A certified home inspection will take 2-4 hours to  conduct, depending on the size and condition of the home, and how many questions our clients have (we love questions). For first time home buyers, our home inspections provide an excellent education on home  ownership and home maintenance. For the more experienced buyer, we’ll  focus more on major issues and general building science. We take digital  photos throughout the inspection and include them in our home inspection report, along with several helpful diagrams and illustrations. All of our home inspections include a pest and dry rot  analysis.  We also offer radon testing in Portland and surrounding  areas. Following the inspection, our reports are posted online and  available for download in Adobe Acrobat format.
