It was a true pleasure to work with Mike! He was very thorough and took extra time to explain what he was looking for and what was found throughout the house. Before starting he asked if we had any questions or concerns with the property and welcomed us to follow him around as he did his inspection so that we could learn everything there was to know about the house. Mike was very knowledgeable and explained things in a way that was easy to understand. The inspection process was very informative but the finished report was the most impressive part of the whole experience! As a contractor I have viewed many inspection reports provided by clients and realtors and none of them came close to the level of professionalism that Mike provided. The report was very well organized and included high resolution photos of everything listed. Mike told us to call or email him with any questions we had regarding the report but it was very comprehensive and nothing was left unsaid. My wife and I are glad we met Mike and now feel very comfortable buying this property for our future family.

Mike was personable and very professional. He had all of the proper equipment to do an extensive and thorough inspection. He was patient with all of our questions. Mike provided an inspection report unlike any that I have ever seen, It was beautifully laid out, well-organized with numerous color photos, and contained excellent detail that made everything easy to understand. I would hands down use Windy Ridge Home Inspections again and recommend him to anyone looking to purchase a home.

Mike was very friendly and professional. He seemed to be thorough in his inspection and I appreciate how easy his report was to read and understand from a non-inspector perspective.

We hired Mike during the buying process of our potential new home, and he showed up early, ready to work, and had all tools needed to complete the job. He used a great online platform for both my husband and I to view our inspection and provided clear detail on suggestions for our potential home. I look forward to referring Windy Home Inspections in the future. Thank you Mike for the well-thought out and very thorough inspection!

ABOUT US

My name is Michael Dillman. owner/inspector of Windy Ridge Home Inspections. Been married for the last 18+ years to an amazing woman with 3 girls. My faith in Christ, along with character and integrity is very important to me.

Relevant Home Inspection Experience and Education

  • IFSTA (International Fire Service Training Association) Building construction
  • Attended annual (2 day) Global Leadership Conference for 7 consecutive years (2013-2019)
  • SOPHI (School of Professional Home Inspection) Certified Home Inspector – Burien, WA
  • Field training through American Home Inspectors Training school (AHIT) – Renton, WA
  • InterNACHI (International Association of Certified Home Inspectors) Certified Home Inspector
  • Washington State Department of Agriculture (Licensed Structural Pest Inspector)
  • CompletedInterNACHI How to Inspect Manufactured and Mobile Homes Course

Over the years I have attended annual leadership conferences learning how to better myself a little bit more each year. I enjoy spending time with my family, hiking, camping, reading books, wood working and personal development, always striving to better myself to help and encourage others.

So how does my background assist me in being a home inspector? With over 25 years in emergency services, the knowledge and hands-on skills I acquired during that time, my strong points are interpersonal skills and knowing how to communicate and interact with others. To better understand how fire traveled throughout a building, I needed to have basic knowledge and understanding of building construction which gave me a better idea how to deal with the situations we were faced with. I performed company fire safety inspections in businesses and created detailed professional reports of my findings for our customers.

Attending and completing my home inspection training gave me a more well rounded understanding and advanced knowledge inside and out.

My recent and past experience and education allowed me to build strong communication skills to share and explain what I’m doing so you feel more comfortable and confident in your choice in choosing me as your home inspector. I look forward to the opportunity to earn your confidence and serve you.

Where am I from?:

I was raised in Helena, Montana. Before becoming an inspector, I was a firefighter in the US Air Force with 5 years of honorable service. Later I worked as a 911 Dispatcher eventually transitioning into a fantastic career as a firefighter/EMT in Helena retiring with 25 years of service.

I took pride in giving the best customer service and patient care with professionalism and compassion helping many on their worst day. I now look forward to helping those on their best day.
