Brian's response was prompt and he was flexible so he was able to do the inspection when we wanted it done. His inspection was very thorough and he found many things that needed fixing. His inspection results caused us to walk away from the purchase. We predicted that fixing the house would have cost us a lot of money, and thanks to Brian's careful and thorough inspection, the only money spent was the cost of the inspection itself. Well worth it!

Excellent. Brian was extremely professional and engaging. From the first phone call to discuss hiring his companies services to the final report and close out phone review. Brian was on time to the appointment and did an extensive job inspecting the home. His write up was outstanding. I liked his educational comments and recommendations.

The inspection went very well. We felt the inspector went above and beyond to find any and all good things in the home as well as the discrepancies. It was as if he was inspecting the home for his own family.

Brian was great! The price was very fair. He caught everything from major to minor. He explained everything every step pf the way. Showed pictures as he was working. Responded to questions in a timely manner. He even offered to come check out some stuff once the seller fixed it just to make sure we were really informed. I could not be more impressed with the level of service. My agent loved him, my contractor was impressed with things he called out. Would recommend him to everyone!

See above, for full review.
Description of Work: Home inspection for a home we want to purchase. Although the home is in great shape, there are minor things that Brian noticed. I was there for the inspection. Brian showed me these small items, and told me quick easy fixes we could do ourselves to take care of the problem. These aren't the kind of thing anyone would address with the sellers, they are so minor. It was a very informative inspection. I thought Brian was extremely knowledgeable, and very thorough. If we buy another house in the area, I will call Brian again!

Brian showed up on time and got right to work. He spent several hours on the actual inspection and his meticulous attention to detail resulted in a comprehensive report delivered within 24 hours, complete with great pictures that clearly showed the issues he found. I was impressed with his overall knowledge and how easy he was to understand when it came to explaining these issues (what likely caused them and general advice/suggestions on repair). I highly recommend Base Camp Home Inspection and would hire them again without any reservation.
Description of Work: Having moved into an older fixer upper nearly a year ago, I wanted a more thorough inspection that resulted in a "road map" of repairs to address based on priority.

I have dealt with several inspector in the past. Compared to them Brian is the best home inspector I have ever worked with. His integrity and attention to detailed are the most vital part of service that I got from him. He went through with me on every single finding that I need to know. Not only that he pointed out the findings, he also provided me possible solutions. In my previous home purchases, I dont remember any of my inspector went up to the roof to inspect roof and gutter. But Brian took extra steps to climb up to the roof and inspect everything. In the past, I have been switching inspectors on my home purchases. But this time, I have found the best inspector and I will stick with him on any future home purchase and I highly recommend Brian to any home buyers who are looking for honest, detail, and professional home inspection.

Brian will arrive early to perform the exterior inspection. By the time we got there, Brian was in his routine, getting in all the places you wish you could get into but never do. Any concealed space, interior/exterior, he was in it. He displayed a vast knowledge of his profession and you can tell he enjoys his work. As I stated earlier, Brian SAVED us from buying another home where he found underlining issues and we fully trust his work and opinion. Our inspection went great. The minor issues he found were well documented and photographed. Once we presented the inspection to the buyers, they accepted based on how well the inspection report was written. We are a step closer to our new home with the confidence Brian did everything he could to make sure it was a good, solid and purchase-able home. Thank you Brian for everything. We will continue to pass your name along as well as our RE Agent.
Description of Work: We needed to have a home inspected. This is the second time we have used Brian. He SAVED us from buying a home with underlining issues the first time. So naturally we contacted him again when we found an even better home.

I scheduled Brian with limited notice and he was very understanding of our situation. He was there before us and greeted us very warmly. He was a real professional throughout the entire process and extremely knowledgeable on all topics. Our report was done expertly the next day. I'm completely floored by his dedication. I look forward to working with Brian for years to come.

