Can I Take Care of My Home Myself?

Our inspectors are trained to identify issues that aren't visible to the untrained eye — from structural concerns and electrical hazards to hidden moisture damage and failing mechanical systems. A professional inspection can save you thousands in unexpected repairs and give you peace of mind about the true condition of your home.

- Uncover hidden problems before they become expensive repairs
- Negotiate a fair price based on the true condition of the property

Selling your home can be a stressful process, from preparing the home to be sold to figuring out the right price to list it at. A pre-listing home inspection from 45th Parallel Home Inspection will answer many of your questions so you have a better idea of what to fix, make concessions on, and expect when offers come your way.
By understanding your home's condition upfront, you gain a strategic advantage. A pre-listing inspection provides valuable insights into your property's strengths and weaknesses. Our expert inspectors meticulously examine your home, identifying potential issues before they become negotiation points. This knowledge empowers you to address problems proactively, enhancing your home's appeal to buyers.
By resolving issues beforehand, you can confidently price your home accurately and avoid surprises during the selling process. A pre-listing inspection also strengthens your negotiating position, as you can transparently address any concerns raised by potential buyers — buyers are less likely to walk away when they have a solid understanding of the property upfront and what has been done to remedy any issues discovered.

Preventative care is key to preserving your home's value and the comfort of you and your family. 45th Parallel Home Inspection's Home Health Checkup offers a proactive approach to home maintenance.
Unlike a full home inspection, this focused examination targets often-neglected areas: the roof, attic, and crawlspace. These spaces are susceptible to hidden problems that can escalate into costly repairs if left undetected. A yearly Home Health Checkup from 45th Parallel helps you stay ahead of potential issues.
Our experienced inspectors will thoroughly assess these critical areas, looking for signs of damage, wear and tear, water intrusion, or structural concerns. Armed with this information, you can address problems promptly and prevent them from turning into major headaches or more costly repairs down the road. We recommend a full home inspection about once every 5 years for a deeper dive, over and above a yearly Home Health Checkup.

Home Inspection Customer Reviews
Russell Tolle did a great job with inspecting our new home. Russ was highly recommended by several people and I can see why. His inspection report was very detailed and clearly marked any areas of concern. Russ also does a great job of explaining the more complicated parts of the inspection, so it’s easy for the average person to understand.
We had a couple inspections done by the team here. Very solid and professional. Even came back to verify something was done that we couldn’t see. Would recommend this company for your inspection.
I am a Realtor in Clark County, WA. I work with all inspectors on a regular bases. I found the inspection of a clients new construction home to be very in depth and brought out things the builder was not aware of and sub contractors had missed. The builder mentioned that the inspector was very knowledgeable and appreciated getting the missed issues found in this new home. Attention to detail backed with knowledge of home construction and codes makes this inspection company an excellent choice!!!
Tim and Russell were very sweet and professional! I was really impressed with the inspection Tim did for the house. No rock unturned! Very detailed email with pictures. I highly recommend them for any inspection. Thanks, guys!
