We called Key Inspection Services for an offer acceptance inspection. Scheduled online and they were prompt and responsive. Justin came early and thoroughly checked everything. He even provided a quick verbal summary and explanation at the end for high priority items. Report also came promptly the next day. Gave us peace of mind with our purchase.

After college, while working as a handyman for several years Gordon became close with a home inspector where he saw that his natural curiosity and handyman skills would be very valuable.

Gordon Papik
- Over 800 Inspections
- InterNACHI Member
We had a great experience with Gordon. His inspection was informative, he worked quickly and answered questions along the way, provided progress updates as he went which areas were done and what was up next for him while he worked, and felt like he has our interests at heart. After he was done he walked through all his notes and gave historical information on building materials used at the property and likely issues we may see down the road. He was very obviously knowledgeable in construction methods and materials even knowing of recalls on siding. We would use his service again.

My client used Key Inspection Services this week and it was a really great experience. The inspector was great at communicating with my buyer different details of the home and was answering many questions. The report is very easy to read and gave all the pertinent information we needed. Thank you!

Jose Rendon


Jose worked in construction for several years, starting as a laborer and then becoming a journey-level carpenter. After that, he transitioned into the role of inspector, which he has been doing for about 1.5 years.
He became an inspector to enhance his knowledge in the real estate industry and to fulfill his parents’ dream of owning a home, which was challenging due to the language barrier they faced.
As an inspector, he now has the opportunity to assist people like his parents and anyone who dreams of owning a home. When he’s not inspecting, he enjoys spending time with his wife and papillon-mix dog, and watching movies with family and friends.
You’ll often find him going on hikes, indulging in good food, and visiting his parents in Tacoma.
