At Octopus Home Inspections, we’ve learned firsthand that buying a new home without understanding the full picture is overwhelming, stressful, and downright risky.

We will provide you with all the knowledge and information you need in order to make the smartest possible decision for your future.

My name is Chris, and I started this company because I wanted to give future homeowners in my Portland, Oregon community the opportunity to buy a home with utmost confidence and trust through thorough and competent home inspection services. With many years of experience in the industry, we’ve developed a keen eye for identifying current problem areas and developing issues, such as moisture intrusion, structural issues, and poor craftsmanship, that only become more problematic and costly over time. With us on your side, you can rest easy knowing that we’ll leave no stone left unturned during the home inspection process.

Before starting this company, I worked in the residential energy efficiency sector and performed home energy audits and new home verifications. This background has provided me with a level of expertise in energy efficiency that is above and beyond the scope of most home inspectors. I will apply my unique knowledge and skills in this area to help you save money and live more comfortably in your home.
