Home Inspection Services in Kent, WA

See What a Home Inspection Can Uncover in Kent, WA

From The Ground Up Home Inspections Serving Kent, WA and the Greater Puget Sound Call: (253) 377-7400 Led by Kirk Oren, RESNET, Infrared, and BPI Certified, 25+ years in construction.


We provide pre-purchase, pre-sale, project and restoration, and energy inspections for homeowners and buyers throughout Kent, WA. Kent spans three distinct areas, West Hill, the Kent Valley along the Green River, and East Hill, and each one puts different demands on a home inspection. A valley-floor house built near the river faces different moisture and drainage questions than a newer property up on East Hill, and we scope every inspection with that in mind rather than running the same checklist regardless of where the property sits.
