Karen Krieger, owner of Check It Out Home Inspection

Karen Krieger

Hello!

My name is Karen Krieger, and I am with Check It Out Home Inspections. I apply my 15 years of carpentry experience to home inspections. I worked in new construction and remodeling. I also bought, remodeled and resold houses, giving me hands-on experience with real estate transactions. As carpenter, I repaired and/or installed windows, doors, floors, framing, cabinets, counter tops, appliances, wood stoves, roofs, siding, drywall, wiring, plumbing and landscaping.   (whew.)

I am AHIT certified and licensed in the State of Washington to perform home inspections and pool and spa inspections. I am also licensed by the WSDA to perform pest inspections for wood destroying organisms.

I am proud to serve the Tri-Cities area of Washington state including Richland, Kennewick, Pasco, Walla Walla and the outlying areas of Benton, Franklin and Walla Walla counties.
