San Diego Home Inspector
Buying in San Diego? I provide detailed, buyer-focused home inspections that explain what’s typical for the age of the home and what may need repair, negotiation, or further evaluation.
From historic bungalows to coastal remodels and downtown condos, I inspect homes across central and coastal San Diego.
San Diego Home Inspection with Local Expertise
San Diego homes range from 1920s craftsman houses to modern infill builds and condos. I understand how age, coastal moisture, and renovations affect each system so you can move forward with realistic expectations.
Older & Historic Homes
Many homes in neighborhoods like North Park and Mission Hills still have older plumbing, wiring, and foundations. I look for evidence of updates, safety upgrades, and common age-related issues.
Coastal & View Properties
Coastal fog and salt air accelerate roof wear and metal corrosion. I pay close attention to exterior finishes, railings, decks, and windows in high-exposure areas.
Flips & Remodels
Recent remodel? I look beyond fresh finishes to evaluate installation quality, visible framing, drainage, and how well new work ties into older systems.

Inspection Process – What to Expect
1. Schedule & Confirm
You share the property details, preferred day, and access instructions. I coordinate with your agent as needed and confirm everything in writing.
2. On-Site Inspection
I walk the exterior, roof (when safely accessible), attic, interior, electrical, plumbing, heating and cooling systems, documenting what I see with photos and notes.
3. Report & Follow-Up
You receive a detailed digital report, usually the same day or by the next day. I’m happy to answer questions and walk through major findings.
San Diego Home Inspection FAQs
How long does a San Diego home inspection take?
Most single-family homes take about 2–4 hours depending on size, age, and condition. Condos and small homes can take less time; larger or older properties may take longer.
Do you inspect roofs and attics?
Yes, when safely accessible. I evaluate roof coverings, flashing, visible framing, insulation, and ventilation and report on any observed concerns.
Can I attend the inspection?
Absolutely. Many buyers find it helpful to attend all or part of the inspection so we can review major items on site.
Will you tell me whether to buy the home?
I won’t tell you to buy or walk away. My role is to give you clear, unbiased information so you, your agent, and your family can decide what’s right for you.
