Our Client Testimonials

Here’s what our inspection clients have to say about their experience with NPI.

Jay J.
Ed Benoit made the inspection of my commercial building a flawless experience. He encouraged me to be at the site while he did the inspection and answered all of my questions. I HIGHLY recommend Ed Benoit and National Property Inspections!
Julia W.
Ed was very thorough and easy to work with. I really appreciated the knowledge and experience he shared with me throughout the inspection! It was challenging to figure out a time that worked for both me and the seller, so it was also great that Ed was able to be flexible and do the inspection in two sessions. Highly recommend!
Megan W.
We loved working with Ed through the inspection process! He was thoughtful, thorough, and made us feel welcome and excited for our new home. Plus, he answered questions openly and clearly, and he shared ideas on how to renovate based on our needs. I highly recommend his wonderful services!
Michael R.
Ed was fantastic during a recent pre-purchase general inspection he performed for me. Ed was very thorough and he provided a clear inspection report. He reached out in less than one day after I submitted a request for inspection and sent the report promptly following inspection. I would absolutely work with him again.
Tom B.
Very thorough, professional, and simply kind. Ed answered all of my questions and, since I am across the country, it was reassuring to have Ed Benoit and Emily Stephens (my realtor) act as my eyes. They performed a walk through, a room-by-room examination, and an exterior and interior structure exam. Thank you for the report and the reassurance!
Maria C.
Ed was wonderful to work with as a first-time home buyer. He was able to make our tight schedule work, answered any and all questions, and provided our report in less than 12 hours! He was responsive, friendly, and knowledgeable. I would recommend him to anyone looking for a home inspection!
Katrina D.
Ed was a pleasure to work with! Responsive, thorough and knowledgeable. I loved that he provided additional resources for homeowners to expand their knowledge on the systems of the home and help keep up with future maintenance. Would absolutely recommend him again to other homebuyers!
Amanda W.
Ed was professional, thorough, and helpful. Not only was our report timely, detailed, and clear, he gave reasonable recommendations where needed, and always answered further questions in a kind, timely manner. I would definitely recommend his business!
Erika S.
I cannot recommend him more! Ed was professional, a delight, and informative. He walked me through the inspection and let me know what was going on. The inspection report came when he said and was not only easy to read, but extremely thorough! Thank you for making things so easy for me!
Abby F.
We're very happy with our inspection! Ed came highly recommended and as first-time homebuyers, we wanted to know we were in good hands. Ed was punctual, thorough, and moved through the home efficiently. He was kind enough to give us advice on some of our DIY ideas and was friendly throughout the process. I highly recommend Ed and NPI!

What's Included in an NPI Home Inspection?

Roof & Attic

NPI inspectors walk your roof to identify issues like warped shingles or worn flashings, and attics are checked for signs of water intrusion and wildlife.

Plumbing

All plumbing fixtures are evaluated for proper draining and signs of leaks. Your inspector also checks the hot/cold water supplies. 

Electrical

Your inspector will carefully evaluate the home’s electrical system, including the service entrance and panel. Outlets will also be tested.

HVAC

The full HVAC system will be evaluated, including the furnace, air conditioning unit, and ductwork as access allows.

Built-In Appliances

The functionality of built-in appliances such as ovens, fridges, and dishwashers will be documented in your report

Structure

All visible areas of your foundation, flooring, framing, and attic are thoroughly examined for safety, integrity, and quality of workmanship.

Walls & Ceilings

Your NPI inspector identifies the condition of the home’s walls and ceilings, looking for signs of water intrusion, cracks, or other potential issues.

Windows & Doors

Doors are checked for sticking, which could indicate a foundation issue. Windows are assessed to ensure they’re property sealed to outside elements.

Crawl Space

If applicable, crawl spaces are checked for signs of mold growth, wood rot, wildlife, and damaged structural components.

Exterior

The exterior inspection includes evaluation of the roof, gutters, windows, and siding.

Lots & Grounds

We assess the lot and grounds, including the driveway, sidewalks, and grading. Issues that could lead to water intrusion are identified.
