Ben is a professional, extremely knowledgeable, friendly, and more than a little helpful. He made a very thorough examination of my house, and advised on how to make a simple fix for my problem. I am very pleased with the service he provided. The contract signing and billing were also the easiest I have ever come across. If you need an inspection done, you will not go wrong by hiring Ben.

We hired Ben at Pandacon to inspect a new home we are purchasing. The detail and depth of his knowledge regarding virtually every aspect of the home made us know we picked the right inspector. If you need your home inspected you can stop looking online right now and just call Pandacon. After our inspection I still had questions and Ben made himself available to me regardless of the time and was very patient, courteous and thorough in his explanations. The billing and contract process was also very simple, and the price was average compared to most others, but what I got in return was anything but average - it was superb! The best advice I can give anyone is not to try and scrimp and save on the "cheapest" inspector. They could miss something that will cost you dearly later. You want someone like Ben who is going to scrutinize the property and dig up all its dirty secrets. Pay Pandacon's fair rate and you get a much much more than fair inspection, you get an awesome one. I would 110% hire him again. I will make sure my family and friends use him. Thanks Ben!

Ben was fantastic. He's a bit more expensive than a typical home inspector (especially if you add all of the bells and whistles like the thermal imaging), but he is WORTH EVERY PENNY. I highly recommend you hire Ben, and I highly recommend you capitalize on the extra services he offers, especially if you are dealing with an older or more questionable home. Ben performed out home inspection. The detail was tremendous. Plus, he breaks all of his findings down, so that you know which ones are safety risks, which ones are likely to be easy/cheap fixes, which ones are likely to cost a fortune, which ones just require monitoring into the future. His report is lengthy, but he makes it digestible with his amazing coding and interpretation. Amazingly, he gets all of this done in >2 days as well! I can't say enough good about Ben Collins, and will be recommending him to anyone that I know buying a home in the area.

Super detailed and through. Ben was very communicative and provided a very detailed report. It was full of pictures and even showed me a few of the code violations that should be repaired. Completely recommed!!!

Absolutely worth every penny. Ben from Pandacon is professional, detailed and highly knowledgeable with documented credentials. He provided us with vital information to address urgent problems as well as areas that need attention before they become problems later. Get the thermal imaging especially if you have an older home.

Ben, from Pandacon, was extremely thorough and very knowledgeable about house inspections. He was professional and kept in touch to make sure that the inspection occurred in the timeframe we needed. He was helpful with a discussion of the results beyond the formal report and was just a pleasure to work with. Pandacon cost a little more than other options in the area, but, in my opinion, well worth the extra cost. I highly recommend Ben Collins and Pandacon, LLC.

I’m in the process of purchasing my thirteenth, yes thirteenth home in 28 years, three of which I sub-contracted myself. I have worked with several home inspectors, but PANDACON was by far the most experienced and professional that I’ve had the priviledge of working with. The professional that I worked with was well-versed on local building codes as well as common sense issues. The home inspected had been previously inspected by another company and given the green light. The home was far from a green light. Pandacon found at least twenty issues that the other company missed and, at least ten of them were what I deemed serious ones. Ultimately, I will NOT be purchasing this home. I would and will recommend PANDACON to anyone who asks in the future. Thanks PANDACON for saving me the headache of more repairs as a new (not first time) homeowner than I would ever want to tackle.

Ben was able to work with me to get the Radon Testing done in time for selling our home on very short notice. Nice guy and on time.
