Dylan was the best home inspector money can buy. He spent almost 3 hours with me answering every question i had about the smaller minutia regarding the care of the home, potential issues, and even maintenance. He took lots of time to help explain the various tips and advice he had regarding the care of the home. He was extremely friendly and kind in answering any dumb question I had. I cant recommend him enough especially to home buyers like myself who are new to the region and to home ownership in general.

Dylan provided meaningful feedback on items needing attention (e.g., leaking hose bib, loose stair nosing) while gauging relative urgency of the fixes. He demonstrated his expertise as we discussed the expected lifespan of cellulose insulation & water heaters, root infested sewer lines and CO test of the gas fireplace. The report was thorough with photos and will serve as a reference in the future (e.g., location of water shutoff). I've dealt with home inspectors in the past that seemed to need to go to "specialists" for second opinions on things that to me seemed basic (e.g., circuit capacity

This is the second time weve used Peak Home Inspections and had Dylan as our inspector. He truly is the best in town! With an investment as big as a new home, its important to have someone you trust as your inspector. Hes thorough, patient, and helpful...even going the extra mile to leave detailed notes on things that will help you in your ownership of the home overall. Thank you, Dylan!

Dylan was incredible. This was his second home inspection he did for us and third for our family. We cannot say enough great things about him and his work. He is incredibly thorough in his inspections, always beats us to the house for the appointment, and a true professional. He takes time to explain things in a way that my wife and I can understand and provides explanations to help us feel confident in making decisions on purchasing a home. He is a man on integrity who is looking out for the best for you and your family. His passion for is work is evident. His team is so timely with follow ups

Dylan is amazing! He is exceptionally thorough and very friendly. He took the time to explain all of his concerns with us and gave us suggestions on what to expect in the coming years of owning our house, and did not leave until he was sure we did not have any more questions for him. Also, he was available to inspect our home within a couple of days of contacting him-- I was told that getting an inspector out within a week is the norm, but Dylan came through for us in a flash. I highly recommend Dylan and Peak Home Inspections. His trustworthiness and professionalism is refreshing and reassuring
