Follow-up inspections
We'd be more than happy to perform a follow-up inspection for you, but we generally we discourage follow-up inspections for a few reasons. If repairs are made to a property based on the results of an inspection, the work should be performed by qualified contractors, not the seller. By qualified, we mean licensed, bonded, state-certified where applicable and with a reasonable amount of experience. Contractors providing repairs should provide legible, detailed receipts, with a warrantee. If repairs are made in this way, then there should be no need for a follow-up inspection. Alternatively, you may want to negotiate a lower sales price on the property and have repairs made by contractors you choose rather.
Additional charges usually apply for travel outside of Kitsap County.
*Structural pest inspections are wood destroying organism(WDO)/wood destroying insect(WDI) inspections conforming with requirements from the Washington State Department of Agriculture.

If you do choose to have a follow-up inspection performed, we request that receipts and/or work orders for the repairs be provided to the inspector, and that you designate which numbered items from your inspection report you wish to have evaluated.
Pest inspections required for some follow-up inspections
On occasion, some follow-up inspections may require a complete, new structural pest inspection. Examples include:
- Evaluating a crawl space after carpenter ant infestation was found
- Evaluating numerous items throughout a structure after a significant amount of time has passed (original inspection in winter, follow-up in summer)
Additional charges usually apply for travel outside of Kitsap County.
| Follow-up inspection | $150 |
| Follow-up inspection with a structural pest* inspection | $250 |
