I hired John to inspect a home I was buying, and while my realtor warned me that he was expensive, I have 0 regrets about paying a couple hundred dollars extra for the quality of work that was done. John easily saved me four times as much as I paid for his services. John was incredibly thorough, informative, and professional. He took the time to explain everything that he was looking at to me, in addition to going over why it was an issue and how to remediate it (without being an alarmist about any of it). Very matter-of-fact and respectful in the way that he spoke, which I personally appreciated as the seller's realtor became increasingly upset as John found issues they hadn't disclosed. In the five hours it took for the inspection, I learned more about home ownership than I have in my entire life. He brought a drone to inspect the roof, infrafred sensors to detect discrepancies in wall temperatures, a (mostly) tamper-proof radon monitor, and a camera to take pictures to accompany his report. He got back to us within 48 hours with a 50+ page report with pictures outlining everything that he looked at, which gave me a tremendous amount of leverage for negotiating prior to closing and also a list of every conceivable repair that I'd need to address after closing. I'd give him 6 stars if I could. read more

Called Thursday they were able to do it Friday. they showed up 15 minutes early. John and Jim split up the inspection. John doing the structural and Jim looking at the plumbing and electrical. The contract they gave me went beyond the requirements.They went on mass.gov to check to see if a lead inspection was ever done on the house and when there was nothing on the one i was looking at, they search the surrounding homes. Then supplied me with FEMA's nation flood hazard layer and another sheet showing chemical spills in the town. they were there for 2hrs and 15min looked at every inch of the house. Talked me through the terminology they have to use and not to get to worried about the phasing. Teaching me as they went along. Jim is also an instructor at Assebet Valley technical school. Ended up not going for the house the roof was going to be too much work. Along with a lot of small things. they are on the more expensive end but you get what you pay for and for an investment as big as a house don't skimp on the inspection. Last side note incredibly nice and great sense of humor Jim was cracking jokes the whole time, will use again. read more

John from WAVE Inspections was the most thorough home inspector I could ever imagine. He saved us from a house that looked great but was plagued with hidden problems. He provided a thorough and detailed report that was easy to understand and we were excited to have him for our next inspection. Our second inspection with John was just as thorough and he provided an extremely detailed report afterwords once again. We felt confident with our purchase after John's inspection and I would recommend him hands down to anyone looking to purchase a home. John was very polite, unbelievably knowledgeable in building, plumbing, and electrical codes, and quickly provided the reports after the inspection. WAVE inspections uses the most up to date equipment to give an amazingly detailed look into any property and will give you an easy to understand explanation for any issues that may arise during and after the inspection. read more

John arrived on site early, my wife and I got to the house about 5 minutes before he was supposed to be there and he was already hard at work. He wave at us from the roof and came down to meet us when he was done. He and his partner Nick were very meticulous. During the inspection, I followed John around and he made sure to explain to me everything that he was doing/seeing and even gave me some pointer as to how to maintain certain things and where to look when I had certain types of issues. This was something that I really appreciated as I am a first time home owner. He also took photos of everything and made sure to walk me through what each photo was showing. On top of it all, he was quick, something that impressed our real state agent. I highly recommend WAVE inspection to anyone looking to buy a new home and be sure that it is safe, especially first time home buyers. read more

I contacted John on short notice to perform a home inspection on a prospective home to be purchased. John and Wave Inspection staff were more than accommodating and were able to schedule the inspection within days. I am grateful to have had John for a home inspector. He taught me so much and has a way of explaining highly technical information to the lay person. He has all the latest technology but the real key is his incredible work ethic. To top it off, he had our inspection report to us within 24 hours. In the end, he helped us avoid a problemsome purchase but I feel confident calling him again for our next inspection. I would recommend John and Wave inspection to everyone! They are the best. read more

I have had the opportunity to work with the folks at Wave Inspection on several occasions. On every instance I have always been impressed on this company professionalism, on how knowledgeable and thorough the crew is. In addition to their attention to detail and taking the time during the walk through of the property to explain what they are doing, potential problems that they see etc. The inspection report that they provide is also very detail accompanied with pictures. Wave Inspection also have the capability of inspecting the roof of the property using a drone which is very helpful since you can clearly see areas where the roof might need repairs. read more

I showed up for our scheduled appointment time and John was already on site inspecting the exterior of the complex. Inspection was very thorough with a detailed report and pictures of the breakdown to follow. At the end time was taken to explain all of his findings and an honest assessment of each point was given. When I left the property after the inspection, I felt very comfortable that there would be no future surprises. Both my agent and the sellers were very impressed with how professional and thorough John was during the inspection. Will be recommending WAVE inspection services to my friends/family in the future. read more

It was so kind of John who could do the home inspection on Sunday afternoon on July 29. I could not be happier to work with John who gave a thorough inspection for 3.5 hours in this 4 beds and 2baths house in Stoneham, MA. He's all in! I have never seen an inspector who worked so hard and put every detail of inspection on the inspection report. I would give him 6 stars if I can. One thing I can guarantee is you will never regret hiring him to do such an important work in the process of buying a house. ( I wrote this comment in Zillow too, so I just copied it here) Great job, John! read more

John is very professional, diligent, thoughtful, and friendly. He explained everything to us on the day of inspection, and sent us a very detailed report the next day. I learned so much about house maintenance from him! He also has a lot of professional equipments, like infrared to detect temperature differences, and a drone that he can fly up to inspect the roof. Even the listing agent asked for his card! She said she's never seen anyone who's so detailed in house inspection. read more

John was friendly and his inspection was extremely thorough. He took the time to answer all our questions. He photo-documented the entire inspection, so nearly every item in the report had a photo attached. The report for my 1000 sq. ft. home was 60 pages. I will use John again on our next home inspection, and I can highly recommend him. read more
