Home inspection questions, answered.

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.

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.

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.

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.

We send a digital report with photos that you can read on your phone or computer and easily share with your agent.

Yes. We inspect new construction before closing and do 11-month inspections before a builder’s one-year warranty runs out.
