Allen was an excellent inspector. He was very thorough, and extremely responsive whenever we had questions. Allen even met us at the property to walk us through the report. I would definitely hire Allen again if I need another inspection, and cannot recommend him highly enough.

Allen was fantastic! Personable, caring, thoughtful, and so thorough. Took the time to ensure I understood everything, but was so quick in getting in to do my inspection and the incredibly fast with finishing a very thorough report. I would recommend him to anyone needing an inspector, hands down best at his job!

I requested that Allen inspect our prospective home because I had seen reports he completed on previous homes we had looked at during our home-buying journey. His inspections were always comprehensive and I appreciated that he had caught severe issues that may often be overlooked. When I was finally able to meet Allen to go over the inspection he did for us, he was very kind, professional, and knowledgeable not only about his work but also about the area the house we were looking to buy was in. He was able to provide extra information and went above and beyond for us. I will continue to recommend his services to anyone looking to have an inspection performed either when buying or selling a home.

Checkpoint was far beyond my expectations. They stayed in touch leading up to the day and time of the inspection. I was given a through scope of the work they would be doing to inspect the home. They were very polite and accommodating allowing me to tag along on the accessible areas, for me. They explained as they went and informed me of the nature of their observations at each step, such as; a concern but easily fixable, could cause problems in the future, should be address as soon as possible, safety concern and things like, this was ok when your home was built but should be upgraded now.
I was also very impressed with the 'state of the art' of their equipment. An amazing Drone that flew over and around everything above head lever and recorded conditions. They had a high tech, self leveling video camera at the end of a cable they used to scope the inside of pipes and ductwork.
After their work, they cleaned up everything, locked doors they opened and gave us a good briefing. That evening I received a full and detailed report with each item, it's pictures and or videos.
I don't think I've ever spend money better and accomplished so much for the very reasonable cost.
I've got an Engineering background and Checkpoint is as good as I've ever seen. I would very highly recommend them.

Allen as both a person and a professional had greatly exceeded my expectations. He kept me in the loop 100% of the process.

Quick response and fast scheduling. Allen explained the process from cradle to grave. His inspection report was very detailed, included pictures, videos, 360 degree pictures of every room, and aerial pictures were a bonus!!!!
- B.O., May 2020
Allen did an inspection on a house we were considering buying. His inspection was the most thorough inspection I have ever seen. Very detailed with great pictures and 360 degree views of each room. He found a moisture issue from some leaking flashing and caulk that a specialist later inspected and found mold growing behind the drywall. Based on Allen's inspection we chose not to buy the house. His outstanding inspection saved us from buying a house and having to spend a huge amount of money fixing a very bad problem. I highly recommend Allen for any home inspection.

Allen offers many different inspection products (mold, radon, sewer scope, etc) which make it easy for buyers to have one point of contact and one scheduled inspection to cover all of their needs. Allen takes the time to clearly explain results to buyers, in person or by phone for out of area buyers.
- M.D., Manzanita OR, November 2019
Allen arrived early for his appointment to inspect the new home we had made an offer on ….. Allen and his assistant Kevin were both very thorough and detail oriented, they arrived prepared to go to work ….. they walked and videoed the roof, they inspected, made a video of the crawl space and attic checking heat ducts, insulation, wiring and plumbing in places we probably will never go!
They operated appliances, checked smoke and CO2 alarms, furnace, water heater, all appliances ….. the list of things they checked is endless and very comprehensive.
Was Allen's inspection worth the cost ….. absolutely!
Would we hire Allen again if we were to buy another home ….. absolutely!
Allen is friendly, polite, knowledgeable, and very, very thorough.
Thank you Allen and Kevin ….. you are the best!

His attention to detail, professionalism, and thorough comprehensive report put my mind at ease in buying my second home. He went above and beyond in answering all my questions and is a tremendous resource, as well as a very personable individual. I highly recommend Allen and give him a A++ rating.
- K.S., March 2019
I always feel confident that my buyers are in good hands with Allen. He will always be honest with something that has a serious problem and is important for my buyers to know about, but wouldn't scare them just to cover himself of any possible liability. He really wants the buyers to get their dream home with the knowledge of any repairs or maintenance that's needed and any serious discoveries revealed.
