I needed a whole house inspection for a house I was considering buying, and Jamie Kolker, Benchmark Home Inspections, was highly recommended. And at a very reasonable cost! Jamie showed up on time and took the time to discuss the areas he would inspect. I had some top concerns, which we discussed prior to the inspection. Jamie was very thorough and detailed during the inspection and kept me in the loop during the process, while also taking the time to answer my questions. He was so knowledgeable about every aspect of the house. I received the full inspection report later that day... 52 pages with details, findings, summaries, quality photos, and important recommendations for all issues. The house was no longer a mystery, and I was able to make an informed decision on this investment. If you want an exceptional inspector who is thorough and detailed oriented, call Jamie at Benchmark. You will not be disappointed. I will definitely use him in the future and recommend that you do too.

Hello Wais,
There are no records of any home inspections or services being provided by our company for any customer by this name. Perhaps this review was intended for a different company.

We recently moved in and unfortunately had a very disappointing experience with the inspection. The report stated that everything was functioning properly, yet the heater was not working and several other issues were completely overlooked. Based on our experience, I would not recommend this inspection service.

Unfortunately, we do not have any record of performing a home inspection for any client named "Legion". If one was performed for you by us, our inspection agreement states that you can reach out to us immediately after discovery of any issues or concerns you may have to allow re-inspection and correction or updating of the report. No one has contacted us regarding any issues or concerns with any recent inspections.
Here at Benchmark Home Inspections, we take home inspections very seriously and take great pride in the work and reports we provide, with 198 5 star reviews from our amazing customers. We provide diligent support prior, during and after the inspection is performed. If you were a legitimate customer of ours, please reach out to us directly. We would be pleased to address any issues or concerns you may have in regards to your home inspection.
Thank you,
Benchmark Home Inspections

We called Jamie to inspect our home after noticing a strange odor following heavy rain. He conducted a targeted inspection for moisture intrusion and was consistently communicative, prompt, professional, and thorough. The entire process—from scheduling to the final report—was seamless. He went above and beyond to explain his findings and our options. Jamie will be our go-to for future home inspections!
