Chris did an amazing job with our home inspection. We weren't sure if he'd be willing to travel to Portland to inspect our prospective purchase, but given his reputation as a reliable and trustworthy inspector, we are thankful that he was. We were purchasing an older (expensive for us) home and it was important that we knew what we were getting. He spent several hours going through the home from basement to attic, examining every detail. We are very pleased with how thoroughly he inspected every aspect of the home. Chris took lots of pictures and went over them carefully with us, so that there would be no surprises. He is clearly very knowledgable and experienced. I truly think he's seen it all. I couldn't be more pleased with his professionalism and honesty. I would use Chris again in a heartbeat.

Chris Ball did a fantastic job inspecting my future house. He had the inspection printed out there on-site and went over it with me. He allowed plenty of time to ask questions and clarify anything needed afterwards. He was very professional and would definitely recommend him!

There was a reviewer that mentioned Chris didn't inspect their roof fully. That wasn't my experience however, he walked the roof to inspect it. He was very transparent on what he could and couldn't inspect whether it be due to a visual obstruction like ductwork in the crawl space or the inability to inspect certain parts of the ceiling due to an unsafe walkspace in the attic.

I have been working with Chris for over 10 years! He has always provided my clients with the most comprehensive inspection. I love that fact that he spends as much time as needed to go over the information with the clients on the spot.. Not many inspectors will do that and I really appreciate it...

As a licensed, bonded, insured general contractor in the San Francisco bay area, where I have lived for over 30 years, I have had the opportunity to work with numerous home inspectors on numerous dwellings. When I hired your recommended inspector from Home Pro Inspections Inc., Chris Ball OCHI #601, I paid for what I assumed was a complete inspection of the property. I came to find out, after paying Home Pro Inspections Inc. that this was not true. This inspector, Chris Ball OCHI #601, never went onto the roof to inspect but instead "inspected" from the street level. After discovering this major lax oversight, I called him directly and asked why he did not go on the roof. His response was that he had the option of doing his job or basically not. He chose not.

In all of the house inspections I have been privy to, of which there have been many, the first order of business is to get up and inspect the roof. This inspector did not do that. After hiring a solar expert to inspect our roof for possible installation, and taking pictures, I come to find out that the roof here is shot and needs replacement within a year.

It is disheartening to find out that this supposed "professional" failed in his duties to adequately inspect this property, and I am now faced with installing a new roof. This should have been in the inspection report and would have affected the selling price of this house.

This then is a formal request that you, and anyone in your field, find an inspector who can do their job and not assume anything that is not visually inspected.

In short, your inspection company, Home Pro Inspections Inc.has failed to meet any semblance of minimum requirements and should never be depended on for any future quality job. assessments.

I used Chris to do our inspection prior to our home sale. He was very meticulous and his report was easy to understand and read. It was an overall good experience and I will be recommending him to my friends and family.

Chris has inspected several of my clients homes. He is prompt, professional, detailed and efficient. I would highly recommend.

Our realtor used this guy on a house we bought, and he would not crawl under the house to do his job. Fine someone else that has real construction experience.
