Of all of the many home inspection services that I have used over years, Prime Home Inspection is clearly the best. We had a new home built recently and our agent recommended Prime Home. They brought an array of cameras, scopes and instruments to assist in the inspection and they crawled, walked and climbed every inch of the home. The final report was complete and comprehensive (including photos of all defects). Prime Home Inspection has my highest recommendation. read more

This team is the absolute best. Just completed my second inspection with Prime Home Inspection - with Dave and two of his colleagues. They missed nothing. After 3 inspectors were working for several hours, they were not rushing, and careful to cover everything. The report they provide is so complete that it really helped us discuss outstanding issues with the seller easily and efficiently. It also allows you to view it online, and select items and make comments so you can share specific requests / concerns / questions with the seller. This was my 8th or 9th home inspection, and by far the best. Highly recommend. read more

Teddy was awesome. Prompt and professional - very thorough home inspection on a house with a long list. Answered a few follow up questions, responsive and informative - really appreciated his personal approach, highly recommend and will use again if needed in the future! read more

They deserve their 5 star rating. They accommodated a last minute urgent request. Their communication was top notch throughout, and our inspector did one hell of a thorough job (thanks Teddy). Highly recommended. read more

Of the many home inspections I've had (over 20), Dave's was the most thorough, detailed, practical & useful. His common-sense approach resonates with those of us who are not contractors. Best of all, Dave provides copious photographs and notes, making it very easy to understand his findings and order repairs. I highly recommend Prime Home Inspection and will for sure be using PHI for future purchases in the Bend area! read more

Andre was very detailed and covered every inch of the interior/exterior of the house. We are first time home buyers and he made the process go smoothly and stress free. The report was easy to read with detailed pictures to help us understand the comments better. We received the report on the same day of the inspection. We highly recommend Prime Home Inspection! read more

Prompt. Professional. Personable. Thorough. What else could you ask for! I highly recommend Prime Home Inspection!

Andre was extremely professional, thorough and very educational for us, as homebuyers. We learn something new and important about home inspections every time we use Prime Home Inspection, in spite of having alot of experience ourselves. They're the best we've found in Deschutes County, and in other places we've done business as well. read more

Ryan was very thorough in his inspection, mentioning everything from the smallest details to large safety issues. We got a great report with many photos and he even did follow-up research on several issues. We were very pleased with Prime Home Inspection. Ryan was friendly as well. read more

Always extremely thorough, detailed and professional. Tons of pictures for every portion of their reports. I trust them completely and always call them first! read more

Prime Home Inspection performed a very thorough and professional inspection of the Bend home I was buying and their report was as thorough and clear, and it didn't confuse things with subjective comments. I had just sold a house in a different and, in that deal the buyer's inspector was incompetent and caused many problems. I wholeheartedly recommend PMI. read more

Prime Home Inspection is top notch. In the home buying process there is so much guessing and unknown but Dave helps ease some of the pain. I've had many home inspections over the years and they definitely exceeded my expectations. He knows his stuff and documents everything. I'm hoping I never need another home inspection as I want to live at my new home forever but if you're looking for a true professional give Prime Home Inspection a call. read more

By far the most thorough and detailed home inspection report I've ever received. Checking hot/cold (oven, vents, fridge, etc) with a "FLIR" is genius! Everything in the report is easy to read/understand, and the HomeGauge software enabling me to generate a "fix it" list to send to my agent for negotiations was helpful and simple. So so so impressed with Dave and his team. A++++++!!! read more

Dave was friendly and very professional. He came on time, spent several hours and did a super job. He was so professional and spent as much time as it took to tell us what he found. He showed us the pictures and walked through the house to show us some examples. Great job. read more

