A Matrix Home Inspection is a step-by-step analysis of the components and mechanical systems in a home that results in an understandable report summarizing any identified issues that may need repair, replacement, or pose a safety hazard.
The inspector will point out problems, explain them to you in detail, and rank them according to their order importance based upon whether they pose a safety issue for occupants or guests, or whether postponing a repair would result in additional damage, and thus a higher repair cost.The inspector will also show you the good points of the home, plus explain what routine maintenance is needed to keep the house in top condition.

Services
Unique homes and multi-family dwellings generally take longer to inspect, hence the fees for these homes will be higher. However, don't let the price of the inspection determine the selection of your home inspector, or whether you get a home inspection.
The lowest priced inspector is not necessarily a bargain, because the knowledge gained from a Matrix Home Inspection may save you thousands in non-anticipated repairs, or provide you a better negotiating position in the purchase, or sale, of your home.The inspector's qualifications, including their experience, training, and professional affiliations should be your foremost consideration in selecting your inspector.

This is executed before you list your home for sale and can have significant benefits. Eventually your buyers are going to conduct a home inspection and you may as well know what they are going to find by getting there first. It permits you to make repairs ahead of time so that defects won't become negotiating stumbling blocks at a later time.
New Construction Inspections are performed at the completion of a construction, but prior to your final walk through with the Builder's Customer Service Representative or Superintendent. It is always a good idea to verify that utilities (gas, water, and electric) have been turned on, either by you or the builder.
Investment Property Inspections are typically performed prior to purchase, but also periodically during the investment holding period. Pre-purchase inspections are performed prior to taking ownership to identify improvement defects and to facilitate negotiation of repairs or price. Periodic inspection of the properties in your portfolio will help identify deferred maintenance items.
Radon testing is an additional service provided by Matrix Home Inspection in conjunction with a home inspection, or as a stand- alone service. Radon is naturally occurring and present in both outdoor air and indoor air. The EPA recommends periodic testing in order to monitor radon levels in your home, especially if the lowest levels of your home have been finished and are utilized regularly by family and guests.

Rick provided a more thorough inspection than others. Rick used advanced technology to find problems. The online tools made it easy to create a list of repair estimates to present the seller. Matrix Home Inspection is trustworthy and saved me from making a very costly mistake in Kent. Highly recommend.

The inspection was for the purchase of a home. Rick was very friendly, professional and thorough. He explained everything in detail what needed to be done and how soon it would need to be addressed. Will use Matrix again if/when needed in the future.

I enlisted Rick’s expertise during our house buying journey, not once, but twice, and my fiancé and I were very pleased with the quality and attention to detail of both inspections. Rick was also kind enough to speak to us on the phone afterwards to go over his findings in more detail and to offer some advice to us. I would definitely recommend Matrix Home Inspection to anyone needing the services they provide!

Rick made everything easy! We were able to get an inspection scheduled quickly. He was early to our appointment, worked efficiently, explained everything well, and got the reports back to us the same day the inspections were complete. Highly recommend!

We used Matrix to inspect a 3,000 sq ft older home we were planning to buy. Rick was very friendly, professional, and thorough. He spent about 3 hours at the property and the next day we were given a thorough report of his findings, including photos. It was very helpful to see each issue “ranked” by level of severity so we knew what could potentially be hazardous vs. general maintenance items. We felt confident with his recommendations. Would use again.

Matrix Home Inspection was recommended by my realtor and we were very pleased with their service. We were provided a nicely detailed report from the home inspection. Rick W. was very responsive, insightful, and easy to work with. This was very appreciated as we were purchasing the home from out of state. He answered all our questions and his experience showed.

I used Rick to do a home inspection on a house I bid on. I won the bid , contingent on a home inspection. Rick was VERY thorough. He found several things that needed addressed. After pointing these out to the seller I purchased this home for 8500.00 less than I offered.
I would recommend Rick (Matrix) highly, to anyone in need of an inspection. Took time to explain and answer all of my questions Responded to my phone calls and emails quickly.
Great job Rick

Rick did a great job, and covered all the bases of potential issues with us, and the walk through after he was finished was very thorough. He goes above and beyond by providing you with a home guide with tips to make sure you house stays safe for many years to come. I would suggest anyone looking for a home inspector to consider Rick, as we had very good experience, and knock on wood, everything in our house has been performing very well since.
