Home inspections in San Jose, California
Certified, independent inspections across Santa Clara 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 Jose
The South Bay's stock is dominated by 1950s–70s Eichler-era and tract ranch homes, now heavily remodeled. Renovation quality varies enormously, and a lot of the work we look at was done without permits.
Every inspection covers the same systems to the same standard. What changes locally is where experience tells us to look hardest — and in San Jose, that means:
- Radiant slab heating systems that leak or have been abandoned in place
- Flat and low-slope roofs typical of Eichler and mid-century designs
- Remodel work completed without permits or final sign-off
- Aluminum branch wiring in homes built roughly 1965–1973
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 Jose 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.
