What inspecting in Fullerton actually looks like
Fullerton's historic core, centered on Harbor Boulevard and Wilshire Avenue, contains craftsman, Spanish Colonial, and Tudor homes from the 1900s through the 1930s. These are characterful homes with the full range of pre-war considerations — knob-and-tube wiring, post-and-pier foundations, original supply piping.
Most of central and west Fullerton was built between 1950 and 1975 in mid-century tract waves — typical California ranch homes with the typical aged-system findings (panels, sewer, drains, roofs). Pockets of newer infill exist throughout.
Sunny Hills and Raymond Hills, in the eastern part of the city, are predominantly 1980s and later hillside construction. Some hillside parcels are in Cal Fire Wildfire Hazard Severity Zones, particularly closer to Brea and the Coyote Hills.

Sean and Zach from Trident were such a pleasure to work with! As a first time homebuyer, we were very nervous about what may have been found in our inspection.
