I called with a last minute request for help and Kristen took my call and worked with me to make it happen. While I did not end up needing the service, I was so appreciative of Kristen's courtesy and willingness to work with me that I had to leave a review. If this singular interaction is any indication of their work, I would recommend these folks to my family and friends. read more

I like to spend my money keeping in local businesses to help them thrive, and I know that Jamie is a life long Elk Grovian and owns a local home inspection service. We made an appointment and just as I figured, Jamie was right on time. Jamie was knowledgeable, transparent, and well versed in the home inspection arena. He went right to work and efficiently completed the inspection. After the inspection was completed, he went over his findings and stated that the report would be completed and in my email box in the morning. True to his words, the email was waiting for me when I awoke. The report was complete, easy to read, and very thorough.

Jamie performed a thorough home inspection on our new home. There have been no surprises so far. Would use Benchmark again if needed.

Jamie provides the most outstanding and distinguishing of home inspections. His level of professionalism and detail sets the standard high for other home inspectors. With his precise eye, he examines everything necessary to live comfortably in your new home. When we met with Jamie for the inspection of our new home, we met the very nice home inspector himself. You would think you were meeting an old friend. Jamie gave us a summary slideshow presentation of points that caught his attention. He then gave us a quick tour to show the location of our main power and shut offs and the location of the water heater and showed us how the gas fireplace operates. He also offered us a warranty that we chose to accept. After the inspection, we received to our inbox the summary report, the full inspection report, and a BuildFax report which showed extra notes like the permits used on the property and what HVAC equipment has changed. We will definitely request the services of Benchmark Home Inspection again. The price is very affordable and the best bang for your buck. read more

Benchmark performed a commercial inspection for a school with which I'm affiliated. It is a well-loved and much-used property, and it is to the point that we needed to know what deferred maintenance requires attention now, and what we should keep our eyes on. Thanks to Benchmark's inspection and report, we now know! Jamie was communicative, on time, thorough, generous with information, and friendly. He clearly explained the issues in this walk through, and we'll have his report to refer to as we plan and budget for the fixes. Such value in knowing what can be remedied now, to avoid larger and more expensive mitigations later. Highly recommend! read more
