Pre Listing Inspection / Sellers Inspection
Our pre listing home inspection for sellers is similar to a pre purchase home inspection for buyers. We go through all your systems and thoroughly document minor and major issues with your home. We point out concerns that you as a home owner may be able to repair or address yourself, and report on and discuss issues that may require a professional. Our report will be tailored with suggestions to maximize your negotiating power when selling your home.
Commercial Inspections
Our goal is to help you identify any potential problems with the structure that would affect its permitted use, or require major upgrades to meet new codes. We will look at the overall condition of the commercial property as well as the major systems (HVAC, electrical, plumbing, etc.) as well as the roof, roof decking, foundation, stairways or elevators, and parking areas. We will create a complete report that will outline structural concerns, code issues, the presence of mold, and other items important to commercial property owners.
Rental Room Inspection
We offer tenant move out inspections for property management companies overseeing rental properties. Our rental inspections focus on the interior of the rooms the tenant(s) occupied. We inspect the condition of the flooring, walls, windows/doors, electrical, safety, and other key areas to gauge the condition of the room, and identify any associated maintenance needed.
Apartment Building Inspections
Our apartment building inspections utilize our extensive experience of real estate inspections on small-to-large apartment and condo buildings. Our approach is designed to meet the specific needs of the investor. Professional specialists are welcome to join the inspection as needed. Apartment building inspections are performed efficiently, while respecting tenants. Special attention is paid to the life-cycles of major elements allowing investors to more accurately estimate operating costs and safety concerns.
Radon Monitoring
Portland Property Inspectors radon testing uses an ionization chamber detector, continuous radon monitor, over a 42 or 72 hour period, to ensure quick and accurate results. Our radon testing results are available within hours after the radon monitor's completion to ensure you'll meet your real estate contract deadlines with our home inspection.
Drone / Aerial Imaging
The use of drone technology enables our home inspectors to thoroughly image and document our roof inspections. With our drone we can access most of the hard to reach areas of the roofing, chimney, and siding/trim. If needed, this service is included in your home inspection at no additional charge.
Building Permit Report
We bring our knowledge of Portland's building codes to every inspection. We can help you identify code defects, and for an additional charge we can generate a report of the building permit history, and status of each permit, for your home.

"We are buying our third home and we had no idea that a home inspection could be so thorough and useful. The inspector spent 4.5 hours on our pre-purchase inspection and produced an amazingly complete report with recommendations, photos, and detailed analysis. He put issues into perspective so that we were not inclined to put too much weight on the inconsequential or to be too casual about the essential. Not only that, he took the time to explain the findings, the causes, and the possible outcomes of making or choosing not to make corrections. When confronting a major decision like home buying, is well worth the very reasonable fee for such valuable information. It's not often in life that we get such a thorough analysis of possible outcomes and thus feel confident that we know what we're getting into. Portland Property Inspectors provide an essential service and was far superior to the home inspections we've had in the past "

"Ryan did an amazing job inspecting our older home. He took the time to walk through some of the quirks with me and I had a much better understanding of the property after this throughout inspection. He's a great communicator and I highly recommend working with him!

"I feel very fortunate my realtor found Ryan. The whole experience was positive. I felt like Ryan was watching out for my best welfare and wanted to do what ever it took to make me happy. This gentleman is outstanding in expertise, thorough, super responsive, & an excellent communicator, which is a very rare combination. The comprehensive report[s] came quickly. He called me timely and explained his findings in detail providing me all the phone time I needed to understand. I emailed some follow-up questions I thought of afterward and he got back to me with answers almost immediately on a Saturday. Bravo!"
