Years of Experience
Homes Inspected Since 2018
If you need a pre-inspection and are looking around, you've found the right person for the job. Hire Lars, you won't regret it.
Lars performed pre-inspections on multiple properties I considered putting an offer on. Due to the fast-paced nature of Seattle's real estate market, I had to often reach out to him the day before I needed an inspection done, and he always came through. He does thorough work with great pictures and explanations.
I am a first time homebuyer with no real estate experience, and he gave me confidence in understanding what kind of expenses and risks I might run into with purchasing each property. On top of this, I really appreciated his experience as a contractor, which allowed me to understand how much repairs or additions might cost in the future.
My husband and I were referred to Lars by our real estate agent when looking for a home inspection on a property we're in the process of purchasing. Lars was quick and efficient in setting up the appointment, and was there before any of us on the inspection day. He was incredibly thorough and very patient in answering all of our questions. It's an older house with a longer list of items, and he provided really helpful insight while, I'm sure, answering the same question three different ways from nervous homebuyers. His report was delivered the same night with photos. He took what could have been an overwhelming situation and made it really clear and calm. Lars was awesome!

Lars is great! He comes recommended by my real estate agent when I'm about to purchase a new house. Lars is thorough and able to walk us through the issue once the inspection completed. He has a pleasant demeanor, able to adjust and focus on your needs/main concerns. I like how he separates the report into two: summary and detailed reports. The report is also accessible online, making it easier to find them anytime via a link. I highly recommend Lars :)

Lars inspected a home we were wanting to buy and uncovered so many issues that we never even thought about before. He is very detail oriented, provides an objective viewpoint for the buyer, and also was very patient with teaching us about everything since we were first time home buyers and had never gone through an inspection before. I would highly recommend Lars and will definitely use his services again!! Thank you!

Lars is the best home inspector I've ever worked with. He is extremely thorough, professional, and kind. Lars did a great job explaining the inspection results to me and took the time to walk me through every item he noted while we were at the home, and even patiently showed me how to operate the tankless water heater, how to have it serviced etc., and he did this for every item in the home I wasn't familiar with. He produced a printed report by the same evening and took the time to answer all of my additional questions over the phone. All of that was above and beyond, and when I've worked with other home inspectors I have not been provided the same level of service nor been treated with such kindness and patience. I highly recommend Lars and In Depth Home Inspections.
