BETTER INFORMATION. BETTER DECISIONS.
What Our Residential Inspection Covers
Our inspectors walk every accessible area of the home, documenting conditions and flagging anything that needs attention. We never rush. Here's what's covered
Structural Components
Foundation, framing, floors, walls, ceilings, roof structure, and attic — we check for signs of settlement, water intrusion, and structural movement that could signal bigger problems.
Roof & Exterior
Roof covering, flashing, gutters, downspouts, exterior siding, windows, doors, and the condition of driveways and walkways adjacent to the structure.
Electrical Systems
Main electrical panel, branch wiring, outlets, GFCI/AFCI protection, smoke and CO detectors, and visible wiring throughout. We observe and document the condition of these systems, noting potential safety concerns.
Plumbing Inspection
Water supply and drain lines, water heater, fixtures, and visible pipe conditions. We check for leaks, corrosion, improper installations, and signs of prior water damage.
HVAC Systems
Heating and cooling equipment, ductwork, thermostats, and ventilation. We assess condition, age, and operation of each system.
Interior Spaces
Every room — kitchens, bathrooms, walls, ceilings, floors, windows, doors, and built-ins. We look for signs of moisture, damage, and deferred maintenance.
Types of Residential Inspections We Offer
Buyer's Home Inspection — Orange County
A full property evaluation before purchase. Walk the property with your inspector and leave with a much clearer picture of its current condition.
Pre-Listing Inspection
Identify issues before they surface in the buyer's report. Make repairs on your terms and price the home with confidence.
New Construction Inspection
New construction homes can still have deficiencies. We provide an independent evaluation of visible and accessible conditions at the time of inspection, a useful second set of eyes before you take possession.
Builder Warranty Inspection (11-Month)
Catch hidden defects before the builder warranty expires, while repairs are still the builder's responsibility.
Condo & Townhouse Inspection
Interior systems and unit-specific components plus anything worth flagging to the HOA.

Schedule Your InspectionFrequently Asked Questions
Residential Home Inspection
How long does a residential inspection take?
Typically 2–4 hours depending on size, age, and condition of the home. We don't set a timer — we finish when the inspection is done.
Should I attend the inspection?
Absolutely. Walking through findings in person is far more valuable than reading them later in a PDF. You'll leave with a clear understanding of the home.
What happens after the inspection?
You'll receive a detailed, photo-rich report through Spectora within 24 hours. We're also available to answer follow-up questions.
Do you inspect new construction homes
Yes. New homes can have framing issues, improper installations, and incomplete work that only an independent inspector will catch.
