Jacob Campbell Nickelsen’s home inspections were extremely thorough and looked at our home with a very critical eye. The report they issued me was dozens of pages and covered every aspect of the house. Additionally, when they first came out the garage was locked, so they returned on a separate occasion to finish the inspection and sent me a second report just on the garage. Excellent service even after they’d gotten their money! The only complaint I could make is that it took them several days to make it out, but they still completed all inspections within our inspection period. I highly recommend their service. AB I was pleased to receive a very thorough and comprehensive Home Inspection Report from Nickelsen Home Inspections. The information is valuable for listing repairs needed, and more valuable in negotiations of the sale. Would use their services again in the future. MV I have worked with Rick Marsh of Nickelsen Home Inspections since 2005 and he has not missed a single thing for any of my client’s inspections. He typically find things that other inspectors do not find. When you are a buyer or representing buyers, like I am, this is what you want! Jesika W. I was actually referred to another home inspector, but their reviews were terrible. I ended up using Justin @ Nickelsen and I couldn’t have been happier with the whole process. He works crazy hours and was available whenever I needed to get ahold of him. Justin was professional and thorough and very nice. He made the whole process so much easier for me. Thanks 🙂 Mark D. These guys did a great job . i would recomend. thme to anybody that needs a home inspection, they came the same day they were called, good price quialty inspection these didnt miss a thing , thank you again for a great job. George V. We used Nickelsen Home Inspections twice in a one month period; they were thorough, professional, and detailed oriented. On the first house, they uncovered serious defects and problems, and we terminated the escrow; on the second house, they helped us identify several problem areas prior to closing, and we were able to negotiate with the seller for repairs. Rick Marsh is an experienced and practiced inspector, who communicates well and prepares timely in-depth reports. We highly recommend the company. SR Justin is passionate about what he does and will make sure you are educated about ALL the items that will need to be addressed before buying your house. Justin s inspection actually saved us thousands of dollars and countless home ownership misery. We ended up not buying the house due to a failing in slab radiant heating system (circa 1950). If you want a home inspection company that will WORK for you and give you more than a surface level report then Nickelsen Home Inspections is the home inspection company for you. Betsey We are so thankful to have chosen Justin Nickelsen for our home inspection. His clear, detailed report left us so thoroughly informed on the state of the house and saved us from making a very unwise decision. It is obvious that he is truly dedicated to each client, to helping people understand the home in question, so that they are left feeling confident in how they choose to proceed. We highly recommend Nickelsen Home Inspections! Liked: Service Cory B. I had a chance to review your report in full and found it very informative and helpful. Twice now I have used Kurt with Nickelsen Home Inspections and received exceptional, prompt service. I will certainly use you again in the future should the need arise. Matthew W. Justin has done three inspections for me at this point and he is my go to guy for this type of work. He is on time, professional, attentive, and thorough. His reports are heavy on pictures and include information on where to go for more information. He makes himself available for follow up questions and makes sure I really understand what he is talking about, breaking down construction and building terms and concepts into information I can digest and really absorb. When he doesn’t know answers he tells you and will get back to you when he figures it out. The most pleasant part of working with him is his ability to tell me in plain English how big of a problem something really is. For instance, just today he told me that I absolutely, with no hesitation, must replace damaged parts of my sill plate very soon. On my last inspection he was able to offer rough ideas of the expected life left on various parts of the house. This information was extremely useful in making an informed investment. I will use his company, and only his company, for all future real estate purchases. I suggest you do the same. Cara Where to start? My husband and I moved here from out-of-state, saw our home once, fell in love with it, and promptly made an offer. This was a long-distance purchase and we wanted to feel secure before signing on the dotted line. Not knowing anyone in the area, and not liking our real estate agent’s suggestions for home inspectors, I looked for one myself and found Nickelsen Home Inspections. I left a message and Justin Nickelsen immediately phoned back. Impressive in the world of contractors, and as the process moved forward he never disappointed us. We always felt solidly represented. We bought from a less-that-scrupulous seller who showed up for the inspection and feebly attempted to steer things. Justin had none of it and made it clear to this man, that he was representing us and would not be distracted from the inspection he was hired to complete, or led in any way. This was huge and we knew we were in excellent, capable hands, and that we’d found someone who had unshakeable