In the past 5 years, I have hired Home Inspections Northwest to inspect three different homes. I have been thrilled with the quality of service Lee provides. He is very knowledgeable and detail oriented about his inspections and I have come to depend on his judgment for major repair purchases as well. It's a comfort to know I can count on Lee not only to do a great job with the initial inspection, but also to be available if I have any questions...
