Had my home inspection on 6-16-25, it was completed by Ross. I arrived about 15min early and Ross already had the ladder out, on the roof, getting things done. Ross was very professional, It was explained to me, in detail, of the findings on the report. I highly recommend this company for your home inspection. Ross was very patient, was not in a hurry to leave, made sure all questions were answered. If i could give you 6 stars, i would. read more

In todays volatile housing market I chose to inspect a property that was very appealing in the Belfair WA area. I was very pleased with the honesty and professionalism of our inspector. Our inspector, Jim, came with a pleasing reassuring attitude and wealth of knowledge to our prospective homestead. Jim provided a genuinely thourough inspection record that provided a grounds to negotiate a better bottom line with the sellers agent. Inspection cost marginal to the money I saved. Thank you Jim.

Larry is AMAZING!!!!!!! He recently conducted a home inspection for clients of mine, he saved us thousands of dollars in future repairs by taking his time to look at everything around the home and in the home. He even stopped the inspection mid way through because, there were some major issues and he didn't charge our clients full price because we stopped the inspection due to the high cost of repairs that were needed to move forward with the purchase. THANK YOU LARRY!!!!!!! read more

As a first time homebuyer, our realtor recommended Jim from Cameo Home Inspections, to help us determine what the condition of the property was in. Super glad we did! We were looking at a 1905 Victorian Craftsman, which we knew needed some work. Well, turned out it needed A LOT OF WORK. Jim saved us from a true money pit with his comprehensive 70+ page report. When we found our next prospect property a month later, we hired Jim again. This house was a 1908 Victorian Craftsman. Jim came out, worked over the property, declared it in much better condition house than the first, with mostly routine maintenance, and a few important issues needing to be addressed. The level of professionalism and thorough detail Jim provided gave us confidence in our decisions. He returned our calls promptly when we had last minute questions. Jim, with Cameo Home Inspections, saved this first time home buyer time and money! Thanks guys! read more

I cannot put into words how large my regret is for hiring Larry as an inspector for my girlfriends expensive home purchase. I based this decision on the fact that Larry claims to have personally performed in excess of 12,000 home inspections and is so skilled and experienced that he teaches college courses on home inspection. Well, as it turns out, Larry overlooked between $60,000--$90,000 worth of fairly obvious defects that virtually any inspector with more than a few months experience would have caught. read more

My wife and I have hired Jim Williams of Cameo Home Inspection Services twice on advice of our realtor. Jim is incredibly thorough as well as being a nice guy. The inspection reports are detailed and readable. We recommend him without hesitation. read more

After pending an offer on a home my we asked our realtor who she recommended for the inspection. She didn't give us a list or a few options she simply said there is no one better than Cameo Home Inspections. After working with her I trusted her opinion and am happy I did because they did a stellar job. Jim from Cameo was so thorough and detailed in his inspection and his report. The information he provided has been invaluable. He was personable, professional and the turn around was lightening fast. He has such a keen eye and attention to detail and provided my family with a great report and a sense of safety knowing so much more about our potential house. I can't say enough good things about Jim and his company. read more

Larry came to inspect a 24-YO property with a single large outbuilding. His comprehensive review of the property took over three hours. I think the prices were pretty reasonable for that much time spent, Zena, and the report itself was comprehensive and clearly written. His comments tipped us to require additional inspections before we finalized a contract to buy the property. In comparison to all the reports for property my family has purchased over the years, I would rate the report received from Cameo as one of the best. Further, Larry has offered to come by to discuss his report when we take possession of the property. Finally, another plus, Renee was charming on the telephone and extremely helpful. read more

I've employed Cameo Home Inspection Service three times in the last six months during the process of buying a home in Northwest Washington. Buying a home long distance is stressful at best but Jim Williams with Cameo made the process infinitely less difficult. Renee in the office is friendly and efficient. Jim is not only extremely knowledgeable and thorough, he is patient with questions and fun and friendly to talk with. He provides detailed summaries as well as in-depth final reports with lots of photos and recommendations. I would not hesitate to call him again, should the need arise, and recommend him and his company unreservedly. read more

I want to thank Jim, our home inspector for being honest and thorough. He told us everything that needed to be fixed as well as things that are minor fixes and how to take care of them. He was on time, professional and worked through all the chaos my kids caused. I appreciate how he worked and how helpful he was even after the inspection. I would recommend him as he was recommended to me by my friend. Thank you, Jim! read more