ethics. Lindsey We were very happy with the inspections done by Nickelson Home Inspections. Being a first time home buyer can be very overwhelming, but they provided us with a very thorough, unbiased report. Their inspection was very detailed, including aspects such as dry rot/mold and even pests. Immediately following the inspection, we were provided with an entire report which was well organized and easy to read. It was complete with pictures identifying and highlighting specific areas needing to be addressed or taken note of. We would definitely use Nickelson Home Inspections in the future, and would recommend them to anyone in search of an informative inspector. D. Crow Realtors commented on the thoroughness of a recent home inspection report Justin performed for us. After discussing the report, Justin encouraged us to write an addendum to ask for further concessions on issues he addressed in his report. His advice resulted in an additional $1,250 concession from the seller. Highly recommend Nickelsen Home Inspections. David Smith, Realtor A home inspection is so much more than it sounds. Nickelsen Home Inspections takes a holistic approach, including the relationships of all principals, agents, and lenders, and the respective needs of each. Nickelsen knows that they’ve been hired to produce a report of the condition of the property, but they remain cognizant of the need to educate their clients just as they facilitate a means by which to proceed within a transaction. A bad inspection can help the transaction progress, while failing to maintain the best insterests of the client. On the other hand, a good inspection may very well describe the condition of the property, and still throw a wrench in the transaction due to poor communications, timeliness, and respect for the practical requirements to move forward. ***Nickelsen Home Inspections deftly navigates, offering their clients the best representation of their interests, while paving the way to proceed.*** The Nickelsen home inspection summary is provided at the time of inspection, with the full report delivered usually within the calendar day. Because the Nickelsen team is well regarded due to their education and experience, their reports form the bedrock of the most important phase of the transaction, the inspection period. The reports of lesser inspectors are frequently scrutinized for specious content or missed items, but not Nickelsen’s. If ever there is a question regarding a Nickelsen report, they’re always available to communicate in plain terms, the most complex issues, to acknowledged satisfaction. I count on Nickelsen Home Inspections to protect the interests of my clients. They’ve done so for years, and I anticipate that the will for many more. David Smith, Prudential NW Properties, 360.362.9103, www.NWRealProperty.com. “Pig in a Pen” We used Nickelsen Home Inspections to review a dilapidated 1945 Cape Cod, which we knew would take considerable work to rehab into livable conditions. However, we were not prepared to find out the extent to which we would need to basically start from the ground up. Justin pointed out many things to us that we had not considered, such as the damage resulting from rodent infestations, asbestos roofing material (which turned out to be positive upon testing), an add-on family room that was not built to code, and unsafe chimney conditions. His thorough inspection and VERY complete report presentation basically kept us from keeping our original bid on the forclosed property and we ended up passing on it entirely. When I think about what we almost got into…well, I’m just glad Justin was recommended to us by our friend! The hunt for the perfect property in Portland continues, but we will not move forward without Justin Nickelsen’s assistance! Local Realtor EXCELLENT HOME INSPECTOR: I am a local Realtor and have known Kurt Nickelsen of Nickelsen Home Inspections for a long time… In fact, BEFORE I was a Realtor, I was buying a house and used Kurt Nickelsen. As it was then, and is now, Kurt Nickelsen’s home inspection services were absolutly fantastic! Now, as a Realtor, I have the opportunity of meeting and seeing many home inspectors and home inspections taking place. KURT is the best! Denice N. – Realtor at Prudential NW Properties As a Realtor, I have recommended Nickelsen Home Inspections to my clients for years. I know that my clients will receive a thorough inspection, and an easy to read report. The inspection is always explained to the home buyer in a way that is not scary, but relays the information necessary to make an educated decision. You can count of Nickelsen Home Inspections to provide you with an electronic and paper version of your inspection. They make it easy to work with scheduling a time that meet most everyone’s needs. David A. We had some trouble on our lender’s end of things, and they came out and helped us to know what we needed to have done so that they could sign off on our house to the satisfaction of the lender. Worked out well. Did a thorough and professional job. Turned us on to things that we want to fix and take care of on our new home. Darren C. – www.InventMarie.com My wife and I used Justin when we were buying our first home. He was very thorough, up-front and professional through the entire process. He took many photos and described in detail everything about the house. He helped us understand all aspects of our decision BEFORE we put our money down. Absolutely invaluable! Harmony C. Do not buy a home without having these guys inspect it first! You will be amazed at what they find – it doesn’t mean you won’t buy the home but it