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.
Below is a sample report (this is an actual report from our home inspector in Portland, with the address and client information removed, cover pictures changed as well).

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.

"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!"
