Unfortunately, I had a big problem with my inspection, and I cannot recommend this company to anyone. In short, the inspector could not fit through a crawlspace constriction that just beyond it had a bad water leak in a PEX pipe and mold. This damage was not hidden; it was readily visible while crawling through the area. The discovery was incidental, not even part of the planned work. While I'm fortunate the repairs were within my contractor's capability, the incident has caused considerable disruption, delaying our move-in indefinitely and incurring unexpected costs. I understand that not every issue can be found, especially with legitimate access limitations. However, when an inspector claims a space is inaccessible yet it's easily navigable by an average person, it points to a critical failure in the inspection process. I believe a more diligent inspection would have uncovered this problem, and as a result, I cannot recommend this company. The significant oversight has caused a lot of stress and financial burden. update: As I've lived in the home for a little while now, I have found more issues that were not documented in my inspection. While this company is dismissing my leak/mold concern as being in an area they were not able to inspect, there are other misses I wanted to update the review with: 1. Deck missing ALL handrail fasteners, like 150 of them! Deck was unsafe and should not have passed inspection in that state! 2. Fireplace refractory panels severely damaged and in need of replacement 3. Multiple gutter issues with incorrect pitch or missing flashing 4. Another deck that is missing additional reinforcing fasteners, including a bolt that was sheared. In this case, at least it's a simple fix but should have been caught in a visual inspection. 5. Roof line missing drip edge flashing. This could rot the roof in a few years, and I need to make an urgent repair. 6. Roof vents have degraded sealant on rubber boots. This should have been visible even from a ladder (not walking the roof). These were all apparent upon visual inspection and should be issues existing at time of inspection. While nothing on this list is a deal-breaker in and of itself, the cumulative list of issues I've spent the past months working through and discovering more of is tiring. I have missed out on many thousands in seller concessions in addition to my personal time trying to fix these problems myself, or hiring contractors when it's out of my league. read more

Travis was thorough and knowledgeable on our inspection for a 1910 house we were looking to purchase . He also went to bat for us in arguing some Foundation issues, and took the time to answer whatever questions we had. I would highly recommend this inspection company. I am a real estate agent Myself in Texas and very familiar with inspections read more

We were able to get an appointment for an inspection within a week. The walkthrough was very helpful. The information we got was very valuable. Thank you Travis. read more

4 years after TRAVIS HAND's inspection company of our home, we discovered toxic black mold in our attic. Allstate insurance inspector stated it was because of insulation clogging all the attic vents at the time of construction. They predicted mold was there a few years after construction A roofing and mold mediation company also inspected and extended the exact report Rogue Inspection Services originally pledged to work with us, as their very own inspection report stated they did indeed inspect all the vents (plural) in the attic, and there were no issues. According to the experts, that would have been impossible, as they were all hidden and clogged with the original attic insulation, at the time of construction Travis, the owner, was very kind at first on the phone, and pledged he would work with us, which he did not honor. Except to offer us our money back on the inspection. A fraction of the cost we are now looking at I was given an estimate of 15-30K regarding resolution. In addition, once you know of mold, you must disclose it prior to selling in the State of Oregon. That translates to a 20% loss on average, when put back on the market Rogue inspection services did not do their job, and now they are "ghosting" us, as they say. We have been nothing but patient and kind. In fact what I consider fair was significantly less, but not a few hundred dollars. We are disabled senior citizens, and I am terribly allergic to mold, as I am 4th stage, and terminal. Not complaining here, just stating facts. If you need an inspection service, my suggestion is...Keep looking! read more

Travis is newer to the area, but not new to inspection. His fee was reasonable and I was lucky enough to be able to schedule him to come out within 2 days of my initial call. He showed up on time and got the job done in a reasonable amount of time while doing a thorough job. His report is detailed and prepared well, easy to read and understand. He was able to bill me on site and also took the time to walk me through a review of his findings. Given that I don't normally 5 Star until after a return visit, it's kinda hard to do that with a service that is a once over per property. His punctuality, ability to schedule quickly, thoroughness and preparing/presenting the report less than 24 hours from time of inspection are all reasons why he has earned the 5 Star. I would recommend and use him again. read more

Nate provided us with a comprehensive overview of our home providing us with lots of information and several suggestions about what can be done to bring our home up to the level that we want. He showed up on time and was friendly and professional. We received a full report with pictures, suggestions and ranking the issues that needed to be taken care of. I would recommend them highly to anyone who is looking for information about a home they want to buy, sell or just get a comprehensive view about the tasks that need to be handled. Thank you all! read more

I am buying a home in Brooking Or site unseen from CA and relied a great deal on Rogues inspection report. It was EXTREMELY thorough. I used it to guesstimate repair costs, and it allowed me to lower my bid. Jason is VERY knowledgable and I was VERY impressed. read more

They were very thorough and easy to communicate with. They worked with my schedule and gave me a great report!

I received a call on a Friday that the company booked to inspect a house I was in contract for could not provide a sewer inspection. I immediately started phoning plumbers. Either they didn't have scopes or they were booked for a month or more. I was getting desparate. Then I called RIS. I had read a impressive report they submitted in 2020 on a property. Amber was so pleasant and helpful. She booked me an appointment within 3 business days to perform the complete inspection. Even when the invoice was 150.00 more than quoted, it wasn't a problem. We just texted until she figured out she had an error in the square footage. A new invoice was rendered within moments. The inspector, Nate, was pleasant, knowledgeable and friendly. He took the time to review his findings, show me areas of concern, explain what and why items needed attention. Nate also looked at items which concerned me. I received my email report that evening, about 2 hours after the inspection! The report was comprehensive and easy to understand. It included a summary, a detail view complete with photos and description of work to be done and why. These items were sorted into 3 categories: Minor maintenance, recommended and significant safety issues. Plus there was a valuable tool to easily create a credit or repair request addendum which can be seamlessly emailed or texted to your realtor! Not only is this a time saver, it guarntees you won't overlook anything when you are frantic and excited when purchasing a home. I highly recommend Rogues Inspection Service. read more

They are easy to work with and very professional and punctual. read more

Used them 6/9/21 for a pre-purchase inspection for a home in Grants Pass. Efficient, detailed, responsive, reliable, on-time. They went far beyond my expectations with their in-depth evaluation of the prospective home. I paid a little more but well worth. I received a credit from seller based on their work in excess of my fee paid to Rogue read more

Really easy to work with this inspector even from another State. He was quick, efficient and kind of heart. He did a thorough and complete inspection saving me tens of thousands of dollars in heartache and financial loss if I had not read his findings in advance.

I found rogue inspection service here on yelp and I am so glad I did. I am a REALTOR in CA and have had many many inspections done here with clients but when I was moving out of state I had no contacts in Oregon for an inspection on my new home so I had to rough it and hit the internet for someone. I found Rouge here, called and am blown away by their service. I had a glitch in the billing and they worked through it putting me ahead of themselves and while I know I got a discount in the mistake they seemed just as excited for me on that as I obviously was. I didn't get to meet the inspector as I was unable to attend inspection but my son met him and said he was super nice. I got a great report that is VERY thorough with pictures and great layout. I'm impressed. Thank you Rogue Inspection. read more

Travis did my home inspection, termite inspection, and mold inspection when I bought my house in 2018. He was very thorough with his work and explained everything in detail (both in person and within the written report). He offered to have me walk the inspection with him so that he could provide explanation and answer any questions I had along the way. I would definitely recommend Travis to anyone looking for a high-quality inspector! His customer service is fantastic and he goes out of his way to make sure you have a good experience. read more
