InterNachi Certified (CPI) Home Inspector and Coastal Property Inspections founder Chris Knappett learned woodworking from his Grandfather in Victoria BC, Canada, restoring and building wooden boats. He starting early, as a spry and impressionable four year old. As a young teen of 14, he had his first workshop. Often he would scout the neighborhood, helping neighbors, friends and family members with their home repair and remodeling projects, and fixing and repurposing all sorts of anything imaginable. This passion for the "do-it-yourself" has spanned multiple decades, but his real joy is as a craftsman. This all started at the young age of 14 in the suburbs of a Seattle town named Shoreline. He enjoyed woodworking, furniture design and building, as well as finish interior carpentry, cabinetry, and built-ins every day since that very first shop.Home Inspection is a natural progression for Chris. He has a very detailed working knowledge of Homes. He is very familiar with building materials and construction techniques, electrical and plumbing, as well as the mechanical (HVAC and ventilation) systems in homes. Captured through many years of working with these systems, Chris understands much of how they work, and contributors to those occasions they do not work. He understands well that effective Property Inspections spans beyond the technical system analysis alone, and the best technical knowledge in the world is rendered moot if the inspector is not able to transfer their observations to the Client. Chris and his wife Suzanne have 3 grown children, two senior cats and the most recent addition to the family a Havanese puppy named Maizy. Chris and Suzanne are lovers of tennis and Pickleball and play several times a week. Suzanne holds her real estate broker's license (20 years) and understands how the inspection process works with the home sale process.We look forward to working with you!
