What is a home inspection? A home inspection is an objective visual examination of the physical structure and systems of a house, from the roof to the foundation. I googled this question to get this answer, and that's exactly what Scott did when he inspected our potential new family home yesterday. He walked around the whole building of the condo and found several things that will need the HOA repair and several recommendations with items inside the condo like the life of the water heater, seismic straps, drain pans, and a broken tub faucet handle. He answered all my questions and was patient with a few of my concerns. I even called him hours after the inspection to get more clarification about the water heater. He made his recommendation that I later relayed to our real estate agent. Thanks, Scott, for the inspection. We have taken to heart all your advice and have acted upon them. read more

I emailed Scott requested an inspection and received a reply faster than anyone else. He was on time and explained everything very well so I could understand. Price was fair for the size and time. Highly recommend. Received inspection report very quickly. read more

We used Scott at Skyline Home Inspection for our home purchase in Bellevue, WA and were exceptionally pleased with his services. He was very thorough with his inspection review & report and more importantly patient in answering our many questions. We weren't in a position to do the walk through with Scott so he went the extra mile of conferencing us in on FaceTime video conference to intricately guide us through this important process. We also found that his pricing was very reasonable against inspectors that we have used in the past. It brings me great pleasure to recommend Scott as you truly can't go wrong with his services! read more

We used Skyline Home Inspection for a property inspection on our first property we purchased as home owners. My husband and I were very satisfied with this service! He was very prompt, efficient and thorough which gave us even more confidence in our decision to buy this property. Thank you again, Scott at Skyline Home Inspection! read more

Highly recommend Scott from Skyline Home Inspection! He's professional and very knowledgeable. His reports are thorough, high quality, and full of photos. I would definitely hire him for another inspection. read more

I requested an inspection for a new construction. Scott Davis was the inspector assigned by Skyline. He performed a tremendous job all the way - going above and beyond the points that an inspector would usually cover. He made sure to utilize the full time allocated for the inspection, shared some great tips around safety and maintenance as well. Some of his suggestions were also praised by the site supervisor. I highly recommend Skyline Home Inspection, especially Scott Davis. read more

We had a condo inspection with Scott a few weeks ago and could not be happier. He was very friendly, professional, and thorough with his job, educating us about what we can and we can't do to the condo. His pricing is excellent, not to mention he generously provided us with a pest inspection (on a separate occasion at the same condo) due to the Lender's mistake. Overall we would use Scott again in a heartbeat and would highly recommend him to our friends and family. Thank you, Scott! read more

Working with Scott on the home inspection has been the easiest part of the home buying process yet! He was available to complete the inspection within one day of contacting him and very flexible when coordinating access to the house with the seller. His inspection report was provided next day and included very detailed information with photos reporting on all areas of the home, inside and out. I would wholeheartedly recommend Scott to anyone looking for a thorough house inspection. Scott is a complete professional who was very easy to work with. read more

Scott has been a lifesaver on numerous occasions. In our current sellers market, when representing buyers; having the home inspected prior to making the offer, is often the different between getting the home, or losing your dream home to someone who has already approved the inspection, and doesn't have an inspection contingency. Scott knows homes, and is able to present the information in a calm clear manner. He takes GREAT photos, and is very helpful. Many of my clients got into their homes, in large part because of Scott's willingness to work with our schedule, and get us on his schedule right away. Even when we weren't in a rush, a lot of goodwill was generated by being able to get the inspector out right away. I couldn't recommend Scott more. read more

Thank you Scott for taking great care of us for our house inspection! Scott was very detailed with the home inspection for the house we were purchasing. No stone was left unturned and as a result the seller fixed every major problem. We can rest easy knowing our house is in great condition now. Will definitely be doing business with Scott again in the future! read more

