What we inspect
Inspections for every stage of the home
Whether you're closing on a first home, listing a property, or protecting a new build, there's a right inspection for the moment. Here's what each one covers.
Buyer's Home Inspection
A full pre-purchase inspection of the entire home before you sign. We walk the structure, systems, roof, and grounds so you know exactly what you're buying — and where the money will go.
- Foundation, framing & structure
- Roof, attic & envelope
- Electrical, plumbing & HVAC
- Interior, appliances & safety devices
Seller's / Pre-Listing Inspection
Get ahead of surprises before your home hits the market. A pre-listing inspection lets you fix issues on your terms, price with confidence, and keep escrow moving once offers arrive.
- Full-home condition report
- Repair priorities flagged
- Disclosure-ready documentation
- Fewer last-minute deal killers
New Construction & Phase Inspections
A new home isn't a flawless home. We provide an independent set of eyes at key phases — before drywall, at completion, and at final walkthrough — to catch what busy builders miss.
- Pre-drywall / framing stage
- Rough-in of systems
- Final completion review
- Punch-list documentation
11th-Month Warranty Inspection
Most builder warranties expire at one year. Scheduled in month eleven, this inspection surfaces settling, workmanship, and system issues while they're still the builder's responsibility — not yours.
- Structural & cosmetic settling
- Systems performance check
- Workmanship & finish defects
- Warranty-claim documentation
Re-Inspection
Negotiated repairs after your first inspection? We return to verify the work was actually done — and done right — before you release contingencies or hand over final funds.
- Confirm agreed repairs completed
- Verify quality of workmanship
- Updated photo documentation
- Peace of mind before closing
Roof Inspection
The roof is your home's first line of defense against Bakersfield sun and seasonal rain. We assess the covering, flashing, penetrations, and drainage to catch leaks before they reach the framing.
- Roof covering & wear
- Flashing & penetrations
- Gutters & water management
- Signs of active or past leaks
Foundation & Structural Evaluation
Kern County soils move, and foundations tell the story. We evaluate slabs, footings, load paths, and telltale cracks or displacement so you can judge whether movement is cosmetic or costly.
- Slab & footing condition
- Load paths & framing
- Cracks, settlement & movement
- Moisture & drainage factors
HVAC, Electrical & Plumbing Check
The home's core systems are where safety and repair budgets collide. We test heating and cooling performance, the electrical service and panel, and the plumbing supply and drainage for defects and hazards.
- Heating & cooling performance
- Service panel, wiring & grounding
- Supply, drainage & water heater
- Safety devices & visible leaks
