Marissa was very professional and super detailed with the inspection. After the inspection we asked about a very minor defect of the flooring. To our surprise, Marissa did notice it during the inspection, and explained to us what would have caused the defect. She also went through in length what she had found otherwise. We received the report later that day, and we like the detail and the many educational sections explaining different aspects of the house. We are very satisfied with the experience! read more

As a Buyer's Agent, I have used True Home Inspections over and over. The last 4 were performed by Amanda and have been impressed with her skills and knowledge. The best part is that all of my clients love her! And a quick shout-out to Marissa too...as she did the home inspection for my personal property in NE Portland. Ya'll are amazing! read more

Amanda did an outstanding job on our home inspection. As first time home buyers, we've been very anxious throughout the whole process. Amanda took the time to go over the largest issues they found in the report while we were at the house which I really appreciated. The report is incredibly detailed and gives us a good to-do list and maintenance list for the next few years. Thank you for making us feel at ease moving into our new-to-us home. read more

Amanda is an absolute professional with a casual way of explanation that makes you feel at ease - even through the scary parts. She should have her own show on HGTV. Seriously. Her final report was so impressive to us as the buyers. We had been on edge about our big move to Portland and are in love with the house she inspected for us. Her photos, diagrams, video clips and oft amusing commentary could not have been better. She is amazingly thorough in her explanation of good things, great things, bad things and REALLY bad things. But each section is followed by a remedy, if needed. Thank you, Amanda! Give her a shot. You won't be disappointed. read more

Amanda arrived on-site with her team a few minutes earlier than our appointment to ensure that everything was prepped for the inspection. Throughout the process, Amanda explained in laymen's terms different assessments and proper fixes/recommendations as detailed in her final report. During the inspection, she would rate items that should be tackled immediately, things to be prepared for (Our AC unit will probably have to be replaced next summer) to "nice-haves", which were non-critical but useful side-projects when time and money allowed us to. At the end, a complete PDF was provided with even more details than communicated orally, as there was copious documentation throughout the inspection. Thanks again Amanda! read more

Most thorough and informative home inspection we have seen! Marissa was extremely knowledgeable on the construction methods on our 1911 home and gave us great recommendations. Highly recommend True Home Inspection for future home purchase inspections! read more

My electrician friend recommended True Home inspections, and I'm so glad I went with them. Kind, thorough, and super responsive. Even my realtor was impressed! Also at one point Amanda said "Sheds are made for mystery. I'm pretty sure I'm going to emblazon it in a "Live Laugh Love" font on the side of my rusty structure. read more

I would 100% recommend and Amanda and True Home Inspection! She did an amazing and very thorough job. She provided us with a very detailed and color coded list of items and/or needed repairs in the home. She made very clear items that needed attending to in red, and then orange etc. She made clear repairs that needed a professional, handy man or could be done DIY. Further once we received the inspection report we were able to schedule a call with her to go over questions and get even more advice and information where it was needed. She even provides an amazing directory of local contractors to work with when the time comes. I cant thank her enough and say how good it feels to be buying a home that has been so thoroughly inspected. Thank you!!!! read more

Amanda is a super thorough and concise inspector! She created the manual care guide for the house we want. The inspection is easy to read and understand. She also has a great list of women and BIPOC contractors you can contact for various repairs. read more

We loved working with Amanda. She is very professional and thorough, and her final report was very detailed with suggestions for remedies/improvements on findings. Amanda makes the process easy from the initial payment through to the final inspection report. Amanda was able to point out and explain the major issues on-site, and then later provided an easy to understand PDF with pictures, videos, and explanations of everything she found down to missing hardware on the doors. While the home inspection process can feel daunting, Amanda's demeanor is such that she presents all the information in a way that makes it feel manageable. She made the process a whole lot less scary. Highly recommend. read more

