"RW West provided an unbiased inspection of recent work done on the roof and foundation. He even inspected our cramped crawl space, which the inspector we used for our purchase was unwilling to do. A significant error was identified that the contractor has agreed to fix."  — Elizabeth Nenque Noonan · Verified Google Review

Our Home Inspection Services

Since 1986, our WA-licensed, InterNACHI-certified home inspectors have helped thousands of Puget Sound buyers, sellers, and homeowners understand how their property is built and what needs attention.

Pre-Purchase Inspection

A comprehensive, roof-to-crawlspace evaluation of every accessible structural, exterior, electrical, plumbing, and heating system. We walk you through major findings on site and deliver a clear, prioritized report so you can negotiate with confidence.

Pre-Listing Inspection

Follows the exact same thorough, top-to-bottom inspection protocol as our buyer inspection—giving sellers a complete picture of the home's condition up front to prevent last-minute buyer renegotiations and closing delays.

New Construction

A complete, detailed inspection of every structural, mechanical, and interior system before your final builder walkthrough—catching missed roof flashing, grading issues, or uncalibrated HVAC in brand-new construction.

Multi-Unit Inspection

Thorough, full-building evaluations for duplexes, triplexes, fourplexes, and small multifamily properties—inspecting shared roofs, structural framing, exterior envelopes, mechanical systems, and individual unit interiors.

1-Year Builder Warranty

Uses our full-scope, detailed residential inspection checklist in month 10 or 11 to evaluate your roof, structure, crawlspace, plumbing, electrical, and HVAC—so you can submit a complete punch list before your 12-month builder warranty expires.

Major Systems Inspection

A targeted evaluation focused strictly on the high-cost systems—Roof, Structure, Electrical, Plumbing, and HVAC—designed for investors or buyers who only want to screen for major capital expenses.

Specialty Add-On Services

Add any of these specialized evaluations to your home inspection—or book them as a standalone visit.

Mold Inspection & Testing

When you see suspect growth, smell mustiness, or have a history of water intrusion, we inspect for moisture sources and collect air or surface samples for unbiased, independent lab analysis.

Infrared thermography reveals temperature differences behind walls and ceilings—pinpointing active water leaks, missing insulation, and overheating electrical circuits without opening walls.

We run a high-definition camera through the side sewer line from the house to the street main or septic connection—spotting root intrusion, bellies, cracks, or aging pipe materials before closing.
