Matt R

Absolutely recommended getting your home inspected by Derek with Premier Home Inspections. His inspection was extremely thorough, and his explanation of findings was top-notch. I now have a detailed list of necessary repairs, along with weekend projects.

Heather McKowen

Knowledgeable, professional, honest, and affordable! So thankful we hired Derek to complete our home inspection. All our questions were answered as he explained the process and findings during the inspection. He provided great customer service and did not try to upsell us to buy services we didn't need, unlike the competition.

Kimber Shafer

Derek from PHI was extraordinarily thorough with our inspection, and took time to answer all the questions we had. Not only that, but he was exceptionally quick with getting our inspection report back later the same night of the inspection. I would heavily recommend anyone purchasing a home to book with Derek, you won’t regret it!

Jacob Johnson

Derek with Premier Home Inspections saved me from buying a money pit with a failing foundation. He also inspected another home for me that is listed as a "new quality built home" in the listing and is anything but. At least now, I can go back to the negotiating table, knowing what I am looking at buying, and hopefully get things fixed before closing. I highly recommend PHI for all your home inspection needs and will use him again in the future if the need arises.

Vi Cloud

I chose premier and was not disappointed He spent time checking everything and took pictures of problems and they were included in his report. He answered and explained all my questions at the end of inspection. He worked continuously “he came to do work”. We were so pleased we chose Derek. We would differently recommend Derek

Abbey Leathermon

Very knowledgeable and honest

Madison Auch

Derrick is amazing! He saved us from a disastrous money pit. He's extremely knowledgeable on all things and even found something someone else had missed while doing a termite inspection. 10/10 recommend!!!!!

Tracie Skaggs

We chose to use Derek at PHI for our inspection after seeing a previous inspection report from this company. We were expecting the same quality and attention to detail for our inspection and we were not disappointed. Thank you, Derek, for a very thorough evaluation from roof to crawl space!

Alex B

I am a first-time homebuyer and my realtor recommended Derek for my home inspection. Because I had not gone through this process before, it was very important to me to have someone with a lot of experience who would be thorough in their inspection. Derek did an excellent job! He patiently answered my questions, explained his reasoning for flagging certain items, and even pointed out things that couldn’t be listed in his report, but were not done according to best practices (e.g., staggering of floorboards in the kitchen). I would highly recommend Derek for anyone seeking a home inspection!

Belinda Overstreet

Derek is very knowledgeable in this field. We used him to inspect some issues another inspector said we had. In which the other inspector didn't actually check thoroughly! He checks everything & explained any questions we had! We will definitely be using him in the future!
