I neglected to post a review for Chris and North Coast Inspection Service when he did our new home inspection last year. His report was thorough, and in great detail, which helped my follow up with my builder. Great photos and narrative on all issues. Thanks Chris. Fast forward to now. I just requested a copy of the Report, and Chris sent it immediately. Thanks again Chris. Ken and Susan L. read more

Bought my first home and Terry performed the home inspection. Terry has been extremely gracious with his time, taking me through his report page by page and answering every question I've had. He actually did all of this for me before I even owned the home outright which is just extremely generous and amazing in my opinion. I don't have any experience with home ownership so Terry guiding me through the process and letting me know which repairs to prioritize has been a godsend for me. I feel extremely fortunate that North Coast Inspection Service performed the inspection on my house, and lucky to know Terry. read more

Terry saved me a huge chunk of money and gave me a lot of ammunition during price negotiation on my home. He was punctual, affordable, and shockingly thorough. I would recommend him to anyone. read more

This was our 1st home inspection on the west coast and we learned so much from Terry and Mick, our home inspectors. They're extremely thorough and knowledgeable plus they graciously answered all the qs we had about potential future changes we may want to make. They helped us to understand what things to look out for and alleviate my concerns on any cosmetic findings. We greatly appreciate their expertise and insight and are so thankful Peg & Jeremy King recommend them! read more

Terry and Jordan once again went above and beyond this week showing their true professionalism, integrity, and honesty -- all things people look for in a home inspection. After inspecting a flipped home for about 20-30 minutes and finding over $20,000 worth of repair, they offered to stop the inspection with no cost to our buyer. They are the best and continue to prove they aren't here to nickel and dime you or waste your time! read more

Terry is a very qualified inspector. He and his son came over and did a thorough review of our home. His background as a contractor/builder of kitchens and baths, plumbing and electrical etc. meant he took such a detailed approach to inspecting our home. Highly recommend Terry for your inspection needs. I just wish he'd come and redo our kitchen for us too :) read more

Terry and his son were awesome at answering all our questions and pointing things out in our potential home. They were very patient with us. Unfortunately, they didn't point out the huge asbestos issue and neither HVAC guys who came to estimate felt comfortable going near anything! When we tried to get some money back for the inspection, Terry Replied "He used to work in the HVAC field and this requirement must be a new OSHA requirement as he has never heard of this and he advised that we should consult with another HVAC as OSHA mainly deals with employee safety issues and that is why as an employee of a HVAC Company they are not able to work with or around any asbestos" ummm, what? 1 Star did not getting a correct report. 5 stars for knowledge and answering all our questions. read more

I have only good things to say about North Coast Inspection Service. Terry is knowledgeable and thorough. The prompt turnaround from inspection to report is prompt. I call them for all my pre-listing inspections and recommend them to buyers for their inspections. read more

If you need a reliable home inspector look no further. Terry and team were prompt. I showed up at our appointment time to find him already up on the roof. They were through and did a full inspection of the roof, electrical, plumbing, attic, foundation etc. Based on North Coast and Terry's report they found some serious issues with the home I had just gone into contract for. I will continue to praise their services to anyone. Whether a home buyer or realtor you should contact them for honest and reliable service. read more

These guys are so good that I had to make them a listing so I could review them. We are a couple that is buying our first home and it is a fixer-upper... Terry and his team came out to do the home inspection and they were GREAT! Terry was happy to have us following him around the house and he explained EVERYTHING in clear English, without talking down to us at anytime. He didn't sugar coat anything and gave us his honest opinion on every little part of the house, good or bad. I won't go into the whole story but he went out of his way to accommodate us and spent extra time at the house to make sure he saw everything that needed to be seen. He was never in a rush to get out of there and answered all our questions fully and with absolute professionalism. These guys are great and very easy to work with. read more

We recently had our home inspection done on our new home we are purchasing and it was a breeze with Terry. He not only took the time to talk me through it but was super friendly and made sure if I had any questions that he answered them for me the best he could. I felt completely confident in his work and he even found a few things our pest guy didn't! Thank you so much Terry and North Coast Inspection Services! We now know and feel confident in what we are moving into! read more

I wish there's 0, i would give 0 for rating. Terry inspected my house purchased last year. Then I found out later the air vents(state requirement) for craw space were missing on my property but his report said nothing about it. He & realtor & me worked together to get vents installed a few month later. Now he is telling me the vents were there when he inspected the house. 2. There's sump pump installed at my back yard but in his report he didn't mention anything about sump pump. He told me that because the sump pump was working at the time of inspection and he didn't feel he needed to add to report 3. I also discovered problem with leaking windows and found out the window trim is not caulked. Of course, in Terry's report, he didn't mention anything about it. Be careful when you choose who to do your home inspection and make a very good choice! read more

We've owned a few homes and always had a home inspection. When it came to North Coast Inspection they stood out above the rest. They were early, Terry explained everything to us step by step. He didn't rush anything. He took the time to explain things that we didn't even know could improve our home. Terry and his company are so thorough and treat you like family, I'll never go anywhere else. I recommend them to everyone. It's really a no brainer, dial now. read more