will help you make sure you buy it right! Bryan K. I have had 3 homes inspected by Nickelsen. Each time they have been excellent to work with and have provided through and easy to understand reports that have saved me thousands of dollars by identifing issues that I have negotiated the seller to pay for. Their inspectors are very knowledgeable and I highly recommend them. Kelly M. Justin has learned the trade well, Kurt has inspected half a dozen properties and always amazes me with his professional manor, and both him and Justin will give you the most complete inspection for the money you will ever get. I have saved thousands by knowing exactly where i am negotiating from. Thanks guys, you are among the best. Robyn S. I am hoping the word gets out how expert Justin is in his home inspections! I am so glad I found him through a referral. They were more than impressed with his work–and now I can see why! Extremely thorough, helpful, with great prices. I feel confident that I can walk into my house knowing what is wrong now–and knowing what I need to plan for maintenance-wise in the future. I am spreading the word about Justin. I would hire him in a heart beat. Thanks again, Justin! Joann M. We have looked at several homes in the last 8 years, and had several other inspecters. No one even came close to the kind of thorough professional inspection done by Justin. His fees are minor compared to the expense and grief his thoroughness saved us. We would never even consider any other inspecter! We highly recommend him to anyone and everyone including friends, relatives, and in one case even a stranger. Truly world class all the way. Every business should be this good.Thanks! Nicolas Q. Very impressed by the thoroughness of the inspection. Very informative report and excellent explanation of issues. I look forward to using them on my next real estate venture! Camile S. Justin inspected a home for us that we loved, and sadly during his inspection found way too many things wrong with the home. Most of the things he discovered were not required to be looked into for a home inspection. He went above and beyond those requirements and we were so thankful that he did, otherwise we would have ended up with a home that required way too many fixes. About a month later we had Justin inspect another home for us and he gave it an enthusiastic stamp of approval. He wrote a great inspection report for us and we were able to communicate clearly with the seller the items that needed to be fixed. Justin even went above and beyond AGAIN to communicate directly with the seller about things that needed fixing and suggestion for the best way to fix them. Thank you Justin and Nickelsen Home Inspections for helping us find our dream home in Vancouver!! Nick W. I called Justin upon recommendation from my aunt. I left a message with him at 4:00pm, he called me back 15min. later and by 6:15 that night, he was at the home inspecting away! He was extremely knowledgeable and friendly. I would recommend him to anyone without hesitation. His report was thorough and easy to read! Great job! Chana Dolbey Justin at Nickelsen Home Inspections is always very professional and makes sure the client is completely understanding the process. He answers quesitons and makes himself available when needed. He is an expert in his field and very knowledgable about his work. He is thorough and does not cut corners during inspections. I recommend him every time I can. All my clients are satisfied with his services. Chana Dolbey – Century 21 Expert Realty Angela H. Two huge thumbs up for Nickelsen Home Inspections! Justin has provided inspection services on several properties for us. He represents his company in a friendly, courteous, and professional manner. His reports have been thorough, have proven to be reliable, and hes been available to answer any questions weve had. I highly recommend Nickelsen Home Inspections for their dependable work, attention to detail, and excellent follow-up. Theres no question about using their services again. Thanks Justin! David A. Did a very thorough and professional job. Helped us with a sticky situation with our lender. We had to fix some things before the lender would ok it. Justin was very quick at getting the work we had done reinspected. Bethany Justin was professional, courteous and very thorough during the inspection of the home I’m buying. I will call Nickelsen again if I ever need another inspection. Marilynn G. Highly recommend Justin from Nickelsen’s Home Inspections. Justin was very thorough and quick to answer any questions that we had. He went above and beyond in making sure we understood the report and in explaining anything we didn’t know much about. Although the purchase of the house didn’t happen, you can bet we will use him again when we try again. Jason W. Justin was very thorough, and explained everything to me in great detail. I would use his service again. Mike D. Justin is phenomenal to work with. He was thorough, considerate, and friendly. His report was detailed and concise, and during the inspection he made sure that I knew exactly what was going on. I never felt like he was rushing to get done, and he never made me feel like I was asking too many questions. He took time to explain what he saw and, more importantly, he explained the process. World class service and excellent presentation. The only inspector I’ll be recommending. Lacey B. I would, without any hesitation, recommend Nickelsen Home Inspections to any homebuyer. A few months ago, we made our first offer on our first home. Justin performed the inspection and he did a great job of explaining