Home Inspections in Folsom

Walker Home Pros provides home inspections with Matt Walker in Folsom, from the historic district to the newest neighborhoods. You get a careful look at the home and a clear, same-day report that helps you move forward with confidence.

Folsom homes

Folsom includes older homes near the historic downtown, established neighborhoods built over the last several decades, and a large amount of new construction south of Highway 50. Many lots sit on rolling or sloped ground, which makes drainage, grading, and retaining walls worth a close look no matter how old the home is.

What Matt pays attention to in Folsom

• Drainage on sloped lots. Matt checks how the ground and downspouts move water away from the foundation, and notes retaining walls and settlement cracks.
• New construction. Even brand-new homes can have missed details. An inspection before closing, or before your builder warranty runs out, gives you a list to bring to the builder.
• Decks and outdoor living. Decks, balconies, patio covers, and railings are checked for visible damage and safety concerns.
• Heating and cooling. Matt tests the systems and notes visible age and condition so you know what to expect.

Inspections for buyers, sellers, and homeowners

Matt inspects single-family homes, condos, townhomes, duplexes to fourplexes, ADUs, and manufactured homes. Buyers, sellers preparing to list, and homeowners planning maintenance all get the same thorough approach.

About Folsom

Folsom began as a Gold Rush mining camp called Granite City and was renamed for Joseph L. Folsom after his death in 1855. Folsom State Prison was established in 1880, and the Folsom Powerhouse, now a National Historic Landmark, sent hydroelectric power 22 miles to Sacramento. The city incorporated in 1946.

Local amenities include Folsom Lake State Recreation Area and Lake Natoma, the American River Bike Trail, the historic Sutter Street district, Folsom Powerhouse State Historic Park, Folsom Lake College, and Mercy Hospital of Folsom.
