I decided to make a career change at 40, and spent a number of months thinking about what the next chapter of life would look like. I was motivated to become a GC, to help people transform their homes, so it could be a sanctuary and not a... source of stress. But the idea of doing building inspection came up again and again. Selfishly the turn around is quick so it would help with cashflow while working on larger construction projects, but even looking at it through the lens of being client focused, how great would it be to help people avoid getting trapped in a house that had way more problems than they realized. I got excited about becoming a building inspector, but initially was a little annoyed there are a lot of hoops to jump through in WA compared to other states. Now, having completed the class with Steve and Trevor I'm so grateful for the requirement for in class training and that I picked this school. I've heard some not great stories about the other training opportunities, a lot of which just train to the book. This really was where SGA stands out, first training for the test was done in a great way with lots of real world examples so I have a real feeling of preparedness, but what was more important in the end was how much effort Steve & Trevor put in to making sure we had the tools to become good inspectors. It becomes apparent pretty quick that passing the test is just the first baby step. Through the course we had regular breaks from the text to listen to guest speakers, some with industry knowledge but also some who served more as a business resource, as many of us are going to go on to be owner/operators.I came over from Spokane for the class, it was well worth the time, and if I grow my team in the future and need to get someone trained up I'll be sending them over to SGA Inspection School to have the same quick launch experience I had.read more

Great School! Steven and Trevor have a wealth of knowledge and experience to share. They prepare students not only for the WA liscence test, but share real world experience to prepare newcomers entering the home inspection industry.

Class at SGA Inspection Inc is a great class to learn home inspection. Steve and Trevor are very understanding and both very informative. I got into this class knowing literally nothing about Home Inspection and they took the extra time to... help me study even after class was done with, and always welcome me to contact them for any questions I have. Highly recommended if you are interested in getting into the field of Home Inspection.read more

It only takes a couple minutes of talking to Steve or Trevor to realize SGA inspection school is the absolute right choice. Having taken the course, the curriculum they have put together is top notch! They have really optimized the... teaching to learning ratio with their adaptive teaching styles.The only regret I would have had, is not taking this course. Thank you Steve and Trevor for this huge advantage starting in the home inspection field. JEFF WILETTEread more

I did my research and chose these guys after carefully considering my options and now, after nearly complete their course, I am happy with my decision. These are some of the benefits you will receive from attending their program.1) they... submerse you in the material you need to know to pass the exam;2) they’re practitioners that teach using real-world experience; and lastly,3) they prepare you for the day-to-day, operations side of the business.The primary teacher, Steve, has decades of experience in construction and brings that experience into teaching the material. The guy is an encyclopedia of information. He is very good at relating the material you are learning to real world situations, which mades difficult to understand subject much easier. The other teacher, Trevor, came into Home Inspecting without a construction background; however, with nearly 1,000 inspections under his belt, Trevor brings a necessary element to the program. He’s really good a simplifying the material in an easy-to-understand way and teaching the practical side of the business. My favorite Trevor saying, “if it doesn’t look right it probably isn’t.” If you are on the fence, I suggest giving them a call and asking them questions. They are super professional, and it’s easy to get along with them.On a side note, STUDY the material they assign prior to class. You're required to know an insane amount of material to pass the State exam.read more

In a search for a house we used SGA twice! Each time they were amazing! Ensured to explain every detail in the inspection and made sure we understood what they found and if there were a reason for any concern. They were upfront and honest and crystal clear on codes when it came to housing. The first inspection resulted in us backing out of a mutual acceptance due to what they had found but our... second inspection resulted in us buying a 30 year old home with little to no concern. Further contributing to their levelOf work we unexpectedly had to saleOur home a year later due to relocation for a job. Current buyers inspection came back clean with no concern, again proving the level of standard they exhibit! Thank u for making this process in home buying the least of our concerns!read more

Absolutely wonderful! My husband and I are in the process of buying our first home and really needed a thorough, well explained inspection to help ease our minds through this process. I can honestly say Steve and Trevor exceeded our expectations! They were very kind, were on-site early, explained their findings very well and their extremely detailed report was tremendously helpful!! I will... recommend them to all family and friends. Great team! Thank you!read more