everything he was doing and he was very patient with our questions. That home ended up not being the one for us, but one month later, we found another worth looking into. Nickelsen Home Inspections was brought in again, Justin and Kurt were both there to offer their expertise and I couldnt be more thankful. They have both gone out of their way to make sure we understand exactly what we are getting into. Also, after every inspection, we have received a very detailed report on their findings with pictures to clarify so there is no question about the condition of the home. Call on Nickelsen Home Inspections if you want a trustworthy, well-informed start to your new home. Ellie and Steve P. Justin did a phenomenal job with our home. You can tell he is an extremely ethical person. He pointed out a lot of things that even my husband (trained in construction and building) didn’t see right away. His attention to detail was impeccable and his timeliness and professionalism were amazing. Inspecting a home that was over 100 years old would seem daunting, but he was extremely thorough and precise in all his assessments. We were lucky to have someone so experienced work with us. His report was finished promptly and his overall friendly and relaxed attitude helped ease any concerns we had. Justin has a way of explaining things in a very easy-to-understand and patient manner. I couldn’t possibly think of entrusting a home inspection to any other person from here on out. Highly recommended. Mary M. – Realtor Woodland, WA I have been referring Nickelsen Home Inspections for almost 4 years. I have found them to be professional, fair and honest. With everyone looking for the best bang for their buck, I can assure them they won’t regret choosing Nickelsen. I would certainly use them for my own home. Geoffrey H. Not having bought a new house in several years, this was my first experience with having a home inspection. I wasn’t sure what to expect, but having remodeled professionally for several years I knew I could tell what was basically going on with this older home I was looking to purchase. When Justin showed up he explained how it all worked, what he would look at, how far an inspection went and who to see if I wanted to take it further; if I wanted a mold or radon test preformed, for example. He was clear, concise and completely through in his inspection – taking over four hours to carefully check out this place from top to bottom. He produced a report, about thirty pages long, with carefully taken photos of any problems he discovered. As a result of Justin’s professional and painless (for me; not him) examination, we were able to see and present all the things that needed to be fixed or accounted for in our offer to the seller. I would use him again without any reservation and would also recommend him to anyone who wanted to know exactly the shape that house that they are thinking of buying is actually in. Thanks Justin for all your good work. Susie R. I would definitely recommend Nickelsen Home Inspections for future home buyers. My husband and I are first time home buyers and feel very lucky to have chosen such a great inspector. Justin was extremely thorough in his inpection process and explained all of his work in detail. He provided an on the spot report with pictures. With his help and advice we were able to get repairs (fixing of siding and crawl space) done to our house (all paid for by the sellers) and obtain a warranty for the repairs. Justin was extremely pro-active, and at one point even talked to the owner of the company making the repairs, in order to make sure the repairs were performed properly. My husband and I will definitely be referring his services to our family and friends. Amy M. I would highly recommend Nickelsen Home Inspections, LLC. As a first time home buyer Pillar To Post inspected our home and their report doesn’t even compare to how thorough Nickelsen Home Inspections put into the inspection of our home. Justin answered all our questions and explained the answers in detail, and also gives us a report with detailed pictures so we know exactly what is wrong and how to fix the problem. Dr. Kate Wiggin – www.drkatewiggin.com Justin provided an excellent and thorough inspection, complete with a detailed report and pictures. He was professional and his work was professional and timely. We were so impressed, we sought out his business for inspecting a second house! Shawn and Misty E. This was our first home inspection ever for my boyfriend and I so we weren’t really sure what to expect. As soon as we met Justin, I knew that we were in great hands. He was very down to earth and laid back which relieved your concerns and relaxed the whole process. He answered all of our questions and was VERY thorough (a good thing) with the entire inspection overall. At the end, we were given a complete package including the entire inspection report broken down by individual sections, photos and recommendations. This took the guesswork out of the identifying the major and minor opportunities which was very appreciative.. A+! We recommend Justin and team for any inspection in the future, we will definitely use again. Thanks Nickelsen Inspections!! Brooke H. – Realtor at Keller Williams Realty As a real estate agent in Vancouver, I know how important it is to surround myself with a team I can trust. When recommending Inspection Services to my buyers I ALWAYS recommend Nickelsen Home Inspections. I know I can trust Justin to do a complete, detailed inspection of every property in a timely manner. I feel completely comfortable sending my clients to meet Justin at the house