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 J. Scott Osko 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 multi-unit buildings.

​

Note: General Contractor license is in good standing but is intentionally kept inactive to avoid conflicts of interest.
