Thank You for Visiting!
Hello, I’m Joseph Johnson — owner and inspector at Uptown Home Inspections.
Born and raised in the Portland area, I graduated from Benson Polytechnic High School and attended Portland Community College. I'm a family man who values hard work, personal growth, and serving the community I love.
Providing detailed, accurate information about a property is essential when making a confident and informed home purchase. I take that responsibility seriously. When you hire me, you can count on a reliable inspector who has your back every step of the way.
I'm here to help — with honesty, clarity, and care.

About Me
Born and raised in the Pacific Northwest, I’ve always had a deep respect for the homes and communities that shape our lives. With an associate degree from Saddleback College and certification from InterNACHI, I’ve turned that respect into a career I’m passionate about—home inspection.
As a father of two great kids, I understand the importance of feeling safe and confident in your home. That’s why I take a thorough, honest approach to every inspection. My goal is to help you make informed decisions with clarity and peace of mind.
Whether you're buying, selling, or simply maintaining your property, I’m committed to delivering detailed, easy-to-understand reports and dependable service you can trust.

Please note: I currently provide inspection services only in Oregon.

About Me
Born and raised in Kentucky, I spent a few years in San Francisco before settling in Oregon in 2017. With a strong background in customer service, I discovered a new path when I met Joseph, who introduced me to the home inspection industry. Inspired by his passion, I began building my own career in the field.
Today, I support our team by managing test drop-offs, pickups, and day-to-day logistics—ensuring each inspection runs smoothly from start to finish. With a detail-oriented mindset and a commitment to excellent customer care, I’m proud to be part of a team that empowers homeowners and buyers to make confident, informed decisions.
