Inspection Services
Home Inspections
Our home inspections cover the major systems and components of single family and multifamily properties, including the roof, structure, exterior, electrical, plumbing, heating and cooling systems, insulation, ventilation, interior finishes, installed appliances, visible moisture concerns, general safety conditions, drainage, and other accessible areas that may affect the property’s condition, function, maintenance needs, or long term performance.
Pre Listing Inspection / Sellers Inspection
Our pre listing inspections help sellers understand the condition of their home before it goes on the market. We inspect the major systems and components, document both minor and significant concerns, and explain which items may be simple maintenance or homeowner repairs and which may require a qualified professional. The report can help you plan repairs, reduce surprises, and enter negotiations with a clearer understanding of the property.
Commercial Inspections
Our commercial property inspections evaluate the building’s condition and major systems, including accessible roofing, structure, interior finishes, electrical, plumbing, HVAC, safety, and parking area. We document significant concerns, deferred maintenance, moisture issues, and items that may require further evaluation. The report helps buyers and property owners understand the building, anticipate repairs, and identify conditions affecting its intended use.
Multifamily Building Inspections
Our multifamily inspections draw on extensive experience with small to large apartment and condo buildings. The inspection meets investor needs, and professional specialists are welcome to attend as needed. Inspections are performed efficiently and with respect for tenants. Special attention is given to the condition and service life of major systems and components, helping investors better estimate operating costs, plan repairs, and identify safety concerns.
Radon Monitoring
Portland Property Inspectors uses RadonEye Pro continuous radon monitoring equipment with an ionization chamber detector to collect readings over a 48 hour testing period. Results are typically available within hours after testing is complete, helping buyers meet real estate contract deadlines, better understand the home’s radon levels, and make informed decisions without unnecessary delays.
Drone / Aerial Imaging
Drone technology allows our home inspectors to safely document roofing, chimneys, siding, trim, and other areas that may be difficult to access. When needed, drone roof inspections are included with the home inspection at no additional charge. Our drone pilots are FAA Part 107 certified.

"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!"
