I recently had a home inspection conducted by Don Hester with NCW Home Inspections, and I couldn't be more pleased with the experience and professionalism. Mr. Hester explained everything in clear, easy to understand terms and answered all questions and concerns with very knowledgeable responses. Highly recommend.

Very friendly and respectful during the inspection. Inspection was able to be scheduled within a few days of us contacting them. Foundation inspection was completed within an hour and got a report back the next day. I would highly recommend Don Hester.

We are in the process of purchasing a home near Leavenworth in Chelan county, and Don went above and beyond to provide the BEST home inspection we could ever ask for. He was incredibly thorough, and made notes of every little aspect of the house that is not up to spec and/or dangerous; some things about the house we never would have thought of! We were on-site during the inspection and Don went out of his way to explain all the issues he was finding, about why there were an issue and the level of risk they posed to our safety/the longevity of the house.

Don provided us with an exceedingly thorough report that we are using to plan improvements to the property to make sure the house is safe moving forward. He's also been tremendously kind & professional, and answered any questions we had very promptly. I cannot recommend Don enough; he really knows his stuff!

If you are planning on getting your home inspected for any reason, NCW Home Inspections is undoubtedly the best in the area. 10/10 service!

Thanks again for a great inspection Don!

Don's middle name could be "thorough". One could be put off by the length and detail of the report, but he was there 100% after delivery of the report to answer any questions. He even offered to swing by and inspect the work that the sellers did which we demanded. Top-rate inspector and good guy. I felt like he was truly there to assist us.

Don was amazing! Prompt, beyond thorough and tech savvy. His resources were phenomenal and just the best home inspection service I have used in 20 years!

I don't know why it's taken me so long to leave Don a review, because he was AMAZING.

My wife and I just bought our first home, Don did the inspection. He covered quite literally everything in his report, down to the air filter being in backwards. I *still* reference the report he gave us, and it's saved me a lot of time AND money already. Any time I have a question, he's quick to respond and help me out. I can't overstate how valuable of a resource his inspection has been.

Don's services are worth every penny and then some, I will definitely be using him again when we buy our next home.

This was the best home inspection I have ever been part of. I highly recommend Don, if you are in need of a home inspection. Very knowledgeable and thorough. His final report is very helpful and professionally put together.

If you are buying a home Don is the absolute BEST home inspector you could hire! The level of detail in that he brings to his home inspections is absolutely unmatched and he can really help you in your negotiating process plus give you a truly realistic view of the home you're purchasing. Additionally, he is also a member of the Washington State Home Inspector Advisory Licensing Board and the Program Coordinator and Instructor Bellingham Technical College. If you need an inspector Don is the best you can hire!!

Don inspected two properties for us and we could not have been happier with his service. He is extremely thorough with his reports, and very well versed in what codes and best building practices are applicable to any given circumstance. He is also friendly and personable, and provides great customer service. Should we purchase another property in the future, we will look to Don again for his help. Thanks, Don!

NCW Home Inspections was very thorough and knowledgeable about codes and regional norms in the building and real estate industry. The report on line was detailed with plenty of photographs. This was very helpful since we are relocated from the Southeast and could not be present for the inspection. Don Hester emailed a full PDF in short order after completing the inspection. The thermography technology is an additional service I had used on other purchases that can be very helpful in finding problems that may be hidden. The follow up to answer questions and discuss the inspection was very helpful as well. I would not hesitate to recommend Don Hester and NCW Home Inspections.

Don Hester handled the inspection for the condo I wished to purchase. He had to handle it for me remotely, since I am not in the area. Therefore he coordinated with my son who is. Both my son and I (and the real estate agent) were highly impressed by the care he took and the suggestions he made. The thoroughness of the inspection was superb. The details he included, and the logic explaining what he described, was of great help to me in getting back to the seller for remediation, and, especially since I wasn't there to look in more detail myself, greatly relieved my apprehension about any problems that there might have been which would have come back to haunt me after the sale. I would most highly recommend Don to anyone who needs a thorough, professional inspection.

We've had Don inspect 2 homes for us so far and we are always pleased with the results. He came highly referred to us and we would do the same. We love the detailed and thorough inspections you provide.

Great experience with Don and his inspection report. He took the time to explain things to me as he was inspecting the property and provided a thorough inspection report. The inspection report also provided examples of how the issues could be correctly. Thanks!

I have worked with Don on multiple occasions fixing troubled HVAC systems he has found during home inspections. There is no doubt that Don is the best! He is consistent and expects perfection from new homes and remodels!

As a side effect my level of craftsmanship has improved. Before leaving any job i ask myself one question...What if Don inspected this?

Always ensure you get a written contract that outlines the scope of work, timeline, and payment terms.

4. How to check if a roofing company is legit?
+-

Check if a roofing company is legit by verifying their business license, insurance, and local certifications. Look for memberships in professional associations, read customer reviews, and ask for recent project references. A legitimate company will be transparent and provide all documentation upon request.

5. How to choose a roofing company?
+-

When choosing a roofing company, consider their experience, customer reviews, warranty offerings, and quality of materials. Make sure they provide clear communication, detailed estimates, and a solid portfolio of completed projects. Local expertise is also a major advantage for understanding regional roofing needs.

6. How do you know if your roofing contractor is ripping you off?
+-

Warning signs that your roofing contractor might be ripping you off include vague contracts, pressure to pay large upfront deposits, lack of proper documentation, and unexplained price increases. Always ask for itemized estimates and written guarantees, and avoid contractors who avoid answering your questions directly.
