Buyer’s inspection
Buyer’s home inspection in Fresno, Clovis & Madera
A buyer’s home inspection is a top-to-bottom, non-invasive look at the home you’re under contract to buy. We check the roof, structure, electrical, plumbing, heating and cooling and more, then send a photo report so you can negotiate repairs or move forward with confidence before your contingency ends.
What we check
- Roof, flashing, gutters and drainage
- Attic, insulation and ventilation
- Foundation and visible structure
- Electrical panel, wiring, outlets and GFCIs
- Plumbing, fixtures and water heater
- Heating and air conditioning
- Windows, doors, walls, ceilings and floors
- Exterior, stucco, grading and drainage
- Built-in kitchen appliances
- Garage and garage door safety
What a standard inspection doesn’t cover
- Anything hidden inside walls, under flooring or behind stored items
- The inside of the sewer line (that takes a camera scope)
- Termite and wood-destroying pest reports
- Code compliance or permit history
In California, termite reports come from licensed pest control companies. We’re glad to point you in the right direction.
Why it matters
Your best chance to ask for repairs.
Negotiate with facts
Photos and clear notes give you and your agent something concrete to bring to the seller.
Budget for what’s next
Know which items are urgent, which can wait, and which are just normal wear.
Avoid expensive surprises
Roof, foundation, electrical and HVAC issues cost the most. Those are exactly where we spend our time.
Good to know
Buyer questions.
When should I schedule my inspection?
As soon as your offer is accepted. California purchase contracts usually give buyers a limited investigation period (often 17 days), and you’ll want time for follow-up quotes before it ends.
Should I attend?
Yes, if you can. Come for as much as you like. The walkthrough at the end is where you get the most value.
What if the report finds problems?
Every home has some. Your report separates safety items and big-ticket repairs from routine maintenance, so you and your agent can decide what to ask the seller for.
