The team behind it
Joe Romeo, who founded San Diego Home Inspection in 2005, still runs inspections himself, and works with a small core team of certified inspectors who have been with him for years. We work with agents from all real estate brokerages, and are happy to serve our clients from all service areas.
We also inspect across the rest of the county, including Encinitas, Del Mar, Solana Beach, Cardiff, Rancho Santa Fe, Bonsall, San Marcos, Vista, Fallbrook, Valley Center, Ramona, Poway, El Cajon, La Mesa, Santee, Lemon Grove, Spring Valley, Lakeside, Alpine, Jamul, Chula Vista, National City, Imperial Beach, Coronado, La Jolla and Point Loma.
All of San Diego County, city by city
One county, very different housing stock. What we look hardest at changes with the coast, the soil and the age of the build.
San Diego
The city itself. Older neighborhoods are mostly Craftsman and Spanish, the inland tracts are post-war, and on the hillside lots we spend our time on drainage and slab movement.
Oceanside
On the North County coast, salt air corrodes flashing, fasteners and condenser coils, so we spend the most time on the roof and the exterior envelope.
Escondido
Inland North County, where the housing is older and the soil is expansive. On the sloped lots, foundations, retaining walls and drainage come up again and again.
Carlsbad
Coastal North County, much of it newer master-planned construction. We still find workmanship and moisture problems behind the finishes.
