The Importance of a Certified Home Inspection

Purchasing and maintaining a home is a major investment.  Most people do not have the trained eye necessary to see all that a professional Inspector can see, much less the time to thoroughly go through a home from top to bottom.  Let the professionals at Barkee Inspection Services provide you with the information you need to make the right decision for your future.  If you hesitate to pay for a professional, consider what it may cost you to hire an amateur! 

Health & Safety Emphasized Throughout

Health & Safety is always considered at each stage of the inspection, throughout the entire evaluation process.  We work hard to protect your family.

Doug Barkee featured on Portland TV station KATU

 Doug Barkee was selected for a special "Problem Solvers" segment called "Thinking of buying a home?  Be Wary of tall tales".  He was interviewed and filmed while inspecting a house regarding some of the important aspects to consider when buying a home.  (Note: While the information overall was good, we did not come up with the list or the questions, as we would have selected a few different key points to be aware of, at least from a home inspectors perspective!)