because he always takes the time to go over his report and any inspection items – explaining to the client in plain english any items found during the walk through. Plus, Justin follows up with a detailed report that includes color photos and a detailed summary. The service doesn’t stop there! Whenever I have questions or need referrals for repair – I know I can call or email Nickelsen Home Inspections and get a quick response. I go farther then just recommending Nickelsen Home Inspections. I also called Justin when I was looking to purchase a home myself. It was Justin’s inspection that found recalled plumbing on one of the potential purchases! I can’t say enough good things about Justin and the guys at Nickelsen. I would highly recommend Nickelsen Home Inspections! David K. I recently hired nickelsen to perform a home inspection for me and although I was aprehensive about it, once I met justin face to face I was instantly releaved. he was down to earth, friendly and best of all strait to buisness. As a first time home buyer I feel justins exstensive knowledge of home inspections is something every home buyer should have access to before purchasing a home. (there were several items I dought I would have found or recongnized prior to them becoming big money issues) Its the only way to know what your realy buying. and who deosnt want to know that? “Ma J” My husband and I have nothing but the highest regard for Nickelsen Home Inspections and have used them for 2 homes. People who think that because they buy a new home, they don’t need an inspection are wrong! In our brand new home Justin found several issues, the worst one being our sewer lines were going up in several places instead of down, the way they should be going! The poor plumbing continued but finally in the end we found someone to do the job correctly. All total Justin was here 4 times for one house. Each time he was very timely, personable,thorough, helpful and in our case extremely patient. We also used him on an older home that we needed to make a rental. If you can believe it our sewer lines were going up in a couple of places again (as well as a few other minor issues)! Fortunately, we had finally found a good plumber. I can’t say enough good things about Justin and his great attention to details, he saved us today from future problems that could have really caused great damage. Mike F. Buying your first home is an exciting and, at times, daunting experience. The professionals at Nickelsen Home Inspections immediately put me at ease during the inspection of the home. The report that I received from NHI was extremely complete and thorough and presented in a easily understandable format. Justin was fantastic, after the inspection he sat down with me and explained what he found in plain English and recommended various solutions based on the best practices that only years of experience can provide. Since purchasing the home I have followed some of these suggestions and couldn’t be happier with the results. Thank you so much for making my first home buying experience enjoyable. M.H. I found the service you provided to be friendly, helpful, informative, knowledgeable, efficient, and skilled. I was impressed that I left the inspection with a hard color copy and electronic copy of the report! Wow! Justin, you were simply great to work with. I had a list of questions to ask, and before I could, you asked me for the list and made sure everything was answered and I understood. I really appreciate your thoughtful and courteous service. It was actually a fun and informative experience and I was happily surprised by that. I would definitely recommend your service, or use you again. Lisa Huddleston I found the service you provided to be friendly, helpful, informative, knowledgeable, efficient, and skilled. I was impressed that I left the inspection with a hard color copy and electronic copy of the report! Wow! Justin, you were simply great to work with. I had a list of questions to ask, and before I could, you asked me for the list and made sure everything was answered and I understood. I really appreciate your thoughtful and courteous service. It was actually a fun and informative experience and I was happily surprised by that. I would definitely recommend your service, or use you again. Brooke V. Justin did a great job working with us during a process that was wholly unfamiliar to us! We are first time home buyers, and had about a million questions. Justin explained the entire process to us as he went, and provided us with a very thorough report on site. He clearly and concisely categorized all of the problems and potential issues, and explained to us what needed to happen to get them resolved! He even took multiple phone calls from us asking follow up questions later with a smile and a friendly attitude. We thank him so much for not leaving us with an overwhelmed feeling, which can easily happen in the home buying process, especially if you’re new to it! Scott Kreitzberg I enjoyed the excellent service provided. Justin demonstrated expertise in the field both on the ground and in the inspection report. He was all over the house and the detached cottage. Being a multiple structure property, Justin took the extra time and care, to complete the job. The inspection report clearly communicated the condition of the home, and is thorough, concise and comprehensive. I sincerely recommend Nickelsen Home Inspections without hesitation. D. Rimer I will certainly recommend your services if I have the opportunity. C. Danilov Nickelsen Home Inspections did a fantastic job in inspecting the home that I plan to purchase. Because