Home Inspections in Coto de Caza

The published rate card answers most properties with a starting price. It answers two kinds with a phone number: multi-family buildings, and homes over 5,000 square feet. That is not evasion. It is what an honest price for a large property looks like.

Ingraffia Home Inspections has been inspecting in Orange County since 2003. To book in Coto de Caza, call (714) 371-8422 or request an inspection.

Why size changes the answer

An inspection is priced by the time it takes, and past a certain size the time stops scaling neatly. A large house does not just have more of everything. It tends to have more systems: two or three heating and cooling units instead of one, multiple water heaters, more than one electrical panel, and roofs that meet each other in ways a smaller house never has to manage. Each of those is inspected the way it would be on its own, so the visit is longer and the report is longer, and a single number printed in advance would be wrong in one direction or the other.

Two minutes on the phone gets you a real one. Say what the property is and how it is laid out, and Mark quotes it on the property rather than on a table.

Guest houses and second structures

A second building on the same lot, a guest house, a converted garage, a pool house with plumbing and power, is an additional structure and is priced as one on the rate card. It gets inspected the same way as the main house, roof to foundation, and appears in the same report, so a buyer is not left with a thorough account of the house and a blank where the guest house should be.

Scope is agreed first

For a large property the useful conversation happens before the visit, not after. What the buildings are, what they include, whether there is a pool or spa, whether thermal imaging is wanted. All of it is settled when Mark calls to confirm, so the day itself has no surprises and neither does the invoice.

The inspection covers grounds, exterior, utilities, interior, kitchen and bathrooms. For anything over 5,000 square feet, call first; it is quicker than the form.
