Residential Home Inspections

I inspect homes as if I am moving my family into them. As a independent sole-proprietor licensed and insured home inspector, I provide my clients with unbiased, accurate, and affordable inspections that enables you to confidently decide on the biggest financial decision you will ever make.


I inspect homes throughout the SW area of Washington State. I only schedule one inspection per day so I can focus on your house, unlike other inspectors who conduct 2-3 inspections per day in less than 2 hours each. I usually take anywhere between 3-4 hours to complete an inspection and have the digital report with pictures to you within 24 hours.

Types of Inspections

I conduct the following types of inspections:


  • Residential Homes
  • 11th month/Builder's Warranty
  • Pre-Listing/Seller's
  • IR Thermal Scan
  • Home Maintenance
  • New Construction
  • Townhouses
  • Condominiums
  • Manufactured Homes

Inspection Reports

After the inspection is completed, a comprehensive narrative digital report with pictures will be given to you within 24 hours by your home inspector with recommendations to resolve the issues. 


Your report will cover the following areas:

Grounds

Exterior

Foundation

Kitchen

Interior, Doors and Windows

Fireplaces, Stoves, Chimneys and Flues

Bathrooms, Laundry and Sinks

Basement

Attic and Roof Structure

Garage or Carport

Water Heater

Heating, Ventilation and Cooling

Roof

Crawl Space

Electric System

Plumbing System

Infrared Thermography inspections

I conduct a complete Infrared (IR) thermography inspection of your home. 

Unlike most inspectors who just spot check areas. 


A picture says a thousand words! Infrared thermography is the only diagnostic technology that lets you instantly visualize anomalies, such as detecting energy waste, moisture, and electrical issues, that are hidden behind walls, ceilings, and floors.

Manufactured Home Foundation Inspections

 If you are selling or buying a manufactured home, then most likely a foundation certification will be required. For all FHA and VA loans, an engineer's foundation certification is required that states that the home is placed on a permanent foundation that complies with the "HUD Permanent Foundation Guide for Manufactured Homes", dated 1996 by the US Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD).

We have partnered with the engineers at Foundation Certifications to provide a turn-key foundation certification service to you. You may place your order online by going to http://www.FoundationCerts.com/order.
