Estate Management · Property Inspections
Inheriting a Legacy Property? Start with Ground Truth.
South Bay homes built in the 1950s through 1980s are sitting on deferred maintenance that the previous owners never disclosed and the listing agent never mentioned. Before you plan a single renovation, you need an honest accounting of what you actually own.
Schedule an InspectionThe System
Room-by-room. Crawlspace to roof.
Our inspection is not a general contractor walking through with a clipboard. We deploy trade-specific eyes on every major system: a licensed plumber checks your supply lines, drains, and water heater; a licensed electrician evaluates your panel, grounding, and any visible wiring issues; our structural team assesses foundation, framing, and moisture intrusion points.
Every inspection covers the following zones without exception:
- —Foundation & Crawlspace
- —Roof & Gutters
- —Electrical Panel & Wiring
- —Plumbing Supply & Drain Lines
- —Water Heater & HVAC
- —All Interior Rooms
- —Kitchen Systems
- —Bathrooms (all)
- —Garage & Exterior
- —Drainage & Grading
- —Windows & Doors
- —Attic & Insulation
The Grading Matrix
Every system gets a grade. No ambiguity.
Critical Failure
Immediate mitigation required.
The system is actively failing, a safety hazard, or will cause material damage within a short timeframe. These items are non-negotiable — they must be addressed before any discretionary renovation work begins. We provide a remediation timeline and firm quote at the time of inspection.
Examples
- ▸Active water intrusion
- ▸Knob-and-tube wiring live
- ▸Failing main sewer line
- ▸Foundation crack with active movement
Aging Infrastructure
Monitor. Budget for future capital expenditure.
The system is functional but operating near the end of its useful service life. Failure is not imminent, but these items belong in your 3–5 year capital plan. We provide a realistic replacement timeline and budget estimate so you are never surprised.
Examples
- ▸Water heater 12+ years old
- ▸Galvanized supply lines
- ▸Original single-pane windows
- ▸Roof with 3–5 years of life remaining
Verified & Secure
Confirmed operational. No action required.
The system is in good working order with meaningful service life remaining. These items are documented so you have a full baseline record of your property at the time of inspection — useful for insurance, future sale, and planning.
Examples
- ▸Copper supply lines
- ▸Updated electrical panel
- ▸Recently replaced roof
- ▸Modern HVAC system
