Top Notch Home Inspection

Kevin from Top Notch recently completed an Energy Inspection - a new requirement of the City of Portland when selling a home. He arrived ahead of the appointment time and performed a very thorough assessment inside, outside, above and below our house. Kevin was professional, took time to answer questions and completed the inspection in a timely manner. After completing the inspection, the final report and energy score was delivered to our realtor within a few hours on a Friday evening. This was much appreciated as it allowed us to schedule an open house the same weekend. We highly recommend Top Notch Home Inspection and will contact them when we find our next house.

Everything about Top Notch Home Inspection is professional and exceptional! Friendly, helpful staff. Our inspection was thorough and well written. The report was easy to read and covered every important aspect of the home. I was able to call the owner of this business and get a full explanation of each statement. Very considerate of my concerns. I highly recommend Top Notch for any inspection needs. Outstanding service! Rodger and Cindy Hansford

Top Notch did the inspection on the house we sold and the house we bought. Both were very thorough and they were able to do both quickly to meet our time lines. Communication was excellent. Owner Jeff answered all my calls and made sure we knew exactly the time of the inspections, so we could be there without waiting around. Kevin was the inspector and was very excellent. He was open to all of our questions and concerns, as we followed him around the house. He had our thorough report to us within a couple of hours. There was snow on the roof on inspection day, so Jeff came back a couple of days later to inspect the roof himself with no extra charge. The inspector of the sewer line and radon test also did a great job of explaining what he saw. All in all this is an efficient, communicative, friendly and reasonably priced home inspection business.

Kevin recently inspected a house my wife and I are buying in East Portland. He was extremely thorough. He noted every single issue with the house from roof to foundation. It was like Sherlock Holmes was investigating a ranch house, discerning whether or not water had ever leaked into the crawlspace (it had) and if air was properly flowing through the attic (it was not). When he was done he discussed his notes with us, answered our questions and offered advice. Then he left, prepared the report and emailed it to us the same evening. I usually don't feel like I underpaid for a service but Kevin's work is worth more than we paid. He definitely earns all the stars. I'm glad we opted for a sewer scope and radon test as well-- the peace of mind is worth the price. My wife and I were very stressed and unsure about this whole house-buying business but learning about the house's imperfections has (paradoxically) been a great relief.

I am a first time home buyer and I’m learning the process along the way. It can be stressful at times, but I got a great recommendation from my realtor and I don’t regret calling! I called late at night and was able to schedule an inspection within a few days. Kevin was great to work with. He’s professional and thorough. He was on time and friendly to my realtor. He stuck to his word and had his inspection report that day. He personally called me right after the inspection and was straight up with me, which I appreciate. He explained everything in great detail and explained complications with the inspection. I would highly recommend top notch and would use them again!
