Home inspections in Napa
From Old Town Victorians to valley ranch homes, Napa houses get a careful look, with attention to the items the 2014 South Napa earthquake brought into focus.
Napa houses
Napa's older neighborhoods, around downtown and Fuller Park, have Victorian and craftsman homes, many over crawlspaces. Further out there are mid-century and newer subdivisions and rural properties on the valley floor and in the hills.
The magnitude 6.0 South Napa earthquake on August 24, 2014 damaged many older buildings, and brick chimneys in particular. It's a good reason to look closely at the parts of a house that hold it together in a quake.
