Trusted. Thorough. Reliable.

Our licensed home inspectors will walk through your home with you and teach you as much as you want to learn. Key Inspection Services is your source for licensed Washington home inspectors and consultants in Washington that provide professional home inspection services in Washington. Our home inspector members comply with a Standards Of Practice and the home inspector Code Of Ethics that ensures professional home inspection at all times.

With Key Inspection Services, our Home Inspection Services meet, and in many cases exceed, state and industry standards of Washington State Home Inspector Requirements, National Association of Certified Home Inspectors, and American Society of Home Inspectors.

After we walk through the home together, we explain the general condition of the home and systems with you and your agent.

We will talk through any major issues that need to be addresses sooner rather than later. We will also mention the items that you will want to keep an eye on for deferred maintenance.

All of this will be detailed in my easy-to-read Spectora report, that will be delivered in HTML and/or PDF format. From that report, you’ll be able to see the items we discussed, with images for reference.
