What to Expect from Your Home Inspection
Booking a home inspection for the first time? Here’s exactly how the process works with Trusted Home Inspections — from scheduling to receiving your report. No surprises, no confusion.
Step 1: Book Online in Minutes
Schedule directly through our online scheduler, available 24/7. Choose your date, time, and any add-on services like radon testing, mold testing, or pool inspection. We’re available 7 days a week across Portland, Oregon and Southwest Washington. If you need a custom quote for a non-standard property, use our quote request form or call us at 971-202-1311.
Step 2: The Inspection Day
Your Certified Master Inspector® — Russ Motyko, OR #1898 / WA #1856 — will arrive on time and spend 2–4 hours conducting a thorough evaluation of the property. Every inspection includes:
- 100+ items inspected covering structure, roof, electrical, plumbing, HVAC, and more
- Free thermal imaging on every inspection — reveals hidden moisture, insulation gaps, and electrical hot spots invisible to the naked eye
- Pest & dry rot assessment (Oregon only)
- You’re welcome — and encouraged — to attend and ask questions throughout
Step 3: Receive Your Report the Same Day
Your detailed, photo-rich inspection report is delivered the same day via Spectora — one of the most trusted platforms in the industry. The report is clear, organized, and written in plain language so you can understand exactly what was found and what it means for your purchase decision. View a sample report here.
