Top shelf company with honest and professional employees. I was able to get an accurate inspection and they took the time to answer questions when the job was done. I would recommend this company to any home buyers/sellers in Oregon! read more

Robert King did a thorough inspection of our new home in Portland. His observations and recommendations were spot on. He was very responsive and answered questions well after the inspection. I highly recommend this company. read more

So, when buying a home, I appreciate diligence on the part of my inspector. But. Ever hear the saying "anything that comes before the but doesn't count"? Yep. If I followed their inspection, there's no way I would have purchased the house. Their inspector called out things that were not in fact issues. It was expensive and borderline useless. I'm a general contractor and I'm busy, so they dealt exclusively with my spouse. I don't know if they were trying to play on her fears to make it seem like they were doing a good job, or get work for their friends fixing non-existent issues. The things they called out were mostly either straight up fictitious or massively overblown. We will never use them again, assuming of course we ever move from the house we bought. read more

Two for the price of one with Rob and his son. Very nice to work with and very knowledgable. I am a Realtor and I wish these two were not as busy! They do a good job, my clients like them and so do I. read more

Rob and Jesse were awesome. I can understand why a seller wouldn't be happy because he is very thorough. As a buyer he found things I never noticed and documented them for us. He found things even licensed technicians did find, mold and damaged trim. We would have moved in and found all these things after the fact and been out of a lot of money fixing it out of our own pocket. Thanks is Robert for your keen attention to detail. read more

As a first time home buyer, I needed a reliable and affordable inspection to help me close on my home quickly. Robert did just that! He was very communicative, flexible and informative. Totally ready to answer any questions I had. I couldn't ask for a better experience and I felt so much more sure footed and knowledgeable in my home buying adventure. Thank you!! read more

I recently went on a house inspection, with my friend, who bought a home in Hillsboro. This company arrived promptly on a weekend and were polite and friendly. There were 2 gentleman, Robert and another man whose name I cant recall now. They were very knowledgeable and spent a great deal of time going through the house and the outside. I have had several inspectors for my houses in the past and none were ever this detailed. I know exactly where I would go when its time to buy again. They spent a good amount of time explaining things and talking to me about general concerns even though I was just the buyers friend. They also seemed in good standing with the realtor and other trades. The price they charged was the same as I paid 10 years ago, so even the cost is very acceptable. I recommend this company and plan to use them when I buy again. read more

DO NOT RECOMMEND. Find a different inspector at all cost (because they are costly). When you get a home inspection done, it is understandable to have things done properly and inspected properly- but these are not your folks! We had an inspection done on our home by this company. When they left, our home was not how we left it. Our blinds were messed up (tilted and almost broken), we had items on the floor of our shower that were broken, our rugs were all moved, our outside table was moved, the dishwasher was left on and running, our towels in our bathroom were used, and there was insulation on all of our clothing and floors from them crawling inside and not cleaning up. I do have multiple pictures of these items on my phone that I took to show our realtor. She did apologize for what they did but does not fix the issue. They are super unprofessional. Now onto the inspection report - In the report this company went as far as to say the entire house needed to be completely repainted because the updated paint did not match the weathered paint which is 12 years old (this updated paint was matched as closely as possible and was repainted from cement boards being caulked from cracking due to weather). The report also complained about all screens in the house needing to be replaced because they were slightly bent, due to them being taken out for cleaning of the windows. Our realtor said this was outrageous because the screens were not damaged at all and are still in working order and that this is common for people who do clean their windows. While in the attic space, there was a very small fungus found the size of a baseball and said a professional needed to repair this. We got estimates from two companies, both of which said this was ridiculous and they could not believe this came up on an inspection because there is nothing to do for it. Both companies told us all they would do is wipe and clean it for us which we as home owners, can do ourselves and there was no need for this to come up on an inspection report. These are the major things I will point out, but there is a list of issues with this company both we and or realtor agree to. All and all, DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY! read more

Rob and Jesse were early for the scheduled appointment. They were very through and detailed and took the time to explain to me any of the concerns they found. The report was very detailed and had pictures to back up their report. This was the third inspection that I have had done with Rob and I would go with no one else. They inspect with integrity and will not leave anything out. They are honest with everything they find. read more

the result we got was incomplete, they missed several big issues and pointed out trivial things. not worth the money.

I'm going to start off by saying that "Yes, I am the seller", because this seems to be the rebuttal when a bad review is given. Expression homes was hired by the buyers of our home. The home inspection report was sloppy. So sloppy and inaccurate that the inspectors had to go back and "correct" their report after we pointed things out to them! The inspectors also caused damage to the siding of our home. They punched 3/8" holes/dents with a lag bolt in our siding and trim in various spots around the house looking for dry rot. Mind you, every home inspection is supposed to be non invasive. It even states this in his report! Besides damaging our home, the report was full of mistakes and inaccuracies. For example, the report stated that our water heater and electrical panel were located in the garage. They are not, they are actually in the utility room. He stated that he inspected various hall closets within our home. Non of which actually exist in our home. He supposedly inspected an exhaust fan in our utility room that also doesn't exist. They reported that we have a sliding glass door in our home. We do not. It's a french door to the outside. These inspectors took the worst pictures of our roof and panicked the buyers. I'm not sure how old their camera is, but I haven't seen pictures that bad in a long time. We had a separate roof inspector come out and inspect the roof because the buyers where insisting we replace the roof for them. The professional roof inspector told the buyers the roof looked great. Certified it for 3-5 years (because that is all they will do), but told the buyers if they take care of it, they could get another 7-10 years out of it. So my question is, "why such a terrible write up on the roof from the home inspectors?" My husband and I think these inspectors are buddies with the buyers' agent. The buyers offered full price for our home to tie it down and were likely told they could negotiate the price later on with things that came up on the home inspection. Not cool. When I questioned the buyers agent about the inspection and all the mistakes and inaccuracies, he stated that it was a father/son team and the information they both gathered could have gotten mixed up in the report. But my thought is, even if one of them is writing up the report, all their notes on my home should still be ACCURATE! I would caution anyone thinking about using this company for their home inspections. read more