Beware, he will have you sign papers that you think are to get him to do the job, but they are really a long mumbo jumbo about how he's not responsible for damages that arise from him missing the obvious stuff you pay an inspector to catch! Scott completely missed what multiple roofers are calling extremely obvious issues with my roof. I called him up to show him and he was apologetic and professional, stating that his insurer would take care of it or he would from his own pocket. Funny thing is, his claim adjuster won't even discuss it with me, so much as take a look. He is very bullish and will only tell me to sign a release of liability so I can't sue! I asked for his supervisor's info and he gave me a number that no one picks up! Scott seems to have decided that if they don't pay, he won't either, even though he was clear that he would, even in writing! I have contacted him to tell him that I can be patient with getting the funds and I'm prepared to pay out of pocket too, because my daughter has been having breathing problems and I'm afraid it's from mold now due to the damage. I'm selling my vehicle to afford this for her sake. He only replied that he's basically washing his hands of this. If you can't trust a guy or his claims adjuster and they will not share the insurance info with you, what do you do to contact the insurance company directly? ! read more

Fabulous. Scott was very thorough and encouraged us to walk with him through our home inspection. He explained things, gave great recommendations, arrived early, and was very nice, professional, and polite! Our real estate agent recommended him and organized the inspection which is why I am assuming there aren't more reviews. read more

Scott was thorough, efficient and just an all around nice person. His report was easy to read and understand. I would recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy home inspector. read more

We were impressed initially when he inspected the house because he acted like he was thorough but it was quite quick for a 3 thousand plus SQF house. Fast forward to a month after, it was then we found out that he missed it in his inspection. Our AC didn't work so we called an HVAC and we were told that we had faulty ductwork that was not installed properly and was not match the appropriate ac unit we have. We contacted Scott and his initial response was that call the builder for warranty, we told him that it's a 4 year old house and not a brand new house then he change his reasoning that he didn't check the AC because it wasn't the appropriate temp to turn on the AC (he explained that to us during the inspection) so there's no way to know if it was faulty but that was not the reason why AC is not working properly, per multiple HVAC specialist AC is perfectly fine, it's the ductworks that is too small that's why AC freezes and builds up ice. HVAC people even told us that there's no way a person who works as an inspector would miss that since it is very noticeable and very basic!! Instead of finding this kind of stuff during the inspection and might have negotiated during the closing, now we need to spend almost 7k to fix the ductworks! If he misses the most basic stuff then it's up to you guys if you would still want to hire him! He didn't even give any options when we contacted him about this.. read more

Scott is really good to work with. Was on time, put in a lot of effort into not only inspecting the house but also explaining the inspection to us. Didnt just forward us a report. Sat down and worked through all issues - also clearly explained what is critical and what can wait a little. I had a question after we bought the house and a month after the inspection, and he replied promptly. Rare to find traders that are knowledgeable and fairly price. read more

Scott was thorough with the inspection and gave a detailed report.

My wife and I are purchasing our first home. After sending out multiple emails to different inspectors, Scotts' reponse was the most informative and included a sample report for me to see. When Scott did our inspection, (on a Sunday!) He had all ready done a thorough roof and exterior portion before we had even shown up which was right on time. He caught, and documented even the most minor but important flaws in the home. I will absolutely recomend Skyline Home Inspections to everybody I can. Thanks again Scott for the great experience amidst a stressful home buying process. read more

Scott Davis did an excellent job of inspecting our house before purchase. He did a meticulous walkthrough, inside and outside (including the crawl space), identifying a punch list of important items for the builder to address. Despite the home being a new construction, Scott identified some critical things that were important to address before the closing. He also took the time to explain everything in careful detail and addressed every single one of our questions and points. Scott was also able to move incredibly quickly, turning around the report within 36 hours of our first contact with him to ensure that we were able to hit our home inspection window. We would highly recommend him for any home inspection services needed. read more

We hired Scott to do our home inspection. It was our most disappointing experience. It felt like Scott did not have our best interest and not only he was missing a lot of important things that were cause of concern but he was brushing things off. His report was very poor and inconsistent. We do not recommend Scott. We wasted our money by paying his inspection. DO NOT hire Scott or you will be disappointed!!! read more