I'm selling my house and my buyers used Prime Home Inspection. I left soon after he arrived so he could do his work but I wish that I had stayed. He reported, and took pictures to prove it, that my dishwasher leaks and that my toilet leaks. Neither of these things has ever leaked. I ran the dishwasher for two hours and inspected and flushed my toilet many times trying to find the so-called "leaks." My conclusion was that he just made these things up. Why? I have no idea, unless it was to give my buyers ammunition to get me to lower my price?! There is also water damage to baseboards, which obviously comes from water that was on the floor, but he intimated it was from the bathroom on the other side of the wall, scaring my buyers into thinking there's water damage coming through the wall. Luckily my buyers are friends of mine and they came over and they relaxed when they could see the inspector was lying and resorting to scare tactics. If you want the truth and objectivity, don't use these guys!!!! read more

Dave and Carol Peterson operate their business with the utmost professionalism and go out of their way to provide the best service possible. Dave is extremely knowledgeable and his reports thorough and easy to read. He is always willing to answer questions that my home buying clients may have both throughout and after their home inspection and he does so in a patient and friendly manner that they can easily understand. I have no hesitation when it comes to recommending Dave Peterson as a top choice for a home inspection! read more

We had two inspections done by Prime Home Inspection on properties we were considering buying. Both times they did the most thorough inspection possible. The reports were timely and easy to understand. read more

Buying a home in Oregon was new to us, since we had never lived here. We needed someone to conduct a thorough inspection of a home we were considering buying. We had previous experiences with home inspectors recommended by our past agents that left out important details. This time, we wanted to find our own inspector. Prime Home Inspection had great Yelp reviews, so we hired them. Carol was super nice on the phone and scheduled us an appointment the following week. Dave and his co-worker did a fantastic job and the report was extremely helpful in pointing out areas of concern, some issues specific to living in a colder climate, i.e. organic growth, which we do not have any experience with. The report included photos and even video which provided a clear description of any issues allowing us to work with the seller on getting safety issues resolved. The estimated time for the inspection was 2 hours, but it was closer to 3 1/2 hours. All in all, the inspection gave us a clearer view of the home's condition. read more

Dave and Carol were a joy to work with on our new home inspection. They are very detailed and didn't miss anything! Thank you we can move into our house with confidence. The buyers of my current house had an inspection at the same time, and came back with list of thinks that was not correct (after having experts out and paying $3000). I would recommend Prime Home Inspection any time!!! read more

Amazingly thorough and patient! He took heat pictures of radiant flooring which were very helpful. Dave found two major problems that can be easily fixed by the current owners before closing. Great reporting and many points to be aware of in our new home -- I feel there will be no abrupt surprises in the future. read more

I recently contacted Prime Home Inspection for the purpose of a pre-purchase inspection of a home that I am buying. I found their pricing to be very reasonable. From the very first telephone contact with his wife, Carol, to the inspection report completed by Dave, the owner, the service I received was top notch. Dave showed up on time on the date of the inspection. He explained everything he was going to do. He took his time and was very thorough. He was courteous and professional. The completed report which arrived early the next morning was very thorough and easy to read. I highly recommend Prime Home Inspection to anyone needing a thorough home inspection with reasonable rates and excellent customer service. read more

I really enjoy working with Dave at Prime Home Inspections. They are always professional and offer fantastic service to my clients. They're friendly, easy to work with, and are incredibly knowledgeable about homes. read more

From our first interaction scheduling an appointment with Carol to the detailed inspection report sent by Dave, Prime was professional and extremely thorough. Dave was even willing to answer follow-up questions about the report over the phone. They take their work seriously and it shows. I'm glad we chose to work with Prime, and we will do so again in the future. read more

Dave and Carol are fantastic! We are new to Bend and their response time, genuine interest in ensuring we were comfortable throughout the inspection process and expert level of service was beyond our expectations. The time and resources put into Dave's thorough report, not to mention all the pictures to assist us in understanding what he uncovered was so helpful. We highly recommend Dave and the Prime Team! read more

