Quantum Home Inspection

Very, very thorough and helpful.

Very efficient, lots of info, brought up things I was unaware were not done  ( but hubby was - he has been going through his list of repairs since) I suspect the younger home buyers are quite picky and not do it your selfers like we are so I did not want any surprises when we list the house. My husband does not "hear" my requests and questions concerning a lot of the items but will listen to an official and another man, worth the money for sure. I recommend him for buyer or seller.

Fantastuc service.
Scheduked service over the phone. We had acwritten agremment in hand via email about two hours after we spoke.
Mathew arrived 15 minutes early for tge inspection, three days after we first spoke, and went right to work. His inspection was very through and he communicated each process very clearly so even my wife could understand. This inspection was for a vintage home and he was extremely knowledgeable of the building processes used in the era and what to look for. He pointed out all the positives, as well as his concerns. We had a detailed full report in hand the next day. The report included high resolution photos withnpoiters showing the concern he was referring to in his explanation. Very impressed with Mathews' work and he was an absolute pleasure to spend the better part of our afternoon with. Highly reccomended!

He was there before the appointed time and was very thorough with his inspection and provided a detailed and helpful report.

At the outset, I have to say I was very impressed with promptness, his geniality and the thoroughness with which he conducted the inspection. His summary at the end was extremely complete and in terms that a layman could comprehend.

His publication was illustrated with photographs to help illustrate the point his was pressing.

If I have the need for another home inspection in the Spokane, I have no doubt who I will hire. Matthew Pedersen of Quantum Inspections.

The inspection was the best and most thorough we've ever had. We would definitely use this company again, should we need an inspection again.

Matthew was there early, explained everything very clearly, and was very professional. I felt like he really took the time to look at each area of the house, and made sure I had all of my questions answered before we moved to another part of the house. He made suggestions of contractors and prices for improvements and repairs, and emailed the report the next morning. I would definetly recommend him.

Matthew promptly returned our call and scheduled a time to perform our inspection. I showed up 15 minutes early and Matthew was already at the house with his ladder set up, doing preliminary work. We explained that we were first time home buyers and requested that he educate us about maintenance throughout the inspection. Matthew explained the contract in-depth, and explained how the process would work. This was a fairly daunting process for my fiancee and I, but Matthew's laid back and humorous demeanor put us at ease.
To say Matthew was thorough would be an understatement. We started on the exterior of the home where Matthew went over the siding with us. He knew the brand name of product that was on the home, and the history as to why it was a recalled material. He then went on to further explain our options. He inspected the deck supports, air conditioning unit, landscaping proximity to the siding, deck railings, and so many other things I can't even remember. Then he inspected the roof with the same rigor, taking multiple pictures from all different angles.
On the inside he went over the initial roof findings and then started in the rooms. In every room in the house Matthew was filling the bathtubs and sinks, checking every single outlet, checking that oven and refrigerator temperatures were accurate, and he was again taking a ton of pictures along the way. Along with inspecting the typical things that I've mentioned, Matthew went one step further making suggestions on items that were perfectly fine, but fixes that he would personally make. One example here is he found that one of the bathroom sinks had a bendable (accordion style) drain. He advised that these tend to get clogged more often that others. This is just one example of how he went over and above the call of duty to educate us as first time buyers. He was even willing to give us rough price estimates for fixes, which was extremely enlightening.
After the inspection was over Matthew took the time to explain all of his findings in language that we could fully understand, while simultaneously showing pictures that he took as visual aids. He also provided us with a basic maintenance binder that was filled with information on shut off valves, air filters, and other useful things that we could reference after we move in.
The home inspection took slightly under 3 hours to complete from start to finish, and it was totally worth it. We didn't finish the inspection until about 7:30pm, so you can imagine how surprised we were when we got the inspection report emailed to us THE NEXT MORNING AT 6:30AM! Talk about follow through!
I have very high standards for contract workers as I deal with them everyday in my professional life; and I can say without a doubt that I will be recommending Matthew Pedersen of The BrickKicker of Spokane to everyone I know.

The inspection took slightly less than the three hours Matthew predicted. I walked through the inspection with him as he pointed out positive and negative things he saw. I received the report by email the next day. I was a more positive experience than I even expected.

BrickKickers arrived on time and completed a thorough home inspection. He gave us a prompt report including details to have repaired. Very pleasant experience!

Overall I found Matthew to be very professional, low-keyed, and very informative. I don't think that he missed anything, and he was quite willing to look at anything about which I was concerned. It was a very positive and beneficial experience for me and my wife. His report was very complete, specific, and clear. I received the Radon test results today as promised. Matthew helpfully included a link to the EPA website that explained radon and testing procedures (very informative). The charge for the inspection was reasonable. I cannot recommend him highly enough.

We are buying a second home for a rental. The BrickKicker was on time and was prepared to do the home inspection. He was thorough and delivered the report on time as promised. He was able to let us know that areas of the house that the FHA inspector would find and write in their report to the lending bank. We used this company ten years ago and was so impressed with the service, we did not hesitate to call the company again.
