Our Client Testimonials

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

Shana T.
Joe was an exceptional inspector to work with! He arrived early, came fully prepared, and conducted the inspection with the utmost professionalism. His level of detail made the process so much easier and gave us a clear understanding of what needed attention. I would highly recommend Joe!
Mo C.
Mr. Beaton was very professional and thorough! After the inspection, he gave us advice and approximate cost of repairs, and we received a detailed report the next morning. Mr. Beaton was very easy to talk to, very friendly, and a straight shooter. I would definitely refer him to anyone who wants no surprises when buying their house.
Oscar H.
Joe was amazing and beyond professional. He arrived at the location before me and took his time analyzing everything precisely. He spoke to me as a human and not as a customer or paycheck. I would recommend him to my family. Thank you, Joe!
Anna E.
As a real estate agent, I recently was introduced and had the pleasure of working with Joe Beaton from NPI. Joe showed great attention to detail during the inspection, but what truly set him apart was his genuine care for my clients' peace of mind. His level of personalized service was above and beyond my expectations. Thank you again, Joe!
Jessica J.
As a Realtor I have worked with several inspectors over the years. I decided to give Joe a try and not only was he extremely thorough for my clients, but he saved me THOUSANDS on my own personal purchase. His turn around time is amazing, and booking is simple and smooth. I'll definitely recommend him to any clients of mine and use him again personally.
Nikki M.
Joe is top notch and knows his stuff! As a real estate professional, it’s important to guide my clients in the right direction throughout the entire process. I always know Joe will do a very thorough job, is not an alarmist, and takes the time to explain his findings. My biggest complaint would be when I can’t book him quick enough because everyone else knows how good he is, too! 🙂
Steve M.
Joe from National Property Inspections was absolutely phenomenal! He had a great response time and provided us with an incredibly thorough and detailed report that allowed us to make an informed decision on the purchasing of our home. Highly recommend!
Alicia M.
Joe was absolutely fantastic as we used him twice during our home search. He is thorough, informed, and takes his time to really explain the process. He gives you an overview on site and then a report afterwards which also covers everything in depth. A really great guy/company. Would definitely recommend!
Elizabeth T.
I had the pleasure of working with Joe Beaton who truly went above and beyond my expectations. His thoroughness and extensive knowledge were evident in every aspect of the inspection, but what impressed me the most, was his friendly and approachable nature. Overall, I can confidently say that Joe Beaton is not only great at his job but also a fantastic person to work with. Thank you, Joe!
Kate D.
Joe is thorough, detail-oriented and professional. I worked with him for many years, as a Realtor, and my clients were 100% satisfied with his expertise and the overall experience over & over again. He explains things so well to buyers and his report is very helpful, when reviewing the details of the inspection. Contact Joe for your home inspection today and you’ll be so glad you did!
