Inspectek West, Inc.

The team was very quick to get us in for inspection and was super profession throughout. Tyler was thorough in his overview of the report and did a great job. He was willing to go over this with me in person even though the recommendation was to skip the in person review due to COVID 19, which was super helpful for me as a first time homeowner. I have been very happy with their willingness to answer any questions I may have or arise in the future. I definitely recommend this company.

Inspectek West made numerous, substantial errors in the inspection, simply missing certain features such as a roof vent and making inaccurate statements about other features. They incorrectly stated that the windows are vinyl--they are wood and metal cladding. They failed to understand the stucco installation method and made erroneous statements about the home in the final report. They were not willing to admit to the buyer that they had made substantial errors after we attempted to have them correct and reissue the report. The reissued report left us having to explain the errors and disclose the report to all future buyers, even though it was wrong. The buyer withdrew from the sale. I would never use this contractor again.

Justin did 25+ sewer scope for our clients in 2017. He is always on time. He is easy to work with and kind to every client. He is knowledgeable and has great relationships with the best contractors in Portland if the line needs repair or replacement. He keeps a good relationship with the City of Portland that has helped us keep open communication with that office. Thank you Justin for a great year! If you need someone you can trust to evaluate your sewer line. Justin Cullers and Inspecteck West is your guy!

Brian and Justin are so good at giving you the info you need.

Inspectek West did the home inspection on my new home. Larry was outstanding to work with. He was on time and thorough and detailed in his work. He gave a clear verbal summary of his inspection and the writen report he provides is well orgainized, detailed and utilizes pictures for clarity...and it was received the same day as the inspection. My realtor recommended Larry based on past experience and I would absolutely join the list of clients that recommend him going forward. I would use him again in my next purchase without hesitation.

I am a Realtor who has been using Inspectek for 13 years and have sat thru dozens of their home inspections. In my opinion, they are the best you can get! On occasion my buyers choose to use a home inspector of their own choosing or a referral from a friend and I am never as confident in their work as with the Hays at Inspectek. I have found some inspectors to not actually go on the roof, or into the crawl spaces, or miss very important systems (ok, sometimes they cant go to these places if it is inaccessible or dangerous). For example, Carbon monoxide detectors have been required to be in place in all homes for over a year. The inspector my buyer used a few weeks ago never checked for the detectors and his report has not been updated to include the CO detector. Another forgot to check for a garbage disposal, another never turned on the dishwasher.... The Hays are thorough, professional, ALWAYS on time and just all around good guys!

We are overall pleased with Inspectek. Larry was on time and did a nice job of explaining the process. The report was emailed to us the same day, and was clear, concise and easy to understand. Larry found a couple things that we're thankful that he caught. He also recommended a sewer scope, which was a good thing because the scope discovered problems with the sewer pipe.

The only reason why we didn't give him an and quot;Aand quot; for professionalism was that he took a couple phone calls in the middle of the inspection. We found that a bit off the mark, as we took time off work to be there and every minute he wasn't focused on us (his clients) is every minute wasted.

Otherwise, Larry is very knowledgeable in all aspects of the inner workings of a home, is personable and easy to work with. We would recommend Inspectek.

Cory did the home inspection and was very thorough. He found several concerns in the home that were not identified by the seller's inspector and he identified areas that the seller had listed as repaired that had not been.

His report summarized everything he found - but before he left he was able to verbally explain what he had found and let us know what were major concerns and what was typically for a home of that age. He helped us understand which issues were projects that could be tackled by a home improvement project and which we would likely need a contractor for as well. We were so much more prepared to negotiate with the sellers with the information he was able to provide.

Because it was an older house, he recommended having our sewer line scoped as well - it was an additional cost, but provided a great ease of mind to know what possible problems we might encounter. Not only that, but because of the scope we were able to realize that we had a shared sewage line and that there was an undisclosed easement with the city and that would allow us access to a neighbor's yard in case of future repairs. The DVD we received was very easy to understand and is something we'll be able to refer to in future years if issues arise.

The inspector was very professional and thorough. The detailed report was sent the same day. Radon test was completed in 48 hours. I was very pleased with the inspection and report. The inspector also gave me information about some of the home features I wasn't familiar with. Since the house is new, he will come back in one year to inspect in time to get repairs made during the home warrantee period (at no additional charge).

Cory at Inspectek West performed the home inspection when I purchased the house I am currently in; and based on the quality of that work, I knew this company was who I would contact to perform a pre-sale home inspection prior to putting the house up for sale. Cory was able to schedule the inspection timely and around my schedule; and he arrived on-time for the appointment. He did a very thorough inspection, and took time when he was done to verbally review what he had found (luckily nothing major!). He is very knowledgeable of industry standards and codes applicable for the age of the house. He thoroughly explained the more significant issues he found; and was able to suggest alternatives on how the problem might be fixed by a contractor. Cory was also very willing to answer all of the questions I had. The inspection was performed in the morning; and I had a written report emailed to me by the end of the same day. The report is formatted in an easy to read manner; with pictures provided for each problem that was found.

Great experience overall. It was very helpful to walk through with him, he provided me with a lot of information and also answered questions I had during the inspection. He told me about what he found along the way. Everything of which was also in the report. He was easy to talk to, very obliging to all my questions, friendly and professional. He was there for a number of hours looking at everything. He was also experienced with current and past standards (e.g. he saw a sink had rusted from weld line and knew what was from my age of house where they had done this bad design). He provided a 35 page report the same day in PDF format. He found a number of issues and as a result I've had the opportunity to get them all taken care of by the seller prior to closing.