My wife and I are buying our first home. We were able to schedule with Scott quickly, he was thorough, professional and friendly. He took the time to go through his findings and explain our options. We received his report in a timely manner which included photos and recommendations. We would highly encourage anyone looking for a home inspection to use his services. read more

Find someone else. We were happy with Scott when he initially did the inspection about a year ago, believing him to be very thorough. We moved forward with our home purchase and since then have continued to find issue after issue that he missed. He downplayed a rodent issue in our crawlspace, saying it was minimal and likely not even current. Our pest company has caught nearly 30 rats in our crawlspace over the past year and our insulation was destroyed. He claimed that he did a complete check of the crawlspace as well but seemed to have missed that our heating line was full of water, meaning we didn't get heat in part of our house. We had pipes break and it would have been great to know we had CPVC pipes going in - while they're no longer used due to their issues, he didn't feel the need to call this out. He didn't notice our sink isn't even bolted to the wall but did make sure we knew we should cut our blind cords because they were too long. Scott did come back to check on things he missed, which was appreciated, but became increasingly combative throughout conversations and his message was sorry, I can't catch everything. I understand that's the case but he should have at least caught some of the issues. Do yourself a favor and find someone else. read more

Scott did a very good job and was a huge help through my first home buying experience. My wife and I called him for every home we looked at until we found one my biggest concern was the roof. He said a second opinion wouldn't hurt, so I called a roofing company, both reports turned out the same. He also crawled under the house, checking everything, and taking lots of pictures. I definitely recommend Skyline Home inspection. 425 256 0363 read more

Scott provided exceptional service in his inspection -- he was prompt and professional. He carefully went over just about every inch of the property, including three structures and the fence-line (1/3 acre). He took dozens of photographs, and he showed them to us and gave us verbal results in a post-inspection discussion immediately. He produced a professional and thorough report (31 pages) later the same day. My husband was with him every step of the way, and they discussed each item as they went along, so there were no surprises when we received the report. In addition to calling out a few problem areas, the report gave recommendations for items that were not defects, but more of best practices, as well as ongoing maintenance recommendations for various items. We have purchased other homes and properties, and the quality of his inspection was higher than most we have received. I think his report would be particularly helpful for a first time buyer who would find the 'extras' really useful. Thank you, Scott. read more

There were not many reviews for this inspector so I was a little hesitant to use him. That said, he was very thorough and professional. He patiently explained answers to my questions. Initially I wondered if we needed any inspection for our house since it was new construction. However, I am so glad we had the inspection done since he found some things that needed to be fixed. He provided a detailed report and pictures. I definitely recommend him. read more

I do not recommend using this inspector. He has poor attention to important details and does not take care of his customers. He missed some very obvious details about specific things we asked about. We asked him multiple times about the condition of the roof for a house that we made an offer on as we did not want to pay an extra $15,000 shortly after buying a house. After about the 3rd or 4th time, he finally got back to us and said that it is in good condition for its age and should last us at least 10 years. A month after the inspection, we moved in and discovered that there were two different leaks in our roof. After having 5 roofers come out to inspect it, all of them were in agreement that the roof was terribly installed and that the whole thing should be replaced because it is not the shingles that were in poor condition. It was the planks underneath the shingles that were causing the problems and the roofers were all boggled as to how this inspector could have missed such obvious signs in the attic. After talking with Scott (the owner) about this issue, rather than admitting his incorrect diagnosis, he went on to say that the roof was in good condition when he did the inspection, then magically over a matter of weeks, the condition became very poor due to the wind, rain and snow. All the roofers agreed that this is not possible for this to happen so quickly, regardless of the weather conditions. Scott's suggestion for this problem was for us to pay for a patch job even though the entire roof was terrible condition and other leaks could easily begin at any moment. He ended everything by continuing to be in denial and ignoring my emails. On our inspection report, he also said that our water heater is electric, when it very clearly says on the side of it "Gas water heater." Save yourself the potential nightmare that we are going through and go with someone else. read more
