HOME INSPECTIONS IN MASSACHUSETTS

#1 RATED AND TRUSTED IN MASSACHUSETTS

We’re proud to be recognized for our outstanding service and client satisfaction across Massachusetts. Our clients trust us because we deliver professional, reliable inspections that consistently exceed expectations. From first-time buyers to experienced homeowners, people count on our expertise to make smart, informed decisions about their homes.

 

PARAMOUNT EXPERIENCE

Our team brings decades of combined experience to every inspection. We’ve inspected countless properties across Massachusetts, Rhode Island and New England - from single-family homes and townhouses to multi-family dwellings and commercial properties. We’ve seen it all, which means we know where to look and catch issues that many others might miss. You can trust that your home is in the hands of true professionals.

 

THOROUGH, DETAILED INSPECTIONS

A typical inspection takes about 3 hours, depending on the size and condition of the property. We carefully examine all accessible areas, including:

• Structure and foundation

• Roof (we walk the roof whenever it’s safe)

• Electrical systems

• Plumbing

• HVAC systems

• Interior and exterior components

• Garages and Detached Structures

• Lot Topography and Landscaping

• Common Areas and Shared Spaces (Condos/Townhouses with HOA's)

​​

​​​

We encourage you to walk through with us and ask questions - we believe understanding your home is just as important as the inspection itself.

​​​

​​

CLEAR REPORTS

We create inspection reports that are easy to understand, detailed, and visually clear. Using digital photos, diagrams, videos, and illustrations we document our findings so you can see exactly what’s happening in your home. Reports are accessible online and available for download as PDFs, making them convenient for future reference.

​

EDUCATIONAL

We believe an informed client is a confident client. That’s why we take the time to explain our findings, provide practical recommendations, and link to additional resources when needed. We want you to fully understand the condition of your home, the significance of any issues, and what steps you can take to protect your investment.

​

ROOF & EXTERIOR

We walk the roof whenever it’s safe and makes sense — if it’s too high, steep, or covered in snow, we’ll inspect it carefully from the ladder. We check:

• Roof covering: shingles, flashing, chimneys, vents. We find shingle damage and worn flashing all the time.

• Gutters & drainage: making sure water flows away from the house. Clogged or damaged gutters? Yeah, we see that a lot.

• Exterior walls & doors/windows: siding, trim, doors, windows, and any attached structures like decks or balconies.

​​

​​

We also keep an eye on the foundation walls for cracks or moisture — it’s amazing how many small issues people overlook until they become expensive repairs.

​​​

​​

BASEMENT, CRAWL SPACES & STRUCTURE

We look at the visible structure — floors, beams, posts, joists, and the basement floor. We check:

• Moisture or water intrusion — we catch damp basements all the time.

• Crawl spaces for ventilation, pests, or wood rot.

• Sump pumps and drainage systems to make sure water is moving where it should.

We do insulation spot checks here too, just to make sure everything is performing efficiently.

​

ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS

We look at the parts of your electrical system you actually can see and safely access:

• Main service panel and subpanels

• Breakers and fuses

• Outlets, switches, and safety devices like GFCIs and smoke/CO detectors

We notice wiring that’s outdated or overloaded surprisingly often, and catching it before closing can save a lot of trouble.

​

PLUMBING SYSTEMS

We inspect the plumbing that’s visible and accessible:

• Water supply lines and drain pipes

• Water heaters

• Fixtures like sinks, tubs, showers, and toilets

(No, we don’t inspect washers or dryers — the focus is on the core plumbing system.)

We find leaks under sinks or slow-draining pipes all the time, and catching these before you move in is huge.

 

HEATING, VENTILATION & AIR CONDITIONING (HVAC)

We check your heating and cooling systems to make sure they’re running safely and appear to be functioning.

• Furnaces, boilers, and air conditioning systems (weather permitting)

• Ventilation and airflow

​

​

We see furnaces or AC units needing maintenance all the time, and spotting it early can prevent bigger issues.

​​​

​​

INTERIOR COMPONENTS

Inside, we inspect:

• Walls, ceilings, and floors for cracks, wear, stains, or damage

• Doors and windows for proper operation

• Stairs and railings for safety

• Fireplaces and stoves

• Appliances safe to operate

​

 

We focus on functionality, safety, and signs of hidden problems rather than cosmetic flaws.

​​

​

HOW WE REPORT ON OUR FINDINGS

Our reports are technically informed, visually supported, and written in plain English.
Every finding includes:

• A clear explanation of the issue

• Why it matters — from a structural, functional, or safety perspective

• Photos for visual context

• Realistic next steps: whether it's repair, monitoring, or specialist follow-up

You won’t just get a list of defects — you’ll get the “why” and “how” behind each one, grounded in real building science.

​

WHY WALK THE PROPERTY WITH US?

We strongly encourage you to attend. Think of the inspection as a guided technical walk-through - a chance to see systems up close, ask detailed questions, and get direct explanations from someone who speaks your language.

We break down complex concepts like moisture dynamics, mechanical wear, or electrical load safely into terms that make sense - so you walk away informed, not overwhelmed.

​

OUR APPROACH, IN A NUTSHELL

• We walk roofs whenever safely possible - no guesswork from the ground

• We use drones, scopes, and advanced tools when access is limited

• We inspect all visible and accessible systems - no assumptions about what’s behind drywall or under slabs

• We often uncover patterns: moisture intrusion, insulation failures, aging electrical, foundational shifting - and explain each with context

• Our goal isn’t just to “check the box,” it’s to give you a technical understanding of the home you’re buying
