Tom was absolutely professional, as well as being extremely thorough. He did the inspection for the buyers of our house, and we were so perturbed by his eye for every little detail we hired him to inspect the house we were buying! We are completely happy with our decision to use Tom.

His business card says it all – "Quality is never an accident. It's the result of high intention, sincere effort, intelligent direction & skillful execution. It represents the wise choice of many alternatives."

Tom was great! Quick to respond to my request for an inspection asap! He was able to accommodate. He provided a complete and thorough inspections with pictures and explanation of areas of the home that needed priority attention as well as other no so crucial fixes so we knew what to ask for in a repair addendum. Appreciate his kind and friendly manner which is needed during this anxious time of a home purchase.

Exceeded my expectations. Meticulous, credible, knowledgeable, personable, helpful, – – all the things you want in a service provider but rarely get.

Tom was extremely thorough and in-depth. His inspection and detailed report really gave us peace of mind when making a big home decision. It let us know what we were getting into and immediately gave us a great level of knowledge. Worth every penny!

When my wife and I asked for the best home inspector in Portland we definitely got it with Tom! He was thorough, answered all of our questions and was happy to explain the findings of his inspection. His inspection summary was also quickly available the same day as his work! We suggest anyone who's looking for a well known, highly respected home inspector to work with Tom.

Tom was extremely thorough, and provided us with a detailed report that was very easy to navigate and understand with excellent photographs that documented each point in the report. We were very happy with the inspection that Tom performed on our new home, and we would certainly recommend him to all of our friends and acquaintances.

Tom was extremely patient and detailed about the condition of our potential purchase.
I had many questions, and he framed his answers in lay mans terms.
The home is fairly old with a lot of funny quirks, that go along with that vintage.
Tom had a great deal of knowledge about older homes.

I would highly recommended Tom for your inspection.

Worth every penny! This is the second homeTom has inspected for us. The first one we bought, and the second one we did not. Both decisions were based on the information we got in the inspection report. If you want to know the truth about the home you are getting inspected, Tom is the person with the knowledge and experience to give you the full picture. On top of that he was kind and respectful, professional and thorough. His knowledge in this field and the ability to communicate that knowledge in understandable terms is outstanding. The pictures in the report allow you to actually see what he is talking about making his explanations all the more clear. Thank you Tom, for answering every question. There is no other inspector we would call.

Tom was amazing!! He was incredibly thorough and took the time to explain his findings in great detail to us. We will use him for every home inspection in the future. Highly recommend!

As a first-time home buyer, working with Tom couldn't have been a better experience. He's incredibly thorough, and never left any doubt that the work he was doing was quality. Would happily recommend his services to any future home buyers.

Tom went above and beyond not only performing the inspection, but also walking us through exactly what he was doing and what he was looking for. As first time home buyers, he was incredibly helpful and I can’t recommend him highly enough.

Tom inspected our 1999 home built on a fairly unique lot backing up to a nature park. What I found valuable about Tom's inspection process is the way he prioritized issues based on financial impact and urgency. Also, Tom took the time to find out what was important to us, and shared his expertise willingly, discussing any topic until we felt comfortable. I never felt rushed. Highly recommend Tom.

Tom is as good as it gets as both a person & home inspector. He is straight forward, honest, and genuinely cares about his clients. He is very diligent while inspecting, and calm with his delivery of findings.
It can be very overwhelming as a first time home buyer hearing the list of issues, but he keeps things in perspective and overall big picture things to tackle first, and what can be taken care of in the future. That allowed me to feel much more at ease and know I could be confident in my purchase as well as where to aim when asking the seller for repairs.

He has so much general knowledge too - I told him some future remodel ideas and he was able to spitball with me and think if they'd ever be reasonable or not and why or why not.

It is so important to trust the person inspecting your future home and I definitely trust him. I will continue to recommend him to those I know purchasing a home in the future!

My home inspection was scheduled quickly on my new construction. The inspection was thorough and the attention to detail was outstanding. pictures with arrows were provided in the report. I could not attend the last portion of the inspection, but Tom was willing to verbally summarize the inspection with me over video chat. He was also responded quickly to follow up questions I had about the report and the repair addendum negotiations. Payment was easy as well. I would recommend Pacific NW Home Inspection to any of my friends or family.

Tom did a great job inspecting my home. He is smart and knowledgeable and took plenty of time to discuss any questions I had. I would recommend him and use again.

Tom was great. He was very thorough with his inspection. Myself being a contractor, I was very impressed with his knowledge in all aspects of the construction trade. If your purchasing a home a good inspector can really save you some near future headaches. I highly recommend Tom.

Wow. Tom fully deserves ALL of these 5 star reviews! Made the inspection for a first time home buyer feel easy and supported. He really knows his stuff. Highly recommend.

Tom was excellent - probably the most thorough home inspection you could ever have. He noted everything and took pictures of everything. He considered short and long-term concerns, explained them thoroughly in our discussion, and included detailed information in his report. One of the most valuable aspects of his service was his ability to explain things thoroughly and comprehensively. There were architectural decisions when the developers were building our property and he took the extra time to explain them and because of that we could stratify short and long term risks and better understand our property as a whole. Also of note, he was remarkably personal and pleasant to work with.

I found Tom online and chose him based on numerous positive reviews. He was able to schedule our inspection within one week due to a cancellation. My husband and I were very pleased with the inspection he did. He was professional and kind, knowledgeable and thorough, and he provided feedback immediately. He gave my husband and I a rundown of the major things that came up during the inspection and talked about everything from small to large. He sent us a thorough report by the end of the day complete with pictures and comments. Overall I would recommend Tom to anyone purchasing a home, especially an older home since there is more that could go wrong.
