Home Inspection FAQs

A home inspection is an evaluation of visible and accessible areas of a property. The goal is to provide useful information about observed conditions, including positive findings and concerns that may deserve attention.

Depending on the property and inspection, we may evaluate accessible areas of the roof and exterior, foundation and structural components, interior, attic, plumbing and electrical systems, HVAC equipment, windows, doors, and areas where visible moisture concerns may be present.

If something requires expertise beyond the scope of the inspection, evaluation by an appropriate qualified professional may be recommended.

We bring 22 years of home inspection experience and more than 21 years of union carpentry experience to the properties we inspect.

We serve Worcester, Norfolk, Suffolk, Middlesex, Bristol, Plymouth, and Essex counties in Massachusetts.
