As an inspector with more than 4500 completed inspections, I run my business with one goal in mind - to perform the most thorough inspection I can so that you don't face unwelcome surprises. In addition to my home inspection experience, I am a former Chairman of the State Home Inspector Advisory Board which developed the Standards of Practice for Washington State. I am also a former member of the Washington State Building Code Council and wrote a short book for home sellers titled Surviving the Home Inspection. The inspection will include all the elements of the Washington State SoP. From top to bottom, I will inspect your home. If safe, I will walk the roof, crawl the crawlspace, and remove covers for electrical panels. Reports are completed on the same day and include digital pictures and video. Your comfort and safety in your home is my utmost priority.

"It seemed to go OK - he was on time and friendly. But, after the inspection we discovered that a number of issues had been overlooked or poorly evaluated. Through a series of unexpected circumstances, we've moved 4 times in the past 6 years - yuck! That, combined with the fact that we've owned about 10 houses over the years (including 2 ranches) has given us a lot of exposure to inspectors. This inspector just missed too many things & didn't pay attention to details. For example, the shop had an attic that was accessed by a drop down ladder. The inspector had noted that the roof was in poor shape, but he failed to climb the ladder to see if it had been leaking. He stated that "access to ladder was obstructed and he could not access the attic." But the realtor and I both had no trouble in dropping the ladder and crawling up for a look. There was no blockage AT ALL! Unfortunately, we didn't have a flashlight, so we couldn't see much. In my opinion, he just got lazy or in a hurry. His failure ultimately will cost us over $10,000 - the shop roof was leaking and now needs a full replacement. Had he simply taken the time to check this out - especially since he'd already noted the roof was in poor condition (which should have been a red-flag causing him to investigate further) we could have required to seller to address the issue - but he just blew it off and by the time I could look again (we lived three hours from home in question), and take a flashlight, the inspection period had passed. Access was unhampered, he just chose not to do his job and justified it by saying access was blocked. He failed in a number of other ways too (like a failure to conduct or even suggest radon testing). Very disappointed. If you want a quick, "once over lightly" inspection, he's your guy. If you need a detailed assessment of a property you're planning to buy, I would not recommend him - period!"

Energy Efficiency Auditing questions, answered by experts

Gas fireplaces use either natural gas or propane—both of which will increase your energy expenses. On average, running a gas fireplace costs $400 to $640 per year; however, these costs can vary significantly depending on the fuel price in your area and the frequency of fireplace use. If you’re looking for a more energy-efficient option, consider switching to an electric fireplace.

You'll likely need more than great home staging to sell your home. Now is a great time to get to work on the curb appeal of your home . Hire local exterior painters and landscapers to coat the exterior of your home and bring it new life with some sprucing up.

Yes, energy-efficient windows really can make a difference. As long as energy-efficient windows are properly installed and maintained, they can reduce your energy bill and offer significant savings.

Typically, a local home energy auditor is responsible for performing energy audits. A home energy auditor will conduct one of three energy audits designed by the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating, and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) to determine the energy efficiency of your home. The auditor often provides analysis that can help guide changes and improvements to your home for better energy efficiency, giving recommendations as necessary.

Generator size requirements vary wildly among properties, but typical generator sizes are listed below based on home square footage:

  • 1,000 sq ft: 6–9 kW

  • 1,500 sq ft: 7–10 kW

  • 2,000 sq ft: 10–14kW

  • 2,500 sq ft: 12–16kW

  • 3,000 sq ft: 16–20kW+

Unfortunately, home square footage isn’t always a good indicator of generator size requirements. Instead, you should call in a professional to discuss which items in your home you’d like to run via your generator. They can calculate peak and average consumption for those items and then size your generator appropriately for optimal performance.
