Most of us look for homes and hope we find the one we love. Not having an understanding of the intricate workings of a healthy home, we hired Prime Home Inspections. This is where Dave and his support team came into play. His concise and detailed inspection provided us with a sense of security in our choice, helped us immensely as buyers and provided an honest negotiating tool that was without question. We can now budget our own improvements and maintainece schedule with confidence.

- J.M., January 2019

I was very pleased. He spent nearly 4 hours doing a very thorough report. When he was unable to view something, he said so. The purpose of the inspection is to inform the buyer of key issues and allow discussion with the seller on their resolution. Mission accomplished. Well done
- T.T., January 2019

Dave and Carol Peterson operate their business with the utmost professionalism and go out of their way to provide exceptional service.

- K.S., Sisters OR, January 2018

Dave was polite and courteous. It was a long inspection, therefore it was a thorough inspection and I couldn't be more pleased with the results. I have been through many other home inspections and have seen inspectors miss items that Dave quickly picked up on. The use of his Thermal Camera was paramount in discovering some of the issues that would not have been caught otherwise. Thanks for all the professional and highly qualified inspection!
- D.A., November 2017

As out-of-state buyers, we needed a thorough and professional home inspection. Our agent recommended Dave Peterson of Prime Home Inspection, and our experience was excellent! Inspection: thorough and professionally done. Report: issued promptly, clear and complete. Bonus: detailed photos and video clips in the report, which helped us identify the important issues to take up with the seller, and push aside the relatively minor items.Prime seems to employ the latest technology, which we appreciate. For example, Prime has a tool that enables one to quickly generate a repair punch list directly from the inspection report. This saved time for all concerned, kept a clear trail back to the inspection report, and kept confusion to a minimum. Our repair list went right into the repair addendum, and was helpful in explaining to the seller why we needed correction of the selected items. It also was useful in following through on the re-inspection of the involved contractors' repairs. In our experience, Prime Home Inspection has exemplary customer service. All of our questions were answered promptly. Every email and phone call was returned. Everything was done on time. We couldn't ask for more. 10 out of 10 stars for Prime Home Inspection.
- S.S., October 2017

Outstanding job as always. Thanks Dave.
- L.B., Bend OR, October 2017

- D.M., October 2017

- A.S., October 2017

We thought we had the best inspector in Seattle until we met Dave; we feel with his top notch expertise and above average thoroughness, he rates the best in Oregon. Dave knows about all systems and components of a home and has the ability to identify potential problems. We were also impressed on how he took the time to explain his findings to us and provide a quick turnaround of a professionally quality document of his findings. We will certainly recommend Dave to anyone who needs an expert in home inspection.
- C.M., September 2017

Very detailed, thorough. Pictures included as part of the report are extremely helpful. Thank you!

Dave is wonderfully thorough in his inspections and reports. He is very professional and takes the time to explain everything so that clients fully understand. I enthusiastically recommend Dave and Prime Home Inspection!
- L.C., September 2017

Although I was not present for the home inspection (still on the East Coast), the report that Mr. Peterson prepared seemed quite thorough and I felt as though he had my best interests in mind when he inspected my new home; from noticing that the hot/cold faucets were switched to the water psi being higher than recommended, as well as some smaller, minor issues. Thank you for your diligence!
- L.R., September 2017

We really appreciated how thorough you were while inspecting our house, as well as taking the time to explain it to us and answer all of our questions. Thank you!

