Question 1

What does a full home inspection cover?

Accepted Answer

A complete evaluation of the property's structure and every major system: roof, exterior, drainage and grading, foundation and framing, crawl space, electrical, plumbing, water heater, heating and cooling, and the interior including windows, doors and built-in appliances. Infrared thermal imaging is included as standard rather than charged as an add-on, and you get a detailed photo-rich report the same day.

Question 2

How long does a home inspection take?

Accepted Answer

Typically 2 to 4 hours depending on the size and age of the property. You are welcome to join for the final walkthrough so findings can be pointed out in person, and the report is delivered the same day so a short contingency window is never waiting on it.

Question 3

Do you need a license to inspect in CA?

Accepted Answer

No state license is required for home inspectors in California. However, we are fully certified through InterNACHI and CRMI, which are the industry's leading certification boards, ensuring we meet the highest national standards.

Question 4

What's in a mold inspection?

Accepted Answer

Our mold inspection includes a comprehensive visual assessment, and moisture mapping using thermal imaging and calibrated moisture meters to find the hidden moisture source feeding any growth. You get a detailed, photo-rich report the same day.

Question 5

How fast can you schedule?

Accepted Answer

We understand that real estate transactions move quickly. We offer flexible scheduling and can often accommodate same-day or next-day inspection requests. Call us to check our current availability.

Question 6

Why don't you do repairs?

Accepted Answer

We are an inspection-only company. This eliminates any conflict of interest. Our only goal is to provide you with an accurate, unbiased assessment of the property's condition, not to sell you expensive repair services.

Question 7

What areas do you serve?

Accepted Answer

San Francisco is our primary service area — every neighborhood, from the Richmond and Sunset to Noe Valley, the Mission, Pacific Heights and SOMA. We also cover Daly City, South San Francisco and 25 more cities across the Peninsula, South Bay and East Bay. See our Service Areas page for the full list.

Question 8

How much does it cost?

Accepted Answer

Question 9

Are you certified and insured?

Accepted Answer

Yes, we are InterNACHI and CRMI certified, and fully covered by both General Liability (GL) and Errors & Omissions (E&O) insurance for your complete protection.
