Nik was so knowledgeable and he explained his findings very easily, even if you don’t have a background in Building Science. He gives suggestions on things that other inspectors may not speak to. His report after the inspection was very thorough and I appreciated knowing I can still ask him questions later in the future about the home. Thank you for your great work!

I recently hired Hammerhead for a property we are looking at purchasing, being a home builder myself, home inspections are always a well-worth expense; it's a second set of eyes and a letter heading that can be used in negotiations with the seller. I was extremely impressed with Nik, the owner/inspector, I feel his knowledge far surpasses other home inspectors I have worked with, and very impressed with the items he put into his report. Highly recommended

Nik is the best, thorough knowledge of building envelope and everything needed to complete a valuable and informative inspection. We have used his services twice and I still will go back to reference his reports years later for information about my home, where to find things and general fixes he’s recommended. His reports are thorough and complete and his pricing is more than fair.
