I needed a home inspection in a pinch (1 week turnaround) and in a new area that I haven't lived…read morebefore. Doing a web search, Metro was one of many home inspection companies that had a straight-forward website and online booking. However, what set Metro apart from the others is that they listed the available days and time slots that they had inspectors available. They even had the name of the most probable (subject to change) inspector to make the appointment. That was important because I knew when the home we were considering was available to be opened, and I could quickly line up a day/time that worked out for both sides. After the appointment was set, I was called by one of the staff. She called to "talk me out of" the radon and pest inspection services (extra charge) because of the type of home and area it was located, those services were not valuable. The cherry on top was that for the month, they were giving a "gold" discount on the overall cost. Inspection went as planned and I received the final report by the end of the same day. I never had to state that I needed a quick turnaround, but I get the sense they knew based on the dates of our real estate transaction. Just superb service, and really made me feel I could not get as good of a service with any of the other inspection companies I was considering. If we ever buy another property in the metro Boston area, I'm using Metro 100%!

The inspection was very thorough, and Tod took his time to ensure he didn't miss anything that could cause issues down the road.

I highly recommend Tod and his company for your inspection needs and will be using their services again in the future.

The inspection was thorough, and Liz walked us through every single part of our house in a gentle manner. There was nothing scary or overwhelming - she made observations and offered some suggestions on what we might want to do, or what we don't absolutely need to do before moving in. It's clear Liz's goal is to complete the inspection, while also helping us to understand how to live in the house. I'd recommend her to anyone!

This included identifying each household system with its individual components, evaluating their installation, and giving recommendations for their proper operation and maintenance. Liz even gave her recommendations on replacing supplies and the proper timing of periodic repairs. All of this was in addition to finding items in need of attention and repair. Liz generated a substantial report, which formed the bulk of the punch list for the seller and contractors. Once again, Liz found the problematic items, made sure I understood the maintenance of household systems and equipment - from warranty, supplies, and periodic repairs, to maintenance and common problems. I'm very satisfied with my inspection, and am impressed with Liz as a professional. I know that I can contact her in the future if a question arises concerning her report or my unit's systems.

We…read moreinitially had recommendations from our real estate agent but decided to use Yelp to explore other options. Ray's price came out to be very competitive, in addition to being immediately responsive to my Yelp message inquiries. His website is also nicely designed, I'd say better than many other home inspection websites. I didn't see a sample report on his website but messaged him and Ray emailed a sample copy right away. While there was no recommended Yelp review when we chose him, I did see some other Google reviews for his company and verified his license on the Massachusetts website (https://elicensing.mass.gov/CitizenAccess/GeneralProperty/PropertyLookUp.aspx?isLicensee=Y).   On the inspection day, Ray arrived a few minutes earlier than the agreed time. He was very thorough and knowledgeable. You can tell he is passionate about what he does. He sent his report the same day and it was easy to read and understand. You do have to sign an agreement before the service, but mine went to my junk folder and I didn't see it until after the inspection. Here are some important details that may be relevant to others: COVID 19 Procedures in place: Inspector will wear mask and gloves, as well as practice social distancing. Anyone attending the inspection is required to wear a mask. We ask that you limit attendees, or take turns inside the home to be able to appropriately distance from others. The agreement is available for electronic signature. REPORT DELIVERY: Emailed within 24 hours to you and your agent (with your permission), with high quality photos included. UTILITIES: Please make sure the utilities (water, gas, electric) are on so the inspection does not have to be rescheduled. ATTIC ACCESS: The inspector needs clear access to the attic on your behalf. The inspector cannot move belonging's to gain access. CANCELLATION POLICY: There will be a $250 cancellation fee for any cancellation with less than 24 hour notice. You must call the office at 978-443-8598 to cancel. You will receive a text confirmation that the inspection has been cancelled. If you do not receive that, please call to confirm. Thank you for your cooperation. For other cancellations, any fees that were paid by credit card will be refunded less a 5% processing fee. Thank you Ray for the home inspection! I'd recommend Ray if you are shopping around for a competitive rate!

We hired him to inspect a…read moresingle family home for us, and he was responsive and highly professional -- but with a sense of humor. He arrived at the house before we did, and had filled out all of the necessary paperwork to get the inspection rolling the night before. The inspection itself was incredibly thorough, which was wonderful, because as we went through the house with Harold, it was clear that the house needed more work than we had thought when we made our offer. There were many problems (costly problems that also would have grown into health hazards) he pointed out to us -- but that had been concealed to the untrained eye. Harold emailed us an extremely detailed report later that night with pictures, and clear language and recommendations. We determined that we were not going to buy the house, and we have Harold to thank for helping us to avoid huge issues down the road. Back into the housing market now, which stinks -- but we will absolutely hire Mt. Vernon Inspection Associates when we find the next house!

Thank you Mike and B-sure team!

I learned so much about the place that I'm trying to buy--what it needs right away (not much thank goodness), what's good about it (a lot, thank goodness), what would be good to address at some point that's not urgent.... He explained what kind of person to hire for the various jobs when the time comes--pointing, radiators, windows, etc.--and how to tell whether they were doing the job well. It was fascinating and fun to watch him work and learn about the unfamiliar systems and technology. I feel completely at peace with my decision to go forward, and I feel knowledgeable about things I knew nothing about. And his fee was very reasonable. Jim said I was welcome to call him if I have any questions at all. Which I might. I am pleased and grateful.

We hired Coastal for our home inspection, as they were suggested to us (along with a few other…read moreoptions) by our realtor. We went with them because they were highly rated and you could schedule your inspection conveniently online. John was our home inspector and he was incredibly thorough. The home we are purchasing isn't old (built in 2001), but I wish we had known about Coastal and used them for our current home, which was built considerably earlier. John was so detailed in his report, I'd recommend him for any home inspection, but especially ones that are for older homes needing a keen eye and a fine-toothed comb. He called out everything and his report came color-coded with photos for references. He struck a good balance between being efficient (the whole inspection for a 3500 sq ft home took just about 3 hours) and being communicative with me. He showed me everything he felt was noteworthy. We're hoping that this is our forever home, but if we ever do move or buy a vacation property, I'll definitely work with Coastal again. Thanks John!
