What the inspection includes
You get a full general home inspection, with the health-and-safety items buyers most often ask about documented clearly: roof condition, peeling paint on older homes, missing handrails, GFCI protection, water heater strapping and relief valves, working heat, and visible moisture. These are observations of visible conditions, not underwriting decisions, and they are grouped so you and your agent can find them quickly.
Inspection and appraisal are different things
An appraisal is ordered by the lender to confirm value and minimum loan standards. A home inspection is ordered by you to document visible condition at the time of inspection. We do not perform appraisals, and we do not determine loan approval, property eligibility, or lender compliance.
Timing that fits your contract
Reports are typically delivered the same day and generally within 24 hours, depending on inspection conditions and complexity. Your agent can pull items straight into a repair request in minutes.
Pricing
FHA and VA buyers pay standard inspection pricing — most Bakersfield single-family homes start in the mid $300s. Call for a quote on your property.
