Maximum Inspection Services was started to provide quality home inspections to prospective home buyers and sellers of condos, townhouses, single- and multi-family homes. Maximum is owned and operated by Jeff Albert in 2009. I have performed more than one thousand home inspections since 2004. I have over fifteen years of experience in building science including lead paint testing (non-residential), asbestos in building inspections, mold assessments, home inspections and writing building damage repair estimates for insurance companies.

"Jeff was great. He was right on time, spent 2 hours checking the property, which involved 14 +ft ceiling beams that he checked with his ladder in multiple areas. He was kind enough to call a friend who lived in the building and have him come and tell us his experiences there. I would highly recommend him!"

Omega Home Inspections understands that purchasing a home is one of the biggest investments that you will make. We provide objective home inspections with context to help you make informed buying decisions. Our home inspection reports are computer-generated and easy-to-read that will be made available to you within 24 - 48 hours of the inspection. The home inspection usually lasts about three hours, depending on the size of the home and systems to be inspected. You are not required to be present during the inspection but you are welcome to attend and follow along with the inspector. We are excited to work for you and ensure you are making a sound investment! (We are not structural engineers and do not do structural inspections, nor do we inspect mobile homes.)

"Stuart is professional, thorough, responsive and very knowledgeable. He patiently answered all of our questions throughout the inspection and we left feeling like we had a great understanding of the home we're buying. As for the inspection report itself, I intend to reference it for months and years to come as I prioritize improvements. Stuart was also able to turn the report around quickly to accommodate the timelines of our purchase. I would 100% recommend him to anyone in need of home inspection services."

FAQs for home inspection projects in Ipswich, MA

It’s important to get a home inspection when buying a home because home inspectors are trained to examine the various aspects of a home to determine that everything is in good condition and find unseen problems that current homeowners need to fix before the home sale takes place. Although home inspections are not legally required, a thorough inspection can help you decide if you want to purchase a home. That’s why it’s essential to keep a home inspection contingency so that you have the option to walk away from the sale if the home inspection reveals expensive issues.

A home inspection typically includes the home inspector conducting a thorough visual examination of essential home structures and mechanical components. Afterward, the inspector will provide a home inspection report that relays descriptions of damage or other findings for the homeowner to review.

Home inspectors will examine the following home areas and features:

  • Plumbing

  • Electrical

  • Foundations

  • Roof

  • Windows and doors

  • Overall condition of interior and exterior

  • HVAC systems

  • Attics

  • Basements or crawl spaces

  • Major built-in appliances

Typically, a licensed and certified local home inspector conducts home inspections. Real estate agents often work closely with trusted home inspectors. Licensing requirements vary from state to state for home inspectors, but they must have local certification and valid insurance. Many licensed home inspectors belong to professional associations like the American Society of Home Inspectors.

Typically, the home buyer pays for the inspection by hiring a home inspector. This method helps you make an informed decision about a home’s condition before purchasing it. Home sellers can also conduct their own home inspection to ensure that they are getting the best price for their home and property.

On average, home inspections cost about $350, ranging from $200 to $500, depending on the home’s size, age, and location, plus any specialty inspections required. Additional cost factors include testing for asbestos or conducting thermal imaging tests to find infestations, checking energy efficiency, and looking for structural or electrical problems. If your home is more than 2,000 square feet, you can expect to pay $400 or more.
