Home Inspection Seattle
My name is Mike Veitenhans and I'm the owner and sole employee of the independent home inspection service, MV Home Inspection, LLC. I inspect homes in Greater Seattle, enjoy my work and inspect each home as if I were buying it myself.
I do only one inspection a day. That way, I have the time it takes to do a thorough job and answer all your questions – and I can better meet your scheduling needs.
My inspections typically take from two to five hours, depending on the size, style, age and condition of the home. I provide a verbal summary of my findings when I complete the field work and the written report four to eight hours later.
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 format 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 Inspection
- Insulation/Ventilation Inspection
- Electrical Inspection
- Plumbing Inspection
- HVAC Inspection
- Appliance Inspection
- General Interior Inspection

Here are samples of the two types of reports I offer, both done for the same home so you can compare. The reports are in portable document format (PDF) and require a PDF Reader to view.
