They were great to work with. Very detailed reporting which was nice for me as I want to buy a house, but I also want to know any problems I could face.

Definitely do your inspection with SGA! The team was on time, thorough, and left no stone unturned or outlet unchecked. Trevor made sure to help us understand what to expect before they began, and all three members of the team there with us that day were extremely personable and communicative. They did a great job of helping understand the concerns they had and what each finding might mean for us in the future. I felt extremely comfortable with them as well. They came out in the pouring rain on a weekend to help us! They were also very accessible in the following weeks as we had more questions about our report. Can't say enough good things about Trevor, Steve, and Shamus!

SGA Inspection Inc did a great job when they did the inspection. They informed me of anything they found that they could explain at the time. I've done quite a bit of remodeling so I understood most of what they were saying and when I needed clarification they "dumbed" it down without talking down to me. Their written report was the best I've seen, easy to read and understand with pictures to go with everything. Definitely recommend them.

Shamus and Steve come out to do an inspection on a house we are buying and did a great job. They pointed out all major items needing repairs and fixes also the minor things. They also had it done in a very timely manner.

Suzanne Partridge-Lopez

16:05 06 Jan 23

I highly recommend SGA Inspection for your next home inspection. Through their thorough and knowledgeable inspection process, they found significant damage to the foundation of the home I was buying. They also created a clear, organized, easy to interpret report with pictures and video. I loved that they were able to categorize their findings into immediate red flag and expected maintenance. Best $ I spent in the home buying process.

Shamus inspected our soon-to-be home in a timely and thorough manner. There were a few minor issues he found and we are grateful for his expertise! Our realtor had a hunch about the plumbing issue not getting resolved so she asked him to come out again for a look which he did free of charge. That is going above and beyond and we will soon be happy homeowners once again. Thanks Shamus and team!!

Megan Valentin Thompson

20:45 03 Nov 22

Christina Foister

20:12 26 Oct 22

Trevor and Steve are incredibly friendly, helpful, informative and efficient. They allowed us to follow them around while they inspected everything which was very fun and fascinating. The thermal camera (liquid lava) is very neat to see! They had our report to us the next day, impressive considering the amount of information you receive. Very satisfied with their opinion on our first home!

Debbie Graves

04:04 19 Oct 22

The inspectors saved the sale of our home with their extensive well inspection to prove there were no issues with our well or the water quality. The buyers had hired Top Notch who are not fully qualified to conduct a well test. SGA got us on their schedule quickly and provided necessary tests to show buyers there are no issues with our well. So appreciative of their services. Highly recommend them.

Cherylene Mays

22:46 18 Oct 22

Were first time home buyers and were a little clueless how home inspection worked. SGA was absolutely great! They really helped us understand what theyre purpose was, were very thorough, and took time to answer all of our questions! After getting the report back is was really well layed out and clear! Highly recommend!

Jeff Warren

04:36 14 Oct 22

Everyone we dealt with a SGA was extremely responsive and very professional. Work was very thorough and turn around time was minimal. They were punctual and highly knowledgable in their field.. Conveyed honestly expectations and did not hide any details so that the product received was what they promised to delivery. Highly recommend SGA to anyone who needs their services. Will use them again in the future. Thank you Shamus, Trevor and Steve..

SGA was awesome! They were very professional and arrived on-time. They explained all information that was going to be included in the inspection report and also had the report to me on the same as the inspection. They were a pleasure to work with and I'm very satisfied with the quality of the inspection.

Elizabeth Kudelka

23:13 30 Sep 22

SGA did an exceptional job with our home inspection. They were able to complete the inspection in a very timely manner and had the results for us the same day. The inspection was very thorough and eased our anxieties about purchasing a property from out of state. I would definitely recommend them to anyone purchasing a property.

Lucy

18:39 29 Sep 22

These guys were AMAZING! I felt like they really cared about getting me all the info and making sure I had all the knowledge about the house before moving forward. It was a peace of mind I didn't realize I needed.

Matt Lenn

15:41 28 Sep 22

SGA representatives we’re awesome to work with. They were friendly. They were thorough and they were extremely knowledgeable in inspecting my house and my well. I will use them again in the future and I recommend them to everyone I know.

Jim Harksen

20:07 27 Sep 22

I used SGA for a home inspection and I was impressed with the result. They were professional, efficient, and knew what they were doing. They did a number of inspections for me. They tested the well, took water samples, checked the foundation, evaluated electrical, and everything else. Highly recommended.

Teresa Miller

15:45 20 Sep 22

Very timely knowledgeable and excellent communications. Reports are thorough and readable with excellent detail. Highly recommend as they are also friendly.

