What Sets Us Apart?
Too many realtors are too focused on making the sale, and prefer to work with inspectors that will not in any way slow down the sale. And there are plenty of inspectors that want to give that kind of report. We at HIO believe the buyer should know as much as possible about the home they are considering buying, so we give you an unbiased report. Our typical inspection and report take a total of 5-7 hours.
* We will give you the truth about the home your are considering.
* We will show up on time, and will do what we say we will, and our reports will be well-written and easy to interpret.
* We are first-time buyer and pet friendly!
* We can help with aging-in-place home evaluations.
* We will spend as much time as you need at the time of inspection, and after you get your report, to address your questions.
* We offer Porch concierge services, completely free (and optional) to our customers.
*We offer (for a small additional fee) a Repair Estimate Report, that will provide you with a detailed repair or replacement estimate, based on items noted in our report.
* Most importantly, we spend the time needed (minimum of 3 hours, and up to 5) needed to inspect the following systems and components in your home:
- structural
- electrical
- plumbing
- heating (and AC, if present) system
- roof
- exterior of home
- windows
- attic, including insulation
- crawl space and/or basement
- garage(s)
- living spaces including all bedrooms
- bathrooms, including toilets, showers/tubs, and sinks
- laundry room/space
- kitchen appliances
- fireplace
At HIO, we know that it takes time to actually check all of the things that should be checked. If an inspector tells you they can inspect your home in 60-90 minutes, we *strongly* suggest you look elsewhere! We don't rush the inspection, because we know how important our work is to you, the homebuyer.

Mike brings a varied knowledge base and a wealth of experiences to the realm of home inspections. While teaching for 15 years at the high school and university levels, and then practicing medicine for another 15 years, throughout it all he always enjoyed the hands-on problem solving of home remodeling and construction with his own homes. His highly analytical mind (while not always appreciated by his wife!) and excellent communication skills will be very useful to you in your journey to home ownership. In his free time, he bikes, swims, runs, camps, flies his homebuilt airplane, runs a set of escape rooms in Corvallis, travels, and spends an inordinate amount of time trying to figure out how to cram 30 hours in a day. All with the support of his loving wife, Anna, and Penny, the dog that thinks she's a cat.

Jerry comes from almost as diverse of a background as Mike. He started life in the Navy, then decided the Army had all of the fun toys. Then, he took a very long route through college and graduate school to get degrees in ecology, chemistry and conservation biology. After 15 years of work in those areas, he thought teaching high school science would be fun, but that turned out to be a brief intermission. Kristin, his much better half, made a comment that Jerry always enjoyed working with wood and fixing things around the house, so why not try that out? So, Jerry started 'The Fix It Man' as a handyman and residential remodeling business back in 2013. That took off, and he has not looked back! Starting a home inspection business with Mike seemed like a natural next step. They've known each other through the Corvallis Mountain Rescue Unit where they literally held each other’s lives in their hands and have helped many people get back to their loved ones. Jerry enjoys reading, hiking, mountain climbing, and long trips in the summer with Kristin, who is a fifth grade teacher.
