Mike is a straight shooter and will tell you exactly how it is and what needs to be done now and in the future. He does not rush you and wants to have all of your questions answered prior to him leaving. After he has completed the inspection you will receive a very detailed inspection report including pictures of the issues. He even took the time to climb under the cottage to survey as much of the underside as possible. Good thing he is a skinny guy as that's the only way someone can get under the house. You Will Not Be Disappointed!!!!!!!

Their customer service was excellent and the appointment was easy to schedule. Lynn was able to come out within 2 days of my call. She was prompt, professional and thorough. She explained the process to me and performed her testing fairly quickly. I appreciated the rush results option as an anxious first-time home buyer! I received a very thorough report with recommendations within 24 hours of the test. I will absolutely call CLS again in the future (fingers crossed I won't need them!), and will recommend them to my family and friends. Thanks again, Lynn!

We wanted an air quality test done for our family home before moving into the home completely. We…read morecalled a few places and almost everyone was backed up about 3 to 4 weeks so imagine our excitement when this place said they could get us in the next week. RED FLAG. The day arrived and a gentleman came to our home to run the air test. "Call me tomorrow and you can pay for and get your results over the phone" Perfect . That is just what I did except I could not get through to the same man who performed the test. But I did get to speak to Susan S. I've met and talked with a lot of contractors, third parties and other sales people in my day but the conversation with this receptionist was a first. Over the course of less than 24 hours I called their office 4 times to try to pay for the testing and get the results and each time Susan was too busy and never gave my messages to the tester. Finally by Friday afternoon ( my last phone call) I asked if it was going to be possible to get the results from my air test that day since I was told the results would be available the next day but it was almost 5 pm. She said no, you are not going to get your results today because you have not paid for your results. To me, however, it felt like I was throwing my credit card information at her and she was too incompetent to know. I demanded to know why the tester was not given my messages and that I had questions that pertained to the test itself and would like to talk with him directly. I could barely get any words across because Susan talked over me the entire time, called me arrogant and then, hung up the phone. As if, not getting the results in a timely fashion was not enough, Susan resorted to name calling. Nothing short of immature unprofessional customer relations, and an unfriendly receptionist who turned this process into one big headache. Although, I have no complaints about the tester there are so many in the business and many companies who can make the process easy and stress- free from beginning to end.

I cannot thank MKC Associates--and specifically Tom Berthiaume--enough for the extraordinarily…read morethorough home inspection they conducted on a condo I intended to purchase. Their work quite literally saved me from making a huge mistake. The unit, located in a high‑end Boston property, turned out to be severely neglected and in need of major repairs. Without MKC's thoroughness, I might have ended up purchasing a property requiring immediate and expensive major electrical, plumbing, appliance, and fixture (windows and doors) repairs. Tom arrived early for the appointment, which took place over Labor Day weekend. That level of dedication matters, and I greatly appreciated being able to secure an expert inspection so quickly (literally a few days). The review lasted about 1.5 hours and covered not only the unit's interior but also the building's common areas, the roof, and the exterior envelope. I learned a lot--not just about the unit and its owner, but also about the HOA and the building's overall condition. The report was available the next day, both online as an interactive document and as a downloadable PDF. It was exceptionally detailed, well‑organized, and easy to navigate. MKC posts sample reports on their website, and I can confirm the real report you receive is just as comprehensive and descriptive as the examples. The photos show the actual appliances, fixtures, and features in the property, which makes reviewing deficiencies straightforward. MKC also provides helpful YouTube videos explaining how to access and interpret the report, including a powerful feature that allows buyers to communicate deficiencies and estimated repair or replacement costs directly to sellers. This tool is invaluable for anyone negotiating repairs or credits. The inspection cost--$860.25 in my case--was worth every penny. The unit I was considering would have required major expenditures to make it livable, and MKC's work prevented me from walking into a financial disaster. In summary, MKC is the real deal. Whether you're purchasing a condo or a single‑family home, I strongly encourage you to hire MKC for your inspection. You will not regret it.

The whole home inspection (About 2300 sqft) took 2 hrs (It's a young house). He completed the inspection around 5:30 pm and had the online report available for my realtor and myself the next morning.
