We used SGA inspections for our home inspection and were extremely happy with them. The company was responsive and easy to work with and there were no billing surprises. The team of inspectors they sent out were very thorough and professional. They saved us almost 15k in undisclosed issues, and we were really happy to see that they used camera scopes and thermal imaging during the inspection. We feel very confident moving into this home purchase thanks to their dedication to top-notch service. read more

Hands down the best people to work with! I've never seen a more detailed inspection report and it was super easy to navigate. I would highly recommend them for any home/property you need inspected, they go above and beyond! Best of the best is what you will always get from them! ​ read more

SGA Inspection Inc provided a thorough inspection that helped us navigate well informed buying negotiations. The inspectors are professional, prompt and exude a historical knowledge of property inspection that far exceeded our expectations. The report was well written and included photos of potential issues. SGA Inspection Inc provided additional inspections as well (plumbing scope) making the experience efficient and cost effective. Highly recommend - do not go anywhere else! read more

SGA Inspection - Home - Vocational & Technical School Near Me - Lacey, Washington

They were very reliable, informative and fast. They met our schedule and helped us make a proper decision for the circumstances. Trevor was very accessible for follow up questions and explanations. The price was reasonable and very fair to the market. Very professional! read more

I met Steve and Trevor through their two-week home inspection course. We picked them based on a referral from a current inspector who took their class and said they are the only class to choose. I heard some horror stories about other places just handing you a book and taking your money. So glad I went with SGA. Two wonderful guys to learn from, ask questions to, and hear stories and experiences. It is a lot of information very fast, but they present it in a way that you keep drilling it into your head. They are a perfect team of knowledge and experience and it was clear very early that they want us to succeed. They made it clear they are here to support even after the class. They walk you through every aspect of their inspections, so you see firsthand how good their inspections are. Give yourselves every opportunity. SGA is the school. read more

Repeat business is the true measure of a company's personnel, customer satisfaction policy, and quality of work. SGA Home Inspection has not only earned my 5 Star rating but also my business over and over. Looking for a quality and thorough home inspection, look no further than SGA. We not endorse them but I recommend Trevor and the team. read more

So I get a $350 home Inspection, done at SGA's convenience, because they cannot accommodate my schedule, they're too busy, etc. -- but on the day of the appointment they callously reschedule for an hour later, no reason given. Very selfish outfit. Then they do the Inspection, not telling me anything more than I already know about the house ... then, they cannot get all the way into the attic, waa waa ... and finally promise an e-report. Then they send me an email with a link and passwords to enter "on the lower right side of our web site, look below" - they claimed. No such window to log in! So I filed a complaint with them, and I have a formal complaint ready to be filed on Monday with the Attorney Generals office in Olympia, for consumer rights violations. I'll update the outcome as soon as they resolve this. Update : now I'm told I'm holding my phone wrong and that I should hold it sideways. I did that. Still no log in window ! So I called back for a pdf file to be emailed instead. I was told "5 minutes". Half an hour and counting ... ... ... Here's more : Why is it unjust when you refused to accommodate my night shift hours and meet me a little later? You knew I worked from 7pm till 6am, and I couldn't meet you at 10:00. Then you choose to change that to 11:00 because it suited you better, only after I went through major expenses. I had to fly my wife up here from Orange County, last minute, to please your schedule. Refund her airfare and I'll withdraw the Yelp! report, and (bonus!) withhold the complaint with the Attorney Generals' office tomorrow . Deal ? You email threads were barren and your website was falsely advertised as the portal to the e-copy. Further more you never disclosed to me that the report was electronic and defaulted to that method without my acceptance, or consent .... despite customary reports being provided in hard copy. That was done by you just to save you the cost of printing and mailing the report. That was deceptive. Now I'm pissed, I'm wasting time on your incompetence !!

I am a Real Estate Professional, and I recommend SGA Inspection Services to my clients for their inspection needs. Throughout multiple inspections, Steven and Trevor have always been professional, knowledgeable, and prompt with their services. They have traveled from Lacey, to Tacoma, to Kirkland for my clients! They give honest, straightforward assessments of homes, which my clients find very helpful during the purchasing process. Even after the inspections, they are available to answer our questions and provide further details about inspection findings. Thank You for being a company I can confidently recommend to my clients, and for helping so many families dreams come true! read more

