Thank you for the professional and comprehensive home inspections you provided us during our home search. I was pleased to hear some of the positive feedback on Courtland Place that you had. Your inspection will help us to prioritize our projects as we move forward in the process. Kind regards, Bonnie Benetato
Peter did an excellent job with my home inspection. His professional background as a builder gives him a solid base of knowledge to approach the inspection process. On top of that, he is easy to communicate with and a really nice guy to boot. I rarely make any recommendation unless asked, but if asked I would definitely recommend him.
Peter, you have done such a wonderful job on BOTH inspections that we have requested from you and we could not be more pleased! We will continue not only to recommend you to our family and friends, but will keep you in mind for any projects in the future! Thanks again and God Bless!!

What Our Customers Are Saying
Don’t just take it from us, let our customers do the talking!
The inspection was completed on time and was detailed and comprehensive. My son who is a structural engineer was able to read the report and relay what he thought should be addressed before the due diligence period ends. I was impressed by the order of the report and ease of understanding. I would absolutely recommend Peter Young’s company!
Mr. Young’s inspection was through, detailed, accurate, and the results of the inspection were sent to us in a timely manner and in a digital, up-to-date format. What a great inspector all around! Highly recommended!
