A home inspection is a visual examination of the accessible components of a home from the foundation to the roof. Our professional home inspection can identify non-functioning systems, damaged building components, safety issues, and items that are approaching the end of their service life. A home inspection is not a warranty, insurance program, appraisal, or municipal code compliance check, but it is a tool to assist you in understanding the condition of a home and to help reduce the risk of unanticipated expenses.

• Pre-Purchase Home Inspections: Homebuyers need a professional inspection so that they can learn the true condition of the home they are planning to purchase. Few homes are perfect and our quality home inspection can provide the valuable information necessary to make an informed purchase decision. The inspection cost is small compared to the peace of mind that can be gained by knowing the true condition of the property.

• Pre-Listing Home Inspections: Home sellers can use a home inspection to find items in need of servicing or repair before putting their home on the market. A home that is in top condition is easier to market and attracts better offers. Making repairs in advance helps reduce the stresses for everyone involved with the negotiation and closing process.

• Maintenance Inspections: If you have owned your home for several years a home inspection can provide you with valuable information about needed repairs and necessary maintenance. All homes need regular maintenance and a thorough inspection can help protect the value of one of your largest investments. If no problems are found you will have peace of mind in knowing that you are keeping up with the maintenance needs of your home.

Our typical home inspection takes about 3 to 4 hours to complete. We encourage all clients to attend the inspection so you can see the inspection process, learn about the home, and ask any questions you may have. After the inspection we take the information we have collected and write a comprehensive mixed report (mixing checklists with narrative) on the condition of the home.  Call, email, or schedule online today and we will be happy to set an appointment for your inspection. 

We service all of  Washington, Multnomah and Clackamas counties and most of Yamhill, Polk and Marion counties.  We are available seven days a week to provide our clients with a quality home inspection.
