Best Maui Home Inspector with experience

International Association of Certified Home Inspectors

Put your trust in a company with experience in home inspections.  My inspections cover top-to-bottom and include a mold inspection.

ABOUT ME

My name is Matt Fellman and I am the owner/operator of Island Local Home Inspections. After spending my entire life in Oregon, my family and I took a leap of faith a few years ago and landed here on Maui. For more than 20 years I owned and operated a very successful multi-inspector company in Oregon and home inspections are my life. I’ve trained dozens of home inspectors, taught classes to real estate agents, served as board president of the Oregon Real Estate Inspectors Association twice, and even wrote a book on becoming a successful home inspector.

As you look to hire an inspector to help navigate your purchase, I hope you will consider me. From the top of the roof to the bottom of the foundation and everything in between, I can promise you I’ve seen it all before and will give you my complete and honest opinion. Feel free to look around my website to learn more about who I am and what I do. Most of all, please reach out to me with any questions or to discuss your prospective house. Thanks for stopping by and I look forward to welcoming you to the greatest place on earth. Mahalo!

What Does My Inspection Cover?

This is a great question and a topic that is important to be familiar with as you navigate the homebuying process. Your home inspection will be performed in accordance with the American Society of Home Inspectors Standards of Practice including:

  • Structure
  • Exterior Building Envelope
  • Roof/Gutters
  • Site Grading and Drainage
  • Electrical System
  • Plumbing System
  • Heating and Air-Conditioning System
  • Interior Components
  • Attics and Crawl Spaces
  • I also include a Mold Inspection with every home inspection
Refer to my Inspection Checklist for more detailed information about the specific areas I focus on during your home inspection:

My reports are clearly worded and include pictures and easy-to-understand terminology. I don’t hand you 20 pages of illegible handwritten comments and confusing checkboxes. Each report is written by me and only contains information specific to YOUR house.

For an example of what to expect on the report after the inspection, take a look at a sample report. You will find pictures and easy to understand comments about the items I found. I really try to write the reports in non-technical, easy to comprehend terms that will help you understand your prospective house.

INSIDER SECRETS TO BECOMING A SUCCESSFUL

HOME INSPECTOR

“This book contains my opinions and thoughts from nearly twenty years spent crawling over, under, around, and through houses. I will talk about everything—from breaking bottles of wine in houses to what to do if you’re attacked by a raccoon in a crawlspace to what type of buyer is most likely to sue you. I will also share many of my pitfalls, in hopes that you can learn something from them. I know I sure have.”

While nails and screws may seem to be interchangeable, there is actually quite a difference between what these two common fasteners are capable of.  I know often times you are just trying to hang a picture on the wall and either will usually work but sometimes the difference really does matter.  Let’s start by talking