Melissa Hunt

21:34 17 Sep 22

SGA was a great choice for our home inspection. We were able to get the inspection scheduled on the timeframe we needed. They were right on time for our appointment and were very friendly and helpful. They explained what we would see in the report before we received it. They were very knowledgeable and thorough. The turn around time to get the inspection report beat our expectations. We don't need home inspections completed very often, but when we need another one, we would use SGA again!

Robert Drake

20:47 17 Sep 22

As a first time home buyer, the inspection process can be intimidating. The team at SGA inspection not only walked me though the inspection but explained what they looked for and offered further details while answering my questions along the way. I received a well laid out report of findings with plenty of pictures all within a few days of scheduling the initial inspection, I will continue to use and recommend SGA in the future.

C O

17:25 14 Sep 22

We used SGA inspections for our home inspection and were extremely happy with them. The company was responsive and easy to work with and there were no billing surprises. The team of inspectors they sent out were very thorough and professional. They saved us almost 15k in undisclosed issues, and we were really happy to see that they used camera scopes and thermal imaging during the inspection. We feel very confident moving into this home purchase thanks to their dedication to top-notch service.

Lynnette Donner

17:20 09 Sep 22

We had an exceptional experience with our inspection with SGA. Trevor and Shamus were both very professional, responsive and did everything to make sure we had a very efficient and fast turn around. What I liked best was the time they took prior to inspection, after inspection with follow-up questions and especially during inspection when they took the time to explain and show us what we needed to know. Great job, great team from beginning to end!!!

Monte Pascual

22:06 07 Sep 22

Trevor and his associate completed all the required list to inspect in a timely manner. They both worked in very professional way with care to the buyer. Their company 'SGA' is highly recommended to others.

Wayne Buchanan

16:11 07 Sep 22

SGA inspections offered a very professional and timely service; they were there before my partner or I arrived and had already begun inspecting the surrounding property. They educated us every step of the way on what needed fixing on a scale from minor to major and showed us why. For example, in one instance they showed us staining of the ceiling in the attic and elucidated what it could mean, but also showed us evidence to the contrary. They were very educational and helpful throughout the inspection.After the inspection was over, at the start of the next day they sent us an inspection report. We were able to use that report to negotiate what needs to be fixed in the house, or what needs to be addressed. I thank them for their quality... reports, as they highlighted many things that my partner or I, and our agent, overlooked. They are detailed in their inspection and very observant.I highly recommend them. They were very quick but thorough, and very educational to us as first time homebuyers. Overall, I will definitely utilize their services in the future.WBread more

Lauren Snyder

Hands down the best people to work with! I've never seen a more detailed inspection report and it was super easy to navigate. I would highly recommend them for any home/property you need inspected, they go above and beyond! Best of the best is what you will always get from them!

Tina Nance

00:48 11 Aug 22

I really appreciated the fact that they didn’t talk to me like I was stupid. This is the first time I’m buying my own home and didn’t know the process. They explained what they were doing, what they were looking for, and the positives and negatives of their findings.Absolutely recommend them.

We have used SGA services on 3 separate occasions. They have been great every time. The reports were thorough and aided my wife and I in planning our next steps for purchasing houses. They not only took time to talk to us, but they also spent time to ensure we were well educated in what they were seeing and evaluating. I have seen very few services in any industry that I would rank as high as SGA. They are in a class of their own. Thanks guys!

Sandra Davis

Laura Lopez

21:22 21 Jul 22

SGA Inspection was highly professional and thorough in their inspection. They walked through even the minor issues and POTENTIAL issues that would need to be addressed at some point in the future. Their knowledgeable inspection and subsequent report allowed me to make not only informed decisions, but also a solid plan moving forward. I would highly recommend them for any services they provide.

Mike Lasch

Ted Combs

15:20 20 Jul 22

It might have been overkill, but I wanted a thorough inspection of a single wide mobile home before I bought it to renovate. SGA treated it like a million dollar home. They were extremely thorough and helpful answering all my naive questions. Their post inspection report has been invaluable getting the home renovated.

Caitlyn McFarland

23:04 10 Jul 22

Morgan Reisdorfer

00:59 07 Jun 22

Shamus and Trevor inspected a house that my fiance and I were looking forward to buying. They were prompt, timely and very knowledgeable. They showed my fiance and I the issues that they found with the house and offered to discount our next home inspection after they found several major issues with the house we were looking at. Furthermore, they were in the process of inspecting the house well before the time that was set to meet us, which may be professional courtesy, but I found to be helpful. Overall, a great experience.

