Testimonials

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…

Josef & Bonnie SedivecSan Diego, CA

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.

This is to thank you for the incredibly thorough and detailed inspection you made of the home we are purchasing on Orcas. We have bought and sold a number of properties over the years but we have never encountered a home inspector who was as careful and conscientious as you are. We were amazed you would sit with us after the inspection and go through every photo you took and explain what you had found and what it meant. That you would also patiently answer every question we had was also greatly appreciated. The strong sense we have of your integrity and care in conducting our home inspection gave us great confidence in proceeding to buy our Orcas home. We look forward to seeing you on island in the future.

Arthur & Judy Winer

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 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

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!

Kathryn FarronWindermere Real EstateSan Juan Island

I have used Tim Hance at All Islands Home Inspections on two real estate transactions in the past year and found his inspections to be thorough and well documented. He responded quickly to all phone calls and completed the inspections in a timely manner, even on property on a non-ferry served island. I found him energetic, competent and the buyers were impressed with his presentation. I would not hesitate to recommend All Islands Home Inspections in the future.

Jane SawyerColdwell Banker San Juan Islands Inc.

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!

Evan & Valerie BuxbaumOrcas Island, WA

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.
