Understand your home with guidance from someone with decades of residential construction experience — before you sign a contract worth millions.
Serving Burlingame, San Mateo, Hillsborough, Palo Alto, Menlo Park, and nearby Peninsula cities.
Most inspection reports are long, boilerplate, and hard to act on. A builder who has actually put up walls, poured foundations, and run structural steel looks at a house differently than a generalist working from a checklist.
"This matters."
Findings that could affect safety, structure, or real money get flagged clearly — and explained in plain terms.
"This probably doesn't."
Cosmetic issues that look scary but aren't get named as such, so you don't waste negotiation leverage on the wrong things.
"I'd look into this further."
Anything outside the scope of a walkthrough — or that needs a specialist's tools — gets an honest referral, not a guess.
$299 / approx. 90 minutes
Walk the property together before you remove contingencies. Get a builder's read on what matters, what's cosmetic, and what deserves a closer look.
[SERVICE_PRICE]
Something's wrong with your house and you don't know who to call. Get an independent read on the problem before you call five contractors.
[SERVICE_PRICE]
A full pre-purchase inspection with a standardized scope and written report — in development as we finalize licensing, insurance, and agreements.
[SERVICE_PRICE]
Understand a property's condition before it hits the market, so there are fewer surprises during escrow.
Call, text, or send the property address and your timeline — ideally before your inspection contingency deadline.
Meet on-site for about 90 minutes. Ask questions in real time as observations come up.
Receive a concise, plain-language summary with photos shortly after the visit.
Use the summary to guide your offer, your negotiation, or your next call to a specialist.
Every finding gets a photo, a plain-language explanation of why it matters, a severity rating, and a next step — not a wall of boilerplate.
Observation and reasoning example — replace with a real finding from your first sample walkthrough, drawing on how the foundation was actually built rather than a generic checklist description.
Recommended next step: [example — specialist referral, monitor, or no action]
Placeholder finding. Swap in a real observation once a genuine walkthrough/report exists — do not publish invented findings.

These two entries are structural placeholders showing the report format — replace with real findings and photos from an actual Builder Walkthrough (with customer permission) as soon as one exists.

That background is the difference between reading a checklist and understanding how a house was actually put together: what a builder would worry about, what's simply cosmetic, and what's worth a second opinion before you commit.

No. A Builder Walkthrough is a builder's-perspective walk-through of the property and is not a substitute for a licensed home inspection, pest inspection, or any legally required disclosure review. It's designed to complement your due diligence, not replace it.
