Home Inspection Reviews

Bennett Home Inspections has performed three separate home inspections for us spanning over at least 6 years. Each inspection has been so thorough and in-depth that Geoff always amazes me at the areas he looks at and items he catches. As years have passed Geoff surprises me each time with his advanced technology that show more detail/different views/x-ray vision to areas otherwise not accessible, visible, etc. I greatly appreciate the time that Geoff takes to review his findings in person and how in-depth his written reports are. His detailed report lists items ranging from safety hazards to minute items that might need attention. Six years later I have referenced his inspection report to remind me of what is in my crawlspace. Both Ann and Geoff are always very personable, professional, respectful, and courteous. They pay attention to the little things like wearing shoe coverings or coveralls to not only protect himself but make sure dirt, sap, tar, fiberglass, etc. are not brought into a potential new home. I really can’t speak much higher of them. Thank you Ann and Geoff.

I was buying a house which had failed a previous inspection. The seller’s stated that they had fixed a lot of the major problems identified by the first inspection including standing water in the crawl space. I was buying the house as-is so getting a good inspection was very important to me. Geoff has over 20 years experience in his field. Geoff and his partner TJ were able to verify that the repairs had been done and they also discovered that the problem in the crawl space had only been partially remediated (there was still standing water present). With their inspection report, I was able to negotiate a satisfactory deal with the sellers and felt a lot more confident in my home purchase. Geoff and TJ were professional, on-time, and very clear in their communications. I highly recommend Bennett Home Inspections.

Geoff is everything you could hope for in a home inspector. He is polite, highly knowledgeable, and extremely thorough. He absolutely went above and beyond during his inspection of our newly-built home.

On our first appointment, we all showed up to find that the house was not finished yet and therefore not ready to be inspected. Immediately, Geoff suggested that we re-schedule the inspection for a later date but still took the time to do a preliminary look around and point out quite a few things for us.

When we met up for the second appointment, Geoff methodically inspected every inch of the house, pointing out problems and potential trouble spots along the way. Every time he found something, he would also have an explanation for what was happening as well as how we could expect the builder to fix it. He also took the time to listen to our concerns and provided explanations/advice/suggestions for every single one of them.

Geoff brought a sense of calm and control to an otherwise hectic and stressful home-buying experience. I can’t imagine a better home inspector!

My experience with Bennett Home Inspections was fantastic from beginning to end. Ann was extremely kind and accommodating when scheduling the inspection, and gave me all the information I needed to feel comfortable with the process ahead of time. Geoff was incredibly professional, knowledgeable, and kind. He took his time to thoroughly inspect the home I’m purchasing, showed me specific things he was noting in his report, and answered all my questions. He even spent additional time with me beyond the inspection to share his insight and expertise. The home inspection report Geoff provided was extremely detailed and helpful. I was beyond pleased with my experience with Bennett Home Inspections, and cannot recommend them enough.

Geoff is pleasant, professional and thorough. I initially contacted him for service because of the stellar reviews from his previous customers and he lived up to the hype. It is no exaggeration when I say that he inspected every inch of the property and the inspection report is detailed yet easy to digest. I’ll definitely do business with Geoff again.

I recently had an inspection done by Geoff and it was an absolute pleasure. Geoff was incredibly knowledgeable and thorough during the inspection and welcomed all questions and concerns I had. I was very pleased by his professionalism and friendly attitude. I will most definitely be recommending him to anyone I know in the Vancouver area.

Geoff was excellent to work with, thorough, and detailed. We had an inspection done of a 4400sqft home that is two-story with walkout basement. He spent time on each area of the home from the roof to the crawl space and around the outside and the inside. Construction details, appliance functioning, water intrusion were important issues that needed extra attention on this home. We appreciated the infrared camera to help see where water might be penetrating the walls and foundation. He has an eye for the details and was knowledgeable during discussions. He was friendly and professional. We would highly recommend using him whenever you need a home inspection. We really can’t say enough good things about him and our experience with this company.

Geoff Bennett is an extremely thorough and knowledgeable home inspector. I have recommended him to many of by home buying clients and we are always very satisfied with the quality of Geoff’s inspections and his reports. His attention to detail is second to none. He always takes the time necessary to completely explain his findings with plenty of photos and supportive information. His knowledge of home construction, home repair and home maintenance is impressive. I always come away from his home inspections with a new piece of valuable information. It’s a pleasure to work with and recommend Geoff Bennett.

I am incredibly impressed with Geoff.. My realtor gave us a list of inspectors, he wasn’t on it.. I chose him because of reviews here.. and let me tell you he’s at the top of her list now! He is not only incredibly kind and courteous he’s quick and efficient, and the price is right. After the inspection he took the time to explain in detail the findings in a way I could understand. He gave us an extremely organized and comprehensive 70+ page report full of detailed explanations and pictures. I am sooo impressed. He saved us from buying a house that looked good until he discovered it needed probably 50k in repairs. I will absolutely without hesitation hire him for the house we end up buying and will recommend him to anyone. Thank you Geoff for saving us from making the worst financial decision.. buying that house!

I wish I could give Geoff more than 5 stars. If you are in need of a home inspection you simply MUST MUST MUST use Bennett Home Inspections. Even if it means extending your deadline for inspection. Geoff is SUPERIOR to any other home inspector we have ever used. We had already used another inspector based on the recommendation of our realtor but our gut told us we needed another one. We found Geoff on Yelp in Jan ’15 and chose him based on the reviews. Yelp did not let us down! His inspection uncovered some serious issues that the other inspector either didn’t find or knew not to call out so the sale went more smoothly. Remember: realtors don’t want issues to be called out. It doesn’t matter which side of the transaction you are on. They want things to move along quickly.

We were so impressed with Geoff that we just used him again on the purchase of my parent’s home. He is so popular that we had to extend the deadline to get our inspection done but let me tell you… HE IS WORTH THE WAIT. You don’t want anyone else to perform your home inspection. Don’t use the person your realtor recommends. Use Geoff Bennett. You are about to make the largest financial decision of your life and you want to know the truth about what you are buying. Geoff will tell you every single detail of your property and allow you to make an informed decision. I could go on forever. Use Bennett Home Inspections. Just do.

We had a great experience with Bennett Home Inspections

Geoff was friendly, professional, and very knowledgeable.
During the inspection, Geoff pointed things out and thoroughly explained what he saw and ways to fix/maintain certain items. This level of detail was present throughout the in-person visit, as well as the detailed email report.

I was impressed by Geoff’s expertise and professionalism and would not hesitate to recommend using Bennett Home Inspections to friends and family. I look forward to working with them on future home purchases.

Geof was amazing to work with. Very knowledgeable, and very thorough. We had a tiight nspection window, and Geof came through. The inspection was long, but covered absolutely everything. He walked us through his findings at the end, and went through all of the pictures in person. The next morning, by 800am. We had a very detailed, and very professional report. The peace of mind the report provided is invaluable. The value of Geof’s services were very fair. I would Highly recommend him to anyone looking to buy a home. I think if you are a first time buyer, this is the company you want to use, because of the expertise and ability to explain what the observations and findings are, and how it relates to overall usability of the house.
