Nighthawk Inspections was founded in 2013 with a straightforward belief: buyers, sellers, and homeowners deserve a clear, honest picture of the property they’re dealing with, delivered without alarm and without shortcuts.
In June 2023, Jeremy and Heather Hearn took ownership of the company, bringing a family-owned approach that’s personal, accountable, and rooted in real construction experience. Jeremy spent 25 years in the trades before becoming an inspector, which means when he explains what he’s seeing in a home, it comes from hands-on knowledge, not just a checklist.
Over the past decade, the Nighthawk team has completed thousands of inspections across Sacramento, Placer, El Dorado, Yuba, Sutter, and surrounding counties. That track record has built something that matters more than volume: trust. From first-time buyers to seasoned investors to real estate agents who refer us again and again, people come back because we show up the same way every time.

Every inspection is personal to us. As a family-owned company, we treat your home the same way we would treat our own, with care, attention, and no shortcuts.

Our certified inspectors bring years of hands-on field experience to every inspection. We know Northern California homes inside and out, and how to explain what we find in plain language anyone can act on.

Recognized by our local community as a top-rated inspection company, our reputation is built on consistent results, honesty, communication, and clients who refer us to their own friends and family (that’s the highest compliment!).

We don't hand you a report and disappear. We answer your questions before, during, and long after inspection day. This is one of the biggest decisions you'll make, and you deserve support through all of it.

Exceptional Service Every Time I’ve used Knight Hawk Inspections multiple times now, and each experience has been nothing short of outstanding. Jeremy is truly a delight to work with — professional, friendly, and incredibly knowledgeable. His background in construction gives him a depth of expertise that you simply don’t find often. He knows the ins and outs of a home at a level that brings a tremendous amount of confidence and clarity to the inspection process. His findings are always insightful, thoughtfully explained, and backed by a very thorough inspection. The level of care, detail, and customer service he provides is unmatched. I can’t recommend Knight Hawk Inspections enough for anyone who wants a trusted partner during the home-buying process. Highly recommended.Posted on Google CT TTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Got their services for our home inspection.

Very detailed and thorough leaving you a sense of confidence that you are in good hands and are looking out for your best interest! Would definitely recommend them!Posted on Google Rich DowningTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This is a company I highly recommend anyone to use and will be referring friends and family when they need their homes and businesses inspected. They are very honest, high quality, integrity, and very friendly and fun to work with. This is a great company to use.Posted on Google Steve LoveallTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We recently hired Nighthawk to perform the inspection on a home we were selling. Jeremy and Jordan spent the time to inspect the house "head to toe". The issues they found were explained in detail in the report. Once the repairs were completed, we called back for a re-inspection with Jordan. Both Jeremy and Jordan were very punctual, friendly, professional and engaging. I appreciate the fact that, even though we were the seller, Jeremy and Jordan maintained their objectivity in the report. They were a referral from our realtor, Sandra and Ray Dare, who only hire/refer people they trust. Recommend 100%.
