Home inspections in Portland, OR.

Look beyond the finishes.

A fresh kitchen or updated flooring tells only part of a home’s story. My inspection focuses on accessible systems and structure so you can understand the condition behind the presentation, whether you are buying an older house or newer construction.

I inspect homes throughout the Portland metro area, explaining findings in plain language and identifying items that may warrant further evaluation. The report helps you and your agent decide which questions, repairs or specialist assessments to address next.

Inspection services for your Oregon property.

Home inspection

Following Oregon’s home inspection standards of practice, I evaluate accessible exterior components, roof and attic, structure and crawlspace, plumbing, electrical, heating and cooling, and interior components. The inspection is visual and non-invasive; access restrictions and other limitations are documented.

A look inside the sewer line

The condition of a buried sewer line is not apparent during a walkthrough. A sewer scope can document visible root intrusion, displaced joints, cracks and low sections in the accessible line. Newer homes can also have installation-related issues, so age alone does not establish the pipe’s condition.

Radon measurements for the home you are buying

A separate radon test measures levels in the property rather than relying on its appearance, age or neighborhood. I use continuous monitoring equipment for a minimum 48-hour test and provide the results for your next steps.

Portland metro coverage.

Service includes Portland, Beaverton, Hillsboro, Gresham, Troutdale, Lake Oswego, West Linn, Tigard and Tualatin. Contact me with your address and preferred date to confirm availability.

Plan around your inspection deadline.

When requesting an appointment, include the property size, year built and any concerns raised during your showing. Let me know if you want a sewer scope or radon test alongside the home inspection so we can coordinate access and timing.

You will receive a digital home inspection report with photographs within 24 hours. I can walk you through the findings and answer follow-up questions.