Dave Peterson / Prime Home Inspections acts in the best interests of the real estate agent not the buyer. His entire inspection was geared to convincing us that we should buy the house. He was "recommended" by the real estate agent (a practice which is illegal in some states other than Oregon and is listed as a basic conflict of interest by national inspection trade groups). His inspection is more of a dog and pony show - ie: tells you what a good job he is doing while his wife distract you with a plate of cookies. He missed many items on our inspection. Those items included missing insulation in attic, sagging roof and eaves, improper concrete work, and several other issues. We pointed out some of the issues we saw during the inspection after he missed them. He agreed they were issues which needed to be corrected but then did not put them in the report. If you are not a technical person with a background in construction you would likely think the inspection was good. Dave Peterson puts on a good show if you don't know the details of home construction. He sure fooled us. He stated when hired and his web site at the time also stated he had years of experience as a home inspector in California before moving to Oregon. We checked and found he had never been an inspector in California. When asked about this he stated he had really only been a handyman while in California but "knew what he was doing". He stated he had done some inspections for friends who were real estate agents while in California but was never licensed or legal to do them. His few "reviews" from California are from real estate agents. When directly asked what his experience was doing inspections he stated he was never a legal inspector before moving to Oregon even though he had claimed "years of inspection experience" before arriving in Oregon. He only started doing inspections mid-2015. He does not have the experience he claims. Our advice: hire your own inspector - not one your real estate agent recommends to you. The inspector should be working for you not trying to impress the agent in hopes of getting more recommendations. Dave Peterson / Prime Home Inspections is the perfect example of why. read more

Dave Peterson, with Prime Home Inspection, recently performed a home inspection for my buyer, who is in escrow on an older home, built in 1965. He did an amazing job! He was very thorough, professional and friendly. Although there were several items found, Dave communicated all of the issues to my client perfectly and his report was very easy to read. My client was very impressed. I will, without a doubt, call Prime Home Inspection for my next inspection and highly recommend them to others looking for an excellent home inspector! Terri N. - Bend , OR read more

I couldn't be more pleased both with the owner's response to the request for an immediate inspection due to tight deadline for sale nor with the inspector's diligence. Although I wasn't present for the inspection, the report was exceedingly thorough with great pictures and details. The inspector also was extremely responsive with follow up emails regarding some questions on the report. I highly recommend this business if you need a home inspection. I only wish they were in California where my primary residence is! Thanks Carol and Dave - well done. read more

The review is from the person who's house was inspected by Prime Home Inspection. When I came home after three hours, they were still here, not completed. When they did leave I noticed several things that were not up to what I call a professional job. 1. There were so many scuff marks on my hardwood floors it looked as though there was a dance team in house. I don't know what they were doing in the master bathroom but there were so many marks on floor, I am still finding some in the most unusual places. 2. They looked fireplace but didn't bother to clean what had fallen out of it. 3. Furnace had been turned off as it was hot during the time of inspection. They forced it to 'emergency' somehow and made it run. The garage furnace had been turned on as well and it read 64 when I came home. I don't know how that is possible to turn on to emergency and run?? 4. Stove had been turned on as my house smelled horrible when I came in. I don't know if they 'cleaned' or had just on very high heat but it took 3 weeks for smell to finally subside. 5. Laundry room had scratches on vinyl flooring, it looked as though they pulled in a back and forth motion, as they are scrape marks on floor. 6. I have top up/bottom down shades and they were all over the place, not even close to where they should have been. 7. They checked out the back behind fence, so next morning it gate was swinging in the breeze, not latched. From where I sit this was not a professional job and I wouldn't use them to inspect ANYTHING!!!!! read more

I greatly appreciated working with Dave and Carol Peterson during the inspection of a home I hope to purchase. They were able to arrange a time within a tight window and Dave inspected the home from top to bottom, even the very tight crawl space. This will be the sixth house I've purchased and probably 10th home inspection I've been through. I am thrilled with Dave's thoroughness, documentation and talking me through the issues he found. read more

Dave Peterson did a very thorough job inspecting a home we then purchased. He was thorough and took the time to explain issues and give the correct degree of importance to issues so I could properly evaluate the property. He also was very service oriented and came out on a Sat as we were in a time crunch. Great service! read more
