About us

Inspections Plus Is Making Lives Better! Our mission is to provide clients with the education and insight necessary to make a sound decision when purchasing a home. We provide expert knowledge and know-how to maintain, keep safe and retain value in all property types whether building, buying, selling or renovating. We have a unique and lengthy history inspecting antique and historic homes in the Massachusetts and Rhode Island areas and are comfortable consulting at any age construction property. With this, we are also experts of current and late-era construction practices and the various methods that fail which are commonly found at all property types, commercial or residential. We are members of ASHI (American Society of Home Inspectors) as well as adhere to all state licensing requirements. ASHI is the most respected professional association for home inspectors in North America and its Standards of Practice & Code of Ethics have set the absolute highest industry benchmark for professionalism and has become part of many pieces of legislation throughout the United States. We provide water quality with the use of state certified labs and are qualified Radon testers. We perform EMF (electromagnetic fields) surveys and perform flow/yield services on residential and some commercial water well systems. Our typical clients are looking to learn about their properties and prevent costly future surprises. There are usually some issues at just about every home that haven’t been disclosed or discovered yet. Being made aware of these issues is the first step. Correcting them is second. Learning preventative practices to stop persisting issues is the last and most valuable measure we will provide guidance to better understand. We offer expert advice to clients: Purchasing or Building New Homes Selling Existing Homes Improving the Condition and Safety of Current Homes Maintaining & Managing Maintenance of Current Homes or Properties Considering Investment Property

Steve is a true professional who takes his role very seriously. He arrived 30 min before the scheduled time. He is extremely through and went through every minute details related to the house. He took time to explain his assessment for an item and encouraged us to ask questions. He answered all of our questions to our satisfaction. His answers were supported by logical arguments. We could see that he was very experienced and has very good understanding of house construction process. Throughout the 4+ hours process, he was very calm and relaxed and that helped us to think of our questions. He is equipped with quite a few gadgets that helped him decide conclusively on certain things. For e.g., when we were sure that certain plank of wood was soaked in water, he could take readings of the moisture content and compare it to that of dry wood to convince otherwise. He provided us complete report very next day, with quite a lot of information about general house maintenance, which is over and above the findings of the inspection. We were extremely satisfied with Steve's work.

Stephen is an amazing home inspection professional. He possesses a wealth of knowledge and makes you feel comfortable that you are in good hands. Not only did he perform a thorough inspection of the home I purchased before I bought it, but even AFTER I already moved in, I contacted him with some questions about the house and he came out to my house again at no additional charge to take a second look and answer my questions. Highly recommend him to everyone.

Stephen was there before we arrived and he was extremely thorough. He also is a very likable and personable. He walked us through each detail that needed attention to and made sure to take our concerns into consideration when discussing such matters. Thumbs up!!! Great job.

Steve was quick to respond to inquiries. When I tried to book an appointment on the Inspections Plus website, all appointments for the week had been booked, so I emailed to see if anything was available and he responded promptly with an opening. Steve was at the appointment before I arrived, already inspecting the exterior of the home. He answered my questions during the inspection and provided a detailed report the same day. It was the second time I used Inspections Plus and I would use them again if I needed another home inspection.

The inspection was incredibly thorough and very informative. We arrived early and the inspector was already there getting started. He talked us through everything he noticed during the inspection, providing lots of detail and frequent opportunities for us to ask questions. The inspector pointed out which issues are common issues with older homes, and which were specific to this house. He took lots of pictures and offered us access to all of the photos (which we never took him up on), in addition to including relevant photos in the inspection report. Our inspection was in the afternoon and we received the very detailed report that same night. The price was a bit high because of the extras we requested, but it was well worth the money!

Steve was very thorough and knowledgeable.  He explained everything in great detail and provided a very detailed report with pictures and suggestions for repairs for both now and in the future.  The report was emailed the same day as the inspection.  Steve also made it very clear that while he does not perform any repairs, he will always be available for questions or advice on repairs in the future.

Stephen showed up to the house early and had already done an initial walk around the house prior to our arrival.  He took us around exterior and interior of the house and showed us everything that was in need of repair or maintenance, and gave us many great tips on how to maintain the house.  He taught us things about our future house that we might not have known otherwise.  The same day, Stephen emailed us a very professional, very detailed report describing everything we discussed during the inspection and more. 

Stephen was a pleasure to work with and we will definitely be referring him to friends and would absolutely hire him in the future.

Steven was a consummate professional. He arrived at least 10 minutes early (he was there before we arrived) and he had already started to walk around the home and begun to identify some points. Steven engaged both my wife and I throughout the inspection, taking the time to explain his observations with the right level of detail and patience. He generated the report within the same day, including all of the details he patiently discussed with us at the conclusion of the inspection. If/when we need another home inspection, the provider selection will be a no-brainer, and we will definitely strongly recommend him to friends and family.

When I was looking for a home inspector, I turned to angieslist to find one. After reading the reviews on Inspections Plus, I contacted them and received a response back the same day. I chose Inspections Plus because of the positive reviews and after using them, I have to say the reviews were 100% accurate. Steve was early to the scheduled appointment. During the inspection, he did a great job of explaining what he was looking for and what he found. He was thorough in his inspection of the house and I had a detailed report with pictures the same day. As a first time home buyer, it was helpful to hear from Steve which issues were of major concern and which were of lesser concern.

After looking at many houses, I thought I had the home I wanted and put in an offer. It was accepted and I contacted Inspections Plus to do a home inspection. I'm glad I did, because the inspection revealed several major concerns about the house that I had not seen prior to putting an offer in, including mold in the basement and attic, as well as clapboard that was not properly installed. I used the information garnered from the home inspection to look into approximately how much the major concerns would cost. Ultimately I decided not to purchase the house. Although disappointed that the house did not work out, I am glad to have learned about these major concerns before investing into both the cost of the home and the cost of the necessary repairs. I will use Inspections Plus when I do find the right house.

Steve is friendly, professional and punctual.  WIthin an hour of my request for a home inspection he responded with a potential date/time within the same week.  He arrived on time for the inspection.  I am a first time home buyer so Steve was kind enough to explain the process to me prior to beginning.  He was exceptionally thorough, pointing out structural details (pros/cons) that I never would have noticed. He identifed a few issues that were not disclosed to us - namely prior/possibly current water, vermon issue in basement and prior water damage in living/dining room.  The full report, including photos taken, was emailed to me and my realtor the same day.  Overall, I am very pleased with the services provided and would highly recommend Inspections Plus to a friend. I am also very likely to use them in the future.
