Residential Network LLC was founded on a simple idea: a home inspector should know what's behind the walls — because they've put it there.
Kris Kent and Chad Slater spent the better part of two decades framing, roofing, drywalling, and renovating Pacific Northwest homes before stepping into inspection work. Combined, they've inspected, built, or renovated more than 2,400 homes across King, Pierce, Snohomish, Kitsap, Mason, Thurston, and Lewis counties.
They've replaced the rotten subfloor. They've torn out the corroded copper. They've found the hairline cracks that a six-figure repair starts with.
That's the difference between an inspector who's been trained to look at a house and one who's been trained to fix one. When Kris or Chad tells you something matters, it's because they've fixed that exact problem before.
Today, Residential Network serves homebuyers, sellers, and real estate professionals across the Greater Puget Sound — with the thoroughness, honesty, and people-first approach that's earned consistent 5-star reviews across every platform we operate on.
Both InterNACHI-trained. Both with hands-on construction backgrounds. Both directly reachable by phone — no call centers, no junior inspectors.
Kris brings 14 years of inspection experience and over 2,100 completed inspections to every job. Before becoming a Certified Master Inspector — a designation held by the top 1% of inspectors nationally — he spent years renovating and flipping homes throughout the Puget Sound region.
Chad brings 7 years of inspection experience and over a decade of home renovation work, including flipping multiple properties across the Pacific Northwest. Recently InterNACHI Certified and actively pursuing additional specialty certifications — page will update as those are completed.
