Orca Inspection Services

Home Inspector

I use 20 years of home inspection and construction experience as well as technical knowledge to look for what the building is telling me - for the large and small red flags that indicate a building system is failing, installed incorrectly, vulnerable or in need of maintenance. Where possible I aim for clarity of my findings; to help you understand what you are buying in both the fine detail and in the larger perspective. In my home inspection services I strive to be honest, accurate, consistent, straightforward and detailed. Read more

    I personally have never received an inspection from Dylan, however being in insurance our customers have received inspections from Dylan on their new purchase.

    I see a lot of inspections, and Dylan obvious attention to detail really reflects in his reports.
    His inspection reports are easy to read, detailed, and he leaves clear recommendations to resolve any concerns. ...

    My wife and I have used Orca Inspection Services multiple times and have been consistently impressed. Each inspection is thorough and we appreciate the detailed follow-up report listing each issue with pictures. Dylan is happy to explain what he's looking for as he performs the inspection, which we found very useful as new homeowners. His past experience in other home building roles and jobs is an additional asset, as he knows exactly what to look for, where corners might be cut, and can confidently differentiate real problems from minor nits. ...

    I've bought houses in the past and had surprises on almost all of them because the inspector (and I) missed things that in hindsight should have been caught. I've lived in my present home for almost 6 years and I've had zero surprises. The items I've had to address were all noted by Dylan during our inspection, which helped me keep an eye on them and plan for the cost of repairing them. If I buy another house around here Dylan will get the call.

    Dylan is a knowledgeable home inspector who takes the time to explain a home's systems. He is a true professional and is regarded by myself and other real estate agents as one of the best and most reputable inspectors in a discerning market.
