Committed to excellence

Our firm was established to provide local buyers and sellers of real estate with a unique inspection service backed by top notch customer service.

We have developed a unique combination of “Engineering Inspired Services”, specifically designed to deliver maximum value and minimize risk for our clients. Unlike our competitors, we take pride in the extra time we spend on each inspection. More specifically, we perform extra work which gives us actual data to analyze – hence the term “engineering inspired”.

Our competitors rely solely on visual inspection such as looking for unusual cracks in stucco or drywall. We do that too but we also gather the all-important data. These expensive and time-consuming tests are not required by the home inspectors’ standards of practice. Just a few of the extras we provide at no additional charge include: a most important concrete slab floor level survey using a high precision altimeter, thermal imaging/infrared (IR) survey with latest version Flir cameras, “pole camera” aerial roof inspections on inaccessible roofs, and even a PATENTED non-destructive polybutylene pipe inspection (urgent knowledge for clients purchasing homes built between 1978 – 1995). So when you call around shopping prices, make sure you are comparing apples to apples. Our company is not content with mediocrity or being just another local inspection company. We specialize in performing the absolute highest quality inspections related to real estate sales. InterNACHI is the world’s largest home inspection association.

Providing real value

Experience has proven that purchasing one of our “Engineering Inspired” home inspections is an invaluable investment for our clients. Our El Cajon home inspections, and every home inspection we provide, empowers our client in at least one of the following ways:

The client (most commonly the buyer) will get peace of mind knowing that the property they chose was in the advertised condition.

The inspection almost always reveals undisclosed material defects. This information can assist in negotiating credit or repairs back from the seller.

Sometimes our inspection may reveal so many unexpected issues that the buyer decides to walk away, avoiding a myriad of issues and buyer's remorse.

San Diego Home Inspection is the one my clients love. Professional, thorough, respectful, and consistently dependable.
