A repeat customer says they have used Peter for four home inspections, praising his practical approach to older buildings and explanations that do not exaggerate problems. Field Home Inspections is based in North Adams and says it has been in business for 20 years. Google reports 70 ratings averaging 4.9 stars, and the Better Business Bureau gives it an A+ grade. The May 2026 repeat customer describes Peter as thorough and says his explanations have helped with their home-buying decisions; three of the four inspected homes were purchased. Earlier customers also praised the reporting. In March 2024, a customer who had hired Peter twice described detailed reports and patient explanations. A July 2023 reviewer said he walked through each part of the house, explained what needed immediate attention and what was in good condition, and delivered the report within an hour of completing the in-person inspection. A June 2023 first-time buyer praised flexible scheduling, clear explanations, photographs, and a detailed report delivered the same day. A July 2026 customer raises a different experience. They praise easy scheduling and a well-done report, but say the inspector missed moss on the roof, which they link to an insurance cancellation notice. They also say the inspector identified a failed seal on a sliding window but did not highlight failed seals on four large trapezoidal windows, each costing $1,000 to replace. That complaint concerns missed inspection findings, despite the customer's praise for the scheduling and report.
It was easy to schedule the inspection of my home under purchase contract and his report was well done. However, he failed to notice the moss on the roof which resulted in a cancellation notice from my insurance company. He pointed out failed seal on a double pane sliding window, which was easy to correct. But he did not highlight that 4 large trapezoidal windows had failed seals, each costing $1000 to replace.
I’ve used Peter for four home inspections now, three of those 4 homes have been purchased, and I wouldn’t consider using another inspector. He is extremely thorough, but most importantly, he approaches inspections realistically — especially when it comes to older buildings. Peter knows exactly what to look for and takes the time to explain his findings in a way that’s easy to understand without exaggerating issues or resorting to fear-mongering. His knowledge, professionalism, and practical approach have made him an invaluable part of my home-buying process.
Peter was phenomenal! We've used his services twice and will make sure that we hire him again for any future purchases. His reporting is incredibly detailed, his knowledge and professionalism show during every step of the process, and he explains issues in detail with great patience. We can't recommend him highly enough!
Peter was such a helpful inspector with a wealth of information and know-how. He patiently and kindly answered all of my questions and I felt very reassured by the knowledgeable and straightforward information he provided. He took the time to carefully go through each part of the house and gave me clear direction on what I should fix right away and what parts were in great condition with no updates needed. He also provided a thorough report within an hour of completing the in-person job, which I appreciated. I believe that Peter would continue to be a resource to me if I needed recommendations on local service providers or additional advice on the house. He seems to be in the business for the love of the job and to help people, and his care shows loud and clear. I highly recommend Field Home Inspection!
Peter was amazing! We really loved working with him! Scheduling on the website was so convenient and useful. He worked with our schedule, adjusting the time to make it convenient for us. He was welcoming, encouraging, and kind. Peter was thorough and explained things clearly. He took photos and sent us a detailed report the same day. He put our minds at ease as first time home buyers. Highly recommend! Thank you Peter!
