Spring is here? Well, it’s a Central Oregon Spring, anyway. Now is a good time to start checking how your home fared through the Winter. Of course, I wrote a blog post about it. You know the drill: the link is in the bio.

Sun is out, sun shield is out! This weather puts a pep in my inspections! If you see my truck parked in front of a for sale sign with the .fork.inspections sun shield deployed give me a honk! Although, if I’m in the crawlspace I may not hear you. 😜👷‍♂️

Why Home Inspectors Can’t Tell You Whether to Buy a House or Not.

When you’re in the middle of a home purchase, one of the most pressing questions on your mind might be: “Would you buy this house?” It’s a natural question to ask, especially after receiving a home inspection report filled with observations about the condition of the property. However, professional home inspectors cannot—and should not—answer that question directly. https://eastforkinspections.com/blog/

We are back from beautiful British Columbia! There's never enough time to explore it all, so I guess we will have to go back.

East Fork is refreshed and ready to get back at it. We have a few spots left this week if you are in need of a quality, common-sense home inspection. See you out there!

See that purple bar on the right above each month? That’s called an exponential increase in business. I, (Ryan), am super thankful for the support and making East Fork’s 4th year in business the busiest yet.
However, with such an increase there are going to be some growing pains. One of those nuisances is me not being able to answer a potential client’s phone call right away. This makes me sad, because a client may miss out on getting a high quality common sense inspection if they don’t give me a bit of time to call them back. Odds are I was in a crawlspace or giving a summary to the client and their agent. Some of you ask, “Why don’t you hire a call taking service?” Great question! My personal experiences with call services are that they cause more of a delay and can create an impersonal experience, which doesn’t really seem to add any value to East Fork’s business model of being the local guy who can not only inspect your home but can also recommend the funnest Mtn. Bike trails in the area or where to enjoy the best tiramisu.
So with that said, when choosing an inspector don’t base your choice on who answers the phone first. Your home is way too valuable for that. Leave a message, or send a text and I will get back to you usually within a couple of hours. Also, you can check pricing and schedule your inspection online at the link in the bio. Cheers!

One of the most important items inspected still needs to be maintained after you move into your home. It’s time to change those detector batteries!
