Thorough Home Inspections in Palm Desert, CA – Certified Master Inspector® Ready for Your Desert Home

Serving Palm Desert and surrounding Coachella Valley areas with 30 years of hands-on experience as a licensed California General Contractor. I know exactly how these mid-century moderns, golf-course estates, and newer builds hold up under intense desert sun, wind, and expansive soils.

Palm Desert’s unique climate and soil create inspection challenges most out-of-area inspectors miss: stressed HVAC systems from constant cooling demands, roof degradation from UV exposure, stucco cracks from clay soil movement, irrigation/drainage problems leading to hidden moisture, and occasional mold in poorly ventilated attics or around evaporative coolers.

As your local Palm Desert home inspector, I bring the tools and knowledge to catch these early.

Why Palm Desert Homes Need a Savvy Local Inspector

  • Tile roofs suffer sun damage and wind lift – drone scans reveal cracked tiles or underlayment issues before leaks start.
  • Expansive clay soils cause foundation shifts – we flag cracks, uneven floors, and post-tension cable concerns in 2015+ homes.
  • Poor drainage around pools and landscaping leads to water intrusion – thermal imaging spots hidden moisture behind stucco or in slabs.
  • Older mid-mod homes may have outdated electrical or plumbing – we identify aluminum wiring risks or corroded pipes.


I conduct every inspection as if it were my own home: 400+ point check, high-res annotated photos, drone roof video, thermal imaging upon request. Reports delivered next business day.
