Get to Know Rick Marsh

Welcome to Inspection Services Northwest. We are an inspection company that specializes in residential, condominium, and multi-family unit inspections.  In today's market place, buyers need to be more informed concerning all aspects of purchasing a home, after all a home is the largest single purchase their family will make. It is imperative today's buyers have the information they need to make an informed decision about their real estate acquisition.   A quality professional home inspection can provide the essential information for the buyer to make an intelligent, informed decision. We provide a thorough quality inspection, using digital photos to show problematic areas, defects, non-functioning components, mold, termites, and items of interest that are not necessarily obvious. Along with the photos, we indicate the severity of the problem and a short narrative explaining the condition. The reports are generated the same day and can be emailed, printed, or saved to CD for your convenience.

Our home inspections are visual and are not technically exhaustive, destructive, or invasive. The scope of the report consists of the following areas:

            ♦  Grounds
            ♦  Cooling System
            ♦  Foundation/Crawlspace
            ♦  Electrical System
            ♦  Exterior
            ♦  Interior
            ♦  Roof
            ♦  Kitchen & Laundry
            ♦  Plumbing System
            ♦  Attic
            ♦Heating System

We also do a structural pest inspection which includes mold,  termites, and conducive conditions for wood destroying organisms.  The company is certified to perform EIFS (synthetic stucco) inspections.  EIFS inspections are separate from normal home inspections.  Depending on the amount of EIFS, the inspection can take from ½ day to several days.

Our typical home inspection takes about 2 hours, (both owner/inspectors normally work together) to complete. We always encourage our clients to be at the inspection in order to express areas of concern and receive information about the house, such as where the shutoffs are for water, gas, etc. We also like to have a post-inspection conference to review findings and answer any questions.

Inspection Services Northwest serves Southwest Washington and North/Northeast Portland metropolitan area. We schedule inspections Monday thru Saturday.
