Get matched with top home inspectors in Chestnut Hill, MA

"Mr Sobol performed an inspection of a 1700 sq ft home in Shrewsbury. He made himself available on short notice. This was my 4th home purchase, and I know a few things - but, he found several things that I missed. He was eager to explain the tradeoffs and the concerns about various items. Ultimately, his findings led to an additional $9k of consideration from the seller. Though he did not estimate the work, his report allowed me to create an estimate spreadsheet that allowed me to negotiate from a well-informed position."

"Mike completed two home inspections for residential properties I was looking to purchase. He completed a thorough inspection and walked me step-by-step with what he found. Turn around for the report was quick as well."

"L & M Home Inspection Service made it easy to get an appointment right away and were very thorough with the house inspection. We even received the report the next day as promised. I would definitely use them again."

"He is very punctual, arriving at the house even earlier and starting the inspection promptly. He is very experienced and shared valuable house-maintenance knowledge with us. After the inspection, he emailed me the report the next day. It was a great experience working with him."

"Very professional and thorough with my home inspection, learnt alot."

I waited six months to submit this review because I wanted to see how well the gutter guards Joe and his team installed would hold up.  They really work great, especially during the heavy fall leaf season as well as during the recent snow storm.   I am extremely happy with the service I received and the price was very reasonable.

We had a basement problem possibly due to gutter overflow because there are tall trees around the house clogging the gutters.  We had called another gutter company in for cleaning and they charged us about $300 a trip.  It was expensive and we almost needed to clean every 2 weeks during Spring and Fall. 

I called Joe and he personally answered the phone and came out quickly to look at the job.  He showed us several options for the gutter guard.  He was very honest and recommended one design he liked (actually the cheapest option).  I looked up online myself.  Consumer reports also suggested that that particular design was the most effective one based on their testing.  So we went with that particular design. It is made of steel (feels very study, not the flimsy plastic ones) and easy to clip on and off for cleaning or gutter repair. 

On the day of the installation, Joe and his teammate came on time and they installed the gutter guards after they cleaned the gutter.  In addition, Joe also noticed that two flashings needed to be changed.  He made two copper flashings on the spot and fixed them next to the gutter and they look great.  Joe also repaired a few leak spots in the gutter and re-pitched one of the gutters next to the porch.   He was meticulous and really nice and honest. His price is very fair considering the service we received.

Joe's installation of gutter guards for the house only cost us less than $700 including material compared to $300/ cleaning we had been paying.  I highly recommend him and his team.  Not only was his price very fair, his service was superior to others.  Our basement problem did not come back and the gutters work great.

"Power Home Remodeling knocked on our door one day and we decided to have an estimate on our roof. Andrew and Bobby came out to inspect our roof and give us an estimate. They were very knowledgeable and professional. We decided to use Power to install our roofing system. They came out a week later, everyone was on time and we are very pleased to have chosen Power."

"Like most home owners, we've had our share of contractor nightmares, and were bracing ourselves for yet more problems.  But working with Tim and his crew was the best experience imaginable.  We received bids from two companies.  The bid from the first company, which has also received high marks on Angieslist, was considerably higher in price, and while friendly, the company representative with whom we met did not show interest in examining roof from inside attic, just walked around the outside of the house and then provided a written quote a few days later.  When we met with Tim, from On Top, he was very meticulous in his examination of the roofing situation, both inside and out.  Further, given the fact that we frequently get ice dams, he suggested that his crew put down a 12' ice shield on the back roof (rather than the usual 6', as suggested by the representative from the other company), since that part of the roof faces North.  We decided to go with Tim, due to his level of professionalism, his very friendly manner, and the more affordable pricing.  In the days leading up to the work, he was exceedingly kind and patient in responding to numerous emails regarding our choice of roofing (in the end, we went with Certainteed Landmark, which--after much research on our part--seemed to be the most reliable and attractive choice, and we are thrilled with the result).  We set a date and time to begin work, and at 8:00 a.m. sharp on that date, the crew (about 7 people total!), showed up and energetically began tearing off our old roof.  In the course of their work, they replaced a great deal of rotted roof wood before beginning the new roof.  These guys worked unbelievably hard, all day long, barely taking time for lunch.  In addition to the exterior roofing, they removed all the old, disintegrating insulation from the attic, made some attic repairs, and put up some baffling for heat distribution. By the end of the day, more than half the work was done.  They were all, without exception, friendly and professional.  Before they left, they cleaned everything up, to the point where--if you didn't look at the roof--you wouldn't have guessed that any work was in progress on the property!  At 8:00 a.m. the next morning, they were back, worked just as hard, and by the time they had finished the front roof, the gutter person showed up (also super-friendly and professional), as if by magic (in terms of timing). The guys finished the entire roof by around 3:00 p.m.; the gutters were done by 5:00 p.m., and the clean-up by both was spotless.  Seriously, this company is "top-notch," and we can't recommend them highly enough.

"GREAT! They conducted a review of my slate roof, facilitated repairs and provided a complete report on my roofs "health""

"Outstanding responsiveness, work, professionalism, everything - I am very grateful!  I called Willard on a Friday, and 
1. A very helpful and straightforward person picked up the phone immediately;
2. A gentleman came the next work day to examine the job;
3. Willard emailed me a detailed and comprehensive quote the next day;
4. Willard ordered parts immediately upon receipt of contract and deposit; and
5. Willard returned in one week and did all the work in one day, so neatly and so cleanly the only change I noticed on coming home was that suddenly I had new skylights and repaired roof and siding.  

The windows and roofing stood up under a downpour without a drop getting through, and I now have amazing solar-powered motorized skylights.  Every time I contacted Willard the phone was answered right away, and every time Willard came exactly when scheduled.  The contract manager was kind enough to go through the entire job details with me and also to give advice on another structural problem with the house.  This after I already had been left hanging by one "top-rated" company and ignored by a second.  

I am very thankful, and I certainly hope to use Willard for any and all construction needs!  "
