October, 2025: Steve Cauvel inspected my home in Ashland because I am thinking about selling it and…read morewanted to know everything that is wrong with it. He wrote a long list of problems and suggestions and took many pictures. I found him to be thorough and professional, and his report was sent to me the same day. He also had suggestions for preparing my home to show well. I plan to hire him again after I have made some of all of the changes he suggested. I highly recommend Steve of Marquee Home Inspections.

We recently used Peak Building Inspections to evaluate a home we were purchasing in Grants Pass. We…read morewere lucky enough to have Adrian Reyes as our inspector. Adrian was an absolute pleasure to work with. He was professional, thorough and explained in great detail all of the issues he encountered. In addition, he also pointed out all of the positive things he saw in the house too, of which there were many. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for a comprehensive inspection of a home.

He started with an introductory phone call to let me know that he could get me in by the next morning. Went over the steps with me and payment was seamless. The next day, he let me know when he showed up and also a time that would be good to meet after, to go over the details. The quality of his inspection was more than I honestly expected. He was informative at the time of review and made us feel confident in our choices with how we proceeded. I'm very happy with the inspection. Thank you, Adrian!

Unfortunately, I had a big problem with my inspection, and I cannot recommend this company to…read moreanyone. In short, the inspector could not fit through a crawlspace constriction that just beyond it had a bad water leak in a PEX pipe and mold. This damage was not hidden; it was readily visible while crawling through the area. The discovery was incidental, not even part of the planned work. While I'm fortunate the repairs were within my contractor's capability, the incident has caused considerable disruption, delaying our move-in indefinitely and incurring unexpected costs. I understand that not every issue can be found, especially with legitimate access limitations. However, when an inspector claims a space is inaccessible yet it's easily navigable by an average person, it points to a critical failure in the inspection process. I believe a more diligent inspection would have uncovered this problem, and as a result, I cannot recommend this company. The significant oversight has caused a lot of stress and financial burden. update: As I've lived in the home for a little while now, I have found more issues that were not documented in my inspection. While this company is dismissing my leak/mold concern as being in an area they were not able to inspect, there are other misses I wanted to update the review with: 1. Deck missing ALL handrail fasteners, like 150 of them! Deck was unsafe and should not have passed inspection in that state! 2. Fireplace refractory panels severely damaged and in need of replacement 3. Multiple gutter issues with incorrect pitch or missing flashing 4. Another deck that is missing additional reinforcing fasteners, including a bolt that was sheared. In this case, at least it's a simple fix but should have been caught in a visual inspection. 5. Roof line missing drip edge flashing. This could rot the roof in a few years, and I need to make an urgent repair. 6. Roof vents have degraded sealant on rubber boots. This should have been visible even from a ladder (not walking the roof). These were all apparent upon visual inspection and should be issues existing at time of inspection. While nothing on this list is a deal-breaker in and of itself, the cumulative list of issues I've spent the past months working through and discovering more of is tiring. I have missed out on many thousands in seller concessions in addition to my personal time trying to fix these problems myself, or hiring contractors when it's out of my league.

He found several electrical safety hazards and other issues that the other inspector completely missed! What my wife and I liked most about Mike's report is that he not only provided us a laundry list of things that needed to be fixed, he also included information about materials and cost-effective DIY approaches that will be saving us money as we begin improving our home, using his inspection report as our guide. Mike spent over 4 hours on the inspection and it showed in the amount of information and observations he was able to include in the report. We visited the home at the end of the inspection and he spent another 30 mins walking through the report with us, making sure we understood what he found as well as giving us advice on how we can better take care of and improve our home. We actually had to cut him off to go to our next appointment! If we are ever buying a home again in the Southern Oregon area, Mike with Functional Foto is the first inspector on our list.

Run the other way!! We had our home inspected by Michael Fowler of Functional Foto and found him…read morerude and his cursory inspection missed numerous and obvious areas of concern that would have factored into our decision to purchase this home. For example mice had invaded the attic with ample evidence of mouse droppings and urine within inches of the access door to the attic. I removed a large bag of rodent droppings from the crawlspace beneath the house (not to mention urine), something that was impossible to miss unless not looking. The areas around toilets showed obvious evidence of seal leakage but was not identified on the report. One automatic garage door opener didn't even work when operating the button near the door. Outdoor lights didn't operate and the list goes on. The attic fan had seized and was not operational. The Jacuzzi tub won't turn on and electric plugs are not operational. Don't waste your money. We're facing significant costs which should have been fixed by the previous owner because we were unaware and Michael was more interested in how he was going to get paid rather than doing the job he was being paid to do. I've worked with numerous home inspectors through the years and Mr Fowler was the worst, telling me I was not welcome to be around while he was inspecting "our" future house. What a waste of money. We've relayed this to our realtor and hope she never refers clients to this inspector.
