Home Inspections
Knowledgeable Home Inspector Experts
A certified home inspection will take 2-4 hours to conduct, depending on the size and condition of the home, and how many questions our clients have (we love questions). For first time home buyers, our home inspections provide an excellent education on home ownership and home maintenance. For the more experienced buyer, we’ll focus more on major issues and general building science. We take digital photos throughout the inspection and include them in our home inspection report, along with several helpful diagrams and illustrations. All of our home inspections include a pest and dry rot analysis. We also offer radon testing in Portland and surrounding areas. Following the inspection, our reports are posted online and available for download in Adobe Acrobat format.

Nishitha, Beaverton OR
"When I wanted to sign up for an inspection for first time I contacted Ryan as my representative. He showed up on time and walked me through all the terms and all the discounts I could get. He seemed very knowledgeable and was a huge help. It was a purchase inspection. I would definitely recommend this company to anyone in need of a home inspection. I just wanted to say Thank You Ryan for being a very professional inspector. I highly recommend you and your company to anyone that needs an inspection on their home. You and your company are quick to respond and you put your customers first. Job well done!!!"
Devon, Portland OR
"Ryan performed our house inspection. He was very thorough. He took the time to explain what he saw to me so I would better understand what I found in his report. Ryan was also very professional and treated me with respect, he answered all my questions (even the ones I felt were silly)."
Bennet, Lake Oswego OR
"Ryan is extremely thorough on his inspections. He arrived early, was fully prepared and ready to go. Ryan was very helpful giving "suggested" recommendations to further improve the home, such as the replacement of door screws for added security, and clear sealing tub and tile for long lasting looks. Ryan took great care to keep the new home clean, booties, towels, etc. I have had other inspections, but this was by far the best! My highest recommendation!"
