Home Inspections in Rancho Cordova

Walker Home Pros provides home inspections with Matt Walker in Rancho Cordova and nearby Sacramento County communities. From established neighborhoods to brand-new streets, you get a thorough inspection and a clear, same-day report.

Rancho Cordova homes

Rancho Cordova has two very different kinds of neighborhoods. Its older neighborhoods grew in the 1950s and 1960s alongside Mather Air Force Base and the area’s aerospace employers, and many of those homes have been remodeled more than once. Newer communities such as Anatolia and Capital Village have been built since the mid-2000s, and new construction continues in several newer planned communities.

What Matt pays attention to in Rancho Cordova

• Original systems in older homes. Matt notes the electrical panel, visible wiring, plumbing materials, and the age and condition of the heating and cooling system.
• Remodels and flips. Fresh paint and new finishes can hide older problems. Matt looks at how updates were done and notes anything that looks unfinished or improvised.
• New construction and builder warranties. An inspection before your builder warranty ends (often called an 11th-month inspection) can catch items the builder should fix while they are still covered.
• Rentals and investment properties. Matt inspects duplexes to fourplexes and notes the condition of each unit, its water heater, and its heating and cooling system.

Inspections for buyers, sellers, and homeowners

Matt inspects single-family homes, condos, townhomes, duplexes to fourplexes, ADUs, and manufactured homes. Tell Matt the property type and approximate size when you request an inspection so he can confirm the scope and price.

About Rancho Cordova

The area saw placer mining and roadside inns during the Gold Rush. Its name comes from the Cordova Vineyard and became official with a post office in 1955, as postwar subdivisions filled with workers from nearby Mather Field and the Aerojet rocket plant. Rancho Cordova incorporated as a city in 2003.

Local amenities include the American River Parkway along the city’s northern edge, Hagan Community Park, Mather Regional Park and Mather Lake in the Mather area, and Historic Mills Station.

Public schools are run by Folsom Cordova Unified School District in most of the city and Elk Grove Unified School District in southern neighborhoods, including Anatolia and Sunridge. Attendance boundaries can change, so check with the district about a specific address.
