Seller’s pre-listing inspection
Find issues on your timeline, before a buyer does, so escrow goes smoother.
Mold inspection
A careful search for visible mold and the moisture problems that feed it.
New construction and 11-month warranty inspection

FAQ
Questions people ask before they book.
Don’t see your question? Give us a call. We’re happy to help, even if you’re not ready to book yet.
(559) 479-1296How long does a home inspection take?
Most single-family homes take about two to four hours. Bigger, older or harder-to-access homes can take longer. We will give you a time estimate when you book.
Should I be there for the inspection?
We encourage it. Join us for as much as you like, but the last half hour is the most valuable: we walk you through what we found and answer your questions in person.
What does a home inspection cover?
A visual, non-invasive look at the home’s major systems and components: roof, attic, structure and foundation, electrical, plumbing, water heater, heating and cooling, windows, doors, interior, exterior and grading.
What is not included?
We can’t see inside walls, under flooring or inside sewer lines. In California, termite and wood-destroying pest reports are done by licensed pest control companies, so book that separately.
Can a house fail a home inspection?
No. An inspection is not pass or fail. It is a clear picture of the home’s condition so you can negotiate, plan repairs or move forward with confidence.
How much does a home inspection cost?
Pricing depends on the home’s size, age and the type of inspection. Call us or send the form with the address and we will give you an exact quote.
