Home Inspections Northwest, Inc.

We have been impressed with Lee's professionalism and his care in exploring and identifying the source of a home integrity issue. We had some mold and rot on the base of our drywall and the end of some subfloor boards, and he took the time to rule out any possible causes. Lee also does an excellent job of explaining his thought process as he does the inspection. Please consider Lee for your home inspections.

As a realtor, I have had the privilege to work with Lee over the past 10 years as well as have him inspect the homes I have personally purchased. He has always been very thorough, he takes the time to explain the issues he discovers and help point the client in the right direction for items that need additional attention. He is always available for follow up questions and to discuss/reinspect the repairs that get completed. When I work with Lee I am confident there won't be any missed items my clients find after closing.

Lee did such an outstanding, detailed, thorough inspection and report it particularly impressed my sister who has a master’s degree in architecture. The report also helped me do a cost analysis of what I would need to invest in the fixer upper I was hoping to purchase and was vital to a successful fix and sell. Lee caught every possible flaw. I wouldn’t consider ever using any other home inspector.

Lee is a fantastic home inspector, very thorough and professional. He gave us the complete picture of the house we are looking into buying and laid it out for us in a way that was easy to understand. After speaking with him and looking through the report (with pictures!) we have a clear idea of the things that are safety issues that need to be addressed immediately, the things the could cause damage if not dealt with soon, and the things that are simply not correct but are lower on the list of priorities. We have used Lee to inspect three homes for us so far and are confident that if there is a potential issue, Lee will find it!

As a first time home buyer I soon realized what a monumental process I was about to begin after our offer was accepted. After walking through the home I knew that there needed to be some maintenance performed, but was unsure what that all encompassed. Fortunately we were referred to Home Inspections NW and scheduled a time to meet with Lee Sellick. The first thing that stood out to me about the level of professionalism that Lee maintains was when I arrived at the home and Lee had already begun looking over the home. He then took time to explain his process and asked my fiance if we had any concerns we wanted him to take a look at. While we weren't sure about anything specific Lee assured us he would be thorough. We waited on scene with Lee and two hours later he had finished. What was great was even during the inspection Lee would approach us and ask about additional tests that we may want to consider. He never worked a hard sell, but presented us with facts so that we could make an informed decision, since he understands that money would be tight and we didn't want to pay for anything frivolous. Lee took us for a walk-through and pointed out all the 'big things' that he had noticed. He patiently answered our questions, understanding that we were fairly ignorant about things like home repairs and structural issues. The entire conversation made me feel more equipped for moving forward in the home buying process, I never once felt dumb or talked down to even with all my questions. The written report arrived later that night. It was incredibly comprehensive and included pictures, concerns, explanations and an overall summary. We were shown what needed to be inspected by specific experts (ie soil and structural) and given references for trusted professionals. I appreciate that Lee is so detailed. I never once felt as if the sellers of the home might be able to sneak something by us and every issue with the house would be brought to light. I cannot stress how happy we are with Lee and the services he provides. A five star rating is not high enough and we will be sure to promote his services whenever and where ever we can. Thank you, Lee.

We have used Lee twice in the last three years. He inspected the home we were in the process of buying and found significant safety issues that had been over-looked in the history of previous transaction inspections. We recently had him inspect the home for an addition/remodel. In both cases, what we so appreciated was his thoroughness in pointing out things that are "acceptable" and done regularly in the building industry, but what are asking for trouble and expense down the road. He is professional, prompt, thorough, knowledgeable, and friendly. I would recommended his services to both buyers and sellers, but also to homeowners who should every few years make sure something hasn't changed and gone unnoticed, causing costly damage or putting your safety at risk.

Lee is amazing. He will give it to you straight. He is very friendly, approachable and extremely professional. Scheduling an appointment with him is quick and seamless through the website and turnaround time is usually less than 24 hours. After your inspection, you will receive an email prompting you to pay for the service and you can then immediately view and download your report. No worrying about bringing checks with you on the day of inspection. Lee is strictly a class act. We have used his services three times now and we wouldn't go with anyone else!
