Every home has a maintenance layer — detector batteries, stiff locks, slow drains, dirty window tracks, a slipped roof tile, rust starting in the gutters. Nobody checks it until something small turns into something expensive. The Golden Home Check is a one-visit maintenance checkup by a licensed contractor (CA Lic #1137789): Inspect + Fix + Report. We run the full 40-point list, fix the small things during the same visit, and hand you a written report where every remaining finding carries its exact price to fix.
This is not a real-estate home inspection. We don't do transaction inspections for buying or selling a home, and this isn't one. This is the upkeep checkup for people who live in their home and want it looked after — the layer official inspections don't cover.
What we check — the 40-point list
Roof & Gutters

No — this is not a real-estate home inspection, and we don't do inspections for buying or selling a home. The Golden Home Check is a maintenance checkup for the home you live in: a licensed contractor checks the upkeep layer (detector batteries, lubrication, drains, tracks, tiles, gutters, fascia), fixes the small things on the spot, and prices everything else in a written report.
How much does the Golden Home Check cost?
The Golden Home Check starts at $299 for a one-time visit. The exact price for your home is confirmed before the visit starts. The visit includes 60 minutes of small-fix work plus $25 in parts, and members of the Annual Home Maintenance plan get this same check inside their plan visit.
What happens with the things you can't fix on the spot?
You get a written report of every remaining finding, each with its exact catalog price to fix — so you can decide what to do now, what to schedule, and what can wait. No obligation.
