Testimonials

Besides being a thorough inspector, Tim is very professional and responsive to my clients whether it be regarding scheduling, reports, or follow up questions. He is knowledgeable and personable leaving all my clients feeling comfortable and educated about the facts and condition of the property they are considering. His speedy, graphic, online reports are great, concise and easy to read – and make it easy for me to consult with my clients whether we are in the same room or miles apart! I know my clients are in good hands with Tim!

Tim Hance was very professional and thorough with his inspection. The report was precise, well written, and easy to understand with lots of photos. His service was also fast and reasonably priced for all he did. If I ever need a home inspection again I will use All Island Home Inspections. Thank you for a great service!

Shelly KalalAndover, KS

Tim, thank you so much for the great job on our home inspection. You are the perfect person to be a Home Inspector, because you have personally done contracting not just overseeing but actually doing the remodeling yourself. You know what to look for, what is important and what is not. We have never had a home inspection that comes close to the service you offered us. The report was very well organized, extremely thorough, and you never tired of my endless questions. You offer a terrific service, if we ever purchase a home again in the area, you will be our inspector.

Jo Ann & John ScogginAlta, WY

Thank you again for your home inspection of our second property, which you did in our absence. We hired you on a tip from our real estate agent. We were extremely satisfied with your performance. You told us on the phone that the inspection would take 2 to 3 hours. We have parted from the house some 6 hours later at no extra charge. You patiently explained and answered every question we had. You crawled to all out of sight places, walked on steep roof, removed furniture and stored items of renters to see it all. You took dozens of close up photos. Your amazingly thorough report was over 30 pages long. Unfortunately seller, days before closing escrow, decided to be foreclosed on. We had to hire you again, in our absence, for our second choice of vacation home on Orcas Island. You performed that inspection on your own, just with keys borrowed from listing agent. We now have both the electronic and hard copy!

Let us tell you, you have not cut any corners. This second inspection of our pro…

I have found Tim Hance to be efficient, reliable, and responsive. His inspection reports are both detailed and comprehensive, yet presented in a clear and concise fashion. A true professional, we in the San Juan Islands are fortunate to have Tim Hance!

This is a must for anyone thinking to purchase a home… Tim’s services go behind the facade and ferrets out all the pluses and minuses for the structure. Even if you don’t use his inspection report to negotiate with, it gives you a realistic, honest and thorough picture of what you are buying and what additional projects you’ll be looking at in the future–whether it’s a dripping faucet, faulty wiring or carpenter ants. Thanks to his thoroughness, I didn’t make a huge mistake. Use Tim to look behind those few coats of new paint. We WILL be using him again in the near future.

Todd & Susan Ekstrom

Each time my clients choose Tim Hance of All Islands Home Inspections I have confidence knowing they are getting the most comprehensive, detailed inspection available. Tim brings many skills to the table; one that stands out for me is his ability to communicate respectfully and professionally with both buyers and sellers. He is timely and produces a detailed report that is exceptional. I recommend Tim to my buyers; I also refer him to sellers for a pre-listing inspection/report.

Gwyneth BurrillWindermere Real Estate

Tim’s report was extremely thorough & comprehensive. His findings were presented in an organized, easy to understand manner, with clearly defined recommendations. Most importantly, Tim’s availability to answer our questions was invaluable in our decision to proceed with this purchase. We would highly recommend Tim and will certainly use him again in the future.

Tim carried out a thorough, professional inspection and provided a superb written report with photos of all points that needed repairs or improvements. A careful walk-through gave us a solid understanding of how the house functions. And his help didn’t stop there; shortly after the second-day walk-through and review he sent us information on how to make several improvements to the property.

Joe & Meg Massey

Tim, we simply cannot express how pleased we are with your home inspection. We have never experienced such thorough and complete service before. The personal time you spent explaining each detail of the report was very reassuring. We move into our new home with an in depth understanding of its idiosyncrasies and inner workings. More importantly, we have a sense of safety that we cannot place a value on. Thank you!

Tim’s inspection was astoundingly thorough. We love the house we’re buying—but now we know the house in detail. Tim left nothing unexamined. His report included photos, videos, & a breakdown of categories repairs needed: from safety issues to minor repairs & upgrades.read more

Tim was prompt in all correspondence and communication from the start. He was very thorough and detailed in his inspection and report. I felt much better about our home purchase after his inspection, that all or most of the 'unknowns' had been documented. I would use him again and recommend his services to anyone in need of a home inspection.read more

Tim is personable, knowledgeable and thorough. He knows, and is known throughout, the San Juan Islands, and every real estate agent and contractor we spoke with knew him and had nothing but good things to say. He has a well earned reputation and gave us all the time we needed, answered numerous questions, and we came away feeling like we knew all we needed to make an important investment decision. Tim is a super intelligent and multi-faceted home inspector ... and even knows a couple of half-decent jokes!! Thanks, Tim!!read more
