Found Darren's business on Yelp for local building inspectors. I booked an appointment with him and although we had a tough inspection on a fixer upper he was as thorough as possible, professional and gave many helpful recommendations in his report. Highly recommend him for this line of work. He definitely knows what he's doing. read more

Darren was very thorough and supportive in helping us first-time buyers explain the importance of safety during our home inspection. He was very professional and kind, characteristics that are hard to find in the working world. We highly recommend PPG Inspectors, Darren specifically for any home inspections. Thank you, Darren! read more

This is our 2nd or 3rd time now working with Darren and he's definitely our go to inspector. Punctual, professional, and very helpful after the inspection with answering your questions. Give him a call! read more

Darren is the best in the business. Reliable, fast, and most importantly, catches every little thing that could be an issue. If you want a thorough home inspection, don't go anywhere else read more

I've worked with several home inspectors in the past, and by far I trust Darren the most. Just spend a few minutes with Darren and it becomes clear that his words come with decades of experience and expertise. He'll not only lay out the "facts" - the recommendations and observations that go into the inspection report - but also let you know what a reasonable home owner should be worried, or not worried, about. Even days after the inspection, I was able to call him with more questions, and he spent half an hour each time walking me through my questions. In addition to his deep expertise, Darren goes the extra mile to develop trust with you, which - as a home buyer who's about to spend a lot of money to purchase a home - is invaluable. For example, his home inspection led him to believe that the home was clean and recommended that it didn't need a mold inspection, even though his business would benefit from that. I deeply respected his integrity. I highly, highly recommend working with Darren, and will absolutely work with him again in the future! read more

Darren came highly recommended by our realtor and he did not disappoint! He is an amazing inspector who is very thorough & detail oriented - which is reflected both in his in-home inspection & prompt inspection reports. We also really appreciated that he took time out for us to really understand the issues at hand & help determine if the repair is a credit Vs handy-man or a 'honey-do' job. Lol. Home buying is stressful but hiring Darren will be on of the best decision to help alleviate some stress. Thanks Darren! (Otto + Esther) read more

Darren is top notch. He's flexible, very knowledgeable, personable and professional. It was a pleasure doing business with him and I recommend him highly ! read more

Daren is a great guy. He gives honest reports and he's very professional. He really does his best to make sure that he checks out everything and he makes you feel like he's a down to earth great guy. He's very reliable I highly recommend him to everyone and I had him to inspect my home before I bought it and I'm now selling it and I had him to come back and do an a thorough inspection. I totally trust Daren. He's an awesome awesome guy you will feel very relieved when he comes to inspect, he's very good with animals. I have three small dogs, and one is the real yapper and he was very good with them. read more

Darren Mars inspected our home and was exceptional on every level. He was extremely thorough and explained everything that he was doing, and then sent us a very detailed report, which he then went through all of the information in it. You could not ask for a better person for the job and we highly recommend him and his company, PPG Inspectors. David and Erica read more

Darren was punctual, thorough, patient, and great to work with. He was very friendly and I felt at ease during the home inspection. Watching Darren in action I can see how detail oriented he is and this is reflected in his report that he sent over promptly. Darren would make sure to show me something he found when I was not present. He was very patient in explaining things to me and I appreciate his honesty on how he would approach a problem. Darren was highly recommended by my realtor and I can see why. If I ever need a home inspection again in the future I will definitely reach out to Darren because he is someone that I can trust. read more

My husband and I were in the process of buying a home and we called upon Darren's services to inspect the property. You can tell that he is incredibly seasoned and meticulous with the work that he does, as he inspected the house from top to bottom. Darren is very thorough - even going so far as to snake a camera through our drain pipe to ensure that it was unobstructed by roots! After he completed his inspection Darren walked us through the property and explained what needed to be done, even going so far as to regale us with specific city codes and anecdotes (which I found highly interesting). If you're looking for someone who you can trust and who's highly professional, look no further than Darren Mars & PPG Inspectors! read more

Darren has done 2 inspections for me this week. I have NEVER seen such thorough inspections. There is no detail that escapes his attention and not only does he note potential problems but suggests sensible fixes. Knowing that this kind of meticulous inspection has been conducted, gives me a clear road map to negotiating repairs with sellers. That kind of information is invaluable. Thank you for that Darren read more

I needed a quick turn inspection and Darren was extremely responsive and accommodating with my timeline. From the moment we started talking about the property you could tell he was knowledgeable and truly cared about his business and the clients he cares for. He was very thorough with my inspection, outlined all of his recommendations and called out issues even those that would seem minor to someone else. I enjoyed working with him and will recommend him to others. read more

Mr. Mars from PPG Inspectors performed a very thorough inspection and was very clear as to the minor issues the property had. He answered all questions asked while giving an in-depth explanation as to why the issue occurred and how to fix them in a cost-efficient manner.

