Home Inspection Seattle

 

Welcome to my site! My name is Mike Veitenhans. I'm the owner and sole employee of the independent home inspection service, MV Home Inspection, LLC, and I inspect homes for clients in Greater Seattle:

 

  • Buyers who want to know the condition of the homes they're purchasing
  • Sellers who want to know what to do to get their homes ready for sale and
  • Owners who simply want to know how to keep their homes in good conditon.

 

I'm retired from another career and that allows me a "luxury" that many other home inspectors don't have: I do only one inspection a day. What that means to you is I always have the time it takes to do a thorough inspection and answer all your questions, and I can usually better meet your scheduling needs.

 

My inspections typically take two to five hours, depending on the type, size, age and condition of the home. I provide a verbal summary of my findings when I complete the field work and, if you're a buyer, a written narrative report four to eight hours later. If you're a seller or homeowner, you may opt to take your own notes and forego the written report.

 

I've tried "instant" report-generating software but find it lacking in terms of its ability to integrate information and to make the information easily understood. So I use a report of my own design (see "Sample Reports" at the top of the page). My reports are broken down by:

 

  • Grounds Inspection
  • Roof Inspection
  • Exterior Inspection
  • Basic Structural Components Inspection
  • Insulation/Ventilation Inspection
  • Electrical Inspection
  • Plumbing Inspection
  • HVAC Inspection
  • Appliance Inspection
  • General Interior Inspection
