My commitment is to inspect your home in the most professional,
detailed inspection method available--according to the California Real Estate
Inspection Association Standards of Practice and Code of Ethics.
Do not be fooled into thinking that all inspections are conducted the same. As a member of the California Real
Estate Inspection Association (CREIA), I inspect homes according to the highest standard in the inspection
business. Please review our web page using the link on The Company page. Take time to understand our
Standards of Practice and Code of Ethics. It's important, because the purchase of a home is often the most
important investment of a your money, time and emotion.

Good inspectors investigate the entire attic area. It can be
extremely hot, but this part of the inspection is critical. You see,
sometimes this is where contractors cut corners. While up there,
we look for evidence of leaks, structural damage, improper wiring,
furnace operation, insulation, ventilation,and many other systems
that when correctly installed, make for a safe and sound home.

You bet! I must climb on roofs (if possible) to determine the
condition of the roofing system. I also inspect the entire
exterior of your home including; grading, siding, roof gutters
and down spouts, foundations, chimneys, trim, rafters, soffits,
drainage systems, windows, doors, landscaping, walkways
and patios.

Air conditioning systems are important because many of us
live in a hot climate. Our inspection of the A/C system
involves electrical connections, compressor function,
insulation and most important, how well the house cools.
Inside, I look for proper condensate drain lines and clean air
filters. Safe electric and gas connections are important. The
furnace and water heaters require special attention as they
usually operate on natural gas.

This electrical sub panel looks good. My electrical inspection
helps homeowners avoid uncommon electrical problems
which may lead to fires or electrical shock. Every report
identifies critical placement of Ground Fault Circuit
Interrupters (GFCI's) and smoke detectors where required by
today's building standards. In older homes, these safety
devices did not exist. At ten dollars per unit for most of these
(which are available at the Big Orange and Blue Box stores),
it just makes sense to have them installed.

What else do I inspect? Kitchen appliances (remaining with the home after escrow closes), walls, ceilings,
floors, doors, windows, fans, cabinets, drawers and sinks. Naturally all visible plumbing, electrical outlets, and
fixtures are scrutinized. Laundry rooms are reviewed for proper electrical, plumbing and gas connections.
Bathrooms receive scrutiny as do bedrooms, living rooms, family rooms, dining rooms and libraries.