There's a lot to stress out about when you're facing buying a new home - but most of that is fear of the unknown, and Amanda did an excellent job of examining, documenting, categorizing and demystifying the myriad of little issues that come with being a new home owner. She was on time, she was thorough, her findings are easily accessed and understood, and in person she is delightfully easy to talk to. Hopefully I won't need another home inspection any time soon... but if I do, I know exactly who I'm going to call. read more

Amanda is awesome. Professional in every way. As a real estate agent who has worked with many different professionals, Amanda stands out. She is highly communicative, responsive, and easy to work with, both for me, and for the clients I recommend to her. And as for her ability to inspect homes? She is fantastic. She does a thorough and honest job evaluating the condition of the home. She does not downplay issues, nor does she present major issues as catastrophes -- she presents the condition of the home as fact, nothing more, nothing less. Furthermore, her reports are detailed, clear, and easy for clients and agents alike to read. Amanda is also personable, and has a great sense of humor. I like to make my job fun, and I can tell she feels the same way. read more

As a first time homebuyer, going through this process is very stressful and daunting. Amanda inspected our future home and was so amazingly thorough and detailed about every part of the home and found so many things that even the seller was unaware of! I cannot recommend Amanda enough! Such a great job that will help protect us future homeowners and keep us safe living in the property moving forward. A++++ read more

Amanda Sprinkling-Felt came recommended by our real estate agent to inspect our new home. She was very thorough, detailing the necessary fixes and provided great recommendations. Amanda made the inspection processes seamless and had our final inspection report sent to our emails and ready to view within less than 24 hrs. She detailed everything on the report and it was very easy to follow. We're so glad to have got connected with her & highly recommended her for any of your inspection needs! read more

I have used True Home Inspections twice now in less than a month and am very happy with the services they have provided us. Due to Amanda's inspection report on a house we had under contract, we decided to walk away after the house had a lot of underlying issues that would have added up quickly. So, the thorough report that was provided saved us from buying a money pit. The second inspection was just done by Marissa on a new build we are purchasing and again stellar service and a complete report was received very promptly. Luckily nothing too major, so we should be on track to close on this house in a couple of weeks. I will be using this company in the future for all my home inspections and would highly recommend them to anyone! read more

Amanda was excellent to work with! Her attention to detail is best in class and she truly cares about identifying every single issue (big and small) for her customers to make sure they know everything that needs attention. We had the pleasure of working with her on our first home purchase and we were definitely in good hands. Her communication was on point and was able to help us inspect the house in a very short notice. 10/10 recommend for anyone looking for home inspections around the Portland area! read more

Amanda is an absolute gift to the home buyers and homeowners of Portland. Her skills are unmatched but I can sum them up as so--thorough, knowledgeable, reasonable, and kind. Let's break it down: Amanda conducts an incredibly thorough inspection on every home regardless of appearance and age--from new construction to 100 year old Victorians--she inspects it from crawl to roof and everything in between. Most folks only get the opportunity to work with a home inspector once or twice in their lifetime. I'm lucky enough to be able to say that Amanda's work is consistently great because I work with her and see her reports on a monthly basis--at the very least. Her inspection reports include helpful photos, videos, and links to important information. A savvy homeowner might use her report as a checklist to get it up to near perfect standard; Amanda includes just about everything that needs maintenance, monitoring, or replacing. Amanda is also no stranger to what a typical home of just about every vintage in Portland will look like when you peel back the layers and venture into the crawlspace and she is familiar with the common maintenance issues in this region. Her verbal reports to buyers are measured and put things in context--inspections are often scary and intimidating for buyers, particularly if they have nothing to compare it to. Amanda makes sure buyers know exactly what condition the home is in but also what condition most homes of this age are in that way buyers can make an informed decision about the investment they are about to make. She is happy to follow up with a re-inspect or a question about the report that may arise later. Amanda also always has great referrals to folks all over town and beyond who do amazing contracting and repair work. Lastly, Amanda is an all-around delightful person and makes an effort to be a human first, inspector second. That's why she is my go to inspector. Hire her! read more

As first time home buyers, the entire process has been overwhelming and slightly terrifying, but Marissa and Erin at True Home Inspections were shining beacons in the black skies of our confusion. They explained everything in an easy to understand way, and made us excited to learn about our possible home. Will absolutely use them again if needed read more

Amanda was so quick to schedule with, respond to questions and provided excellent service.

