View Points Inspections

View Point Inspections is a small, locally-owned business that has been serving the Santa Cruz community since its establishment in late 2003. The company was founded on the principle of paying attention to detail and pretending to be the buyer for every structure inspected. This approach has earned the company the nickname "Mr. Thorough" from satisfied clients and real estate agents alike.

As a one-man operation, View Point Inspections prides itself on maintaining high standards of quality control. The owner and inspector, a lifelong resident of Santa Cruz County, has an in-depth knowledge of local building jurisdictions, utility companies, weather patterns, schools, neighborhood history, and the reputation of contractors and tradesmen in the area. This local expertise gives the company an edge in the inspection process.

Company Philosophy

The philosophy of View Point Inspections is to provide the most thorough and detailed inspections possible. The company believes that buying a home is one of the biggest investments most people will ever make, and therefore, an over-the-top good inspection is necessary. This approach has helped the company expand every year since its inception.
