Clackamas County covers more ground than most people realize. A Lake Oswego mid-century on a sloped lot. A 1995 Happy Valley spec. A farmhouse outside Molalla on five acres. A new build on the Oregon City bluff. They all need an inspection. They all need a different one. And I live right here.
Not only do I have 10 years of inspector experience, I also worked as a Contractor for 12. My specialty was difficult and high-end framing. But I've also replaced roofs, ran wiring, poured concrete, waterproofed showers, set tile, replaced siding and windows, installed drywall, and set doors. That dual background is what lets me read a 1968 Lake Oswego ranch the way the original carpenter framed it, then spot what the 1990s addition did wrong.
When I walk a Clackamas County home, the era and city set the priorities before I even open the door. In Happy Valley I'm focused on grading, drainage, and CPVC at heat sources. In Estacada it's well, septic, wood stove clearances, and outbuildings. In Lake Oswego it's hillside drainage, complex rooflines, and deferred maintenance on systems that were high-end thirty years ago.
I hold Certified Master Inspector® certification (top 3% of the industry), Oregon OCHI license #1898, Washington DOL license #1856, and CCB #254518. Every inspection includes free thermal imaging. In Clackamas County's climate, that's necessary, not optional.
