What our Clients Say

Eric

Thank you Charlie! I am amazed at the thorough and high quality work that you do. It's a bargain for what you charge. I'll be using your services again when I find a house that will work for me. The other home inspection reports that I've seen are no comparison to your work. They had one-tenth of the information that your report supplied me for the home I was thinking about purchasing. The other reports pointed out problems, but said little more than "you should have a professional evaluate this." Isn't that why you hire an inspector? I got a professional the first time around with your inspection!

Hi Charlie,
I hope you are doing well!
We closed on the house yesterday and have the keys. Now it's time to embark on the remodeling to make the lower level a proper ADU. We value your opinion, and wanted to know if you can refer us to any good contractors for our remodel?
Thank you for all the work you did for us on this purchase and for educating us well. Your high standards and appreciation for quality helped us feel more confident about what we got ourselves into.
Regards,
Duyen

Thanks for the referrals, Charlie!
You are welcome to add my comments to your website, and I will gladly be a reference if anyone ever asks! It was pleasure working with you—almost makes me want to buy another house just to have you come inspect it for us. :-)

Charlie, I would like to once again thank you very much for your outstanding work on the inspection of the xxxxx Street house on our behalf. Our expectations of the inspection you performed were exceeded. The detail and quality of your report will be used by us as a goal for other inspectors we have the chance to do business with in the future. I can not imagine that there was a single thing you didn't cover! We will use your report as guidelines on what we need to do immediately to the house, over the course of the next 6 months as well as ongoing maintenance. Your added background information and photos not only illustrated the issue but educated us as to the correction. Your willingness to share your impressions and knowledge via phone was greatly appreciated. We both feel this was the best money we could have spent! Please feel free to use my name and have any potential customers contact me for a reference. I am more than happy to tell them what a professional, knowledgeable, thorough inspector your are! Thank you for your outstanding work!

How does Charlie, a Seattle inspector, support a home buyer all the way in Pennsylvania? Because of Charlie’s blog, a Pennsylvania home buyer located Charlie online. Charlie reviewed five sample reports from Pennsylvania that were provided by the buyer. Charlie provided his thoughts on the reports and suggested which report was the best. Charlie’s reports are amazing. Does your candidate home inspector use a thermal camera? Charlie is a phenomenal inspector. Selecting a home inspector in Seattle is a no brainer.

After finding a house that we loved, we had to finalize the details for the sale. For the inspection process we chose Charles Buell Inspections since our friends spoke highly of him. Dealing with the stress of making the biggest purchase of our lives, Charles' calm demeanor and thorough examination of the house and lot put our minds at ease. We felt confident that all of the negative and positive aspects of the home were brought to our attention on sight. Twenty-four hours later we received a detailed 84 page summary of his findings which included pictures to clarify the issues being discussed. We were impressed! In fact this inspection report has been almost like a homeowner's manual, which we've used while updating our home. We have now used Charles for both our home and business inspections, and would definitely use him again in the future!
