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.

Hi Dave,

I wanted to thank you for spending the time with us today. I couldn't have been more pleased with your inspection. I was a bit nervous picking someone to inspect the house as it almost seemed like drawing straws (since I had no references to go on), with the possibility that I could draw the short straw, however, I can honestly say that I definitely didn't draw the short straw this round. The level of detail that you put into the inspection really helped lift a huge weight off my shoulders and I am more than confident in your assessment of the house. I also appreciate all the advise and tips you shared with us during the walk though.

Thanks again for all your help!

Cheers,

Ryan
