"Very kind man and seem to be thorough; Upon moving in found some serious code violations. I contacted the company he fixed one of the problems he came out and fixed one of the problems for at his cost, no cost to me, I asked about the more serious code violation and he has not called me back. I would not use KK consultants again."

As an inspector with more than 4500 completed inspections, I run my business with one goal in mind - to perform the most thorough inspection I can so that you don't face unwelcome surprises. In addition to my home inspection experience, I am a former Chairman of the State Home Inspector Advisory Board which developed the Standards of Practice for Washington State. I am also a former member of the Washington State Building Code Council and wrote a short book for home sellers titled Surviving the Home Inspection. The inspection will include all the elements of the Washington State SoP. From top to bottom, I will inspect your home. If safe, I will walk the roof, crawl the crawlspace, and remove covers for electrical panels. Reports are completed on the same day and include digital pictures and video. Your comfort and safety in your home is my utmost priority.
"It seemed to go OK - he was on time and friendly. But, after the inspection we discovered that a number of issues had been overlooked or poorly evaluated. Through a series of unexpected circumstances, we've moved 4 times in the past 6 years - yuck! That, combined with the fact that we've owned about 10 houses over the years (including 2 ranches) has given us a lot of exposure to inspectors. This inspector just missed too many things & didn't pay attention to details. For example, the shop had an attic that was accessed by a drop down ladder. The inspector had noted that the roof was in poor shape, but he failed to climb the ladder to see if it had been leaking. He stated that "access to ladder was obstructed and he could not access the attic." But the realtor and I both had no trouble in dropping the ladder and crawling up for a look. There was no blockage AT ALL! Unfortunately, we didn't have a flashlight, so we couldn't see much. In my opinion, he just got lazy or in a hurry. His failure ultimately will cost us over $10,000 - the shop roof was leaking and now needs a full replacement. Had he simply taken the time to check this out - especially since he'd already noted the roof was in poor condition (which should have been a red-flag causing him to investigate further) we could have required to seller to address the issue - but he just blew it off and by the time I could look again (we lived three hours from home in question), and take a flashlight, the inspection period had passed. Access was unhampered, he just chose not to do his job and justified it by saying access was blocked. He failed in a number of other ways too (like a failure to conduct or even suggest radon testing). Very disappointed. If you want a quick, "once over lightly" inspection, he's your guy. If you need a detailed assessment of a property you're planning to buy, I would not recommend him - period!"

Asbestos testing services FAQs
Asbestos appears as long, thin, or curled mineral fibers that are not visible to the naked eye under normal conditions. Homes constructed before 1989 are more likely to contain this material, so a professional inspection is essential. Because asbestos identification requires specialized techniques, having a certified inspector assess your property is the safest way to confirm its presence and protect your family’s health.
Free asbestos testing services do not exist. You can purchase testing kits online for $30 per unit, and these kits include lab fees, return shipping, consultation, sampling media, and the final results. The results from a kit are less detailed and accurate than those provided by a certified asbestos testing professional. Since collecting a sample exposes you to harmful fibers, hiring a professional is essential to ensure safety and accurate testing.
Receiving asbestos test results takes one to seven days, but different labs offer varying turnaround times. When expedited processing is arranged, the laboratory completes analysis within 24 hours; standard processing requires up to two weeks. Hiring a certified professional ensures that all samples are collected correctly and results are provided without delay, safeguarding your home throughout the process.
Home insurance doesn't often cover asbestos testing and removal. Many policies have a clause called a "pollution exclusion," which means they do not cover indoor pollutants like asbestos. However, your insurance company might cover something like asbestos siding removal costs if it is released due to things beyond your control, such as storm damage.
If a DIY project or accident in your home releases harmful fibers, you must pay for the test and removal.
Yes, you can legally inspect and remove asbestos in your house as long as it's a single-family home and not a multi-family unit. However, the EPA strongly recommends hiring an asbestos abatement pro since testing can be dangerous.
Pros have all the right tools and safety equipment, and you risk breathing in the fibers by taking samples yourself. They also know how to collect samples and safely dispose of materials properly.
Asbestos encapsulation is a process that seals asbestos-containing materials with a protective barrier to prevent the release of harmful fibers. It serves as an alternative to complete removal when full abatement is not necessary. Encapsulation costs between $2 and $6 per square foot, offering a cost-effective option that contains asbestos safely when applied by a certified professional.
