Home Maintenance Inspection

Know the Condition of the Home You Already Own

A Home Maintenance Inspection for homeowners in Santa Rosa and Sonoma County.

Most people only get a home inspected when they buy. But roofs age, crawlspaces get wet, and small leaks become big repairs while nobody's looking. A Home Maintenance Inspection gives you the same thorough, visual inspection a buyer gets, written for you as the owner.

Good times to book one

Winter rains:

stains, musty smells, a damp crawlspace or a leak you're not sure about

Before a remodel:

know what's behind the project before you sign a contractor's bid

Ten years or more in the house:

a check-up on the roof, plumbing, electrical, HVAC and foundation

Before leasing it to tenants or handing it to family:

document its condition now

Planning to sell in a year or two:

find out what to fix on your schedule, not a buyer's

Caring for an aging parent's home:

an independent look at safety and upkeep

What's included

A full visual inspection: roof, exterior, interior, attic and crawlspace where accessible, plumbing, electrical, HVAC and the other major visible systems
A photo-rich report sorted by urgency: safety items, repairs to plan, and things to keep an eye on
A plain-English walk-through with Juan, and the report within 24 hours
Optional add-ons: Sewer Scope, Mold & Air Quality Testing, Infrared Thermography, Solar Assessment

Why an independent inspector

I don't sell repairs, remediation or solar, so I have no reason to find problems that aren't there or miss ones that are. You get straight answers and a list you can hand to any contractor you choose.

FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

It's the same thorough inspection. The report is written for an owner planning maintenance, not a buyer negotiating a sale.

I'm independent and don't take referral fees. The report gives contractors a clear scope to bid on.

Every 5 years, and sooner after a major storm, leak or flood.
