John was, hands down, the best home inspector we've ever dealt with. Prompt, thorough, patient, and followed up with a fantastic written report right away. We'd give him 10 stars if allowed. read more

John has an exceptional commitment to his work and truly stands by his inspections. We hired John to inspect a townhome we were purchasing. During the inspection, he discovered a leak in the neighboring unit that shared a wall, proactively checked it with moisture-detection equipment, spoke with the onsite contractor, and thoroughly examined our adjoining wall--which was moisture-free at the time. About a month after moving in, we discovered a ceiling leak below the master bathroom. Coincidentally, John was inspecting a condo we were selling that same day. When we told him about the issue, he immediately offered to stop by and recheck it. He returned twice (including a weekend visit), at no charge, to re-inspect both our unit and the neighbor's once access was available. His follow-up helped us understand the likely cause and next steps. John went well beyond expectations, and we're really grateful for his diligence and integrity. We highly recommend him. read more

Very, very thorough and super nice too. Easy to schedule and showed up right on time. I highly recommend!

Professional, friendly, and thorough. John was a pleasure to work with and wouldn't hesitate to refer to a friend.

Great communication, thorough work and report, good advice for taking best care of my home.

I've hired John many times to do a full home inspection for my clients. He always does an excellent and thorough job. I highly recommend him! read more

John is so professional and thorough, appreciate his knowledge and service. I would highly recommend John Benz read more

John was such a pleasure to work with! He was on time, wore a mask and had all the tools to do a proper inspection. As first time home buyers, he educated us a lot throughout the process and gave great advice and wrote up a very thorough report. John did a great job of cleaning up any messes made during during inspection as well. For example, some insulation came undone and dropped on the floor from the attic and he vacuumed it up right away. John is extremely knowledgeable and has been doing this for a very long time so you can trust he knows what he is doing. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for prompt and friendly service! read more

We needed someone to come out and see how things were looking in our home before our builder warranty expired. John was super friendly, thorough and explained everything he was looking for as he went along. He wrote up findings we could share with our builder which was super helpful, all at a fair price! Reach out to John, you won't regret it! read more

John came out on short notice and allowed me to walk with him for almost four hours as he inspected all aspects of the home I was buying. Being that the home was almost 100 years old, what he pointed out to me as problems to fix and what they may cost and other items to watch out for was really helpful. No hesitation in recommending him. read more

John was prompt, courteous, knowledgeable and knew how to articulate issues or concerns in a calm, non-alarming manner. He photographed potential problem areas for reference and welcomed my homebuyers and myself shadowing him anywhere we cared to follow. Ours was a really big home so he quickly took a break between inspecting the exterior and the interior to check in with our clients. He patiently answered all our questions. He also offered maintenance and home care suggestions that were very valuable to our clients. I have been a realtor for decades and would recommend you call him for peace of mind, whether you are buying a newly constructed or 100-year-old home. He uses drone technology to make sure all roofing components are completely inspected, regardless of height. He goes into spooky attics and creepy crawl spaces and that's where photos are especially helpful. He thoroughly inspects all major systems of a home and does so with a positive attitude and at a competitive price. Call John to see for yourself and good luck with your home purchase!

John did a great and thorough job inspecting my potentially future home. He was informative giving suggestions on how some of the things can be fixed. His communication was great and his report was very fast. Even though I wasn't able to be there for the inspection, he considered some of my questions (eg is there a good place for a hot tub)? I highly recommend him and will use him again in the future. read more

John is one of the most professional and thorough inspectors I have ever worked with. He is always on time or arrives early. He's never been late to one of my inspections. He does what he says he will do. He is also open to constructive criticism without being defensive. He is a true professional and sort of a James Bond of his field. He has all the cool gadgets to go above and beyond what most other home inspectors will usually miss. I would recommend him highly! read more

I have used John a couple of times for home inspections and he never disappoints. Always on time and thorough with his analysis of the property, John is the first call I make anytime I need to book a home inspection. I highly recommend booking John for your home and RRIO inspection needs. read more

