Are you looking for or do you already own a home or other property in Northern California? Are you concerned about…

  • the condition of your current home?
  • the liability and condition of rental property?
  • the condition of property that you’re considering purchasing?

We’re here to help! We perform quality property inspections from Garberville to the Oregon border, from the coast to two hours inland.

What We Offer
SRI offers two types of inspections of property, depending on your individual needs--
Drive By Inspection, including photographs, and/or Complete Home Inspection.

For homeowners wanting to save money on their energy bills, another service we offer is Heater Duct Testing.

Complete Home Inspection
Unlike cars, homes are not consistently made with quality control. Through the years there have been hundreds of builders in our area who have employed thousands of people in building construction. Mix in the weather, age and location of the home and quality of maintenance, and you end up with a home that is at an unknown condition. We do not do a quick glance at the home. Instead, we spend 2.5 hours and up, even on smaller homes, in order to be certain that the inspection is thorough.

Be a more informed buyer, owner, landlord, or financer.
Just as when buying a vehicle it is advantageous to have an unbiased person familiar with body work and mechanics look your vehicle over, it is of great advantage to have someone certified in home inspections let you know the condition of any house you are considering buying.

Rest easy
You can have confidence that our I.T.A. professionally trained and CREIA certified inspectors are here to assist you and let you know much more about the residence you are considering purchasing. You are invited to join the inspector through the entire inspection process. If you are not able to be at the property when inspected please call for a follow up with any questions you may have. We are working for you.

We will email, fax, mail, or sometimes even hand deliver a detailed report with photos, usually within 24 hours of the inspection.
