Thorough, Judgment-Free Home Inspections

California does not require home inspectors to hold a state license, so we recommend choosing an inspector with a recognized professional certification. We are certified through the American Society of Home Inspectors (ASHI) and carry both Errors & Omissions (E&O) and General Liability (GL) insurance for home inspections.

Bluebird Termite is licensed through the California Structural Pest Control Board and carries General Liability insurance for termite inspections.

Home inspections generally take up to two hours, depending on the property’s size and condition. Larger homes or properties with more issues may take longer. Condo and townhome inspections typically take less time, as do termite inspections.

You’re welcome to attend. Being there gives you an opportunity to ask questions and better understand the findings. Contact our office to coordinate the best time to meet with your inspector.

Yes. Each inspection has its own report so you can clearly identify findings and recommendations for each service. Our termite reports also include repair costs for Section I items.

Our home inspection evaluates the visible and accessible portions of the home’s major systems and components, including the roof, foundation, structure, electrical, plumbing, heating, and cooling. Your report identifies concerns and recommends repairs or further evaluation where appropriate.

Yes! Bluebird offers combination inspections so you can coordinate your home, termite, and roof inspections through one office. This simplifies scheduling and helps you get a more complete picture of the property’s condition.

Absolutely. We’re happy to share sample reports so you can see what we inspect, how we explain our findings, and the level of detail you can expect.

We provide repair costs for Section I items identified in our termite reports. We do not typically include repair estimates in our home or roof inspection reports, as costs can vary depending on the scope of work, materials, and contractor. For these findings, we recommend obtaining quotes from qualified, licensed contractors before the close of your inspection contingency period.

A home inspection helps you make an informed decision by explaining the property’s condition and identifying concerns. Homes do not receive a pass or fail grade. You can review the findings with your real estate agent and obtain contractor estimates to help decide how to proceed.
