“Isaac McPhee was an all around helpful inspector, we had many questions and he always had answers above and beyond. The inspection report was very detailed and did not miss anything! We will be asking for him our next purchase.”

Total Score: A

Comments: It was fantastic! Isaac McPhee was on time, friendly, honest, and is very knowledgeable. He walked me through the house and pointed out along the way everything that looks good or needs to be fixed. He sent me the pre-inspection report the same night as the inspection- very fast! I would highly recommend Isaac and Strong Foundations on any house inspections.!

Comments: It went very well. Isaac was prompt and explained everything thoroughly. He sent the completed report right after the inspection and followed up as promised. He also included a link to an article on one area of repair that I had questions about. I would recommend him to anyone needing a home inspection!

Review by Tujuana in Auburn, WA (Review from Angie's List)

Total Score: A

Comments: Being a first time home buyer, I didn't know much about what an inspection consists of. Isaac helped make the whole experience a lesson on getting to know my house. First, he arrived a few minutes before our scheduled time and had already started checking out the property before I got there. He was very thorough and knowledgeable about what to look for. He took the time to walk me through areas of concern and gave me great insight on what I should be looking for once I move in. He even had an extra pair of coveralls and asked if we wanted to join him in the crawl space under the house!! I would definitely recommend Strong Foundations Home Inspection to anyone who is buying a home. Isaac's professionalism and friendliness will help ease some of the stress associated with home inspections.

Review by Jen in Bothell, WA (Review from Angie's List)

Total Score: A

Comments: We had a wonderful experience with Isaac and Strong Foundations Home Inspection. He confirmed his appt prior to the date, arrived early, and followed up quickly after the inspection. He was thorough and pointed out and explained his findings. What I really appreciate about Isaac was his ability to tell us what he found, and offer ideas for fixes, without making it sound as though the house was falling apart. We've met too many inspectors who knit picked everything and ultimately made house deals fall apart because they didn't thoroughly discuss their findings with the buyers. Overall, Isaac was very pleasant to work with and I would highly recommend him.

Total Score: A

Comments: Isaac consulted with us by phone and quickly fit us into his schedule. The limited inspection found that moisture was getting in, causing the damage. Isaac pointed out where caulking had failed on the exterior of the window. We hired someone to caulk the window and our next step is a repair to the interior window frame. We won't hesitate to use Strong Foundations if we ever need a full-scale home inspection. We were happy with the inspection work and relieved that we did not have a more serious structural problem.

Review by Wendy in Pacific, WA (Review from Angie's List)

Total Score: A

Comments: Isaac was great. He took his time looking/inspecting every aspect of the home and there was a lot being the home was 108 years old. When he couldn't find the filter on the heater he continued to look everywhere for almost an hour. Isaac was very thorough and still checks in to make sure everything is going good. He is right on it when I email with questions.

Isaac was early to our appointment and was already started the inspection on the outside of the home I was looking at to buy. He was very informative on everything he did and every question we had.

Review by Thomas in Fife, WA (Review from Angie's List)

Total Score: A

Comments: Call to vendor was returned quickly and he worked with builder for access. All systems and construction was inspected, photographed and reported on. Items still being worked on were noted with suggestions to check on after move in. I was really impressed with the detail of the report and photos. 

Dealing with the vendor was very pleasant. He explained and did everything as planned. He was very through and easy to understand as he explained systems. 

He also offered suggestions for the future as the warranty comes to an end. 

Great Company to deal with. I would highly recommend.

Review by Michael in Kent, WA (Review from Angie's List)

Total Score: A

Comments: I am a former real estate agent and I had never seen such a detailed inspection report. Isaac has impressive knowledge of current construction practices. As my home was built in the 1960's I obviously have items that are not designed for current codes. Isaac was able to tell me which things should be addressed and which should be acceptable by a new buyer. He was able to diagnose my large appliances for longevity and over all operability. We had not lived in the house for over 7 years as it was a rental. I was a bit overwhelmed about what to do and the house seemed to need lots of touch up. Isaac helped me clarify what was critical and helped me plot out a course of action.

Comments:

It went better than we could have anticipated. Isaac arrived early and took his time to inspect every detail of the house. His assessment gave us confidence in our decision to buy a very well-built home. It's clear Isaac understands the importance these inspections have for potential home buyers, and his dedication to getting it right and being transparent make him an excellent, trustworthy inspector. I would use him again in a heartbeat, and I will be recommending him to friends and colleagues in the market to buy or sell a home.

He was very thorough with inspecting the house we are buying. He carried on dialogue with my husband the entire time we was inspecting the home, explaining what he was doing and what types of things he was looking for while he worked. He was clearly knowledgeable and honest, and he did a very thorough job. He took photos and made notes in his phone software as he went, and it was impressive that we received our complete inspection report within a couple hours of completing the inspection!

Comments: It went amazing! Isaac was punctual, actually he arrived before I did. He was polite and explained the process in detail. Isaac immediately went to work and inspected every area of our home. He made sure to point out areas of interest to me and explained how he would document it in his final report. 

Isaac answered all questions I had and was extremely knowledgeable. 

I was very impressed with his work.

Comments: My experience with Issac McPhee (sic) at Strong Foundations Home Inspection exceeded all of my expectations. I am a current homeowner of 20 years and am now purchasing the house next door which recently fell into foreclosure and has the same building plans to my current home. Isaac was knowledgeable and courteous, offering several flexible options to meet my schedule and inspection needs. He arrived on time and quickly earned my trust with his expertise regarding every aspect of home inspection; structural, electrical, plumbing and code. Isaac spent hours at the house inspecting with great detail the interior, exterior, attic, roof and crawlspace. Isaac enthusiastically answered my questions as he worked. He used modern technology as he worked taking notes and photos. I received a detailed 55 page inspection report within 2 hours of his leaving the residence. The report contained photos with arrows and detailed descriptions of the issues he uncovered. The report was organized into categories that made it easy to understand Major/ Minor repairs and summaries regarding any immediate or future problems to look out for. I was able to forward the inspection report to my financial officer and real estate agent the same day that the inspection was preformed- they were impressed and pleased with the detailed report. Isaac sent a kind follow up email and even offered to do a follow up report at no charge if necessary. Honestly, It is hard to imagine how this process could have been any better. I would highly recommend this company to anyone in need of inspection services.

Comments: Great customer service from Isaac! Even though the inspection was for a condo, he was very thorough and explained things that he found needed replacing. He even checked the outside and let us know where the emergency shut off's were located. If we ever need an inspection in the future, I will definitely be bringing my business to Strong Foundation Home Inspection.

Comments: I hired this company to inspect my home under the difficult circumstance of having to inspect it and send all correspondence to me while I was out of state. They were pleasant and willing to deal with the inherent difficulties. The inspector went out of his way to call and explain everything that was in the report. There were some other companies that were slightly cheaper, but I selected SFHI based upon reviews, and I have no complaints.

Comments: We wanted a roof inspection from someone who wasn't connected to a roofing company. We got a nuanced report back. Isaac told us that while worn our roof was not showing signed of needing to be replaced now. I liked that he educated me about what the tell-tale signs of a roof in need of replacement are. He gave me cleaning tips that I could do myself. I appreciated his professionalism and friendliness.
