The Assessment
What We Look For.
Every assessment covers the systems that matter most in a real estate transaction — evaluated by someone who has personally built, repaired, and inspected all of them.
Structural Integrity
Foundation, framing, load-bearing walls, and settlement — evaluated by someone who has built from the ground up.
Plumbing Systems
Supply lines, drainage, water pressure, and leak detection — assessed by a certified plumber and pipefitter.
Electrical
Panel condition, wiring age, outlets, and code compliance. Safety risks flagged before they become liability.
Irrigation & Drainage
Full landscape water system assessment — heads, valves, controllers, coverage, and site drainage slope.
Roofing & Exterior
Roofing condition, flashing, gutters, fascia, and exterior cladding including water intrusion points.
Code Compliance
We identify work that wasn't permitted, wasn't inspected, or doesn't meet current California building code.
Unpermitted Work
Additions, modifications, and repairs done without permits are a major liability for buyers — we catch them.
Soil & Grading
Drainage slope, erosion, foundation clearance, and soil movement — critical on Central Coast hillside properties.
Every assessment ends with a plain-language written report.
Priority rankings, real cost estimates, and specific recommended actions — written clearly enough that any buyer, seller, or realtor can understand and act on it immediately. No jargon. No vague warnings.
