Know Your Home

I've created the "KNOW YOUR HOME" section of my website to help Massachusetts homeowners stay informed about their properties. My goal is to provide my home inspection clients with valuable insights into potential concerns that may arise during homeownership. This comprehensive collection of articles is also included in my Know Your Home manual, which comes with every electronic home inspection report. If you don't find the information you're looking for, feel free to Contact Me—I’ll gladly research your concern and update this page accordingly.

Here is what my clients have to say about my home inspection services:

Press F5 (on your keyboard) for additional testimonials

 

As a first time home buyer, a home inspection was very intimidating. Dave Valley made me feel at ease as soon as I met him. He was very professional, thorough, and explained things to me as we went along. Overall, what I expected to be a stressful experience was very easy because of Dave.