CANCELLED ON US LAST MINUTE. UNPROFESSIONAL I called Trevor on Friday to schedule a home inspection on Monday at 1 PM. He said he knew the listing agent of the home very well. Since I live in California, I thought it was helpful that I he is someone who can contact the listing agent to open the door for him to inspect the house. We confirmed the date and time with Trevor on the phone, via test, and email. On Saturday he decided to email us back this: "You will have to find another inspector. I will not be inspecting the home in Rochester." "This is SGA inspection services, we will NOT be inspecting this home for you. Please find another inspector." No further explanation. I even texted him asking why I received these blunt and unprofessional emails even after I already confirmed everything with the agents and the client and Trevor himself. He never texted me back. Trevor, if you're reading this, I don't know what was wrong with you and I don't know what you expect from your client. But as a client, I did not expect that kind of "service" at all. You literally had one job... read more

AAA+ Inspectors! Also, if you want to get trained by the best, I highly recommend these guys! KO Inspection, LLC read more

Steve and Trevor were very knowledgeable and I would highly recommend taking the home inspection course from them. It was a great experience! Thanks - Matt W. read more

I recently attended and completed the SGA Home Inspector Training Course in Olympia, WA. I also completed 40 hours of field study with SGA. Within 1 week of completing the courses I passed the Washington State Home Inspector Exam and have since opened my own inspection services company. Thanks to Steve and Trevor for sharing their real world experiences along with the classroom study to make the program a well-balanced education, and a good time! read more

Two of them arrived 15 minutes late and then they spent less than 2 hrs. inspecting my large new house (could not believe it!) Questions discouraged. Feel mislead and that I had gotten a very superficial look see at this home and not a fair inspection. He would not give a partial refund even though there is no crawl space to go through. Looking back I would rather have taken a chance on no inspection at all rather than this. read more

I recently attended SGA's Home Inspector Training and was thoroughly impressed from start to finish. SGA's facility was comfortable and impressed by use of multimedia technology to present course material. Syllabus was in line with national home inspector standards and tailored to passing the WA state inspector test. They nicely balanced coursework and practical inspection content. I enjoyed the small class size that allowed for more than adequate personal attention. The instructors, Steve and Trevor, nicely complemented each other's strengths. I found Steve's wealth of knowledge and willingness to teach invaluable. Trevor, being relatively new to the industry, his experience and thoughts were always insightful and beneficial. I'm not sure if you could find another class where the instructors are as seasoned, caring about the success of their students and thoughtful about the quality of course they teach. I have no reservations about recommending SGA's course to any prospective student. Without attending this course I highly doubt I would have been as prepared to successfully pass the state exam let alone felt as confident to start my own inspecting business. If you are thinking about signing up for the course and would like a reference please do not hesitate to contact SGA for my contact information. read more

Absolutely wonderful! My husband and I are in the process of buying our first home and really needed a thorough, well explained inspection to help ease our minds through this process. I can honestly say Steve and Trevor exceeded our expectations! They were very kind, were on-site early, explained their findings very well and their extremely detailed report was tremendously helpful!! I will recommend them to all family and friends. Great team! Thank you! read more

Professional, friendly and prompt. They did a great job, were thorough and honest. I'd hire them again without any reservations.

These guys are the best. Comprehensive, informative and downright pleasant to spend the afternoon with. Fantastic illustrated report too. Highly recommended. read more

I'm a licensed home inspector in Oregon that recently completed SGA Inspection Service's two week long course in order to become an inspector in Washington state. I signed up for the course in order to simply satisfy the state's educational requirements, but was pleasantly surprised with the overall experience. I was able to leverage my previous experience as a home inspector with Steven and Treavor's coursework (as InterNACHI partners) and building experience in order to make me an even better inspector. In retrospect, I don't believe I would have had as positive of an experience with some of the other companies out there that currently offer home inspection courses for Washington state. read more

As a first time home buyer, my husband and I were unsure of what the process was like and what to look for in a home. Steven and Trevor were absolutely wonderful with us and quickly calmed any nerves that we had walking into this inspection. They walked the property with us explaining what they were doing and what they found during their inspection. They found a major problem with the foundation that was not noted in a previous inspection that we had obtained. They explained what could have caused this major issue and what corrective steps would be necessary to fix the issue. Because of their thorough inspection we opted out of the contract due to the extensive damage. We plan on using them for our next home inspection. We recommend them hands down to everyone. The level of professionalism, punctuality, extensive knowledge of homes, and their patience they have for answering an insane amount of questions is wonderful. Their prices are extremely reasonable, especially for the level of work that they do, and the turnaround time for getting our full color inspection report back was within 24 hrs. The report explained all the defaults and what the correct regulations should be. We want to say thank you to SGA Inspection Services for a wonderful and pleasant experience!!! read more
