It was worth every penny to have the line scoped. This is a great company to do business with. read less

They did a very thorough job and provided a very comprehensive report. They identified issues--both major and minor--with the home that we could not see during our tour of the home. As a result, it prevented us from buying a home that would have cost thousands of dollars to repair. We are still looking for another home to purchase, and they will be our first call for the inspection. read less

Russell Tolle was thorough, very professional, and knowledgable. We were impressed by how detailed he was with out inspection. We were also impressed by the communication and quick turnaround with our report and sewer and radon inspection as well.

Excellent inspection that found a number of issues on the property in question that I did not notice when I was there.

Provided a really in depth and very detailed inspection. Thankfully found many things that I'm so glad we're brought to light.

David from the 45th Parallel Home Inspection team performed a sewer scope for us. He was on-time, efficient, and walk us through his findings. Highly recommended!

Great experience with this company, professional inspectors, easy to access inspection report. Highly recommend

Really good inspection with valuable report to address home needs and links to professional contractors to complete repairs. After all a home is a typical families biggest expense and main asset. I highly recommend this business!

We needed a sewer line inspection and they were able to get there in a couple of days. Good thing they did because they found the sewer line full of grease and sludge. We made arrangements with them and they came back in a couple of days to clean out the line and reinspect it. We are now a lot more comfortable buying this house. Thanks for a great job. read less

Scheduling and payment were really easy. Our inspector (Marshall) showed up on time and was super meticulous. He presented a fair and honest assessment of the home. Due to his thorough inspection, a large amount of serious issues were uncovered (in a brand new construction home) and we ultimately decided to back out of the contract. It is the biggest purchase of our lives, so we feel so grateful for his honesty and transparency, and would 100% choose this company again. read less

He was extremely thorough, professional and informative. Some of the issues he found led us to discovering that the home, which looked and was described as newly remodeled, had major structural and foundation issues, along with other issues. He helped save us from wasting our time and a lot of money by buying a lemon of a home. As we continue house shopping, he will be our first, and probably only, choice for further home inspections. They are great! read less

From the moment we reached out about a home inspection for our new construction, Russell, provided prompt, detailed and welcomed recommendations on the process and what to expect. When it came to home inspection day, we met Russell out at the new construction site and Russell went above and beyond to ensure that we were informed about the issues and potential issues leading down the road and also provided recommendations and tips to ensure we get the most life out of our new home. Our builder didn't allow home inspectors on the roof but that was new problem for the 45th Parallel team as they were able to fly a drone over the roof to catch some things such as construction debris still left over! Alongside the sewer scope to give us a piece of mind and holding these builders accountable for delivering quality work, we couldn't have more gratitude to Russell and the team at 45th Parallel. We'd highly recommend their services to any family, friend and stranger alike! Thanks Russ! read less

He was very detailed and left no stone unturned. From roof to crawl space, he inspected every inch of the property including the front and back yard. The detailed report was given to us the same night that the inspection was completed. Even after inspection was done and paid for, we spoke over the phone on different occasions about the issues that were observed.

During the inspection Russel was very focused and able to clearly communicate both the issues with the property, and their overall priority for importance of repair.

During the inspection Russel wasn't able to fully do the scope due to pipe angles in my houses construction. Russel promptly refunded the fees without having to ask. Nice.

I would hands down recommend this company to anyone looking to have their house professionally inspected and will absolutely be coming back to them in the future. read less

Russell was very thorough with his inspection and took lots of great pictures. He really went in depth in his explanations as to why something needed to be corrected.

The documentation was great and it saved us a lot of money because it was a great document to show the sellers why they needed to correct certain items that we requested. He saved us thousands of dollars and we paid to have him reinspect the work once the sellers said it was complete. I am glad that we paid the extra money for reinspection because the sellers only fixed half of the items that they said they fixed.

We then had Russell come back a third time at the expense of the sellers until all items were confirmed fixed by Russell.

Russell was patient with us in explaining follow up questions we had and he was always available after hours.

I would highly recommend him! Also pay the extra money for a reinspection by Russell. You will be glad that you did!!! read less

We received back a 40+ page inspection report viewable in summary or detail, multiple photos of any issues, and easy to view "suggestions" or "repairs needed".
Russ spent time with us over the phone to review the report together. He answered all of our questions which helped us decide how to proceed with the purchase of the house.
Today I received an app with the inspection report which I can use for maintenance reminders and a list of qualified professionals to help! It's also a place to log projects, paint colors and home item descriptions for safe keeping.

He was thorough in what he checked, and clearly communicated everything he saw. He happily took extra care in intentionally checking the things we specifically wanted him to look at it. He had the full report (with photos and suggestions of how to address any/every blemish found) to us the same day as the inspection, a matter of hours later. I have absolutely zero qualms about telling my friends to use him. I had full confidence that I understood our new house and what we were purchasing after he took a look at it.

My experience with him says he is nothing short of a professional and trustworthy guy. read less
