I would understand if he was overbooked and couldn't fit me in; but he can't even bother to call me back to tell me, if that is even the case. It leaves me to wonder how thorough he really is if he can't be bothered to take a few minutes to return someone's call. It suggests a real lack of professionalism.

Their inspection report draws upon current building code and employ's scare tactics with boiler…read moreplate builders jargon to buyers when a home built 25 years ago doesn't meet current code. The inspector did not know the difference between a smoke detector versus a combined smoke/co detector and reports the lack of co as a danger to prospective buyers. Inspector reports out of code stair risers, out of code deck spindles, out of code deck stairs and railing structures that have been in place for 25 years as failure points that need immediate attention. Their over reaching comments have scared away two potential buyers and they should be avoided at all costs. Their opinions are written as crisis points that need immediate attention regardless of code differences between now and the time when the inspection property was built. They reviewed the electrical system, pointing out one circuit breaker housing two circuits is acceptable to code then followed up with their opinions of unsafe practices. Stay away from this company. With their report, the only house that would be satisfactory would be a new house.

We trusted our realtor to hire Peak Performance Home and Building Inspectors and what a naive…read moremistake as first-time home buyers. They inspected our 120-year-old farmhouse but overlooked a very long list of important things. They noted on the inspection to simply fix a few GFCI outlets, however, we ended up getting a separate electrical inspection (after we purchased the home) and learned we had knob and tube that needed $12,000 worth of electrical repairs. Peak Performance also claimed they couldn't inspect our septic because they "couldn't find it" - come to find out there was a septic leak into our basement and the basement was filled with effluent and ended up costing us over $10,000 to fix the septic issue that Gina and the team couldn't find. We also asked them if they found any mold, and they said no. 8 months later, our tenant has mold toxicity and is very sick. During renovations, we not only found toxic black mold, but asbestos in the walls and none of this was disclosed to us. The list goes on, but these are just a few examples of what this team overlooked. Due to their negligence, it has cost us $300,000 in renovation costs that we were not prepared for, and that could have possibly been negotiated with the seller had we not depended on Peak Performance's inspection results. We do not recommend.

And to top it off when I went to take a shower this morning, they had shut my water heater off and never turned it back on! since it's an electric water heater, it's gonna take forever to heat up so now I get to go to work without showering!
