Home inspections built for island houses.

We inspect homes on every island, from Kauaʻi to Hawaiʻi Island, for buyers, sellers, and owners. Our reports are written for how Hawaiʻi homes actually age: salt air, jalousie windows, and trade-wind rain.

Home services

An inspection for every kind of home.

Every inspection comes with a photo report that sorts findings by urgency, so you know what matters before you sign.

Single-family homes

A full walk-through of the house, from roof to foundation.

  • Roof, structure, and exterior
  • Electrical, plumbing, and water heater
  • Windows, doors, and attic

Condos & townhomes

Everything inside your unit, with notes on the shared areas we can see.

  • Unit systems and finishes
  • Lanai, windows, and sliders
  • Visible moisture and leaks

Pre-listing inspections

For sellers who want to find and fix problems before a buyer’s inspector does.

  • Same scope as a buyer’s inspection
  • A repair list you can hand to a contractor

For Realtors

Fast scheduling, reports your clients can read, and a summary you can use at the negotiating table.

  • Easy booking for your clients
  • Clear, photo-rich reports

Included with every home inspection

We use the tools most inspections skip.

Thermal imaging

Infrared scans of walls, ceilings, and floors to spot hidden moisture, missing insulation, and hot electrical connections.

Moisture testing

Moisture meter readings to confirm what the camera finds around windows, showers, sinks, and roof leaks.

Drone roof imaging

Aerial photos from a drone flight over the roof, gutters, and hard-to-reach areas, especially when it isn’t safe to walk on.

In the field · Structural & mechanical evaluation

If we can access it, we inspect it.

Every inspection includes a structural and mechanical evaluation, from the foundation and utility boxes to AC coils and plumbing inside and out. We photograph what we find and make sure your home is safe for you and your family.

About us

Built on God, family & community.

Coastal Home Solutions started in 2020 with a simple idea: treat every home like it belongs to our own ʻohana. We’re locally owned, we know how island homes wear, and we take the time to explain what we find.

Our founder, Charles Burton, found his calling after years in construction, bar management, and agriculture. A husband and father of five with roots in Hawaiʻi and California, he’s inspected everything from single-family homes to luxury condos. His goal is for Coastal to be more than an inspection company: a catalyst and an example for local self-sufficiency.
