I’ve been a long term customer of Housemaster for years. I like that they are very consistent and professional. If I order an inspection in Oakland, I can guess who the inspector will be. I don’t have to wonder about objectivity or bias. I have never had a bad experience. Highly recommended.

Our Inspector Matt Guerra from HouseMaster was amazing! He was very professional and patient. HE explained everything and was patient with all our questions and didn't rush us through this process. I would highly recommend Matt and HouseMaster!

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you have more questions about local home inspections in San Jose, Silicon Valley and the larger Bay Area? Our local team is just a call away, and we are ready to assist you! For quick answers, check out our frequently asked questions section below. We're here to help and ensure you have all the information you need.

For roof inspections in San Jose, we inspect visible roof covering materials (shingles), flashings at roof penetrations and valleys, skylights, chimneys, gutters, and downspouts. We assess the condition of these elements for proper function, looking for evidence of leakage or worn, damaged, or missing components.
When HouseMaster Serving Northern California inspects exterior elements, we check the visible siding and trim, windows, doors, garages, porches, decks, stairs, and railings. We also assess proper construction and function, looking for damage, missing components, or other conditions that might lead to infiltration or functional concerns.

The interior home inspection in San Jose and surrounding areas is a bit different. We inspect visible areas of all walls, ceilings, stairways, representative windows and doors, and attic areas. We look for signs of leakage, damage, sagging, or other structural concerns. Windows will be operated to determine function. In accessible attics, besides assessing structural components, we note insulation and ventilation conditions.
Along with inspecting visible load-bearing framing components, foundation walls, slabs, piers and columns, and major structural components, we assess visible, accessible structural components for function and the presence of damage, decay, or defects. To complete the foundation inspection in San Jose, Silicon Valley and the Bay Area, we also look for water penetration in below-grade areas.
Kitchen inspections in the Northern California area include inspecting plumbing fixtures and built-in appliances. We check for water pressure or drainage issues and visible signs of leaks, as well as the basic operational modes of the appliances and ventilators. We also look at cabinets and countertops for significant deficiencies.
Absolutely! During our thorough property inspection in San Jose and surrounding areas, we inspect the visible components of the central AC or heat pump system, including condensers, air handlers, and the distribution ductwork. We then operate the system to assess the function and condition of the accessible indoor/outdoor components. The distribution system is also assessed.
We inspect visible service panel components and household wiring and devices. In addition to the thorough home inspection in San Jose and surrounding Bay Area communities, we assess the condition of readily accessible panel components, note the presence of GFCIs, AFCIs, and smoke alarms, and check the operation of representative outlets, switches, fixtures, and other devices.
Plumbing components are included as part of your home inspection in San Jose. We inspect visible water supply piping, distribution piping, waste system piping, water heaters, and plumbing fixtures. We also assess heating components and inspect the physical condition of piping, kitchen, and bathroom fixtures (tubs, showers, toilets) and operate to assess flow, drainage, and leakage.
