I have been a real estate broker for more than 20 years. I'm also a compulsive real estate buyer (I…read moremove 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.

When I bought this house last year, I noticed that heat came through floor vents. I looked at the…read morehome 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!

In his report, complete with detailed explanations and photos, he also gave advice as to how to tend to something to make it more efficient or safe. I did not purchase the property, but the education I received from Dickie was well worth the inspection and investment. I definitely benefited from his expertise and would recommend him to anyone.

My partner and I are in the process of buying a home, and our agent recommended Mike to us for home…read moreinspection services. After researching him and other inspectors, I was very impressed with his credentials, particularly his involvement as past president and being on the board of directors with ASHI. When I saw this level commitment beyond basic certification, I felt confident Mike would be the best pick and I wasn't wrong. Mike went through two inspections with us for two multifamily properties and brought the same level of care and attention to detail to each one. He is patient and funny, answering all our questions thoroughly. We felt that we left our first inspection better equipped to know what to look for in properties we saw afterward, and the very thorough 51 and 45 page reports, respectively, complete with a summary overview, followed my full details and photos was exactly what we needed to feel confident in our decision. Though we knew what to expect since we did the inspections together with him, it's a lot of information to take in during a 3+ hour time and the report helps to ground everything you see. In our opinion, we got more than we paid for the service, and though everything is costing more, Mike can definitely charge more for the quality of work that he does. Though we hope that this will be our home for a while and we don't see him again, we were pleased with his work and recommend him without reservation.

I wasn't sure how necessary an inspection would be on a new construction home, but it was extremely…read moreuseful! The last minute closing details had me saturated with information, I couldn't see and assess the house objectively - and it's hard to judge if an issue is more substantive or minor. Matt pointed things out to us we wouldn't have noticed until later. Most were minor, but a handful were things that really needed to be addressed by the builder, who quickly fixed the items noted. The radon test indicated mitigation was necessary, I was grateful I had it done. Also, we emailed Matt to clarify and confirm a few things once we had a chance to read the report. He responded promptly and thoroughly. I genuinely feel this was money well spent.

And we're yelpers, right so obviously scheduling online is better than calling. Joe (the inspector) is also responsive over e-mail, which I found some inspectors are not. So that's a plus too. Joe was friendly, courteous and professional. It was $350 for a 1 br 600 sq ft condo. Joe arrived a few minutes early (also a plus) and the whole thing lasted a little over an hour. We spent a good chunk of the time in the basement. The only thing possibly bad I can really say is that he didn't use any sort of tools to check for moisture behind the walls (which I've heard some inspectors do), but I'm not sure if that matters. Overall, he was very open to any questions and did a good job explaining things. I received my report a few days later. It was as expected. This was my first home inspection, so I don't have anything to compare it to...it seemed good - 3.5 stars rounded up to 4 because I really can't say if he's better or worse than others.

He thought of things that I would have never given a thought to. I received a report like I've never seen in a home inspection. Every detail was spelled out in full.
