III.PROCESS

Our Home Inspection Process

1. 1

   Scheduling — we book around your escrow timeline (priority for active contingencies) or your maintenance calendar, and confirm access with the listing agent or tenant.

2. 2

   On-site inspection — a crawlspace-to-roof walkthrough of structure, roof and exterior, foundation, plumbing, electrical panel and wiring, HVAC, attic and insulation, windows and doors, and visible moisture or drainage issues.

3. 3

   Photo documentation — every finding is photographed and located so the report is unambiguous and defensible in a negotiation.

4. 4

   RED/YELLOW/GREEN grading — each system is triaged and, where useful, given rough repair-cost context so you can prioritize.

5. 5

   Written report within 24 hours — a clear, photo-documented report delivered fast enough to fit your purchase contingency.

6. 6

   Walkthrough call — we walk you through the findings and answer questions, so you know what matters before you sign or plan repairs.

VI.FAQ

Home Inspection — Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a home inspection cost in the South Bay?

Most single-family home inspections run $375–$650 depending on square footage, age, and add-ons; larger estate properties on the Palos Verdes Peninsula run higher. Recurring maintenance inspections are quoted at a reduced rate. We give you a firm price before we schedule — never a surprise at the door.

What's the difference between a pre-purchase and a recurring inspection?

A pre-purchase (buyer's) inspection is a one-time report during escrow, written to fit your contingency and give you negotiating leverage before closing. A recurring maintenance inspection is a scheduled annual or semi-annual check for owners and landlords who want to catch problems early. Many clients do a buyer's inspection first, then switch to a maintenance schedule.

How fast do I get the report?

We deliver the written, photo-documented report within 24 hours of the visit, and we prioritize active escrows so it lands inside your contingency window. We can typically schedule within a few business days.

Can you camera-scope the sewer lateral during the inspection?

Yes — it's a common add-on and we recommend it on older South Bay homes and Peninsula properties. Aged sewer laterals are a frequent and expensive post-purchase surprise; a camera scope during the inspection can save you a five-figure repair.

Do you inspect condos and multi-unit / rental properties?

Yes. We inspect condos and townhomes (interior systems and the unit envelope) and handle multi-unit and rental inspections for landlords and property managers, including documented condition checks between tenants.

Are you licensed and insured?

Yes — Paragon is fully licensed, bonded, and insured, with 18+ years of hands-on South Bay construction experience. Because we also do the repairs, our findings come with realistic, repair-grounded cost context.