the home was built in the 1920s and has been extensively remodelled, the inspection required some extra time to examine and consider. Justin from Nickelsen delved into every nook and cranny of the home, took excellent photos of every item of concern, wrote a top notch report, and followed up on every question I had regarding the inspection. Finally, Justin was able to identify a serious problem with improper ventilation and mold beneath the home, a problem which would have prevented me from buying the house, had the seller not been willing to remedy the situation. Thanks to Justin, I will continue in the closing process with peace of mind, knowing that his thorough inspection both prevented some serious risks to my health and home and saved me many thousands of dollars in repairs and treatments. Thank you Justin and Nickelsen Home Inspections! Michael and Christine Thank you for the job you did. We are so happy, I think we were meant to be here. The value of our home goes beyond money of course, but you made an honest [inspection] of the property and we appreciated your services. Robert G. Professionalism and thoroughness on the inspection and a wealth of information was provided. The documentation and service is a model for what every home inspection should be. Justin Nickelsen earned a great recommendation here. A tremendous performance from start to finish. We now refer people to him and highly recommend his services. The Coverts Please know how much we appreciate your honesty and professional integrity. We would not hesitate to request your home inspection services for any house we might consider in the future, and we would certainly recommend your services to anyone. D. Beckett – Realtor “Your work is outstanding! Willingness to come on very short notice helped us put a deal together than otherwise should not have happened. Josh and Andrea Poe Wanted to say thank you for coming out so fast to do our inspection. This is our first house and we were scared about investing any money into it, but Justin and Kurt Nickelsen made us feel very good about investing in their services. They scheduled us over the weekend, were out 2 days later, were in and out in no time and we received an extensive report on the condition of the home. I was able to get prices and quotes that same night on everything because the report was so easy to understand. I will definitely recommend Nickelsen Home Inspections to my parents, my aunt who owns a realty company and to my loan officer. Thank you again! T. Taylor Thank you for your inspection of the house. Both Dan … and I were impressed with your thoroughness and attention to detail (as well as explaining things in a way I could understand!). I gave out one of your business cards (had to keep one for myself!) at our … meeting last night (Monday). If you could send me some more, or drop them off … I will recommend you to others! Dawn Shaffer If you need an inspector in Clark County, or anywhere in Western Washington and Northwestern Oregon, you can trust Nickelsen Home Inspections to make the process informative and reassuring. They are down-to-earth and explain things using words the rest of us can understand. I highly recommend them when you need a home inspection or any other inspection service! Shirean M. I really appreciated the knowledge and professionalism that was brought to my inspection. More importantly, I was pleased that you took the time to answers questions and requests following my inspection in a timely manner. I fully intend to use your company on future transactions! The Hoy Family I would like to say thank you for your honesty and positive attitude. I would like to recommend your services to anyone that needs home inspection services in the future! Ann Clemon Justin, it was a pleasure working with you. I really appreciated your honesty and integrity, thoroughness and patience, and taking time to answer my questions. Your expertise has helped me get to “know” my home. You not only saved me a lot of money but I will move in with peace of mind knowing my home is safe and sound. If I hear of anyone that is looking for a home inspection, I will be sure to send them your way. Donna and Lee Fanning Nickelsen Home Inspections was recommended to us and we were very happy with the service. Justin arrived at the house before us and was already working when we arrived. As he worked around and thorough the house he explained everything he was doing and why. Justin was so thorough that we have not been able to come up with any questions for him to answer. His report was thorough,concise and left no unanswered questions. R. Kim Professional, timely and thorough! As a first-time homebuyer I had lots of questions and concerns with the purchase of a home. Justin made the inspection experience seamless and worry free. He answered all of our questions and offered resolutions and solutions to anything that was discovered during the inspection. I wouldn’t use anyone else but Nickelsen Home Inspections for future purchases and would without a doubt recommend them to all of my family and friends. Martha R. Thanks for doing such a great job! I appreciate knowing all the things you discovered. I will recommend you to others! Happy Client Our purchase was successful…. We were very pleased with your services and appreciated your positive attitude, your excellent written material and explanation of your work, and attention to detail…. I would be pleased to recommend your work! Jason and Katie Mozes Katie and I just wanted to thank you both for doing a great job. Thanks for being thorough and very upfront about all the things that were right