Why choose

We don't sell repairs, warranties, or referrals. Our only product is an accurate report.
Thermal imaging included
Infrared scanning comes standard on every full inspection — never a surprise add-on.
Photo-documented everything
Every finding has an image, a location, and a plain-English explanation of why it matters.
Built on trade experience
Real building knowledge, not checklist reading — we explain the cause, not just the symptom.
Our Services
What We Check
A standard inspection is a non-invasive, visual evaluation of the structure and its systems, performed by a certified professional and delivered as a digital photo report. Here is what that covers.
Roof Evaluation
We walk or scope the roof covering, flashings, penetrations, and drainage, then document the remaining service life you can plan around.
Foundation & Sub-Area
Slab, raised, or hillside — we enter accessible crawlspaces and look for movement, moisture intrusion, and framing defects that affect stability.
Electrical Components
Service entry, panels, breakers, grounding, outlets, and fixtures are tested for safety and capacity for the way the home is actually used.
Plumbing Supply & Drains
Supply materials, functional flow, drainage, water heater installation, and seismic strapping — plus visible signs of past leaks.
HVAC System Check
Heating and cooling equipment is operated in season, with delta-T readings, filter and duct condition, and remaining equipment life noted.
Attic, Insulation & Fireplace
Attic entry where accessible: ventilation, insulation depth, wiring irregularities, roof leaks, plus fireplace and chimney safety review.
From the field
Real photos from real San Diego inspections
Every photo below came off an actual job in San Diego County — no stock imagery. This is the same documentation style you'll see in your report, with the context that explains why it matters.
Tile roof with a rooftop solar array in East County. We document panel mounting, flashing at penetrations, and the tile condition under and around the racking.
Dead front removed: we check breaker sizing, double-taps, grounding and bonding — not just whether the lights turn on.
Circuit directory photographed for your records, including solar, EV charger, and pool circuits.
Infrared confirms what the eye can't: appliance heat output, missing insulation, and hidden moisture patterns.
Sewer scope at the cleanout. Root intrusion and offset joints are the most expensive surprise buyers inherit.
Coastal property with no accessible cleanout — we find a path to the line and record the full run on video.
Under the house: post-and-pier support, subfloor framing, and signs of moisture or pest damage.
Condenser units checked for clearance, refrigerant line insulation, disconnects, and operating temperature split.
Meter watched with all fixtures off — a creeping dial is often the first clue to a hidden supply leak.
Service area
Local knowledge, county-wide coverage
A 1958 La Mesa bungalow and a 2004 Otay Ranch tract home fail in completely different ways. Knowing which failures to expect on your street is what makes a report useful.
Common questions
What buyers ask us most
Still unsure? Call and ask. We answer inspection questions for free, whether you hire us or not.
How much does a home inspection cost in San Diego?
Price depends on square footage, age, foundation type, and which add-ons you need. Because every property is different, we quote each one directly — call (619) 634-9254 or send the property details and you'll have a firm number the same day.
How soon can you inspect my property?
We typically have availability within 24 to 72 hours, and we reserve slots for buyers on short contingency clocks. Call and tell us your deadline.
What areas of San Diego County do you serve?
All of it — from Coronado and La Jolla to Chula Vista, El Cajon, Poway, Escondido, Carlsbad, Encinitas, and Oceanside.
Do you inspect condos and new construction?
Yes. We inspect condos and townhomes, new builds at pre-drywall and final phases, and 11-month builder warranty walkthroughs.
