Spring 2019 we hired our same home inspection company from when we purchased 10 years prior to do a…read morepre-list inspection. We addressed the couple items on the report and listed our home with confidence. Received an offer the first weekend and went into inspection. The buyers' inspector found mold in our attic; mold that our pre-list inspection did not find. Sure enough there was mold. Nick was the buyers' inspector who found it. With our home sale in jeopardy we quickly addressed the matter and thankfully closed. When I asked the other company why they didn't find the mold that had built up over the course of years, their reply was they weren't required to walk in the attic; they met state requirements and Nick exceeded the requirements. We received a refund from them. When it came to needing an inspection for our home we were in the process of purchasing, of course we contacted Nick. He was the one who found the mold our previous inspector failed to and we wanted someone who would exceed requirements. We also hired him to do another inspection right before our 1 year warranty expired. We'll be hiring him for any future needs and highly recommend him to everyone.

He does a very complete inspection. He emailed me the report the same day. It is very useful since I know what projects to work on first. He is an expert. He answered my questions with ease and I will continue to use him for future homes I buy. The $595 fee was very fair. He spent over 4 hours at my house yesterday and i feel so relieved that I know the condition of my house. His work is exceptional.

When we arrived at the house, the seller didn't have the power or heat on, so Jay recommended we reschedule so he could do a thorough inspection. Once all the power and heat was turned on, Jay went above and beyond going through all the parts of the house. He pointed out everything they needed to repaired and gave rough estimates and referrals throughout the house. The thing that really stood out though was that Jay was straightforward and honest in his assessment. I work on a lot of houses, so all the figures he gave for estimates were pretty much in line with what I would expect. Not too high, like he was selling me on a repair I didn't need. But also not underselling the cost of what needed to get done. To me, there's nothing more valuable then getting accurate information. Don't try and overinflate or udnerflate what costs will be. Just say it like it is and let me decide how to proceed. I will absolutely be using 4 Seasons for future Home Inspection work and I highly recommend them to anyone who needs a home assessed.

Jim and Merle are tremendously great at their jobs --- you would want them to be your inspector…read morewhether you're trying to sell your home or before buying your new one. We used them in our recent sale and subsequent purchase. The value that they provide is beyond expectations. An example of this was when a potential buyer already set up a preinspection on the sale of our home. Upon reading Jim's inspection report, the potential buyer immediately cancelled their own inspection, saying, in their words, that Jim's inspection report was very thorough and is more than adequate for them. Not only did it save everybody the time and effort (and stress!) of having multiple inspections, but it also translated in real $$$ savings for all parties involved. No wonder they are the BEST in the greater Seattle area!

Can't say enough positive things about our experience with Jim and Merlita. They were recommended…read moreby our real estate agent and I can honestly say using them was the best decision we made throughout our buying process. From the beginning, they were flexible on scheduling and did their best to work around our ever-changing timeline that evolved as we negotiated with our builder. Communication was prompt and direct. Jim and Merlita were respectful of our new (very clean) space and took steps to be sure they made as little impact as possible. And they summarize all their findings in a detailed report, complete with photos, descriptions and simple / easy to understand 'what this means' findings. Even after the inspection, they followed up quickly which was unexpected but welcome. Our home is new construction which sounds simple but they caught several unfinished / poorly finished details that would have cost us thousands down the line including a misaligned truss that could have had pretty big structural implications. Thanks to them, the builder went back and finished or fixed 5-6 items before we closed. They also made several recommendations for preventative maintenance that would save us money in the long run and would help our home age better. I trust Jim and Merlita and whole heartedly recommend their services. When I'm looking for a home inspector in the future, they'll be my first call.

He missed electrical tape covering a very corroded drain stack. His picture of the drain stack conveniently didn't include the corroded part. He said no issues with the chimney although there a multiple issues, (with both chimneys in my house) including a completely rotten support beam in the crawl space, failing mortar, and significant damage to the furnace chimney. Although he is not a mason he should have been able to recognize these signs of failure...and if he has no ability to recognize if their are issues with a chimney he should not say in his report "no issues with the chimney" Then some more minor things...sinks not secured to the walls...leaking drain under the kitchen sink. Those things aren't a huge deal but definitely speaks to lack of attention to detail. Everyday I hold my breath thinking about what other major issue that is If you are a seller looking for a pre inspection that doesn't point out some major problems then this is your guy. But if you are buying don't trust his report.

We hired Chris Honingford to conduct an inspection for the condo we were buying. Upon moving into…read morethe condo, we learned that the toilet was not secured the the floor. The bolts were completely stripped because the flange had been broken. There is no way Chris should have missed this. He claims he checked the toilet to see if it wobbled, but he obviously didn't. If he had, he would have discovered it was completely loose from the floor. We also learned the day we moved in that the 3-month-old water heater was leaking. That had be replaced as well. The bathroom faucet was also leaking and had to be replaced. Normally, I'd give Chris the benefit of the doubt and assume the water heater and faucet weren't leaking when he inspected it, but considering he missed something so obvious as the toilet, I'm not so sure. Our realtor (who recommended Chris) reached out to him about this, and he offered no recompense whatsoever. We had to buy a new toilet and have it installed. This was incredibly expensive. These problems were annoying and expensive to fix, but at least they weren't life threatening. Next time he might miss something more serious, like a gas leak. I'd recommend going elsewhere for your inspections. The fact he had no desire to make any effort to try to make this right should also give you pause. UPDATE: After Chris's complete unwillingness to do anything to make this situation right, I filed a complaint to the Attorney General's office, in the hopes of saving other people from a situation like this. Chris's response to the AG was to claim the plumber we hired was "inventing work". He doubled down on his claim that he checked the toilet, even though our realtor shared video we took with him showing how loose the toilet was. Anyone can make a mistake; that's forgivable. But you own up to it and do what you can to make it right. Lying about it and trying to pass the blame to other innocent parties is inexcusable.

For how stressful the home-buying process is, especially around the Bellevue area, the inspection process was a huge sigh of relief. Soon after the inspection was scheduled, I received an e-mail from Omie confirming the time, day and location of the inspection and how it all works, saying it takes about an hour or so to inspect and that if we didn't want to be there for the entire duration, it was advised to come 15 minutes prior to when it would be finished. When Omie was done inspecting everything, he walked through the entire space with us, indicating anything troubling or what to be mindful of. He even suggested items that could be easily replaced with a DIY video and offered his two cents on what he would do. Since I am not someone who has done any home renovations, I asked him to clarify some repair items, and he did so without hesitation, without making me feel like I was incompetent. I appreciated that. I highly recommend using Pacific Home Inspections for a thorough, easy process in the Seattle area. Glad to have this hurdle of the home-buying process done, with a huge thanks to Omie for his quick response to scheduling an inspection, his thoroughness and friendliness.