Thank you Dave for your thorough inspection of my new home. Your attention to detail and your professionalism is greatly appreciated. And Carol thank you for assisting me with the scheduling and alerting Dave to my concerns prior to inspection. Thank you!
- A.R., August 2017

Dave did a great job on short notice. It was everything we needed and when we needed it with no issues at all. We really appreciate his attention to detail and his prompt report.
- J.K., July 2017

Very pleased with the thoroughness and time taken during the inspection. The report is detailed and will be very helpful. I'm puzzled about Dave reporting a small gas leak, yet Cascade Natural Gas found no leak.
- C.E., July 2017

An excellent and well detailed report that is easy to understand. The supporting pictures are very helpful to understand exactly what you are seeing and referring to. The only thing I would have liked to have seen or heard about is when you saw something you questioned, like the HVAC lack of service tag, or the partial nail in the sky light, is if you asked the homeowner what they thought about it to get a possible explanation. But, I also understand that may not be possible depending on the homeowners knowledge or willingness to participate. But overall, I am very happy with the level of detail and comprehensiveness that went into this inspection and report. The summary page will become my punch list to repair the smaller items noted. Thank-you very much for all your efforts ensuring this house will function properly and become our home.
- J.B., May 2017

Prime Home Inspection does an amazing job. I had my inspection done on a Tuesday and I received my report in my inbox Wednesday evening. They did a thorough report including pictures and videos of the home. The pictures were detailed and easy to see items that needed to be addressed. Also I was able to put together a repair request list right there in the e-mail. I was able to either accept as is or request a repair on specific items. This made it easy, because when I clicked request repair I was able to put my own notes and it brought up all the pictures pertaining to what I was requesting to be either repaired or replaced. This saved me a lot of time in making a list of repairs. I would highly recommend Prime Home Inspection if you are looking for a thorough report to make good decisions in buying your new home.
- T.H., May 2017

Dave was informative, clear, and efficient as he worked through my inspection. The report he provided was clear and useful. Scheduling was also easy, and Prime Home Inspectors were responsive and accessible during the entire process.I would and will recommend Dave and Prime Home Inspection without hesitation.
- T.S., Bend OR, April 2017

A pleasure doing business with you on both my properties. And I will continue to use you & your company in the future. Very rare to find a company as reliable, professional, thorough, knowledgeable & personable. Thank you!
- J.Y., April 2017

Very, very thorough. Appreciated the time he took to talk with us about the report via phone since we were out of state and not able to be there at the time of the inspection.
- E.R., April 2017

No suggestion - Dave was very competent in all aspects of inspection.
- R.T., April 2017

Dave and Carol are a great team! Carol's great listening skills and customer service compliment Dave's. Both are very professional and thoughtful. Dave never seemed like he was "too busy" to answer a question or thoroughly review and explain his findings. They were very flexible in accommodating my specific need; I used them for a 12 year house "check-up" and so glad I did.
- E.V., March 2017

Dave is thorough in his reporting and considerate to both buyers AND sellers. He's a wonderful & knowledgeable inspector that I would use every time!

Dave and his apprentice were both very nice and informative. Their inspection was extremely thorough with the apprentice inspecting everything after Dave did.

- D.V., October 2016

I can't imagine having a more thorough inspection. I feel you went above and beyond what was required. I think I only noticed one of the many things you found that needed repair. I feel very confident that you found absolutely everything that needed to be fixed before I buy this home, and I'd like to thank you for your effort.
- B.L., October 2016

Wow! That was way beyond my expectations. Thank you

- F.A., September 2016

My wife and I are purchasing a house in Bend, and our real estate agent recommended Dave and his company for the inspection. We have purchased and sold several homes, and the Report generated by Dave is by far the most thorough and easy to read/understand that we have seen. The manner in which the Report was broken down, including photos and videos, made it easy to navigate through the Report and digest all the details. Not only was the level of detail impressive, but we found the Summary section at the end to be very helpful.First Rate!Joe and Trudy Cook
- , September 2016

Dave was absolutely wonderful! So thorough and professional! The report he generated is very useful, with detailed information on each section he evaluated.

Dave's inspection report is clearly the best report I ever saw.Report is very detailed, very well organized, with a lot of pictures, and even infrared pictures and videos.In his report, Dave is listing all serial numbers of appliances, indicating the location of all electrical boxes, water valves.
