Work, travel, or family obligations could find you away from home for an extended stretch. Or maybe you choose to split your time between two or more properties based on weather and seasonal hobbies. Whether you’ll be away for days, weeks, or months, National Property Inspections can help keep your home safe and in excellent condition.

NPI’s trained and licensed inspectors serve as your eyes and ears while you’re away, ensuring your property remains safe, secure and in great condition. We work with you to schedule and customize a checklist based on your specific needs and provide a weekly digital report, complete with photos. As part of our Home Watch program, we’ll automatically:

  1. Make sure all doors and windows are secure, checking for signs of forced entry
  2. Test outdoor motion sensors and lighting
  3. Check for weather damage
  4. Bring in any mail, newspapers, and packages
  5. Verify that any contracted services are being completed (pest control, lawn care, and more)


In addition, you can also choose from the following services or request custom services unique to your property: 

  • Flush Toilets

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!