Marissa was quick to respond, very informative and easy to work with. The inspection documentation was thorough while easy to read. I would be happy to work Marissa again. read more

The home buying experience can be stressful and as a first time buyer, the home inspection can be especially intimidating. I hired Amanda to inspect a home I was in contract with and I wouldn't have had it any other way. Working with Amanda was a delight. She is extremely thorough, clearly knowledgeable and a wealth of resources. The home inspection report was detailed, clear, and organized. She is professional, approachable and accessible. She followed up after the inspection and was available for my questions when the arose. I will be recommended her and hiring her in the future when I have the chance. read more

True Home Inspections were the best home inspectors we have ever worked with! We were moving across the country and weren't able to attend our inspection in person. Inspection was easy to schedule and they worked with our realtor and home seller to get the inspection done quickly. The online report was incredible - easy to access and search, and full of very helpful information. The report covered potentially serious issues and issues likely requiring maintenance, as well as points of interest the inspector found - like doors that ran into each other and a hidden water filter. I would highly recommend True Home. read more

We are moving to Portland and having Amanda be able to go over the issues over Zoom was really helpful. The web format of the report is so much easier and responsive to go over the issues. Love the directory of women/BIPOC/LGBTQ to help us utilize some of these in the future. read more

Amanda is an absolute pro. I am so appreciative of her thorough approach to home inspection. From start to finish, Amanda's expertise was evident. I am grateful for how and when she communicated her process, even reaching out directly the morning of the inspection to see if I had any particular concerns about the house. I would not hesitate to ask Amanda to complete a home inspection in the future! Truly, A+. Thanks, True Home and Amanda. read more

Amanda was an exceptional home inspector. As a first time home buyer, she took the time to explain everything she found and recommend next steps. Her report was thorough and organized. I would highly recommend Amanda. read more

We absolutely loved and appreciated the level of professionalism from Amanda. She was very knowledgeable on many areas. We felt really good about how easy it was to understand the results. The color coded levels of importance on the final report for repairs and possible issues was VERY helpful. She was beyond thorough in explaining things and providing additional help with answering questions. Amanda was easy to talk with and had a wonderful level of customer service that was comfortable and calm during typically what would be a very stressful situation being part of the home buying process. We will definitely be referring her to family and friends. Thanks Lora & Pat :) read more

Amanda was very helpful and thorough in explaining any findings from the inspection. Their inspection report was organized and easy to understand. She also sent us a directory of women/BIPOC/LGBTQ owned business that we could work with to fix any repairs found from the inspection! read more

Don't rush through the home inspection process!! Do your research and find someone good, not just the one that can show up first or that's best friends with your realtor. Amanda was amazing. Quick to respond, confirm, communicate and otherwise make us feel like we were the only customer on the calendar. Amanda was all over that house and gave us a thorough and easy-to-digest verbal overview at the home after her inspection and a super informative written report that will serve as our prioritized repair punch list for the next year. More importantly, among other things, Amanda spotted a severe structural issue in the house that has been cosmetically covered without adequate repair. Only a detail-oriented house sleuth would have caught that one.. Thank you Amanda!!! read more

Amanda was exceptional! Through. Timely. Great communication! Report was top quality! 87 pages!

