Client Reviews

Our inspector was personable, knowledgeable and thorough. I am new to the area and was given useful advice on maintenance to avoid future problems. Well done!

Certified Home Inspection was very knowledgeable and helpful. Scott the inspector explained everything he inspected in great detail. Additionally inspector offered advice on how to improve safety and home improvements. Glad I used Certified Home Inspection Service.

Mr. Schenk was amazing there was not a detail he missed, his observations and advice was presented in a very positive way . I think his ability to convey complex information is a gift , I give him a 5 star rating.

You cannot find better inspectors than this! They are knowledgeable, thorough (within scope), timely, and personable. We have purchased properties multiple times, in multiple locations and have never found better inspectors than these.

We received orders to Whidbey Island as our last duty station before retirement so we waited to buy a house there. We were not able to be there for the inspection but our agent was and I felt like the inspector did a great job. I had some questions about the inspection and they had the inspector call me and he debriefed me on the report which helped me understand the Pacific Northwest lingo and material. I would recommend them to anyone.

Scott did a super thorough job of inspecting a home I am buying in Lynden. I followed him around with a tablet and pen to take notes about breaker boxes etc. and also noted items that need attention (even though these will be in his comprehensive report). He was up in the attic and under the house and checked everything in between. Now I feel confident that there are no hidden surprises for me after the sale closes. I enthusiastically recommend Scott and Certified Home Inspection Service!

This was the first time I used this company and I was very impressed. They were very thorough and knowledgeable. I will definitely use them again and recommend them to other people. Thank you!

Thank you so much for your professional and thorough inspection of our future home. Scott is so knowledgeable and has excellent communication skills. Our written report helped us work with the sellers and their agent in addressing some concerns and we feel a huge sense of relief about the condition of the home. Thank you.

Inspector was on-time & very informative and had brought up multiple different issues with the home that got resolved prior to purchase.

We really appreciated the thoroughness of our inspection. He went places I didn’t even know you could get to! We feel confident that everything was addressed and found the hands on approach very helpful (pointing out items before he left). We are also looking forward to using the concierge service to help turn on our utilities! I would definitely use them again.

The inspection was VERY thorough and detailed. The pictures with accurate descriptions helped me understand the issues pointed out. Thanks to Mr. Schenk, we walked away from a house with subpar construction and saved ourselves from a money pit. I am glad my realtor recommended his services and I would definitely use him again.

I am closing on a house in the area and I live across the country in way, way upstate NY. My Real Estate Agent strongly recommended Mr. Schenk. I was not disappointed. The charge for the inspection was very reasonable. Scheduling was easy and he called me from Washington and spoke with at length about the property after he had completed the inspection. He forwarded onto me the next day (unheard of in NY state) a thorough written document with pictures and diagrams. I am buying this house without ever having walked through it and I am comfortable with my experience with the Realtor and Mr. Schenk. He and his wife run an efficient business.

Scott was very informative and knowledgeable during the inspection process. He detailed what would take place during the inspection, explained his findings and answered my many questions. I was very pleased with the entire process and would refer anyone looking for a competent and knowledgeable person for their inspection to think about contacting Scott through Certified Home & Commercial Inspection. Thank you!

This is the second time I have used this inspection service. My husband and I appreciate how thorough and informative it was. On our recent home Keith even took into account little things to make our home safer for our 2 children. We were left feeling confident and educated in the biggest purchase we’ll ever make! Thanks so much!

We used Keith's services on two separate properties in *********. Thanks to his thorough inspection, we withdrew from the first home based on some of the findings that we had concerns about. His detailed inspection, coupled with his extensive knowledge, let us do the appropriate research and make an informed choice about a very expensive purchase. He is very informative throughout the process. We are going forward with our purchase after his inspection of that property. Certainly appreciate his expertise!