Larry came and inspected two adjoining properties that I'm purchasing, and I couldn't have been happier with the level of service or the quality of the inspection and resulting reports. One property was a well-maintained 1974 building that was fairly open-shut in terms of inspection; the other was a poorly maintained (to put it lighty) 1925 building, which was not open-shut at all. Amongst the discoveries on the older property was a pot grow in the basement. A legal grow, with a medical license, but nonetheless was an interesting discovery during an inspection, and was releasing a lot of moisture into the house above. Luckily, it turned out Larry was somewhat of an expert on the issues involved in purchasing and inspecting houses that had been used for drug production (pot grows, meth labs, etc.) How many inspectors would have brought that knowledge to the table? I tailed Larry throughout the inspection, to learn in detail about the issues with the older house in particular, and he was more than happy to share his insights with me along the way in an open and very personable way. Not only a great inspector, but super friendly. I highly recommend Larry and Cameo Home Inspection Services. Regarding the comment from Zena, I found Cameo's price to be highly competitive. Inspections usually cost around $500, I've found; Cameo's was actually less than that, at about $400 per property. Seems to me a guy who's job it is to clean roofs is naturally going to tell a customer that a roof needs cleaning instead of replacing. An inspector isn't vested either way, but wil call it like it is. And a bad/dishonest plumber will always find extra plumbing work that needs to be done, whether it's necessary or not. Just my observation on that as a complaint. read more

If I could give no stars I would. I paid $300 to treat an ant infestation the professional antman says doesn't exist. All this was was some sawdust from when the home was built. This inspector also said there was an extreme rodent problem, again inaccurate according to the exterminator. How can these people not be held accountable for their false reports? Beware home sellers, when you agree to fix requested repairs put in a clause that says if these repairs are found to be false or unnecessary the cost shall be covered by the home buyer. I have definitely learned my lesson and this company is obviously not well versed in their profession. read more

Purchased the house two years ago. I did not know much about home ownership at the time, but I have since learned quite a bit. After learning what to look for and what not to look for, I realized that our home inspection overlooked several key problems. - Several loose posts on the post and beam foundation. - Areas in the attick with no insulation (it was noted that some was needed, but didn't say there was none in places) - Rotten fascia boards most of the way around the house. - Sagging gutters that do not allow the water to properly reach the downspout. - Deck stairs landing on bare dirt (they were all rotten). Definitely not happy with our home inspection. Especially when some of these things were pretty simple. read more

This inspection service is a bit more spendy, and I expected more than the average home inspection. What I got was about average, maybe worse. He didn't get on the roof, just looked and said it needed to be replaced. I looked into replacement, but decided to clean it and see. The guy who cleaned it remarked there is plenty of life left in it. then this inspector recommended a plumber I found less than honest: Springer Plumbing. Springer came for an "inspection" and he didn't find a leak under the sink, but charged me $110 just to look around the house. A rip off. All together I was disappointed. I don't recommend him. read more

I had a home built for me over last spring and finished up this past summer when it came time to get a home inspection my realtor suggest Larry, and I am glad I did. HE was beyond professional and was very easy to talk to. At no time did I feel like it was talking down to me or miss leading. To be honest, I think Zena's review is based on not doing research on costs before hiring someone as well as not understanding that you don't need to get on a roof if you can tell it looks bad from the ground and anyways what's the standard for "A lot of life left". Larry went above and beyond what I expected and did an excellent job pointing out things that I would have no thought of looking at or doing. As well as educating me on things I would need to go in the future, and he even offered to come back and do another inspection after the house was 100% complete so that we were covered. I would recommend him any day. read more

We were very happy with Mr. Stamp's reports on the first two homes we bid on. As a result of his inspections and written reports we did not purchase the first two houses we bid on. The homes needed more repairs than we were willing to make or conditions that would be expensive to correct. When Mr. Stamp arrived at the third house we bid on (Inspection done on 05/23/12), he had a man with him that he said he was training. We did not follow them around the house as they performed the inspection. We received our written report which detailed items that needed to be corrected but nothing that we felt was a deal breaker. The report did not mention that the crawlspace showed evidence of seasonal water intrusion. Nor did it mention that the plastic driveway drainage channel was cracked and needed to be replaced. The homeowner's declaration did not disclose seasonal water in the crawlspace. Mr. Stamp really missed it this time. We purchased the house in July, 2012. In December 2012 we entered our walk in crawlspace to find one and a half to two inches of water in a section of the crawlspace directly below the furnace air intake. We find that the water comes into the crawlspace after several days of continuous rains. We contacted a well known waterproofing company to investigate how we might correct these problems. The cheapest remedy in their tool kit was $5,000.00 worth of trenching and a gravity sump in the crawlspace and an additional $5,000.00 to replace the driveway drain. So my husband and I have learned a new skill set in our retirement, making 3 trenches on the property and a rain garden to channel the water. We also replaced the plastic driveway channel with a new better one from HD Fowler. We just completed our final trench August 2016. We fixed the problems but I understand now why folks file a lawsuit when inspectors don't inspect and homeowner declarations don't declare. We also learned how to operate a bucket excavator. I will never depend on one inspection service again should I buy another house. A plumber to inspect the plumbing, electrician to inspect electrical, engineer to inspect structural, roofer to inspect the roof. Mr. Stamp's failure to identify these issues has cost us a lot of time, stress and money. Yeah, Mr. Stamp is a nice guy, but I'm not paying him to be nice! read more
