Where do you perform inspections in Oregon?

We are licensed, bonded and insured to perform inspections anywhere in the State of Oregon. Our standard inspection fees apply to homes within a 25 mile radius of the Portland city center. An additional fee is added for homes outside this radius. Please call for pricing, if outside our 25 mile radius.

Can I hire you to perform repairs on the house after the inspection?

While Blue Roof Home Inspectors are licensed contractors, and capable of performing most repairs, we do not think it is ethical to perform repairs on the homes we inspect. By limiting ourselves to only inspecting your property, we can ensure a strict independence and objectiveness, keeping your best interests in mind. Similarly, we do not pay real estate agents or lenders for referrals, nor do anything that would jeopardize your well being.
