This is in a brand new custom home in El Dorado Hills. If you think you don’t need an inspection because you spend over 4 million on you home, you might want to rethink that. Always get a home inspection before you give em that final check and they disappear!!!

You’d be surprised how often we’ve been offered bribes.

We’ve turned down thousands over the years, which is why we don’t work with just any realtor. Unlike other inspection companies, we go direct to the consumer and don’t rely on realtors for future business (which is why you're reading this post!)

What does that mean? It means our reports are truthful and transparent for both buyers and sellers — not just a formality to please a realtor. We’ve worked with plenty of agents, and while some never call us back, the honest ones do because they know we deliver honest inspections. So if that sounds like something you're interested in, give us a call!

😒 The brand-new home builder might have you convinced that everything’s flawless, but you’d be surprised at what we’re finding in these new construction homes...

👷 Builders follow a few pre-approved floor plans, stamp them for city approval, and then start cranking them out. But there’s a disconnect between when these plans are approved and when the house is actually built.

😲 They can swap in different models for things like the AC, and all they get is a quick final city inspection—a quick ten-minute walkthrough to check that it matches the plans. No one else is giving it a real, third-party lookover, but if that's what you're looking for then give us a call!

😨 Everyone worries about their roof or foundation during a home inspection, but it’s the electrical stuff that often gets overlooked.

🏠 Most folks focus on the roof and foundation because that’s what they’re told to check, and honestly, plenty of inspectors miss the electrical systems too. In fact, some don’t even look at the roof.

👉 We catch issues that other inspectors don’t because we understand how every component works together. That’s why it’s essential to have a company that digs into every detail — missing something could mean safety risks and costly repairs down the line, not to mention a hit to your home’s value.

🏘️ When you’re buying or selling a home, a thorough inspection isn’t just a formality; it’s common sense.

👷‍♂️ Sellers get a solid inspection to catch any big issues upfront because, if they don’t, a buyer will come in with their own and use that report to negotiate.

😬 For buyers, skipping the inspection or going cheap can mean you’re on the hook for anything hiding under the surface. Think about it: if you find out later that the roof needs replacing or there’s hidden water damage, that’s on you. So, why not go with a third-party inspection from folks who are on your side?

This is Jay Howell. When Jay's 3rd realtor didn't feel like negotiating on his behalf as a buyer, we worked together, dropped the hammer, and took microbiology and mold samples. The home was in complete disrepair and the seller agreed to a new roof and a 30k reduction in price just before the turn of the market.

Moondog is a great guy, a family man, and a business man. I'm glad to have you as a friend, Moondog! 🇺🇸

We didn't do the general home inspection on this property, but the realtor called us because their client was concerned about a mold issue. There was definitely a grading problem at the rear elevation at this property near the area of concern. A thermal imaging camera showed signs of temperature differential, and the moisture meter confirmed that was from moisture. Air samples were taken at the exterior, area of concern, and an interior area not of concern. Normal levels of spores are 300-500 per cubic meter in a conditioned space, and the area of concern measured 30,000 spores per cubic meter! Although the finishes in this home were immaculate, the readings of spores in this home indicate there is a major water intrusion problem that will require an exploratory inspection by a licensed restoration company.

Pictured here are rafter braces that were sawsall'ed to clear the new air handler in the attic. This drastically changes the load path of the roof structure and should be further evaluated by a structural engineer.

Active roof leaks have the potential to cause major structural concerns in a home. On this inspection, our client literally had mushrooms growing in their attic from all of the moisture. Unfortunately the sheathing was so bad, that it was deteriorated to pulp in some areas. Your attic should be inspected at least every 3-5 years depending on rainfall.