Amanda provided amazing service and her inspection was thorough and professional. I reached out to her late on a Friday evening to see if she could fit us in the following week - she responded within twenty minutes and we were booked. Her inspection was incredibly thorough. In both verbal and in written formats, Amanda was able to communicate the issues in a very accessible way. She answered all of our questions and made sure to offer herself for any follow-up questions we may have in the future. She did the inspection of our home in the evening and had the written report for us to utilize that night. Amanda obviously enjoys her work and loves historic homes. Beyond demonstrating her obvious expertise, she communicated in an engaging way and with a sense of humor that helped soften the blow for some of the issues she identified. I would absolutely work with Amanda again. read more

Amanda was a pleasure to work with. She was incredibly thorough. No question was deemed silly and I was made to feel totally comfortable to ask away. Amanda seems to truly enjoy her work and, more importantly, seems to enjoy helping the buyer understand every little part of the process. Options were given when solicited, even on design things that aren't within the scope of her job. To top it all off, she provided an enormous list of women/BIPOC/LGBTQ+ owned businesses that provide any service a new home owner could need. Would 100% recommend read more

Amanda did a great job with our home inspection. We are first time home buyers and she helped guide us through the process. She was very helpful in explaining what she found, what we should address, and the next steps for doing so. I would and will recommend her to others! read more

Amanda was very thorough. Because of her inspection report we were able to get the builders to remedy numerous things that we would have never know to even ask about. She is incredibly friendly and very responsive by phone and email. I would use her again for sure. read more

Amanda was an excellent home inspector. She was very thorough and took the time to walk us through some of her concerns. She helped us understand what we should consider taking care of immediately vs. what could wait. I felt she had our best interests in mind. Her report was easy to understand and took you through every step of the house so we really knew what we were getting into. I'd recommend her to anyone in need of home inspection services. read more

10/10 would hire again to do a pre-purchase home inspection. Incredibly thorough--and her expertise with not only home inspections, but also building and selling her own homes was great. Home report was well organized and sent in an easy to understand PDF (with lots of photos). I was present at the home inspection and grateful she took extra time to walk me through her findings. I also appreciated her taking my 8:30pm Sunday evening call to answer my 1st time home buyer questions. She made me feel educated and confident in the home buying process. Have already referred my family to her & plan to have her come back annually to help me monitor the house/any maintenance that is needed. Very approachable and overall a delight to work with! read more

Amanda was highly recommended by my buyer's agent, Deb Counts-Tabor, and having her come and inspect the cottage was a VERY good idea as I plan for what might need to be done to age in place. Super-thorough. Took the time to explain some of her findings to a non-handyperson (me) in ways I could understand. Her report and documentation gave me the ability to plan out what's needed most, and what I could do later. If you're buying, selling, or just wanting to plan for a fewer-surprises future, hire her. read more

Amanda is one of those rare unicorns, she is incredibly professional, knowledgable and thorough at what she does while also being a genuine, kind and fun human being. I cannot recommend her highly enough. Working with Amanda was easy and enjoyable. Her website and platform for booking and payment was very convenient. She was quick to respond to our inquiries and clear with her rates. Her inspection report was detailed and extremely thorough. We were debating on purchasing an older home that would be considered a "fixer-upper" and the report had many findings (as expected), however she was a great sport at answering our laundry list of questions about the findings in the report and really helped us put things in perspective. We truly valued her expertise and guidance. read more

As a real estate agent in Portland, Amanda is my go-to inspector. She's thorough, but not an alarmist. She's super straightforward and understands homes built from 1900 to 2021, which is critical in a market with so many different types and styles of architecture. Amanda's reports are also entertaining to read so grab some popcorn or a glass of wine and settle in! read more

Amanda was beyond thorough, which is exactly what you want in a home inspector! She also sat us down after and went through all her concerns, but in the manner she did it, she made it clear to understand and not alarming. To first time home buyers so was so incredibly helpful! Would absolutely recommend! read more

Amanda helped us with a home inspection for our first house. She was very knowledgeable and explained things clearly. The report that she sent was very detailed and she was available afterwards to answer questions. Overall a great experience! I would hire her again in the future if I needed an inspector. Also, the fact that you can book her through her website instead of having to get on the phone is great! read more
