What Our Customers Are Saying
Peter (Owner) responded to our rather urgent request within the first day - confirmed on price and timing of inspection immediately so we can make a timed decision. Inspector Peter showed up on time. The home buyer inspection report was received within 24 hr of the inspection - it is rather thorough. Buyer was able to go to seller for repair credit and close the deal on time!! We will hire Crest Home Inspection again. thank you.
We are first time homebuyers and hired Peter for the home inspection based on a recommendation from a friend, and we are so glad we did! He was punctual and thorough. He provided us with a very detailed report with clear images to go along with all of the described issues. Anytime we had a question about something in the report, Peter followed up with a prompt phone call to clarify information. We felt reassured and well-informed throughout the process and would highly recommend him.
Great and responsive inspector. Very efficient to work with and he gave the results the next day.

Peter was very quick to reply, super thorough and undoubtedly quite experienced. Answered all our questions and made us... feel comfortable with our next steps and asks of the Seller. Not to mention, he seems like a great guy; ask him about his journey across the North Atlantic!read more

Peter Harley from Crest Home Inspections did an excellent job with our home inspection. I had reached out to a few... inspectors to understand their home inspection process and received varied responses. Peter talked with me at length prior to scheduling the inspection and took time to answer all my questions and concerns upfront. He was quick to respond even before I had requested his services. He also assured me that in order to not rush himself with the inspection he schedules only 1 inspection per day.On the day of the inspection Peter arrived on time ~ 9.30am. I had planned on being present for the inspection and go along with him. Peter finished his inspection at 3.30pm- a full 6 hours. He took his sweet time and also explained/showed things in the home that I need to be careful about in the future. I accompanied him into the attic, crawlspace, porch and other locations. Along the way he took multiple pictures and also videos to highlight the issues on his report. He also has a Thermal Imaging camera that will show problems that may not be quickly visible via naked eye, and this service was for no additional charge.Peter's inspection report was clear to read and understand. He uses an online software tool that lets you access the home inspection report. You can also download a PDF file and send it across. The online tool is quite intuitive to use.Overall getting the home inspected from Peter at Crest Home Inspections was a good experience and I would recommend using Peter's services to anyone.read more

I needed a home inspector at the last minute for an investor purchase. I have to say I was impressed! Peter was... extremely responsive; he got back to me right away, I was able to book my inspection immediately on his website. On the day of the inspection he was on time, very professional, courteous and best of all I got my inspection report the same day. I will definitely be referring him to anyone that needs a home inspection.read more