I am greatly appreciative of his attention to detail and unbiased opinions and recommendations. I would highly recommend PPG Inspectors to future homebuyers that are looking to have the job done RIGHT the first time. Thank you again Darren read more

I have purchased over a dozen homes in my life and I have never had a home inspector as great as Darren. He came totally prepared to inspect everything - inside and out - basement and crawl space to rafters and roof. He was incredibly thorough and stayed as long as he needed to stay to cover every inch of the house and document every detail for me. And he wore a mask and took COVID Precautions. His report was incredibly detailed and he found some hidden issues I had never even considered. And what a great guy! I recommend Darren Mars and PPG INSPECTORS 100% read more

I was already a couple days into my 7 day contingency to get an inspection when I reached out to Darren. As busy as the market has been lately I was a bit concerned about being able to get my inspection done within the time frame I needed it by. Darren's response was prompt and professional and he scheduled me for my inspection in no time, and completed it as promised. While he was doing the inspection I stopped by to check in and he walked me through a couple of the issues so I'd have an idea as to what I was dealing with right away. I wasn't able to stay long due to a prior commitment, so my wife stopped by after and he took the time to walk her through everything and go over it with her. His report came in a timely and professional manner in both a PDF as well as an uploaded server. All in all I couldn't have asked for anything more. read more

My main inspector I use for my projects, darren is very knowledgeable and honest with his inspection assessments. Priced very fairly and will be patient with any amount of questions buyers or investors will have for him read more

I had such a great experience working with Darren and Rashad. Darren was very responsive and answered all of my questions. Rashad was the inspector I worked with and I can't say enough about him. He was prompt, professional, friendly and informative. While going over his findings he educated me, gave me great advice and addressed all of my concerns. PPG is a trustworthy company who works for the client and I highly recommend them to anyone buying a house. read more

As first time homebuyers, my wife and I found Darren and PPG to be immensely professional, thorough, and helpful beyond all expectation. Darren spent several hours in our home, outside, on the roof, and everywhere in between. He identified a number of issues and explained everything with a level of detail that not only educated us, but helped guide us to make the right decisions. A week or two after our inspection, when I had a few questions about his assessment of certain power outlets, he took the time out of his day and spent several minutes to walk me through potential steps to address the maintenance. We can't recommend Darren and PPG Inspectors enough! read more

I highly recommend using PPG Inspections!!! Darren came highly recommended by a Broker friend of mine and I was not disappointed.

I will be definitely using them again for all my inspection needs. read more

I've been in the real estate business for awhile, and wanted only the best for the purchase of my home. We requested Darren's services for a previous property; and because of his expertise, work ethic and overall personality we hired him again a few weeks later for our primary residence. He doesn't rush his inspections and takes his time to thoroughly investigate everything. After he was done, Darren ran through every item that he found concerning in detail. He provided his opinions, suggestions and overall advice on what to do with each line item which was very helpful. I really liked hearing the hardcore facts and the truth. I could tell he truly enjoys what he does and takes pride in his profession. Highly recommend! read more

I am so appreciative of his thorough work and encouragement! read more

Early in the escrow process my realtor highly recommended Darren & PPG Inspectors. I was amazed how quickly, throughly and professionally Darren arranged a time slot for an inspection of the property I was purchasing. Darren arrived to the property early, and went straight to work with my realtor! He explained every detail of the process in simple terms, and even offered many a helpful suggestion to help maintain my future property. I could not be more pleased with the high quality of Darren's work and again, how much he helped accelerate the process. Thank you Darren...you are incredible! -Kelly read more

We used PPG when purchasing our first home. Darren was absolutely top-notch. Scrupulous, informative, uncompromising, and has lots of cool technology to boot. He went above and beyond to not only lay out issues with the house but also gave us a roadmap for issues we may have down the line and preventative maintenance we should do to avoid those issues in the long-haul. He has incredibly nuanced knowledge and leaves no stone unturned. I can't recommend him highly enough if you are looking for a home inspection. read more

