Customers say: Quality work

"Excellent Home Appraisal Experience! Review: I recently had the pleasure of working with a fantastic home appraisal service for a home in Diamond Bar, CA. From start to finish, the team was professional, thorough, and provided exceptional service. Being on another coast, choosing an Appraiser was daunting. The final appraisal report was comprehensive and well-documented, providing me with a clear understanding of my home's value. Not only did the appraisal process go smoothly, but the team also demonstrated excellent communication skills. I highly recommend this home appraisal service for anyone in need of a reliable and professional assessment of their property. Their expertise and attention to detail truly set them apart. Thank you to the entire appraisal team for their outstanding service. Kind regards, Brody D"

"This was an appraisal of a older condominium unit in a gated Southern California beach community for a trust administration. Unusual in that Penny did not have access to interior of the unit she had to appraise. She was very thorough in her research of the complex, and inspected a similar unit that was on the market, in addition to reviewing prior sales records and condition of the unit she appraised. Her comps were very good and it was clear that she'd done her due diligence to discern the appropriate sales, given the three different areas of buildout in the complex. She made a balanced and fair valuation of the property which was important for me to have as the Trustee, and reported on her considerations in good detail."

"Tyler with Secure Home Inspections was a flawless experience, he showed up on time, completed the inspection and provided a very easy to understand review of his inspection that covered everything I needed to know before purchasing the home! Saved my family and I from a big head ache in the future by uncovering a small problem that we were able to get fixed and paid for by the seller before moving in! If you are looking for a certified Home Inspector, Tyler is your guy!"

Home Inspection questions, answered by experts

A septic system inspection costs $100 to $200. Doing so can spot issues early so you can plan for necessary repairs ahead of time and save yourself the issue of a backed-up septic tank. Some septic tank repair professionals do an inspection as part of their yearly maintenance on your septic tank if you choose to pay for that service, but you should shoot to have a septic system inspection completed at least once every two to five years.

The average cost of routine home maintenance is about 1% to 4% of your home’s total value every year. Larger projects like replacing a roof or repairing a foundation may end up costing you more, but it’s a good idea to set aside money for maintenance costs every year so you can keep your home in good shape.

The standard home inspection period is typically around 10 days from when your offer is accepted, but this can range from one week to 21 days. The exact duration depends on factors like your location, the current state of the housing market, and how quickly the seller needs to close the deal. This period is the time you have to conduct a home inspection and decide whether to move forward with the purchase or back out. To confirm your specific timeline, you should check your offer agreement, as the language defining the inspection period will be included there.

While home mold tests can provide a simple identification of mold presence, they lack accuracy and reliability. These kits may detect mold spores but can't pinpoint the source or identify the type. Professional testing, combined with an inspection, is more comprehensive and leads to actionable next steps. 

Structural engineers can perform various inspections on different structures in your home. These inspections usually include a report detailing the engineer’s findings and recommendations for repairs so you can determine your next course of action for repairs, replacements, or new builds. Some of the most common structural engineering reports include:

  • Full home inspection: $350–$1,000

  • Foundation: $300–$800

  • Load-bearing walls: $300–$1,000

  • Roof: $150–$600

  • Chimney: $200–$500
