What Our Customers Say

After a thorough search for deck inspection companies in the Southern California area, we decided on California Deck Inspection LLC. It was a combination of years in business, prompt response and clear communication that moved us to hire Mr. Schlagel. We couldn’t be happier with the outcome! Jim’s on-site inspection, report and detailed photos were spot on. Not only did they exemplify problem areas but they also helped tremendously in detailing the scope of work to be bid on by potential contractors. His availability for follow-up conversations throughout this process reassured us of making a great choice. I highly recommend Jim Schlagel, California Deck Inspection LLC !

After careful review, we hired Jim Schlagel and his company California Deck Inspection to perform a comprehensive inspection of all of our decks at Emerald Cove Apartments in Huntington Beach. Jim was prompt and efficient. I will be calling on them again. Excellent work and knowledge regarding our decks, coatings, and railings.

I hired California Deck Inspection (CDI) to inspect my balconies and decks. Jim Schlagel did a great job, was very timely and his report was well written – which included 49 photos of my property. I highly recommend his services.
