What Clients Say About Ben

Google5.0 from 123 Google reviews

“I recently hired Ben for a home inspection, and the experience understandable and reassuring from start to finish. Ben was punctual, well-prepared, and his website explains the process and extras clearly before beginning. Throughout the inspection and walk through, he was patient, thorough, very detail-oriented. I felt like I walked away with a good understanding. The final report was extremely quick, very well-organized, had an easy to understand layout, and included multiple clear photos with practical recommendations. I highly recommend Ben. They truly go above and beyond to ensure you have all the information you need as well as understand that information, in words and visual pictures.”

“We cannot recommend Ben highly enough. A true professional. He meticulously worked through the property, he will give you the good news and bad in an unbiased way, so you have all the facts when you about to make an important decision. I myself work in the trades, and his level of knowledge across all trades was impressive. His reports come with a deficiency checklist, so if you do purchase, he gives a suggested timeline when these are to be addressed. We found him on instagram and his page is well worth a look. The video with the rotisserie crows is our place. Keep up the good work Ben.”

“We had an outstanding experience with PEAK Home Inspection. The inspection was extremely thorough, detailed, and professional from start to finish. Every area of the home was carefully examined, and nothing was overlooked. The inspector took the time to explain all findings clearly, answer our questions, and provide helpful recommendations for both immediate concerns and future maintenance. The final report was detailed, easy to understand, and included clear photos and notes that gave us great confidence in our home purchase decision. We truly appreciated the honesty, knowledge, and attention to detail throughout the process. Highly recommend PEAK Home Inspection to anyone looking for a reliable and trustworthy home inspector!”

“If you are a buying a home, this is the guy you want. He is extremely thorough, knowledgeable and detailed. We have experience with other very well-reviewed inspectors that were nice enough, but when it came to the actual job they did the bare minimum for their report and we had to point out stuff that they missed. Ben found an important issue with our prospective home that a previous inspector had missed, which allowed us to negotiate and plan appropriately. His walk-through with us took longer than most entire inspections I've been to. Can't recommend him enough.”

“Finding a new home can be hard enough as it is. Adding onto it by the "conditions" and possibly buying a lemon with tones of fixes needed you really have to be mindful of a purchase like a home. That's where Ben took all the stress off. While we have bern looking for a long time he has never whimpered or complained about the amount of times I call with questions/ or to inspect a "possible" purchase. Not pushy and finds the stuff that the normal person would over look. It takes alot of stress out of the equation. Thank you Ben for your hard work and attention to detail. Second to none.”

“Ben at Peak saved me a lot of money! I had a problem with my house, had a contractor come and take a look and gave me an absurd guess as to the problem, an even more absurd estimate on the cost to fix it. I had Ben come out and take a look. He diagnosed the problem quickly (it wasn’t the same as what the contractor said) and even referee me a variety of contractors that were honest (at a much less cost!). Can not say enough how grateful and please I am to help me out with this issue!! If only there were more ⭐️‘s!!!”

“Ben was recommended by my realtor to conduct a home inspection on a property I purchased. Even though I had to cancel a couple of times he was gracious and understanding. But when we finally got things together, Ben was friendly, courteous and very professional. He is a fabulous inspector very thorough and didn’t leave anything uncovered. He had the written inspection and pictures included with recommendations on what needed to be done completed by the end of the day. I would recommend him 100 times over.”

“It was a pleasure working with Ben on my home inspection. The report was very detailed and well laid out in the explanations on what needed to be done right away and things that could wait. He gave advice on what a DYI person could do themselves which was helpful. He was quick to answer any questions I asked. I was looking for someone that had a background in the trades and him being an electrician helped in my choice. Would highly recommend Ben.”

“We chose Ben for his experience with Manufactured homes and we weren't disappointed. He has a vast knowledge of the homes systems and provided a detailed report with photos and suggestions for repairs. Ben answered our questions and explained the report while walking us through the home. He is Professional and courteous and quick to reply to enquiries. He provided a very detailed report that same day. We would use his service again and recommend him.”

“I had a great experience with Ben at Peak Home Inspection. Ben was professional, thorough, and incredibly knowledgeable. He took the time to explain everything clearly, answered all of my questions, was super communicative and made the entire process feel straightforward and stress-free. His detailed inspection gave me confidence in our home purchase, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy home inspector.”

“Ben was great from start to finish. I needed an inspection doing at short notice. Ben stepped up, offered his services and the inspection went ahead. Once he had completed it, he called me to quickly go over any points he felt were a priority. Anyway, the report arrived promptly and was professional in both the layout and description. I would have no problem recommending him in the future. Thank you”

“Ben was a great help with our home inspection. He was very honest and upfront. He took his time and did a thorough inspection that gave me and my wife peace of mind. I recommend Ben and his company Peak Home Inspection to anyone looking for a quality inspection from a very qualified person. With his background in electrical, he definitely knew what to look for.! 5/5”

“Impressive! I was so pleased with Ben. He was extremely thorough and he made sure to address each concern that I had regarding my home purchase. Ben used the newest tools and provided a complete picture of the home. The report that I was sent was exactly what I needed for a price reduction for necessary repairs! I highly recommend Ben at Peak Home Inspection.”

“I highly recommend Ben to all of my clients! He is by far the most knowledgeable, professional, and honest home inspector I have worked with. Ben goes above and beyond, he’s thorough in every inspection and can even handle pool inspections. I trust him completely, and I know my clients are in excellent hands when they work with him. Robyn Eng with eXp Realty”

“Ben did an excellent job with our home inspection. He was thorough, professional, and incredibly detailed, explaining everything clearly and providing a comprehensive report with photos. His expertise and commitment to quality were evident throughout the process. Highly recommend Ben for anyone needing a reliable and knowledgeable home inspector!”

“Thank you for the excellent home inspection. I was extremely impressed by the detailed pictures and the clear red, orange and yellow warnings throughout your report.
