A standard deliverable with every inspection

The Repair Planner

A report tells you what is wrong. The Repair Planner tells you what it costs to make right. Every priced finding from your inspection, grouped by the licensed trade that repairs it, with a defined scope and an honest Santa Barbara cost range. Generated by our platform the same evening as your report. No uploads to a third party, no waiting days for national averages.

Repair Planner cover with total Santa Barbara repair range Summary by trade with low and high totals per licensed trade Priced findings with photos, severity tiers, scope lines and cost ranges
📍 Local numbersRanges calibrated from 1,400+ findings we have documented in Santa Barbara County homes, not a national database.
👷 Named tradesPlumber, electrician, HVAC, roofer. Each item routed to the licensed trade that actually performs the work, with subtotals per trade.
📝 Defined scopeEvery line states the recommended repair the range covers, so contractors bid the same work you budgeted.
⚖️ Honest rangesReal repair costs vary with what the wall hides. We publish a low and a high instead of a single number pretending to be a fact.

Why not just use a national AI estimate?

National tools ask you to upload your inspection report to a third party, price it from national averages, disclaim every line, and reply in one to three business days. On real Santa Barbara findings we have compared, their totals ran at roughly half of what licensed local trades actually charge, which sets buyers up for expensive surprises after closing.

The Repair Planner is produced by the same platform that produces the report itself, the evening of the inspection, priced for this county. It also stays in your Digital Property Record for as long as you own the home.

The Repair Planner is an informational budgeting guide. It is not a quote, a bid, an estimate for work, or an offer to perform repairs. Coastal Shield performs inspections only and does not repair homes it inspects. Ranges reflect typical licensed trade pricing observed in Santa Barbara County; actual costs vary, and written bids from licensed contractors should guide financial decisions.

The Repair Planner is included with every Coastal Shield home inspection at no extra charge. It pairs with the repair request builder in your portal, so your agent can turn priced findings into a clean negotiation document in minutes. Questions? Call or text (805) 222-6164.