Darrin was absolutely phenomenal! He was thorough and extremely knowledgeable. He got us the report right away. We feel really lucky to have worked with him. read more

Very happy with Darren - Did a great job inspecting a house in escrow, very thorough, was able to handle our sewer line scope in addition to inspection, and even recommended some professionals for issues that came up. He used a drone to do an inspection of the roof. He was professional, friendly, and courteous. Answered every question we had and clearly takes pride in his work. We never felt rushed, and he made a lot of effort to explain everything he found (all of which was emphasized again in his very thorough report). On top of all that, he's just a pleasant and calm guy to be around, which is especially nice during the stress of buying a house. read more

Darren did a amazing job. As a realtor I have seen my fair share of inspections. Darren took the time to address every concern my client had in detail.Which is not common in. He is a true professional and second to none at his craft. read more

As a first time homebuyer, I wanted to make sure I had an experienced inspector that was going to be both thorough and meticulous with his inspection. Darren was recommended by my realtor as a trustworthy option and I could not have been more satisfied with the results. His report gave me all the information I needed to make a educated decision with my home buying process. Thank you ! read more

I would highly recommend PPG Inspectors! I am a first time home buyer, so the process can be confusing and stressful. Darren was communicative, prompt, thorough and walked me through every step. He made sure I understood everything I needed to know about the inspection process. He was also flexible and easy to make an appointment with during a very busy time! Darren's expertise, professionalism and friendliness made the inspection one of the easiest parts of the home buying process! read more

First time home buyer and I am glad I used Darren as my inspector. He is extremely professional, knowledgeable and patient. Both my agent and I were impressed by his service. He not only pointed out the problems but also gave us a few solutions. He was very specific and recognized even the smallest issues. Darren definitely serves his clients (home buyers) best interest because as buyers, you want to know as much as possible what you are getting. The more you know about the house, potentially the more negotiation power you have against the seller. Darren also has advanced tools such as robot and drone to inspect properties. The results are more detailed than the traditional inspection method. I would highly recommend Darren if you need an inspector. Good communication and great quality of work. read more

CALL PPG!!! This is my first real estate venture (first home purchase) and the experience has left me questioning how "Real Estate Professionals" have the gumption to call themselves "Professional". Darren and PPG Inspectors are a breath of fresh air. If you prefer a quality consultation that explains what to expect in the job you are requesting, CALL PPG! If you prefer that when the job you request is completed in a timely manner, and subsequently the results described to you in a manner that's easy to understand, with as much time as you need to be able to understand and ask follow-on questions, CALL PPG! If you prefer a professional that will execute your service with your best interests in mind, or a service that is more than worth the money you're paying, CALL PPG!!! It would be unnecessary to go in to detail about how much detail Darren provided with my home inspection report, but there was no stone left unturned and I am more than satisfied with the inspection I received. Thank you Darren, the home inspection you provided would be the best part of this venture by far. I wish other home buyers would be able to receive a home inspection of this caliber, but the only way to guarantee that is if...you know it...CALL PPG!!!!! read more

Darren is amazing! We have used him now on two separate properties and no one compares to him. His thoroughness and knowledge is priceless, along with his amazing attitude and personality. Recently I interacted with a different inspector (on a property we were selling- so the inspector was the buyers choice), and I could just not believe the difference! That other inspector was at the home for 20 minutes! How can you truly do a true inspection of all facets of a (large) home in 20 minutes? That's how Darren is different. He is at the property for HOURS! Inspecting every nook and cranny of the home, every outlet, every pipe and sink...everything! And seriously, his prices cannot be beat!! You cannot go wrong with Darren and PPG! If you are looking to purchase a home and need a quality inspector at a competive price, call Darren! read more

It is my pleasure to recognize and acknowledge PPG Inspectors as a thorough and worthy inspection company. My experience with the entire PPG team was professional and efficient. The teams' positive attitude and commitment to providing a high-quality, thorough, and comprehensive inspection report was exactly what I was looking for. Weighted with all the cares of a first-time buyer, I enlisted the help of PPG Inspectors and was extremely grateful when my expectations were exceeded in every area. I'm not typically a consumer who publicly reviews the work of a company, however when I stumbled upon excellence, I felt compelled to share my wonderful experience with you all. Thank you for your attention to my review. Now... HIRE THAT TEAM, YOU WON'T REGRET IT. read more
