About Eagle One Home Inspections

Protecting Central Valley Homes Since 2004

For over 20 years, Eagle One Home Inspections has been helping homebuyers, sellers, and investors make confident real estate decisions throughout Stanislaus & Merced Counties and the surrounding Central Valley. Founded by certified inspector Rich, Eagle One has built its reputation one inspection at a time — through honest evaluations, meticulous attention to detail, and a commitment to helping clients feel informed and secure before they close a deal.


Eagle One isn’t a franchise or a rotating team of contractors. It’s a one-man operation led by someone who values integrity above all. When you call Eagle One, you speak directly with the person who will inspect your property. There’s no hand-off, no confusion, and no upsell — just reliable, straightforward service backed by years of experience.

Meet Rich — Owner and Inspector

Rich has been in the home inspection industry since 2004, and his name is known across the Central Valley for thoroughness and professionalism. With decades of hands-on inspection experience, Rich brings a sharp eye and methodical approach to every job — whether inspecting a first-time home purchase, a rental property, or a newly built residence.


His focus isn’t just on checking boxes; it’s on uncovering the small issues that could become major expenses or safety concerns. That attention to detail is what keeps clients coming back — and referring their family, friends, and colleagues to Eagle One.

Rich is certified, insured, and trained to meet the highest industry standards. His mission has always been clear: to protect the people and families behind every home.

What We Stand For

At Eagle One, our core values shape everything we do — from the way we inspect homes to how we treat our clients.


  • Experience That Matters - With two decades of inspections behind us, we understand how homes are built, where common problems hide, and what local construction trends to watch for.
  • Unbiased Reporting - We work only for you. We don’t offer repairs or take kickbacks. Our job is to evaluate the home honestly and deliver clear, objective information — nothing more, nothing less.
  • Clarity and Communication - Our reports are easy to understand and include photos, notes, and a summary of key findings. We also walk you through everything and answer your questions in plain language.
  • Respect for Your Time and Property - We show up on time, treat your property with care, and deliver your report when promised — typically within 24 hours of inspection.

Our Inspection Process

Eagle One takes a methodical and proven approach to every inspection:

  1. Pre-Inspection Call – We confirm the property details and any special concerns you may have.
  2. On-Site Inspection – We thoroughly inspect the home’s systems, structure, and features, following CREIA standards and state guidelines
  3. Photo Documentation – We document findings with clear photographs, especially when repairs or safety hazards are noted.
  4. Follow-Up Support – Have questions? We’re happy to go over the report with you to ensure you understand what’s inside.

We also work with a network of trusted third-party specialists for termite, roof, chimney, HVAC, septic, pool, and well inspections when requested — giving you a complete and accurate assessment of the property before you finalize your purchase or sale.