I worked with a multitude of inspectors and with John you will have someone with an easy going demeanor, who is trust worthy, hard working and honest. If you are a prospective buyer, read carefully. I have two suggestions: - Don't give into the sellers market and bypass inspection. If your agent suggests that, get another agent. Always inspect your home. - Don't just go off an inspector recommended by your agent or bank. Ultimately you are paying for it so do your due diligence. You want someone looking after your own interests. read more

John did a thorough job despite snowy and storming conditions. He stayed an extra hour beyond the two hour limit to finish the job. We were so impressed by his professionalism and explanations. If only all home inspectors were this good. read more

My experience with WIN West Seattle (and John) was outstanding! From the beginning, I knew I had chosen the right inspection company. Buying a home is a stressful process, and John's thoroughness, and impeccable professionalism put my (stressed) mind at ease. I was present during the inspection in West Seattle, and I was very impressed by his methods, modern equipment, and techniques. His office was very responsive, and they were able to accommodate me in short notice. The report provided was impressive, front-to-back. I loved all the pictures and carefully worded explanation from all the findings. It allowed me and my wife to negotiate repairs with the seller in a reasonable manner. I highly recommend John for your inspection needs! A+! read more

John has done dozens of inspections for my clients. He has proven his worth time and time again by either discovering huge potential problems with home or reassuring my clients that they are purchasing a solid home. He just did two inspections this month for my clients. One for a seller who was going to provide a pre-inspection to potential buyers. John was able to update the inspection report once my clients fixed all the small things he found before the home went on the market. That home sold in two days! The also did an inspection on new construction for my first-time home buyers. We were able to request to have these items fixed before closing. Most inspectors would have missed the things he uncovered. He's an invaluable resource in my business. read more

Super knowledgeable and helpful, showed up early and did a thorough inspection on our house. Went over all the results in detail and walked me through the locations of where issues were. Would definitely call on John again. read more

I don't normally write reviews but felt compelled to do so based on the Home Inspection service I received from John. From initially meeting him at the property to the time we completed the inspection, John demonstrated professionalism and knowledge in his field. I am in the construction industry I even walked away from this experience knowing more about what to look for when purchasing a home then before I arrived, he clearly knows what he is doing. Quality vs Quantity - If you are looking for someone who isn't rushing to get to the next house and genuinely interested in your best interest and taking the time to do so, I strongly recommend John. Plus, he is definitely invested in his company. He was fully outfitted with all the newest technology. I was impressed when he broke out his thermal imaging gun to survey piping and electrical services hidden behind walls. But when he launched his camera equipped drone to inspect the roof and exterior I knew I picked the right person. If you are looking to purchase a home and want to know what you are buying, and have someone give you the info to make the right decision, John is you guy!! read more

Very happy with WIN inspections. John was very thorough and efficient. He showed up on time for the appointment, actually a little early. He explains his findings and lets you know what the remedy is in a way that's easy to understand. I like that he tells you why something is in need of correction,, and the potential problems you could have in the future if not corrected. Highly recommend! read more

The home I recently purchased was inspected by this company. A week after moving in, we smelled a sewer smell in the home and discovered a half-dollar sized hole in an already exposed pipe in the home. Every time we flushed the toilet, the water splashed out into the basement. Gross. How could this be missed? It was totally open and exposed. Now we wonder what else was missed during the inspection... read more

John was incredibly professional and thorough in his inspection. I am very happy he was my home inspector! He was waiting outside the building when I arrived and had already checked the exterior of the condo. Inside, he checked everything from top to bottom and showed a great deal of knowledge. He even walked me through the process, explained what he was doing, and showed me where things were. When we couldn't get access to the water heater, he volunteered to return the next day when we would have access to that part of the building. He was very patient when I had to go and get some missing paperwork. His inspection forms were completed quickly. Thanks, John! read more
