How we score

Every number on this page is computed from public Google data on the date shown, not from opinion or payment. Rating is the inspector’s live Google star average. Review volume is how many customers have rated them, ranked against other Seattle home inspectors. Confidence weighs the rating by that volume, so a strong score from over a thousand reviewers carries more weight than the same score from a couple hundred. Recency reflects how recently customers are still leaving reviews. No business can pay to change these numbers.

How much does a home inspection cost in Seattle? (2026)

Inspection pricing in Seattle is typically driven by square footage and property type, and most companies above quote instantly online or over the phone rather than publishing a flat rate. None of the businesses on this page list specific dollar figures in their public data, so ask each for a quote based on your property’s size before booking.

Serving all of Seattle

The inspectors above cover Seattle and the surrounding area, with reviewers describing work across North Seattle, the Eastlake neighborhood and North Beach, plus outlying areas as far as Snoqualmie.

What to ask before you hire a home inspector

Are you licensed to inspect in Washington State, and can you share your license number?
How soon can you schedule within my inspection window, and how fast will I get the report?
Do you offer a sewer scope, and is it included or a separate add-on?
Can I attend the inspection in person and ask questions as you go?
What is included in the report, and does it come with photos or video?

Frequently asked questions

How did you choose these home inspectors?

We started from home inspection companies in Seattle with a public Google presence, then ranked by rating, review volume, consistency and recency. See How we score above.

Are these rankings paid?

No. Rankings come from the public Google data in the scorecard. A business can pay to be a Featured Partner, which adds a badge and top placement, but that never changes another business’s score or position on the underlying data.

How often is this updated?

The data carries a verified date (August 2026 on this page). We refresh listings periodically so ratings and review counts stay current.

How fast can I get a home inspection report in Seattle?

Several inspectors on this page, including WIN Home Inspection, Titan and Spotlight, routinely deliver full written reports within 24 hours, often the same day.

Do Seattle home inspectors also offer sewer scope inspections?

Some do. The Sterling Inspection Group specifically offers sewer scoping alongside standard inspections; confirm with each company whether it is included in the base price or booked separately.

The bottom line

The Sterling Inspection Group is the safe default given its scale and the sewer scope option in one visit, while WIN and Spotlight are the highest-rated names if a fast, same-day report matters most. Whoever you book, confirm your inspection window and report turnaround time upfront.
