“Closer Look Inspections, Peter Straube”
I'm very glad I contacted Peter for my home inspection. The whole process went very smoothly thanks to Peter's flexibility, thoroughness, professionalism, and knowledge. Peter was very easy to communicate with, and went out of his way to address any specific concerns I had ahead of time, as well as answering any questions I had after the inspection results. I would not hesitate to recommend Peter to anyone in need of a home inspection.
Working with Closer Look Home Inspection was a new and exciting experience. Peter and I toured the property relieving concerns I may have about the purchase in a helpful and insightful way. Had worked very well with Laura at Polli Properties and we managed to complete the inspection in a timely and well thought out manner. Thank you all! ~Sean
I worked with Peter on the inspection for a recent real estate transaction. The report was incredibly thorough and has helped significantly in the buying process. He is professional and his work is excellent. I highly recommend working with him.
Peter was terrific in helping me with an inspection in connection with a home purchase. He was responsive, efficient and thorough in his report, and went out of his way to summarize his findings in a way that was easy to understand and helpful for evaluating the property. I would definitely recommend Closer Look Home Inspections to anyone looking to buy a home in northern Vermont!
Peter at Closer Look Home Inspections was great to work with! He let us know what to expect prior to inspection, and took his time to answer any questions we had along the way before, during, and after. Communication was great and he was very helpful in recommendations for next steps. Thanks Peter!