Chris Brooks

21:39 06 Jun 22

The SGA team inspected our home with precision and professionalism. Beyond that, they did so with pride. Walking through and around the house made me feel pride in the home we are about to purchase.I would highly recommend any buyer, seller, or agent to use SGA's services.

Gregory Beckman

18:46 06 Jun 22

Hanna Anderson

04:21 24 May 22

We had the pleasure of working with SGA Inspection Inc on the initial pre-inspection of our prospective home, and a return Well inspection after closing. I am so glad they were the first company I called, being new to the area and not having any local recs. In this market, there is almost nothing fun about buying a home, but SGA made the inspection experience enjoyable, educational, and efficient. They brought the right mix of friendly and professional. Their initial review of the home made us confident in moving forward; I felt reassured by their knowledgeable approach to the work, teamwork style, and honest opinions and recommendations. The teamwork approach gives the benefit of more efficient timing, and also multiple sound opinions in one... session, without having to call anyone else for additional input - all at a reasonable cost. They were very responsive and communicative throughout scheduling, (they actually answer the phone when you call/text!), were readily available for last minute appointments, (they even fit us in on a holiday), and seemed genuinely happy to show up and do the work. I would certainly recommend them for anyone looking for an inspection team, and would happily work with them again myself for any future home adventures. Call these guys, you won't regret it!read more

Frederick Jones

09:59 19 May 22

SGA inspection was recommended by our realtor. Seller prevented the inspection prior to closing and after Trevor completed the inspection I now know why. We requested the inspection after the closing. I didn’t want any surprises so the inspection was scheduled the following week. I was still in Hawaii so the meet and greet was handled by my housemate. Trevor showed up on time and began a very thorough job of checking out our house. He went through way more than I was expecting and answered every question that I had. This man was on top, under, through and around every part of the house. He found issues that needed immediate attention, items that would need to be addressed and normal maintenance jobs that we would have to get to when we had the time.... Items ranged from life threatening to basic upkeep that every house will need. Trevor was easy to work with and very knowledgeable regarding all parts of the house. His recommendations were very helpful enabling us to make this house our home. We now have a safe home and a prioritized list of items to take care of. When the report came back I was thoroughly surprised at how much information was included and how easy it was to understand. Pictures that were included left no questions as to what the issues were or where they were located. Overall the inspection was well worth the cost! The value is way beyond the price. Everything was beyond my expectation’s and I am very happy with SGA Inspection. Job well done! Thank y’all for your assistance. Your services are much appreciated.

My husband and I decided to buy an older home that needs a makeover so I was nervous for inspection. These guys were great and thorough also had friendly attitudes during the process. I would highly recommend them.

Caitlin

13:11 08 Apr 22

The school is a scam. I was extremely disappointed and everyone I took class with expressed the same feelings. You do NOT get your license and you do NOT get field training. They took us to another students house for an hour, nobody learned much, and they claimed it to be the field training. The rest of the class is just reading the book and taking tests. I went in with a lot of false hopes from the program. It's also not a gig you can go get started right away. You have to start your own business. Which I didn't know before I started. I wanted to work under someone for a little while to gain the knowledge and experience before starting my own business, but that's not how it works in this trade. As a single parent with little money, I hugely... regret using my savings for this school. It was a huge disappointment and nothing you think it is going to be.read more

After deciding which school I will attend when pursuing my new career in home inspection I’m glad I chose SGA Inspection. Steven and Trevor are very helpful and knowledgeable in the field. In the three weeks of school they throw a lot at you and it can seem overwhelming but they are always there to answer your questions and help you out as much as possible. They are there not only to help you pass the exam but also help you succeed in your new career. I’m very grateful to have attended SGA Inspection school and highly recommend utilizing them as well if you want to pursue a career in home inspection.

Rusty Cox

19:30 24 Mar 22

The instruction that was provided was one of the best training classes I have ever attended, the use of multiple sources for the information was above and beyond what was needed or expected. The Instruction from KNOWLEDGEABLE working inspectors was an invaluable resource for me. When i did struggle they were very helpful and understanding. I personally learned as much from the experiences of the instructors as I did from the courseware provided. I would hardily would recommend to everyone without reservation. Money well spent.

SGA Inspection, has the best Home Inspector course around. The vast knowledge Steve and Trevor have about this industry, is truly a benefit for any potential student. The course structure falls inline with WA home inspection guidelines, backed by actual home inspection reports/pictures. An absolute professional organization!!! Recommend to all.

This school was absolutely phenomenal. Steve has an immense knowledge of the home building industry from decades of experience, and Trevor's business and professional mindset complement perfectly. Between the two of them, they answered my questions with detail and patience, and went well above and beyond what a HI school is required to provide. The cost of an HI class is no joke, and Steve and Trevor really put effort in to make it worth the student's while. Can't say enough here, I am fortunate to have encountered SGA.

