Welcome!

We want you to know that we are offering our service to protect your most important investment; a real estate purchase. Choosing an inspector to represent you should be as important as choosing the best interest rate for your mortgage. If you choose wisely, you can save money. Our inspectors have between 9 and 20 years of home inspection experience and proven ability to represent you. Together we have seen and inspected more than 16,000 homes and are extremely adept at identifying problems or safety issues throughout the home or building. Once we have identified the defects, we will clearly communicate to you as a home owner, seller, or buyer, the order of significance for each issue. We create easy to understand reports with color photos and an easy to understand summary.

Put our experience and skill to work for you. You deserve the best and the most thorough report. Terris, Randy or Matt will be your inspector. All of our inspections are performed with state of the art tools. We utilize the latest computerized reports which are stored on a national network server and available to you online 24/7 in html format.

Our Experience:

 

Terris Hanenburg

I have been directly involved with residential and commercial construction since 1968. My experience as a construction manager lead me into all phases of  construction. I started T&C Services in 1989 to perform repair work on houses that were being sold. After three years, we decided that the inspectors that found these defects were sometimes inaccurate. I decided to apply my knowledge of building systems to become a certified inspector. Growing up in Spokane Washington, one grandfather was a plumber, one a carpenter and my father was an electrician. At Arizona State University I majored in construction management. Since 1992 I have inspected over 5,000 homes and buildings.

 

Jeff Knapp

As a young man, Jeff worked as a painter, an apprentice plasterer and a masonry tender. He then had the opportunity to work with a remodeling contractor doing finish carpentry. With his accumulated experience, he became a home builder constructing homes in King County for 14 years. To better suit his family's needs he chose a career in home inspecting. Over the last 14 years he has performed over 6,000 inspections. Jeff's parents were real estate agents and instilled in him a keen understanding of that industry. While he works out of Bellevue, he ranges far and wide to provide service for his clients and agents.

Randy Purdom

Randy began his long residential career in a Montana lumber yard learning the board foot system. Using this experience, he joined a construction firm that engaged in all stages of residential carpentry. While with his second contracting firm, he helped to complete the historical restoration of the Yellowstone Inn. Upon arriving in the Puget Sound area in 1980, Randy was again employed by a general contractor and later joined a new venture repairing a de-watering crawl spaces and basements. Over time, he experienced several construction injuries which spurred him to enroll in the Construction Management course at Edmonds Community College. After receiving his management and ICBO certification, he was employed in a temporary position by Snohomish County as a building inspector. In 2000, Randy chose to become a residential home inspector and has inspected over 3500 homes. Randy's location in Everett geographically serves everything between I-90 and Mount Vernon.

Matt Goodson

Matt Goodson has been working in the building trades since high school. Early in his career he worked in a door shop giving him an inside view of all the trim and finish carpentry of a home. After working for general remodeling firms he joined Ready National Pest Control where he stayed for 10 years. His next step was home inspection and while building his clientele in that area, he also obtained a Real Estate sales license. Matt is now operating a home repair company and answering all the inspection requests that come in for him from I-90 south.
