He provided Thermal imaging inspection (included for free). He was extremely thorough and detailed in his work and explanations. All of which he put into his detailed report I was blown away not only by his work but by the invaluable information he gave me while going through the home explaining major immediate needs for replacements and/or repairs, along with current and future upkeep, maintenance, repair work that he recommended. Smith Family November 2016Ĭharlie Ragsdale did an outstanding job inspecting our (hopefully) soon to be new home! At the time I had no idea who or what to ask or expect for a home inspection, I received a quote from him almost immediately on Thumbtack. In summary, Charlie is a very knowledgeable home inspector who knows where to look and who takes his time in doing a very careful job identifying and documenting deficiencies that potential buyer's should know about, in order to make an informed decision on whether to buy or close on a home, and we highly recommend his services to you. We presented our builder with Charlie's list, and will not close on the home until these issues have been remedied. He also performed a thermal scan which found a leak in the Air Conditioning system. In addition, he thoroughly documented deficiencies in drainage, sealing of windows, door functioning, excessive radiation from the microwave oven, missing fire-rated caulking in the fireplace, and the need for window-opening limiting devices on the second floor for child safety. Not all inspectors actually walk the roof, but Charlie did and took several photographs which clearly illustrated faults in roof sealing and flashing and additional flaws which would have allowed water to penetrate into the home. He noted several deficiencies which were unknown to us, especially with the roof. Charlie Ragsdale from Able Eye performed a very thorough inspection of the major Systems in the home - Structural, Electrical, Heating, Plumbing and Appliances. Washington State Dept.My wife and I are considering finalizing the purchase of a new home, and despite the builder's advice that it shouldn't be necessary to have a 3rd party inspection of the home, we went ahead and engaged the services of Abel Eye Inspections, and we are very glad we did.

The experience and knowledge I have gained over the years has made me a highly qualified and reliable Professional Licensed & Certified Home Inspector. I have performed over 10,000 home inspections since 1999, which makes me a Master Inspector but I don't charge Master prices. In 1999 I was offered the opportunity to learn more about home inspections and became a Home Inspector.
As I became older the “labor” part of construction became harder on my body. I have built homes from top to bottom and completed several remodels throughout the years. I owned a construction company for 18 years prior to becoming a Home Inspector. I have been in the construction/building industry since 1982.
