Stanton’s career in construction began in 1987. Over time, he added cabinet-making, roofing, historical restoration, high-end residential framing, and complete custom home-building to his resume. A 4-year stint in boutique hotel management also gave him the unique opportunity to refine his impeccable customer service. When he founded Stanton's Home Inspection Services in 2000, he immediately established himself as a top-tier home inspector with the personable manner, working knowledge, and attention to detail that his clients have come to trust ever since

Buyer Full
Home Inspection
This is a complete top-to-bottom visual inspection for buyers. Stanton & the team will examine all functional aspects of the house to determine their safety and document the home's condition at that point in time.
We will test the operational status of all systems and components, and review our findings with you and your broker. One-Year Home Warranty Inspections for homeowners also fall into this category.
Seller Pre-Listing Inspection
We perform these full home inspections for homeowners to identify items that they may wish to repair or improve before putting their home on the market - - as well as those who have taken great care of their
home and want to fully disclose its condition. The inspection report can be made public to potential buyers, if the current owner chooses to do so, thereby marketing the home with nothing to hide (full disclosure). By providing this inspection report to potential buyers, the listed property might not be subject to multiple home inspections that buyers would otherwise pay for.
Pre-Offer, Major Systems
Only Inspection
These pre-bid inspections offer another option to buyers in this seller-driven market. The inspection format is limited to the major systems and structures only. Not intended to take the place of a full home inspection,
This truncated, inclusionary inspection is designed to inform the buyer of potential major system failures or large ticket items (if present) which may need to be considered when preparing to make an offer without an inspection contingency.
Structural Pest Inspection
(Stand-Alone)
This type of inspection is most commonly called for by mortgage companies when a homeowner is refinancing their home. VA and FHA loans almost always require a special insect inspection form referred
to as a NPMA-33. Although the NPMA-33 does not meet Washington State Wood-Destroying Organism (WDO) inspection laws, this form can be provided in addition to the state approved WDO report when requested.
