Services
As an engineer, I take a structured approach with great attention to detail. I am highly organized and efficient. Additionally, I have a thorough understanding of how systems are designed and intended to function. My experience with construction and familiarity with the coastal region provide insight into the wide array of issues coastal homes face.
When choosing a time, consider wheather you plan to be present during the inspection. If you are planning to be on site, please allow for the first couple of hours of my inspection to be done independently. This gives me the opportunity to thoroughly and efficiently asses the property. After the bulk of the inspection is complete, I encourage you to join me to discus the findings.
Below are the two governing standards for my home inspections. These references are provided to help the customer understand the laws, regulations, and requirements for a home inspection performed in Oregon by a member of InterNACHI. They describe the minimum requirements as well as what is not required of a home inspector.
Beyond the education requirements for state certification, these areas of focus have been selected and studied to complement the general coursework and insure complete familiarity with all aspects of a home, its systems and the inspection process.
Combined with continuing education relative to our region, Applegate Inspections llc is well equipped and up to speed on traditional building strategies, newly developed building technologies, and issues pertinent to the Pacific Northwest.

I recently asked some customers for honest feedback and suggestions for how I can improve my service and testimonials that I could share. The responses below were incredibly rewarding to read. We would be more than happy to write a testimonial for your website. In our experience, you were the most trustworthy person we worked with in the whole house buying process, and we're super grateful for your service.

I love this guy. There, I said it. THIS is the person you need when you’re about to buy a house! David Applegate is not only savvy and sharp and über-professional – he is a good man. A truly decent human being who really cares about his clients.
Let’s start with the level of professionalism: top-notch! I can’t imagine a more in-depth, thorough inspection report anywhere. Top-to-bottom, under the house and up above, standing structures, appliances, joists, crawl spaces, and soffits – everything was covered in the report (and I picked up a whole new vocabulary reading it!) Pages and pages

Absolutely the most thorough inspection report I have ever seen. David performed inspection on our properties (multiple docks, multiple outbuildings, house, etc), and looked in places we never even knew existed. He is responsive, professional, and precise - leaving no stone unturned in search of issues. He will walk you through the full report, and explain everything.

We've recently had David at Applegate Inspections perform inspections of two condominiums in the Newport, OR area for us. We know the high quality of his work and that his work is consistently excellent. David is professional, on-time, thorough and provides an excellent, detailed report promptly. I fully recommend him for any inspection work you need.

David is very professional. He is easy to contact and responds very quickly if you leave a message. There are not many home inspectors at the coast and most charge accordingly. David, however keeps his rates very reasonable considering what a thorough inspection that he conducts. I am a general contractor and asked a lot of questions through most of the process. David was very accommodating and patient with all my concerns. His report was in my email before I returned home from the 2 hour drive from the beach. Very impressed!

I called David on a Tuesday and he made time to inspect the house I want to buy by Saturday. He was in the house about 3 hours and checked everything out. David explained everything to me before he left and had a complete report for me by the end of the day. He was professional and polite, I would recommend him to anyone.

I just had the pleasure of having Dave inspect a house I was interested in purchasing, I can't imagine having a better experience. He was incredibly thorough, finding things I never would have noticed, and crawling into spaces I didn't even know were there. Hands down 5 star service, along with a stellar written report that concretely will help with closing negotiations. I'm very very happy.

Dave with Applegate Inspections, llc was incredibly professional and thorough. I was able to schedule the inspection very promptly. At the time of the original inspection he discovered there was no water and was able to quickly return to finish the inspection once the water was turned on. I received a very detailed report including pictures and descriptions. He took the time to go over it with me answering all my questions. As a first time home buyer I appreciated the friendliness and trustworthy service I received.
