Why Residential Network

A different kind of inspector. By design.

Most inspectors learn from manuals. Kris and Chad learned from years of swinging hammers, flipping homes, and renovating Pacific Northwest houses from the studs out.

// 01

Builders, not just inspectors

Combined 20+ years renovating and flipping homes. We've installed, replaced, and torn out the very systems we're inspecting — so we know what's behind the walls.

// 02

Same-day reports, every time

Detailed digital reports delivered before you go to bed. Photos, prioritized findings, and clear next steps — so you can make decisions fast in a competitive market.

// 03

Free thermal, drone & re-inspection

Other inspectors charge $200+ for thermal imaging and $150+ for drone surveys. With us, both are included — along with a free re-inspection if needed. No upcharges.

// 04

Available 7 days a week

Inspections any day, including weekends and holidays. Tight escrow timeline? We work around it — not the other way around. Built for the way the Puget Sound market actually moves.

We've been in your future home before.

Kris Kent and Chad Slater didn't come up through inspector school and call it a career. They came up swinging hammers — framing, roofing, drywalling, and re-piping homes across the Greater Puget Sound for two decades.

That's the difference. Most inspectors look at a house and see a checklist. Kris and Chad look at a house and see what's been done, what's been hidden, and what's about to fail. They've replaced the rotten subfloor. They've torn out the corroded copper. They've found the hairline cracks that a six-figure repair starts with.

"We've inspected, built, and renovated more than 2,400 homes between us. When we tell you something matters — it matters."

What Clients Say

Trusted by buyers, sellers,
and the agents who refer us.

"Kris caught a sewer line break that would have cost us $12K after closing. The thermal imaging spotted moisture behind a wall the seller's disclosure never mentioned. Worth every penny — and then some."

Jennifer M.

Buyer · Renton, WA

"I refer all my clients to Residential Network. Same-day reports, drone footage, and Chad explains everything in plain English. My clients consistently come out feeling informed — not panicked."

David R.

Realtor · Tacoma, WA

"You can tell within ten minutes that Kris has actually built houses. He showed me roofing details and a sub-panel issue I never would have noticed. The free re-inspection after repairs sealed it for me."
