Buying a property is one of the biggest decisions of your life.
Don’t settle for an inspector who only passed an open-book test.

Hi, I’m J. Scott Osko, licensed General Contractor and owner of J. Scott Osko Inspections.

Here’s something most people don’t know: California has no state licensing for property inspectors. That means literally anyone can call themselves an inspector. If someone wants to appear legitimate, they usually join organizations like InterNACHI or CREIA, take an open-book test, and pay a fee for a certificate.

 

At Echelon Inspections, we’re different. Everyone who works here has either been a General Contractor or has major contracting experience.

​

I’ve been contracting since 1989 and I’m a licensed California General Contractor. Because I’m a real contractor, I can actually speak to you like one. I can tell you where bearing walls are, if they can be moved, what challenges you’d face, and I can even cite code when needed.

​

With sixteen years of experience, I’ve inspected over 14,000 homes and commercial properties — including retail, Industrial, restuaraunts and multi-unit buildings. My California General Contractor license is in good standing, but was intentionally made inactive to avoid conflicts of interest. That way I stay completely unbiased.
