Buying a home in the High Desert requires an inspector who understands the local climate. From the newer developments near Rancho Vista to the established homes in Anaverde, Palmdale properties face environmental stressors that coastal homes don't.
At YG Inspections, we specialize in identifying the specific issues caused by the Antelope Valley’s extreme heat and high-wind conditions. We give you the facts you need to negotiate with confidence.
High desert homes have a specific "wear and tear" profile. Our inspections focus on:
In Palmdale, a working AC isn't a luxury—it's a necessity. We perform a heavy-duty stress test on the cooling system to ensure it can handle 100°F+ days without failing, checking both the condenser units and the ductwork integrity.
The Antelope Valley is famous for its wind. We inspect roofs specifically for wind-lift damage, missing shingles, and proper flashing. We also check fences and patio covers for structural stability against desert gusts.
The desert soil can shift significantly between dry and wet seasons. We look for "tell-tale" signs of foundation movement, such as interior drywall cracking or sticking doors, which are common in the 93550 and 93551 zip codes.
Energy bills in the desert can be massive. We use Infrared Thermal Imaging to find "hot spots" where insulation may be missing or where heat is leaking into the home, helping you save money on future utilities. (upon request).

"We were buying a house in Rancho Vista and YG Inspections was amazing. They found a major issue with the AC ducting that the seller had to fix. Highly recommend for anyone in the AV!" – Miguel R., Palmdale
