San Diego County Inspection Service Areas
The Real Estate Inspection Company inspects homes and commercial property across San Diego County, from the salt-air bluffs of the coast to the older, hillier housing stock inland. Owner and lead inspector Joseph Romeo is an InterNACHI Certified Professional Inspector (CPI) and holds CSLB General Contractor License #1113143, so every report is grounded in how local homes are actually built and how this region's climate, soils, and construction eras affect them. Based in San Marcos, we travel countywide. Below are the cities we serve most, each with its own page covering the housing and conditions specific to that area. Browse our full list of services or jump straight to scheduling.
Carlsbad
From coastal village bungalows to newer master-planned communities like Bressi Ranch and La Costa, Carlsbad homes face ocean-air corrosion and a wide spread of build eras. We tailor each inspection accordingly.
Chula Vista
Chula Vista pairs aging western neighborhoods with sprawling eastern developments like Otay Ranch. We watch for the slab, drainage, and clay-soil issues common across both.
Oceanside
Beach cottages, mid-century tracts, and military-adjacent rentals define Oceanside. Salt exposure and deferred maintenance on roofs and decks are recurring themes here.
Escondido
Inland Escondido brings older homes, hillside lots, and expansive soils. We focus on foundations, retaining walls, and the heat stress that summers put on roofing and HVAC.
Encinitas
From Leucadia beach craftsman homes to newer Olivenhain builds, Encinitas spans coastal moisture and bluff-edge concerns. Hidden water intrusion is a priority on every inspection.
La Jolla
La Jolla's high-value coastal homes, custom architecture, and steep lots demand careful attention to drainage, retaining structures, and corrosion from constant marine air.
El Cajon
El Cajon's valley heat, older mid-century housing, and additions of varying quality make thorough electrical, roof, and permit-history review especially important here.
San Marcos
Our home base. San Marcos blends established neighborhoods with rapid new development around the hills and university area, so we inspect everything from dated systems to brand-new construction.
And the Rest of San Diego County
We also routinely inspect in the city of San Diego, Vista, Poway, Del Mar, and the surrounding communities, including San Diego's coastal, inland, and South Bay neighborhoods. Whether you need a buyer's inspection before closing, a pre-listing inspection, a commercial building inspection, or a California balcony inspection under SB-721 or SB-326, we cover the property no matter where in the county it sits. Not sure if we reach your area? Just ask.
