WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING

“Thank You! I will certainly pass your name along. I appreciate not only your thoroughness and professionalism, but also your comments that will be tremendously helpful to me in the future. While I don’t anticipate having the gas or electric company locking up services, knowing where the cut-off switches are is important information to me. I appreciate your tagging the cut-off valves to the furnace and hot water tank. My memory seems to fade with age and that will be a help in case of an emergency. I also promise to never, ever block the vents in the furnace space! Take care.”

— Peg Terp
“Thanks for the timely and very professional inspection you did on the property at 107th Ave. SE in Bellevue. It’s always a pleasure working with someone who gives 110% to his clients. I will be recommending you to others in the near future.”
– Tom Fitzgerald

THOROUGH INSPECTIONS
Property Inspector LLC is always striving to be at the top of their field!

Our objective is to provide our clients with the most complete inspection possible. This will allow our clients to make the most informed buying decision possible when considering a home or investment property purchase.

Our inspection includes all structural, mechanical and pest of the building. We go under the house in the crawlspace, on the roof, in the attic and through the house. We operate all systems and examine all installations if possible. When necessary, the latest in inspection tools (moisture meter, carbon monoxide detector, natural and sewer gas detector, hygrometer, and digital thermometer) are used when the situation warrants it.

The average inspection runs about 4-5 man hours, with plenty of time for questions and educational home operations and maintenance advice included.

THE REPORT
The inspector will provide you with a digital report on the day of the inspection. It contains both a checklist (so nothing is overlooked) and narrative comments to explain your specific house; no two homes ever age and wear identically. Digital Pictures of your home are included in the report. The report will also contain information regarding the overall construction materials used which can be very useful to understanding your home and perhaps help you in any future remodeling projects of your own. You may also be referred to my WEBSITE for a further understanding and clarification of any specific problem.
