About us
At Tri Cities Home Inspections, our sole commitment is to you-our valued customer. Our unbiased and fair report will contain the most comprehensive evaluation possible. We look forward to showing you exactly what caliber of dedication and commitment we have. I pride myself in making sure that you are well informed about the purchase you are making as to the structural soundness of the home all the way down to a light switch not working properly. I inspect every home with fine detail. I leave no stone un-turned. I work for you, the Homeowner, not a realtor. Because you are the buyer and its your hard earned money that will go to purchase the home that you and your family should be safe and happy in for as long as the home fits your needs. Buying a home is probably the the most expensive purchase you will ever make. Don’t trust your family's safety and investment to just anyone.
My son said it the very best in his review: Ken is a true professional: extremely knowledgeable, competent, thorough, personable, loves his job and, most important, he is looking out for you and your interests. Not only is his final report and photo documentation comprehensive and timely, but his generosity of time and any advice is invaluable. You couldn't ask to be more informed about the property you own or are planning to purchase. Call on Ken with complete confidence!

I recently had my roof replaced and paid the contractor in full after completion of the job as it looked O.K. from the ground. I am disabled and could not get up there to inspect the workmanship myself. Later I noticed some defects and so I hired Ken to do a roof inspection. He came out promptly and did a thorough inspection. By the next day I received a detailed written report and about 76 pictures of the poor workmanship on the new roof by the contractor. Ken said it was probably the worst job he had ever seen and recommended that the new roof be replaced. So we sent the report and pictures that I received from Ken to the roofer. We met the roofer shortly thereafter and the contractor agreed to give us a full refund rather than fight us in court because the report and pictures were indisputable and demonstrated without question the poor workmanship by the contractor. Ken exceeded my expectations. Lesson learned: Hire Ken before you make final payment to a contractor.

This is the second time I have hired Ken from Tri Cities Home Inspection. His attention to detail, customer service, politeness and knowledge the first time I worked with him made me only think of him for the second house I needed his services. When I called the second time he was able to schedule me in for the following day. As before, he was polite, answered all of my questions and went above and beyond! I would recommend him to any one who needs a home inspection in the Tri-Cities area of TN/VA!

Ken was very thorough, worked with us to get the inspection done within the desired time frame and reported his findings quickly so we could act on them. As an out of town buyer his services were invaluable.

The was inspector was very thorough, and gave me 116 pics general and detailed of the items he found. I had a few questions , and called him, and he explained everything I asked in detail and pretty much went over thr whole inspection . I was very pleased with his prompt service and attention to detail. I would definitely use him again if I have the need for another home inspector, I felt like he kept us from facing some possibly big ticket items in the future .

Ken is the shining standard others need to follow. His communication, friendly personality, and professionalism is refreshing. Customer service was A+!!! Ken took time to explain the inspection with easy to understand language. The final report was awesome. It had detailed information and photos to help us prioritize our list for negotiations for our home purchase. I highly recommend Ken!

Ken responded quickly and professionally. He walked through the property after his inspection, and showed my husband and I what he found at the areas of concern. We never felt rushed, he took the time and answered all of our questions. Ken emailed us the detailed report that afternoon. The report included photos with a descriptions of where or what he was looking at, along with several page written report. I've used other home inspector but none that was as thorough as Ken was. We highly recommend Ken for home inspections and we will definitely hire him again.

Ken's experience was evident, and he provided a great service. He walked us through and pointed out both the minor and more significant problems. Not only that, he provided recommendations on how to fix the issues he found. The report he sent us included pictures and a detailed list of everything that needed to be fixed (minor and major) and was delivered on the same day of the inspection. Plus, he is very nice and personable guy and will shoot you straight. I would highly recommend him for home inspections. You may find a cheaper person out their, but you get what you pay for. If you want someone to just hurry through the inspection and be out of your hair in an hour or so, Ken isn't your guy. However, if you want a detailed evaluation of your home, Ken is your guy. Definitely, worth the money.

Definitely made a home inspection no sweat for me! I’m a first time home buyer and didn’t have a clue why to expect but he was very thorough and took a lot of photos to make explaining things a lot easier as well. Then he even took time out to walk through home and actually listen to my remodeling ideas and help me make suggestions on how to get things done best ways possible for my new home ! Great service and will be sharing Ken Kotowski’s name with everybody I know for home inspection services. 5 star rating from me !
