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

 

Dave had an impressive website that seemed to be too thorough to be anything but genuine. The thing that seemed to sell me was that he says right on his website that you may pay a little more for his service, but that his quality is higher. So I decided to give him a try even though I had no reference from another person hoping for someone of top quality. I was not disappointed. He was at the home early as promised and had done an inspection of the exterior and was writing up notes so that when I arrived, he walked me through the exterior first. Even with his early arrival, we were still there for about 3 hours looking through every little corner and cubby. He would occasionally stop and fill out his inspection forms which were easy to follow and read; he gives you a full folder of his notes that are well organized.

Dave was open to all questions and concerns so every time I saw something that was potentially concerning to me, he would look, give his opinion and often shared other experiences with similar circumstances. He also had a good sense of humor which helped to lighten what can be a stressful experience (having someone pointing out problem items that you didn't see). I would highly recommend Massachusetts Home Inspections.
