DPW Home Inspections, Inc.

Forty-nine Google reviews stretching back to 2021, and not one of them lands below five stars. For a home inspector — a job people hire once, under deadline, and then judge harshly — that is the first thing worth knowing about DPW Home Inspections. The reviews all circle the same word: thorough. Peter, the inspector buyers deal with directly, is described walking people through each finding on site rather than handing over a document and leaving. A homeowner writing in 2024 said he leaves no stone unturned and explains how likely each item is to become a problem and what it would take to fix it. Another, in a 2023 review, credited the software behind his report for making it easy to turn findings into a repair request list for the seller. Speed of the write-up comes up almost as often as the inspection itself. A buyer in August 2026 got the report back the same day, with root causes, practical fixes and cost-saving options laid out; a 2025 customer said the same-day turnaround kept their closing on schedule. People also keep coming back — several reviewers are on their second or third inspection with him, including one who looked him up again three years after the first house, and a 2021 reviewer describing a repeat booking. The work described isn't only single-family houses. Reviewers writing in 2024 mention a large multifamily and a separate condo inspection; another that year, buying remotely, valued the photos and annotations in the report because they couldn't be there. Older homes come up repeatedly too, and a 2023 buyer described a pre-inspection squeezed into a crowded open house during a market where waiving inspection was the norm. Price, when it's mentioned at all, is described as reasonable — a 2025 buyer called it extremely reasonable, a 2024 condo buyer called it fair value. One practical thing to plan around: this is one inspector, not a roster. A buyer writing in May 2025 got their slot only because of a last-minute cancellation, so availability is the constraint worth sorting out first — especially on a tight offer deadline. If you're a first-time buyer who wants to come out of the inspection understanding the house rather than just holding a PDF, that's the specific thing this record keeps describing. Book early, confirm the turnaround you'll get on the written report, and ask up front what the inspection covers for the property type you're buying.
