About us

Home & Commercial Inspections By Nelson Engineering LLC is a home and commercial property inspection service located in the San Diego area. Tom Nelson is the founder of Nelson Engineering. I am an engineer, and I have 30 years experience as a general contractor. I have been in residential and commercial building construction, as well as environmental services. My long history of being involved in all different phases of construction for 30 years has given me extensive knowledge of construction methods used in buildings. I have been a general contractor for new construction projects, as well as many remodels. I have dealt with buildings built as early as the 1900's. Please note: We only do home and commercial building inspections. We do not perform structural engineering, or foundation repairs. We do not perform FHA mobile home foundation inspections which require a structural engineer.

Wow! So responsive and detailed! Short notice inspection on a property. I live out of state so itâ s not easy conducting business sometimes. The attention to detail and follow up is incredible. He took the time to be patient with my nearly zero knowledge on home repair to go over everything in a way I could easily make sense of. Iâ ve had other home inspectors do a quick job only to miss key problem causing headaches down the road. When you spend the amounts of money on what homes cost today, you want to have peace of mind and go in eyes wide open. Tom takes pride in his service, communicates very effectively and does amazing follow up. Highly recommend!

The project was top notch. Not only did they consistently show up on time, but they finished the project early and were willing to reschedule the final walkthrough multiple times to accommodate our schedule. Final project turned out great!

Tom and Josh were wonderful. They did a thorough job of inspecting the house and were patient in answering all of my questions. Their report was completed quickly and completely. They followed up afterwards to see if I had any other questions or concerns. I would highly recommend them.

Tom and Joshua arrived early and ready to apply their knowledge and experience to the inspection of the residential property I intended to purchase. They were thorough, precise and professional. The report was promptly delivered and was easy to understand and incredibly useful to me; to make decisions about my real-estate transaction, and being well informed about the condition of the property. I highly recommend their services. Inspections by Nelson Engineering will be my first choice the next time I am in need.