Steve and Trevor are very educated in their profession and it shows in their teaching. School hours are reasonable, location is great. I enjoyed their teaching strategy and information they shared.

I am so glad I decided to enroll at SGA Inspection. I did as much research as I could find to find the right school for me.Steve Abbott and Trevor are a great team for great instruction. Steve has an extensive General contractors experience that allow him to teach us the backgrounds on many regulations of building.Trevor has great business background that helps us to use this new information to organize it and utilize it with business sense.What I really enjoyed is visiting trainers and inspectors who come in as teachers themselves but also successful practicing inspectors who take time out of their own busy schedule to help teach us to understand the latest information and what they do that make them successful.If you are looking for the... right school with the right instructor who have the right connections to board members, trainers, mentors then this is the right school for you!Hope this helps you decide where to enroll.read more

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.

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 WILETTE

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

As an individual switching careers mid-life whom all the subject material seemed daunting, Steve and Trevor provided an excellent learning experience. The course was broken down into digestable parts by course topic which felt doable to me even though I am green. I also appreciate the various ancillary subject matter experts who volunteered thier time and shared thier experience. One recently graduated business owner who spoke was particularly helpful and was relatable. I highly recommend this course and am excited about my future career!

Jarrett Ferris

You can receive inspection training in lots of different places and ways, what sets SGA above and apart is the immense amount of shared experience and knowledge between Steve and Trevor who add value to their training well above and beyond what you need simply to pass the licensing exam. These two actively work each day of class to help train ever better inspectors, and have been quite successful in doing so. Would highly recommend to anyone looking to start a career in home inspection!

I have been in construction for 28 years and have been interested in becoming a Home Inspector the last few years, I looked at the different schools out there and choose Washington Home Inspector Training, I definitely made the right decision. Steve and Trevor are passionate about the home inspector trade. The course work is very good and I learned a lot of things. I would say the best thing about the class is their willingness to help you succeed, they are happy to answer questions . Thank you very much!

After 30 years in the construction business, I decided I wanted to start going in a different direction. After much research I decided on Washington Home Inspector Training. I am so glad I did. Steve and Trevor do an incredible job of relaying the information needed to not just pass the test, but to have a strong foundation to build the business. The field training was thorough and detailed. Making the decision to become an inspector takes a commitment, Steve and Trevor respect that. I would highly recommend their course to anyone considering becoming an Inspector.

SGA Inspection Services & Training LLC. is very professional in every aspect. From day one as a student I have been learning at a fast pace. Classroom time is a good balance of personal study, and Instructor group training. Small class sizes (5-8 students) contributes to personal one on one time with either Instructor. The balance of Steves' long time exper (over 30 years in the construction industry), mixed with Trevors' youthful enthusiasm & technical savviness, brings an overall thoroughness that cannot be beat.

Mike Johnson

SGAInspections was a fantastic find. Steve & Trevor do a tremendous job at inundating the student in all the info needed to become a great home inspector. Included in the coarse is the exposure to the software products used by inspectors as well. Teaching each student the process of going out to the home site, executing the inspection and then finishing the report for the consumer. They have been a great resource for me as I launch this new venture. Thanks Guys.... Mike

I recently attended Washington Home Inspector Training and was thoroughly impressed from start to finish. WHIT's facility was comfortable and I was impressed by use of multimedia technology to present course material. Syllabus was in line with national home inspector standards and tailored to passing the WA state inspector test. They nicely balanced coursework and practical inspection content. I enjoyed the small class size that allowed for more than adequate personal attention.I have no reservations about recommending Washington Home Inspector Training's course to any prospective student. Without attending this course I highly doubt I would have been as prepared to successfully pass the state exam let alone feel as confident to start my own... inspecting business.read more

After researching several companies online that provide home Inspection training, including phone conversations with several people who have attended the other vendors for training, it was obvious SGA was the right choice. Steve and Trevor have developed a first class training experience. From the very first inquiry about the training to the completion of the class, there has been no doubt in my mind I made the right choice. SGA training is set up in an actual classroom not some random rented motel room. SGA instructors are present every minute of your training to assist you. If you are looking to start a buisness or are just thinking about it, I have no doubt after talking to Steve or Trevor you will be confident they are ready to assist you with... building your future as an Certified Licensed Home Inspectorread more

Steve and Trevor were easy to work with and translated their own experiences to us students in a clear and easy way to understand. The class not only included the knowledge base required by Washington state but also other facets of the home inspection business like marketing, equipment etc. The schedule worked well with my schedule.
