Testimonials

Very enjoyable inspection with Paul! He is super knowledgeable and willing to answer the million questions that I asked. Thanks :)
- C.M., October 2024
I would recommend Paul to any new or seasoned home buyer looking for an inspection. I scheduled the inspection online and Paul reached out promptly with the next steps via email. On the day of the inspection, Paul took the time to explain what he was looking for and the importance of the equipment he was inspecting. Also, he answered all of my random questions and threw in his two cents where appropriate. The inspection report was easy to follow and included detailed descriptions of any issues and/or suggestions. I am very pleased with my experience and Paul was well worth the investment.
- N.B., October 2024
My wife and I were extremely pleased with the thorough inspection Paul conducted of our soon-to-be home. The house in question is a ~100-year-old historic, brick structure with lots of fun idiosyncrasies. Paul left no stone unturned as he explored everything from the attic to the grinder pump buried in the backyard. We left the inspection with a thorough understanding of what maintenance items need to be dealt with and peace of mind that our home to be was structurally sound. If I ever purchase another home, I will be calling Paul to inspect it. He's the best.
- R.S., August 2024
Super knowledgeable, friendly, and easy to schedule with. The report was incredibly thorough and received promptly. 100% would work with Paul again!

Paul did a fantastic job of being thorough and thoughtful in his inspection based on the time of year (winter).

I would highly recommend Paul to anyone looking for a general home inspector that goes above and beyond for his clients.
- H.P., January 2024

Paul was recommended by our Realtor, Ben Myers, and I appreciate his thoroughness in the report. My spouse and I are looking for a home remotely (from the west coast). It was great to see his professionalism and attention to detail with our proxy attendees at the home to discuss his findings. He has certainly made our home search much easier!
- G.T., November 2021
As first time home-owner it was important for us to get a little bit of a rundown of things along with a thorough inspection of the property.

Paul identified any defects and gave us peace of mind on any items we may consider "red flags."

- J.F., October 2021
As a first time homebuyer, Paul made sure to include us in the parts of the inspection that he felt would be helpful for us to know/learn about and walked us through his findings at various points throughout the inspection. Explanations were all very clear to follow. Paul was very thorough and efficient with his time. Final inspection report was timely and easy to follow. Summary of findings included at the end was very helpful.
- K.B., October 2021
Paul was exceptionally helpful and easy to communicate with before and during our home inspection. As first time home buyer's, we appreciated Paul's patience when answering all of our questions and willingness to explain everything he saw in detail. He also made sure to show us every important system in the house, how it worked, and what we should keep an eye out for. First-time homeownership can be daunting, but we're excited and confident in our purchase thanks to Paul's help. We'd recommend him to anyone, especially new homeowners!
- M.M., August 2021
Paul was friendly, thorough, and knowledgeable. He took time to answer all my questions and talk through the items of concern. Highly recommended!
- L.A., July 2021
The inspection report was very thorough. It included issues observed, contained pictures, and advice on how to address each issue. Issues that were the product of usual wear and tear over time were labeled as such. It also included a lot of information on home care. Unfortunately we could not come to the inspection; I bet it would have been extremely helpful if we had been able to attend. We highly recommend Paul Hughet; his report on our newly purchased home makes us much more confident about the house and will help us find and fix those issues that need immediate attention. Great job!!

- L.W., January 2021
Paul was excellent to work with! Extremely thorough. Very satisfied!
- J.B., September 2020
I thoroughly enjoy working with Paul. Not only does he do a fantastic job on all inspections he is also fun to work with. When there are problems, we discuss them - he does take them seriously. But also has a knack for not making the inspection "scary" - he teaches you about the home but also helps with what is normal wear and tear and what needs to be addressed. And throws in a few laughs along the way. Highly recommend him! Kellie - Realtor

Overall the process was great, and I feel like I know the home I am moving into much better than I did prior to the inspection.
- B.R., July 2018
First, Paul was early for our appointment, which is nice. He was inviting and more than willing to have me follow along with his inspection. He stopped to show me what he was looking at along the way. Proactively explained pros and cons of different systems and was more than willing to answer and discuss any questions I had. He respected the property (ex. using different shoes inside and out) and brought all of his own equipment. His inspection seemed very thorough and his demeanor was very professional. He delivered his inspection report the same day. I would recommend Paul's services to others.
- W.K., July 2018

I?m super confident in my plans going forward thanks to the inspection result! I would definitely refer him to a friend.

Paul was recommended to us by our real estate agent, and we were very happy with his services. The inspection was thorough, and he took the time to go through every little detail with us.

He was a pleasure to work with!
- E.B., July 2017
I currently live out of state and Paul was recommended by my realtor. My dad is a retired civil engineer for one of the cities where I live and has seen many of these reports. Both my dad and I were quite impressed with the thoroughness of Paul's report and the speed with which he provided it to me. Should I buy or build another house within Paul's region of business I will definitely use his expertise, again. I also plan on recommending Paul to anyone I know buying or building a home!

I have previously had home inspections, but none were as thorough as the one done by Paul. He answered my questions and never made me feel awkward or silly for asking questions.

- L.B., February 2015
I called a lot of possible inspectors and Paul mentioned many of the things I was looking for in the first call. The longer we spoke I could sense he had the right balance between good attention to detail regarding serious issues and not being overly concerned about what are simply cosmetic or simple issues.
