about their needs?
Customers should ask about pricing, what kinds of things are noted in the reports, what items/systems are included in the inspection and which are not. Ask them if they have any certifications and how long they've been doing inspections, as well as how long they've been in the construction industry.
