We are an experienced and professional Home Inspection Company that has successfully served our customers for 25 years. We are based on Boston’s North Shore and regularly travel nearly anywhere based on our customers needs. Established by me, Charlie Ricker, I perform very thorough Home Inspections for buyers who want and need to know the true unbiased condition of the property. Then, as an educated buyer you can make decisions about your purchase. Every inspection is completed as if I were buying the property myself and I am squarely in your corner at all times. A quality home inspection performed by an experienced home inspector is one of the most important steps in the home buying process and if done properly it can save you thousands of dollars in some cases. During the inspection I also make sure that you are familiarized with the operating systems of the property, emergency and seasonal shut-offs, and I also offer recommendations on maintenance issues. I service all of Boston's North Shore, Marblehead, Salem, Beverly, Manchester, Etc. All of Cape Ann, Gloucester, Ipswich, all of the Boxford/Topsfield areas up to New Hampshire, and everywhere in between. I also work in The City(s) of Boston, Cambridge, Charlestown, Somerville, Newton, Wellesley, Needham, Concord, Belmont, Brookline, Etc. Essentially from the Cape and Islands out to Worcester, and up into New Hampshire and Maine.

Building Inspections, Llc. recently performed a thorough and complete home
inspection on a detached condominium I am purchasing. I could not be happier with his inspection
and expertise. He was able to point out
a major safety concern that could have resulted in a significant fire.
This is actually the second time I have benefited from his expert
services. The first time was during an
inspection on a single family home over the summer. During that inspection he noted serious
concerns which enabled me to withdraw my offer.
I was able to avoid being stuck in a home that would have required numerous
repairs, time, frustration, anxiety, lost sleep, and money.
His reports are detailed, thorough, and informative. He is friendly, honest, and
professional. I am a first time home
buyer and he put my mind at ease. I
highly recommend his services.
He does not give an estimate on how long the inspection will take. He takes his time - as long as needed. He encourages lots of questions and treats the inspection like an educational experience for us about our new home as well as the technical inspection.
His report is thorough and written. Not a check list. Charlie is available 24/7 on his cell phone and is fast to respond.
His fee may be slightly higher than most (depends on the home), but you definitely get what you pay for. Best investment we could have made.
I cannot recommend him highly enough.
