I have been a real estate broker for more than 20 years. I'm also a compulsive real estate buyer (I move every 2-4 years). I recommend Peter Drougas to all my clients and use only him myself. I like Peter because he is thorough and honest without being sensational. He is current with codes and regulations and realistic when it comes to what needs immediate attention vs. which items can wait on repairs. He isn't afraid to crawl under stuff and he catches things other inspectors miss. I trust him with what is usually the most expensive investment me and my clients will ever make. read more

Drougas Inspections - Loads of pictures with explanations in the report! - Home Inspectors Near Me - Barrington, New Hampshire

When I bought this house last year, I noticed that heat came through floor vents. I looked at the home inspector and asked him what do I do with a husky? If all his hair goes down there, I'm going to have huge repairs. He thought about it and said buy a roll of screen mesh and put screen mesh underneath. Well, as I prep my house for winter I can't thank him enough. All I had to do today was take the covers off, remove the old mesh full of animal hair, replace with new mesh, and close. Took all of 15 minutes to do 6 vents. Thank you Drougas Home Inspectors! read more

See all

We used Drougas Inspections for a house inspection. We were told by multiple people that house inspections was a waste of money and not worth it. Glad we didn't listen to them because Drougas Inspections was very thorough and found things we didn't even notice. Because of this thorough inspection we ended up backing out of a house that would have been a huge headache had we not done the inspection, or worse got an incompetent inspector instead. I would highly recommend Drougas Inspections to my friends and family. Peter was very kind, professional, and knowledgeable. read more

We needed to find an inspector for the inspection of the first house that we were looking to purchase. Drougas Inspections was recommend to me by a friend. I called around to a few inspectors but Peter spoke with me for 20 minutes and answered all of my questions while explaining the inspection process. I was able to place a request for scheduling the inspection online which was very helpful and convenient. Because this was to be our first house and because it was an older house, Peter brought up some points of which to be aware that I did not know but were easy enough to handle. One point was the possibility of the sewer line from the house to the street being an issue since it was the original pipe over 100 years old. He suggested I call the town to find out if it had been replaced. If it had not been replaced he suggested that I have a septic company come out to scope the line. After calling the town, I needed to have a septic company come out. Peter was able to have this scheduled for us. He also was able to test radon and have the canisters placed in the house and picked up with results soon after. On the day of the inspection an employee, Ryan, showed up early and we were able to start. Ryan gave us an explanation of what to expect, how the inspection would be conducted, and he told us to ask whatever questions we had. We were able to follow him around to learn about the house. He pointed out important things of which we should be aware. He was extremely thorough and took his time noting anything and everything that was tested while taking an extensive amount of photos. Before he left he again explained what the report would show generally. He also said if we had any other question that we should not hesitate to call at any point. That did not mean just soon after the inspection. He said at any point down the line. The report came soon after the inspection. There were a lot of photos with narrative. The report was well organized and explained what to be aware of going forward. I felt very confident in my decision to hire Drougas Inspections for my inspection. I would and will recommend them to do a home inspection. read more
