How quickly can you turn around a 35R estimate?

Most 35R estimates are completed within 24-48 hours of receiving the inspection report. For urgent deals with tight timelines, we can often provide same-day estimates. We understand that delayed estimates can delay closings, so we prioritize speed without sacrificing accuracy.

Can you coordinate around showings?

Absolutely. If the property is already listed, we coordinate our work schedule around your showings. We leave the property clean and presentable at the end of each work day so it's always showing-ready.

What areas do you serve?

We serve Southwest Washington, including Vancouver, Camas, Ridgefield, Battleground, Washougal, Longview, and surrounding areas in Clark County and Cowlitz County.

How do you handle seller/buyer negotiations?

We provide detailed, line-item estimates that both parties can review. Our estimates are transparent and defensible — sellers can see exactly what each repair costs, and buyers can trust the numbers. This transparency helps reduce negotiation friction and keeps deals moving forward.

How 35R Estimates Work

A 35R is a home inspection repair request — the list of repairs a buyer asks the seller to complete (or credit) as a condition of sale. It's one of the most common friction points in real estate transactions, and inaccurate estimates can delay or kill deals.

When you send us a 35R list, we prepare a detailed line-item estimate for every requested repair. Each item includes material costs, labor, and a realistic timeline. Sellers see exactly what they're paying for, and buyers get confidence that the work will be done right.

In some cases, we can accept payment through escrow at closing — this is handled case-by-case depending on scope and relationship. We work within the response window to keep your deals on track. Most 35R estimates are delivered within 24-48 hours.
