Home re-inspections in Orange County.

We offer home re-inspections as an additional service to home inspections. Once the repairs from the original inspection have been completed and you are ready, you can request a re-inspection before closing escrow. It's an especially good idea when the problem involved the roof, plumbing, electrical system, or HVAC unit.

A thorough inspection might not have been possible if utilities such as gas and electricity were not on at the initial inspection. This can also warrant a re-inspection, to check the components that weren't powered the first time around.

You might also simply request a re-inspection to ease your worries. We'd like to believe everyone is honest during a real estate transaction, but sometimes you need to double-check the work of contractors or sellers.

An important note on repairs

Not all repairs are as straightforward as they seem. While the inspector can tell whether work has been completed, he cannot guarantee that the work was done competently. Re-inspecting repairs is very important, especially when they're hidden from sight — behind personal items or cabinets, for example. Keep copies of any repair contracts you have with your service provider; these should be used to make claims about any improper work or poor craftsmanship on their part. And we recommend that ANY repairs be performed by a licensed, insured, professional service company.
