We've used their team for multiple inspections of both new construction and remodels…read more This week, we had Dylan and Lee each complete an inspection on separate properties. Each inspector has been thorough and detailed in their reporting, thoughtful in letting us know big and little things they notice around the property, and are exceptionally speedy with getting the report written and shared. For those who want detail, these reports are often 40+ pages with pictures and descriptions. I've felt confident in the home buying and selling process based on these inspections. We will certainly continue using this company due to their reliability, detail, and professionalism.

We're a couple novices when it comes to owning a home, so having someone with Lee's patience was such a blessing when it came time to go over the inspection report. The report was extremely detailed, but Lee was sure to highlight the most important parts when it came to safety and longevity. You absolutely have to give these people your business if you're looking to support a non-profit and get a great inspection.

I have had several houses inspected over the years and I must say this was the most painless experience.

BEWARE! I used PacWest prior to purchasing a home. Just a few months later, significant dry rot…read moreissues were found. While working with a reputable construction company, they let me know that indicators of the damage should've been caught in the inspection process as these were issues that occurred previously and were present during the inspection. When I reached out to PacWest with the information, pictures, and invoices I received, they assumed no liability, did not acknowledge any mistake or missed issues, and were not willing to work with me at all to make it right. The entire front siding of my home had to be ripped off and replaced during the winter when it rains heavily every day. I was highly encouraged to move forward and get it fixed before more damage was done. PacWest continues to state that I 'waited too long' to reach out to them, when I reached out to them shortly after the issue had been brought to light and repairs were being made. Please learn from my experience. When you need a thorough, complete, and knowledgeable home inspection, look elsewhere. Zero accountability and poor work product overall.

My wife and I are first-time home buyers-- an objectively stressful experience. We found what…read moreamounts to our dream home, got our offer accepted, and our realtor recommended Tabor NW (specifically Zach) to perform the inspection on the home. We weren't too worried as, through the showings, the home seemed to be very well maintained. Zach stopped by the home to perform the inspection and confirmed that the home was in great condition, but as with all homes, there were maintenance, repair, and installation recommendations. Going through the home buying process, we had more than our fair share of questions and clarifications, but Zach blew us away. The evening following the inspections, Zach sent us a thorough and detailed narrative of his findings. We expected to read over it, have no clue what half of it meant, and then have to have the inspector and our realtor disseminate all of it. We were ab-so-lutely wrong. Zach not only gave us recommendations on what we should have repaired, maintained, or installed, but he laid out where any issues were individually located (with photos and diagrams), whether or not repairs and maintenance should be done personally or by a professional, and best of all, it was all presented in simple, easy to understand terminology. We had no questions, no stresses, and full peace-of-mind following Zach's inspection. It is entirely clear why Tabor NW was recommended to perform our home inspection. Thank you, Zach!

We were in the process of buying a home in the PDX area and our realtor recommended this company…read morefor our pre-closing inspection. Andy was very thorough; spent at least 5 hours inspecting and then doing a wrap up with us (we were at the property while the inspection was being conducted). I believe the price was $850 or so but totally needed it as we would also get a VA appraisal done so it helped catch anything they might have stopped the loan process over. There were quite a few items that were considered "safety issues" and that we needed to pay particular attention to. We need to set up the re-inspection, but the seller made scheduling difficult, and with us currently residing in Bend, we couldn't just come up on a whim that didn't pan out. So Andy's company was very awesome in working through a few schedule changes for the re-inspection - really above and beyond what I myself would expect from ANY service provider. I believe the re-inspection was about $150. I totally recommend this company for their flexibility in scheduling, and also for the VERY comprehensive written report (with photos) that we can use as a guidepost to repairs the home will need in the near future. Thank you, Andy- you are amazing and I will contact you should I ever need help with verifying my current and future homes repair and maintenance needs.

Andy performed two inspections during our homebuying process - one in Keizer, and one in Salem. He…read morewas referred to us by our fantastic relator (Hector Garcia), and we were 100% happy with Andy's services. He was readily available, efficient, friendly, and professional, and helped answer our questions during and after the inspection process. He reviewed the reports with us on his computer when he finished, and promptly emailed us copies of the report. We also had him do sewer scopes and radon tests. (Charge was $645 for inspection + sewer scope + radon test; he gave us a discount on the second inspection.) Tip: Always get the sewer scope! Andy pointed out that although the sewer on the first home was in perfectly good shape, it ran under the neighbor's home and yard, which was a lawsuit waiting to happen. Best money we ever spent . . .

He spent an incredible amount of time especially impressive considering his very reasonable price point. He went thru every nook and crannie of our home, his attention to detail was meticulous. He provided an voluminously impressive report with detailed photos, recommendations, prioritizing potential repairs, it's quite odd having lived in our home he pointed out things we never even noticed. When we were shopping for an inspection company we were not looking for a glowing, flowery report we wanted the truth! Cascade Sierra Home Inspections is the truth, James is the truth, we could be happier with them and will recommend them to anybody and everybody! Thanks again James you delivered in spades with an honest assessment of our new home, and provided a checklist for us to use and helps prioritizing what to repair and what can wait a bit.

I've been in construction and looked myself, but they were much better informed, and went in with a fine tooth comb. The value of their service, which yes costed me a little, divided by 3 guys over 3 hours, plus a return trip to pickup and analyze the radon, and write the report is honestly worth it. I'm just starting out, young family, newly wed, etc., and that house would have financially ruined us and impacted our marriage. Will 100% call them on the next one we try to buy, probably in the next few months.

We recently purchased a home in Cornelius Oregon. The House Detectives were chosen by our broker to…read moreinspect the property prior to closing the deal so that we could make an informed decision. We were allowed to be there on inspection day to observe the process and speak directly to the inspectors as they were working. The two men were both very professional and quite thorough in their visual inspection of the home. They were up on the roof and crawling into all the attic spaces as well as crawling under the floor. They took pictures along the way and printed those pictures in a detailed report describing everything they discovered about the property. This report gave us the confidence we needed to complete the house purchase. We know what to expect about the remaining life cycle of the appliances and what we will face in short and long term maintenance and repairs on the house. If you ever find yourself in need of a home inspection, you probably could not find a more friendly and thorough crew than The House Detectives. We recommend them to you wholeheartedly.
