M.B. — WEST ROXBURY — HOMEGAUGE
“Wow. Talk about a thorough inspection. Not only were they extremely professional and meticulous in their work, but I’ve never seen a more detailed inspection report. Worth every penny.”
John was very thorough and knowledgeable. He caught some major issues that could have cost us money in the future.
J.L. — NEWTON — HOMEGAUGE
“I will recommend John to all of my friends and hope to do business again with him in the future.”
“He is very thorough… has a disarming and warm manner that put us at ease. I had follow-up questions for John after our inspection, and he very graciously took the time to speak with me, for which I will always be very grateful!”
“Awesome service! John knows the ins and outs of homes, and it shows. His report is extremely thorough, and we felt confident purchasing the home after his inspection. Definitely a worthwhile expense.”
“John was my inspector and did an excellent job. He was very detail oriented and took the extra time to answer all of my questions. I received the electronic PDF report the same day. I would recommend this company and especially John to any potential home buyers!”
“John was great. Clearly knew his stuff. He exposed a few potential issues that will now be taken care of by the developer that I would not have know about without him.”
“John was a great inspector. Spent three hours at the house, including one hour touring the outside before we arrived. Inspection report was extremely thorough, and will serve as a guide for renovations moving forward.”
John Gallagher did our inspection and it was the best home inspection experience I've had to date (this was the third I have gone through so far). John showed up early and walked the roof, and even went under the crawl space of a sunroom and porch. On my arrival he gave me a detailed breakdown of the issues he found and his estimate of the age of the roof (which matched to what the seller had told us) and showed us pictures of any major issues he found. We then took a thorough inspection of the interior of the house in all taking about 2.5 hours (added to the half hour he spent inspecting the exterior it was a total 3 hours). He clearly documented all findings and took pictures. The inspection was so detailed that I can't fit a full list in this review but he checked every square inch of the house including crawl spaces, and above ceilings when possible. And he took the time to explain everything he found and allowed me to inspect personally when I wanted so I could fully understand the issues that needed to be raised with the sellers.
The inspection was done in the late afternoon on a Friday and the report came early Saturday morning. It was electronic, easily accessible through the company website and well organized.In all the experience was as good as any home inspection can be and far better by light years of any experience I've had in the past. Given my past experiences I almost didn't do an inspection because they never seemed to find anything I couldn't see myself or gave no real information behind what they found. Even my brother, who was there with me and is a licensed contractor, was impressed by John and said "that guy really knows his stuff." You might think that all inspectors know their stuff but believe me I can say that is not the case from experience. Inspectors aren't required to have actual experience in the trades so many, in my experience at least, don't really know the building codes or could tell you the potential causes of certain conditions they find. He knew how everything in that house worked and all the code implications (including electrical). He found code violations from an extra layer of shingles on a section of the roof to poor grounding of a sub-panel. If ever I need to do another inspection I would definitely use them again and would recommend them to anyone who needs an inspection. This is the first time that I've had an inspection where I walked away confident that anything that could have been found was and that type of confidence is important when committing to buying a new home.”
