My wife and I had to purchase a house sight unseen due to a last minute military transfer. Bryan was more than great when it came to explaining the completed inspections, and made us feel at ease about our move. He is very personable with an abundant amount of knowledge!

I have used True North Home Inspections twice now and heartily recommend the company. The first time was for an inspection of a house I had made an offer on in Gig Harbor, Washington. I was so impressed by Bryan Zimmerman's detailed analysis - including pointing out innumerable things I never would have noticed or known about - that I hired the company a second time to give me a neutral analysis of the roof on my own house, to ensure that that I truly needed a new roof and wasn't being flim-flammed by roofers (I did need a new roof).

While out to look at the roof on my own house, Bryan inspected my own house from top to bottom, alerting me to countless things I had never noticed that needed to be dealt with, such as rotten exterior window frames, mold, missing finish work on my Hardiboard siding, and so forth - I call it my "to do" list, and I'm now having a contractor take care of most of the list. Bryan Zimmerman (the business owner) is one of the most detail-oriented people I've ever met, a quality one surely wants in a home inspector.

Both times he's done inspections for me, I received a very detailed inspection report, complete with excellent photos and drawings plainly and clearly explaining what is wrong and what needs to be done to correct it. You cannot go wrong hiring True North! (I'm not a spokesperson - just a very satisfied customer!).

Highly recommend! Several months after purchase, we could not find the water shut-off valve, as the original one had been abandoned. Bryan searched his photos and records, in pursuit of assisting us with our dilemma. Bryan sent us pictures of the valve, which was in the most inconspicuous place. He was very responsive and professional and did not send a bill for the additional service. He actually cares, which is hard to find nowadays. If we buy another house, we will definitely use Bryan and True North Home Inspections again.

Incredibly responsive and professional service from Bryan Zimmerman at True North Home Inspections. Provided my realty client the most timely and informative inspection I could have asked for. He will definitely be my first call for any future inspections, and should be yours too!

Having worked with Bryan dozens of times over the past few years I can confidently say that he is one of the top home inspectors I have been around. He is extremely knowledgeable and takes the time to explain to clients exactly what the issues are as well as addressing things that could become issues down the line. He is extremely thorough and meticulous in his processes.

His reports are detailed and easy to read and he is always available to answer any questions regarding the home after the fact. I highly recommend Bryan for residential, multi-unit and commercial properties.

Bryan is an absolute pro and it truly shows how much he cares for his clients. During our kitchen remodel the demolition crew uncovered a possible pest infestation. In a panic I called Bryan with True North for help. He was able to come out right away and inspected every nook and cranny before deeming us pest free. He was a wealth of knowlege and took time walking us through both the interior and exterior of the home educating us and making suggestions on how to bypass any future infestations based on the specifics to our home. When he was finished he refused to accept payment saying "You were on my way home and think of me next time." Thank you so much for your time, energy, and professionalism!

My fiance and I purchased our first home last month and were recommended True North Home Inspections. In today's hot market first time home buying is especially stressful, but Bryan made it a great experience for us. Extremely knowledgeable and timely he was able to work us into his schedule quickly so we could meet our offer timelines. He took the time to really walk us through in detail his report and insured we were comfortable with everything, catching detail that others had missed. I highly recommend using True North Home Inspections.

I used true north for a pre purchase inspection. He was extremely knowledgeable and thorough! And because of his inspection I was able to determine that that particular house was more than I wanted to take on. I will continue to use Bryan to help me in my search for a new home! And there after for annual maintenance check ups.

Bryan has a long history in the construction business and has a wealth of information when it comes to home inspections. He is thorough, honest, and gets the job scheduled and done in a timely manner. The extra attention to detail is greatly appreciated and really is worth much more!

I am happy to recommend Bryan for a variety of inspections. Having a background as a contractor, Bryan is incredibly knowledgeable and thorough. Bryan is responsive to both realtors and customers. He is quick to respond to follow up questions and is a great resource to have. His inspection reports are easy to understand for the layman and well organized for easy reference.

Thanks to Bryan's detailed report and expert advice, I was able to get a $10,000 seller credit on the purchase of my home! I highly recommend using this company. He provided excellent thorough and professional service. In addition, the inspection report was detailed, well organized and easy to read with pictures to support his findings along with recommendations. Bryan is easy to communicate with and I appreciate that he took the time to show me specific areas of concern.

I purchased my home in May 2018 and have come upon NO surprises and have found that his report is precise and accurate. I absolutely trust his services and look forward to using him for property purchases in the future. Thanks again Bryan!
