Columbia Center is a Class A, 1.5 million sq. ft., 76 story office tower located in the financial district of Seattle Washington. Columbia Center has close to 1,000 electrical components that need to have infrared scans performed on an annual basis. We have had challenges over the last few years finding a company that can provide us a detailed inventory, perform quality work, meet a demanding schedule and submit final reports in a timely fashion. Cascade Thermal Imaging (CTI) is that company. CTI communicated well with our engineering and management team from day one and provided us a detailed scope of work and schedule. CTI performed well, communicated well, met schedule and provided us a very detailed final report with a few days. Our experience with CTI was positive from day one and we are extremely happy with the overall experience. So much so, we have signed CTI up to a five year continuing service agreement and continue to recommend them to others in the industry. ~ZifJ~ General Manager / Columbia Center CAC Real Estate Management Co, Inc. 701 5th Avenue, Suite 4000 Seattle, WA 98104 ~
Monday, January 11,2010 To Whom It May Concern: Cascade Thermal Imaging is an excellent Thermal Imaging vendor. I was initially impressed because Larry Stratton came out to describe the services they offer and their business approach. He then introduced his Lead Electrician Presten who gave me a great degree of comfort with his knowledge and safety practices. They were very organized and thorough. The report was very detailed and the job went very well without any interruptions of service for our tenants or any complaints. They are great guys to work with. Cascade Thermal Imaging finished ahead of schedule and completed the report in 3 days. Our last Thermal Imaging contractor took over 30 days to do the imaging and considerably longer to deliver the report. www.ableserve.com We were so pleased that we signed a contract for 5 years with Cascade Thermal Imaging. I also invited them to do a presentation to our monthly chief's meeting to Thermal scan other buildings in Able Engineering's portfolio. I have no reservations to recommend or hire them to handle any job big or small. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me at 206-386-8052.

January 25, 2010 Cascade Thermal Imaging, Inc. 6312-150th Ave NE Redmond, WA 98052 Dear Project Management Team at Cascade Thermal Imaging, Inc.; I wanted to take a minute to thank you and your thermography technicians for the outstanding job they have performed for us over the last couple of years. The Infrared Inspections for moisture intrusion and energy loss on the condo and commercial office properties we are called on to inspect have proven time and time again to be amazingly accurate and useful. The promptness and the detail of the reporting system has saved us and especially our clients tens and often times hundreds of thousands of dollars in unnecessary demolition of good construction materials. Infrared inspection has made location of moisture intrusion problems a much more accurate determination; enabling our clients to plan and budget for the prioritization of actual necessary repairs that might be needed rather than the old contractor stand by of better completely strip and re-clap all the siding on all the buildings. And the visuals of the energy loss inspections have been impressive and thought provoking to our clients to say the least. We have tried many techniques over the past years to make such determinations, but the non-invasive Infrared Inspection is without question the most effective and the most cost efficient and accurate method of making such determinations. Our experience with CTI has been more than positive from our first IR inspection, the level of communication and commitment to outstanding service to us and our clients is uncommon to say the least. Our clients and we here at Jeff Samdal & Associates are happy with the relationship we have developed with CTI and the overall experience. We are surely going to continue to utilize this amazing technology and highly recommend your services to our other clients and others within our industry as well. Thanks again for the outstanding service and the high level of commitment to honest and ethical business practices, which we truly appreciate having CTI as one of our preferred vendors. Sincerely, Jeff Samdal Jeff Samdal & Associates
LinkedIn Recommendations Robert Bernard has endorsed your work as Infrared Inspection Specialist at Cascade Thermal Imaging, Inc. Dear Larry, I've written this recommendation of your work to share with other LinkedIn users. Details of the Recommendation: "Larry is a truly outstanding contractor and person. His high level of professionalism, his dedication to providing great results, his honesty and integrity make him a unique and rare find. I would not only use Larry for any and all thermal imaging needs, but would highly recommend him to anyone interested in understanding the energy use, leaks and issues with their homes or commercial buildings. Larry is a fantastic contractor and person. Rob Bernard" Service Category: Thermal Imaging Year first hired: 2008 (hired more than once) Top Qualities: Great Results, Personable, High Integrity ========================================================================= Larry was instrumental in assisting a residential home buyer client of mine when we discovered what seemed to be a small window leak in new construction that she was purchasing. The inspector recommended further evaluation and Larry was our guy - he came out very quickly and ran a thermal test on the 3 story property where we discovered the entire first floor had a major design and install issue - water was all over in the walls. While we couldn't convince the builder to fix the issue (it was $70k worth of work) it did save my client the long term cost of repairs and dealing with a home that would likely become mold infested. This was a HUGE relief for her to be taken care of in this way. She is now happy with a different home closer to where she wanted to buy to begin with so it all ended up perfectly. I'd have a client work with Larry again in a heartbeat and have recommended him to many of my real estate colleagues.