I cannot express how glad I am we chose Brian with Base Camp Home Inspections as our inspector. I was told by my agent that a typical inspection would take about 1-2 hours but Brian spent over 3 hours, took countless pictures (of both good things and bad), and examined nearly every inch of the house and surrounding property. He pointed out in his report so many things I never would have even considered and really explained what the issues, or potential issues, could lead to. Brian has given us confidence in buying a home because we are now fully aware of what we are buying. I would recommend Base Camp Home Inspections to anyone looking for inspection services.

It went very well he's very easy to work with answering my call late at night as my schedule doesn't allow me to really make phone calls during the day when I'm busy very punctual very professional. Ran me through everything that he looked at things that might be a problem in the future but not right now just kind a little things he showed me that might have to do be done in the future, very great work. Would recommend him to anybody buying a house to give him a call

The inspection couldn't have gone better As a home buyer, the inspection and the inspector help instill trust that you are (or aren't) making the right decision. We felt we could trust the inspection and it helped us feel good about our decision. Everything was well documented and explained and the report was professional a 42nd timely. I have already suggested this service to a colleague.

We recently put our house up for sale but before doing so decided to get a home inspection from Base Camp so we could be made aware of any repairs that may need to happen to expect our home to sell quickly. I called Base Camp because they are a family owned and military friendly business. They give a discount to military families, which in my book is huge. Brian, one of the owners, came out to do the inspection. He was able to schedule us within a few days of our calling and even around our kiddo's nap time. He was very thorough and despite the fact that we were home when he was here, I hardly noticed him being here at all. Also great was that he explained things to us once the report was written, as there were some items/terms on the report we were unfamiliar with personally. the written report even had pictures he had taken and added so we could see exactly what certain problem areas looked like which i had never seen a company do before. that would've been really helpful in a report when we were first time home buyers! we certainly had a much better experience with Base Camp than we did this week when a potential buyer sent their inspectors out, but i'll leave those comments for a separate review! all in all, i would (and already have) recommend Brian and Base Camp to anyone in the greater Puyallup/Tacoma area.

High recommend if you are looking for a home inspector. He was so nice and explained everything in a manor that was easy to understand. The finish report was delivered the next day even though it was a weekend. He was able to get us in quickly and was fairly priced based on what we had seen from other inspectors we had connected. As first time buyers, we were nervous about the home inspection. But he made it a great experience and we left feeling confident in the findings and the job he did.

The inspection couldn't have gone better. I was relieved that there weren't many issues in the home at all and the issues that Brian identified were easily remediated. He was so patient with me, taking the time to explain all of the things I needed to be aware of and making sure that I really understood what he was telling me. Thanks to BRIAN I feel as though I was able to make a very educated decision about my home purchase.
Description of Work: In the process of purchasing a home my realtor strongly recommended a full home inspection. Being someone who doesn't know what thing about what's in or out of code or could be a sign of future problems to come I was very nervous about finding someone trustworthy and thorough. I mean the house is a huge investment. I don't want to end up with a lemon. Brian showed up on time, give me a quick explanation of exactly what he would be doing and got to work.

Brian is amazing! With very little notice given for either inspections we needed to be complete, Brian quickly got us on his calendar. He was punctual, well educated regarding home inspections and what to look for, very easy to talk to and helpful when answering our numerous questions. I was also very appreciative for how quickly Brian provided the very detailed inspection to us with colored pictures and highlighted areas of concern. Reading the report paired with the time Brian took, we were confident that no stone was left unturned. Brian was able to take an otherwise stressful time during the home buying process and make us feel comfortable. I would highly recommend Brian for all home inspection needs.

Very punctual and professional. Brian inspected a home we are purchasing as well as several outbuildings. He had a very thorough inspection and was very respectful. My husband is disabled and he took the time to walk us through every part of the home & outbuildings explaining what he found, as well as recommended maintenance. He filed a report promptly, which helped with our home negotiation. Found a few issues that saved us money as we could outline the issue to the seller and negotiate fixes prior to final agreement on our purchase. We would use him again and recommend to our family and friends.
