Home Inspections

Vancouver Washington Home Inspections

We have a thorough, multi-point checklist ensuring we are inspecting to the Standards of Practice and hitting our marks. We will explain the overall condition of the home and its systems at the end of the inspection. If you are not present feel free to call the office and we will set up a time to go through the report with you.

In addition, we will compile a comprehensive Spectora report, delivered online via HTML, or in PDF format, documenting all of our findings, and including images, references and further details. This report will be available for you both in a desktop-friendly format and a mobile format, so that you can stay in-the-loop and check your report even when you’re on the go.
