On the Mendocino headlands, fog, salt air and wind work on a house every day. Inspections here pay close attention to wood, paint, flashing and anything metal outside.
Mendocino houses
The village of Mendocino is known for its 19th-century wood-frame houses and historic water towers, and the surrounding coast has cottages, ranch homes and newer houses set among the trees and on the bluffs.
Many coastal properties rely on private wells and septic systems. Those need specialist inspections of their own, and the report will say where visible components deserve one.
