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

 

Hello Dave,

You did a Pre-Sale inspection of our home in N. Reading on 11/2006 as Sellers. I must say you prepared us well; can't say as much for the Buyers inspector who missed all the areas where we were still vulnerable.

Anyway, we are putting in an offer on a house in Littleton and proposing a 6/18 inspection date. House was built in 1979, about 2300 sqft. Wanted to give you a heads up.

Brian R.
