I made an offer on a home in Depoe Bay and Peter put together a great inspection report complete with pictures and suggestions. Peter was available on short notice and prompt with his email and text responses. He examined every piece of the property including the crawl space, roof, surrounding walkways, power lines, vegetation, sink plumbing, door openings, electrical panel, etc. I appreciate his attention to detail and I now have a lot of confidence moving forward knowing the pros and cons of the property I'm considering. His final inspection report is worth every penny and I would definitely use him again in the future.

Peter was very thorough and provided us with a great in detail report. He was very professional and took the time to explain and show his findings. He was on time and I would highly recommend using him.

Too bad we didn’t hire Peter from the start. We were new to the coast and bought our first home. The first inspector missed big issues and we ended up with a home that was majorly rot. We called Peter to do a second look after we started having issues (only 6 months into living in the home). He was thorough yet concise and has been so helpful and kind throughout the process of trying to identify and correct the issues.

We made an offer on a beautiful home in Neskowin. The inside of the home was impeccably cared for. The only thing we could observe that was wrong with the house was that there was quite a bit of dry rot on the decks. We honestly thought that was going to be the biggest item of concern with this house. But Peter found some other major issues including mice/bats in the attic (and therefore in the walls) and years of accumulated droppings. The roof was at the end of it's useful life. Even though it was 17 years old -- the house was up high on a bluff and therefore subjected to some pretty extreme weather. He could see that it had been patched a few times already -- so patching was no longer an option. The roof needed replacement. He found some other major things as well -- all things that could be repaired or replaced. But our biggest concern was the amount of mice (and possibly bat) droppings throughout the insulation in the attic and walls. The health issues related to that worried us. We were very thankful for Peter's thorough inspection and honesty with us. He does a great job and we will always use him for any inspections in the future!