and wrong about the house. We both have little to no clue about homes so your knowledge on the problems and advice on how to fix them was great. I’ll overlook Justin being a Pittsburgh Steelers fan and recommend you guys to any friends looking to purchase a new home. Thanks! Chris Strahm It is always refreshing to encounter a firm that cares about their work, takes it seriously, and does a professional job at a very fair price. They are called hard working, ethical, honest people. I called Kurt and he gave me a quote in advance on a short sale beautiful very large brand new house we were going to buy. Justin did an incredible job on the inspection, spending 2 partial days at the house, and producing an 80 page report with 3 dozen pics. It was a lot of work to inspect. No doubt far more work than how they had priced the job. The house had a ton of issues, and we dropped the purchase. We will be buying some other house this year, we will not buy any house without an inspection, and we will use Nickelsen to inspect them all. I gladly give Nickelsen my highest recommendation. L. Gallup I hired Justin on two separate occasions to perform home inspections. Both times he did a thorough inspection that went well beyond what he was obligated to perform. The resultant report was clear and detailed with photos to further illustrate observations. I would recommend Justin to anyone looking to buy a home. Aprilfool1963 Thank you so much!! I appreciate you taking time to show us specific things and how to work/use certain things. You were very helpful!!! GF I had Justin do a home inspection for me last week. The inspection was thorough, highly detailed and professional. Nothing else to say. AMRF We feel so fortunate to have chosen Justin with Nickelsen for our home inspection. As first time home buyers and out-of-state buyers as well, we are new to this process and the area. Justin was highly recommended by our realtor. Based on his inspection, we chose to pass on the property. We feel that the thoroughness of his work saved us from committing to more than we could comfortably handle. In the end, our decision came down to a problem which the seller appeared to be trying to cover up – we didn’t notice, but Justin sat and studied the situation, eventually unscrewed a couple things to get to the bottom of it, and uncovered an issue that could have cost us thousands in liability as well as repair costs had we purchased the house and dealt with related issues down the road. Five stars+ Crystal Justin, with Nickelsen Home Inspections was AMAZING!!! He went above and beyond his job description to inspect the home properly. Their rates are very competitive and fair. The printout done onsite was clear, detailed, and concise. I am so happy I chose THIS Company and had the opportunity to work with such a dependable, straightforward, ethical, and trustworthy person. I would and WILL recommend them to friends, family, and anyone looking to purchase a home. When hiring them you will be in very capable hands! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Michelle R. Very thorough and professional. Explained what was critical and what not in ways I could understand. My parents were especially impressed by the onsite inspection report and the instant gratification there helped speed along my real estate transaction. Radon testing also proved invaluable and I highly recommend it if you are buying a house. Candice Thank you again for helping us on our home inspection. You went above and beyond with your generosity and we truly appreciate it. Keith From the very beginning, Justin was very professional. He explained the process, when he would arrive and how long it would take. I really appreciated him taking the time to explain in detail all findings to my daughter who is purchasing her first house. When he found that he was going to be a few minutes late, he called to let us know. There was no stone left unturned and the “priorities” were very helpful. I would use Justin and Nickelsen Home Inspections for any future purchases. Linda P. I called to set up an appointment. I got an appointment for the following day. Inspection at noon, 30 page report with pictures that evening. All by email. Kurt Nickelsen gave me an extensive report pointing out areas that needed attention as well as pointing out features of the house I had not noticed. I was very pleased with his efficiency, knowledge, thouroughness, and professionalism. I recommend Nickelsen Home Inspections, LLC to all. He works hard for you.

He works with real estate professionals I am connected with and I recommend him without hesitation! Charline Wright – Realtor I can always depend on Nickelsen Home Inspection to keep my buyers needs a priority. These inspectors reflect a business philosophy of excellent customer service, giving good information to the buyers, who have hired them, so that they, the buyers can make informed decisions. I am always pleased with the amount of time and detail of their reports. As a real estate professional they make my job easier, by going over the report with the client and making themselves available for questions later. They provide a complete report that includes a pest and dry rot inspection. There is a summary I am able to use to clearly convey to the seller and the seller’s agent any issues we need corrected in order to move forward with the transaction. Not only do they explain to the client what the issue is but give referrals and suggestions on how it might corrected. I am glad to have detailed inspectors on my team; I want my buyers to be happy with their decision for many years to come. |
