What Clients Say About Ben

5.0 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.”

“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.”

“I deal with all kinds of home inspectors. Ben is amazing and my go-to Guy for my personal inspections. Attention to detail combined with his knowledge as a master tradesmen mean nothing is missed. However, he has a great way of putting findings into perspective so as to help people make good decisions. A TOP pro and a TOP person.”
