Home inspections in San Francisco, California
Certified, independent inspections across San Francisco County. Photo-documented report within 24 hours, findings ranked by what actually matters, and we never sell you the repairs.
What we look for in San Francisco
San Francisco's Victorians, Edwardians and Marina-style flats sit shoulder to shoulder on narrow lots, often over garages cut in later. Access is tight and the structural history is usually layered.
Every inspection covers the same systems to the same standard. What changes locally is where experience tells us to look hardest — and in San Francisco, that means:
- Soft-story garage openings and seismic retrofit status under the city's mandatory program
- Dry rot at exterior trim, bay windows and light wells from persistent fog moisture
- Undocumented in-law units and non-conforming ceiling heights below the main floor
- Original galvanized supply piping and clay sewer laterals
None of this replaces inspecting the specific property in front of us. Local patterns tell us where to concentrate; they never substitute for what we actually find on the day.

Our San Francisco inspections start at $375 for properties up to 1,500 square feet and $450 for a typical 1,500–2,500 square foot home. The fee is flat, quoted from the address before you book, and doesn't change on the day. Add-ons such as sewer scope or a termite and WDO inspection are priced separately and listed on our pricing page.

Usually within the same week, and frequently within 48 hours. Tell us your contingency deadline when you call and we'll schedule backwards from it. The report follows within 24 hours of the walkthrough.
Do you inspect condos and townhomes in San Francisco?
Yes. We inspect everything inside the unit boundary plus the accessible systems serving it, and the report is explicit about where owner responsibility ends and the association's begins — the single most common source of confusion in San Francisco County condo purchases.
