Home Inspections
My WA home inspection license number is 2302 and I am insured and bonded.
I will inspect all the systems of the home and report: condition of the home’s heating system; central air conditioning system; interior plumbing and electrical systems; the roof, attic and visible insulation; walls, ceilings, floors, windows and doors; the foundation, crawlspace, basement and structural components. Please see the rest of my site: Sample reports, certifications and more.
My service prices depend on Square Footage of your home: Book here:
Allow me one little boast: I will do an "AWESOME" job for you!
Commercial Inspections
Commercial inspections are similar in many ways to home inspections. Yet the components and systems are often just bigger. Depending on the job, I may hire electrical and HVAC professionals to help and I will combine their findings into my report. Commercial inspections often have flat, rubber membrane roofing and I have experience with that style of roofing.
My service prices depend a little less on square footage and more estimation of time I will spend inspecting and who, if anyone, I may need to hire to help. Call me and we can work out the details.
I am a member of the Certified Commercial Property Inspectors Association (CCPIA)
I have experience with commercial inspections. See this sample report:
Well Quality and Quantity Tests
I am testing for: Coliform Bacteria, Nitrate, Lead, Arsenic and Uranium. (this testing is cheaper if done at the time of the home inspection)
This is the standard real estate test in the Tri-county area.
I use Anatek Labs in Spokane
Normal turnaround time for testing with Anatek is around 10 business days.
Rush Services for a cost are available.
You will receive a Chain of Custody Report by email.
Well Quantity Tests depend on the hours needed. Call for more information 509-738-6400 or email at awesomedayinspections@gmail.com
Mold Testing
I test with a mold air quality pump and swabs. I use a lab that gives a Chain of Custody Report.
Mold testing has a lot of variables so please call or email for info and pricing. 509-738-6400 or email at awesomedayinspections@gmail.com

Schedule a Log Cabin/Home Inspection by a certified inspector
"We asked David to conduct an inspection of our log home prior to listing it for sale. Having been in the construction trades and as a commercial site supervisor in the south, I’ve never been much impressed by home inspectors. Now I have. Thank you sir. Excellent job"
"David inspected a log cabin for me in Colville. He was very observant and insightful. He gave me a good idea of the condition of the logs. He was also able to identify major issues that I was not able to notice when I initially looked at the home. I would highly recommend Awesome Day Inspections"
Log Cabin/Home Certification
Log homes require more training and experience than regular sided homes. Logs come with there own set of
problems and deficiencies. Internal rot, wood destroying insects, log setting and more can create hidden problems that a trained inspector might deduce. Often a hidden problem creates a cascading visual deficiency that can be seen in another area of the home. Log homes are meant to settle in place. But did the company allow for enough time before the final tightening of the logs? Hire a certified Log inspector who understands the process of log home development, placement, settlement and ongoing maintenance. Log home inspections add a little more cost to a normal home inspection but that extra time spent is worth the expense.

Infrared Thermography Scanning
Home energy scanning are performed interior and also exterior:
Using a Thermal Imaging camera I will find the cold or (in the summer) warm air entering the interior of the home.
I will also scan the exterior to find all the escaping heated or conditioned air coming from doors, windows and other hidden locations that can not be seen with your eyes. This escaping air is expensive! My job is to help you find where the problem areas are and recommend the right procedure and or the right qualified contractor to repair the problems.
The interior temperature was 70. As you see here
the entering cold air at 37 degrees is an unwanted guest!
Blue areas are cold corners and the window. All normal.
Here is the location of the significant air leek. How could anyone find that? I did and I can do this for you!
Yellow areas are insulation. Blues stripes are the wood framing.
These images were for a client who thought their recently purchased home did not have much insulation. I was able to help them understand, using my thermal camera, that they did have plenty of insulation. I did discover (being a home inspector) that their problem was in the heating of their home and not the insulation. Money well spent they informed me!
