We used Titan for two home inspections as we were house shopping, with two different inspectors…read more They both proved to be knowledgeable and incredibly thorough, catching things that were missed even on a home that had a pre inspection. The reports are exhaustive, and they provide lots of details on what's okay or not, and any action to be taken. No home is perfect, but we were able to purchase with a lot more confidence in what we were getting, which helps to take the stress down on a very very stressful time.

Sean did a great job inspecting our house and produced an exceptionally thorough report. He called…read moreout all kinds of issues that weren't covered in the report from the seller's inspector. He was happy to talk to us on the phone afterwards (for more than an hour, I believe) to clarify the seriousness of some issues, giving us the confidence we needed to buy the house as well as guidance on repairs we should consider in the future. Would definitely recommend Titan!

I think I'm still in shock over my experience with J…read more I could tell you about how this guy gave me an in-depth home inspection while I was out-of-state that made me feel like I was right there the whole time. 100% felt like that was some of the best money I've ever spent. I could tell you how he -- completely unsolicited --offered to walk through the report in person with me whenever I got into Washington for the home sale. But Y'ALL. Let me tell you instead how I called this guy nearly TWO YEARS AFTER THE INSPECTION in a panic during the last big freeze when an exterior hose bib failed. Why? Because a) the water company had come through and updated the water meter, changing the look of the main shut-off (rendering my limited experience with the valve totally useless), and b) no plumber would come out, since they were responding to 19,383,629 other freeze-related emergencies. I expected NOTHING from this guy at this point: it was the hailiest of Hail Mary's. Instead, I got a quick "I'm on my way" from him. WHAT?!? When he got there, found another shut-off, and kept me from going without water (and my house from floating away on its own plumbing-failure river), my shriveled little Grinchy heart DID grow three sizes that day! J is good people doing good work. I will never work with anyone else for home inspections.

This is the 2nd time I have used Jay with 4 Seasons Inspections. I had him inspect our home in…read moreAuburn about 5 years ago and this time for the house we bought in Renton. 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.

I hired Don Gardner because he was a general contractor who knows from the ground up what home…read moreconstruction entails. Washington State has adopted a standard protocol that home inspectors follow and Mr. Gardner addressed each of those to my expectations. In doing so he indicated areas I overlooked when viewing this home several times over. Not being aware of these nuances is why you hire a home inspector simply because a home's wear may not be fully factored into the closing price. Water damage is the nemesis of any home and probably the most pervasive. This inspection confirmed those suspicions however I underestimated the extent of the issue. I was able to follow him throughout the inspection process from the roof to the crawlspace. His assessments however verified what was also right with the house. That information provides a more balanced assessment of a property's worth and a basis for making an educated offer. Being informed can save years of buyers remorse and this inspection provided just that. Homes can be a maintenance hog so just knowing what your getting into is essential. Don put to bed a lot of that nagging uncertainty. After all, you ultimately are the one left responsible for what the seller leaves behind. Knowledge is your best bargaining partner and those tools were provided in his extensive assessment. I confidently recommend him and his command of service.

I had my home inspected by these guys based on all the positive reviews. The guy that conducted the…read moreinspection was very personable. However I didn't hire him to be my friend, I hired him to inspect my house. Most of the inspection was great, but some things were completely wrong or missing. The report states that the venting above the gas stove was working properly but there is no vent at all there, and that has been an ongoing issue in my house. The report also states that the water dispenser in the fridge was working normally but there is not even a water line connected to the refrigerator. I had read really good reviews about this business, so I had hoped for the same. Unfortunately it was a sub par inspection.

Very professional! He was very detailed in his report and…read morevery honest. Good integrity and I trust using these services. I recommend anyone whose a first time buyer to go with Boggs Inspections. He even took photos of every thing and was very detailed with including this in his report. He was nice, personable and made me feel comfortable through the entire process. Booking him was super easy and they even managed to squeeze me in last minute! I called on a Wednesday and BAM! Come Thursday he was inspecting :) The water wasn't hooked up and he is coming back free of charge to finish the inspection. Like I said if you need a reliable, trustworthy company to work with go with Boggs inspections. Especially if you are a first time buyer. Its vital to have someone you know thats going to thoroughly inspect your home.

TERRIBLE - missed major roof damage in home inspection - costing us about $40K. Part of roof was…read morerotted/spongy and the area below it/side of house below it had dry rot due to it. We were within the 100 day so-called warranty too. We found issue within 1 week of moving in. They offered us our inspection fee ~$500 back. Seriously, that is it. They suck. I would never use general inspection service again. Get a certified engineering inspection and specialized roofer. We are so unhappy. Seller also did not disclose leaks (lied). Real estate lawyers won't call us back even though we have receipts (found in house) of skylight repairs. Entire system screws new home owners over.

I found Sound Advice through an online search while looking for a qualified inspection on an older…read morehome I was considering buying--and I could NOT be happier with my choice. From start to finish, Suzanne was responsive, friendly, professional, and incredibly knowledgeable. If I could give 10 stars out of 5, I absolutely would. Her attention to detail and deep understanding of the unique challenges in older homes--both immediate issues and those that could arise 5-15 years down the road--helped me avoid taking on more than I could reasonably manage or afford. I especially valued the detailed report and illustrations showing not only what needed attention, but also how things should look. This made it easy to know what to ask for if I moved forward with contractors or service providers. Sound Advice also offers great value with two pricing options that can actually save you money in the long run. As long as they're in business in my area, they will always be my first and only choice for inspection services.

I requested Spencer to conduct an inspection within the 1-yr workmanship warrant period of a new…read moreconstruction home in Spanaway. Spencer was upfront about the extent of what he could inspect from the 2-10 warranty checklist, and both of us were happy with the overlap of the items inspected. Spencer completed the inspection as scheduled, looked into crawl spaces and took drone footage of the roof etc. and spoke on the phone with me promptly to go over the highlights. The report was in my inbox in the next hour after we spoke and I feel a peace of mind in filing the 18-20 items to get covered by the warranty. This is a new home folks, so highly recommend getting professional inspections before purchase, after purchase and I recommend working with Spencer!

Spencer was great! He was able to fit me in for an inspection the next day after I called 4 other…read moreinspectors. This was a pre-inspection so it was time sensitive. Spencer arrived on time and finished in about 2 hrs and 15 mins, right on schedule. He walked on the roof when he was unable to use the drone. He reassured me that my biggest concern of water in the crawl space was most likely due to a fixable gutter problem. He helped me realize that the house was not in bad shape which was really reassuring. I got the printed report shortly after and he did verbally review the major items with me at the end. I would recommend Spencer and if I needed another preinspection, I would not hesitate to call him.
