Thank you so much for your excellent advice about our home inspection process! We are so grateful to you!

Avoid. Not thorough and took double the time of the usual inspector. Did not check the chimney clean outs to see that the removed fireplace was not sealed off from the bare studs of the living room. Did not note the massive cracks in garage foundation. Did not find mold behind freezer. read more

We chose Ray as our home inspector, after shopping around different rates and inspectors. We initially had recommendations from our real estate agent but decided to use Yelp to explore other options. Ray's price came out to be very competitive, in addition to being immediately responsive to my Yelp message inquiries. His website is also nicely designed, I'd say better than many other home inspection websites. I didn't see a sample report on his website but messaged him and Ray emailed a sample copy right away. While there was no recommended Yelp review when we chose him, I did see some other Google reviews for his company and verified his license on the Massachusetts website (https://elicensing.mass.gov/CitizenAccess/GeneralProperty/PropertyLookUp.aspx?isLicensee=Y).   On the inspection day, Ray arrived a few minutes earlier than the agreed time. He was very thorough and knowledgeable. You can tell he is passionate about what he does. He sent his report the same day and it was easy to read and understand. You do have to sign an agreement before the service, but mine went to my junk folder and I didn't see it until after the inspection. Here are some important details that may be relevant to others: COVID 19 Procedures in place: Inspector will wear mask and gloves, as well as practice social distancing. Anyone attending the inspection is required to wear a mask. We ask that you limit attendees, or take turns inside the home to be able to appropriately distance from others. The agreement is available for electronic signature. REPORT DELIVERY: Emailed within 24 hours to you and your agent (with your permission), with high quality photos included. UTILITIES: Please make sure the utilities (water, gas, electric) are on so the inspection does not have to be rescheduled. ATTIC ACCESS: The inspector needs clear access to the attic on your behalf. The inspector cannot move belonging's to gain access. CANCELLATION POLICY: There will be a $250 cancellation fee for any cancellation with less than 24 hour notice. You must call the office at 978-443-8598 to cancel. You will receive a text confirmation that the inspection has been cancelled. If you do not receive that, please call to confirm. Thank you for your cooperation. For other cancellations, any fees that were paid by credit card will be refunded less a 5% processing fee. Thank you Ray for the home inspection! I'd recommend Ray if you are shopping around for a competitive rate! read more

We were in a bind and needed a home inspection the very next day. I called Ray from Blue Owl Home Inspection and he he was able to come on short notice when I needed him. He is detail oriented and knows his stuff, I was impressed with his knowledge and high level of expertise. He also offered his advice for anything we may need in the future. Moving is never easy, he made a difficult situation more bearable. Highly recommended! -Mike H. read more

Very thorough inspection! Leave me with confidence and great knowledge of my new house!

As a first time homebuyer, I appreciate how thorough Ray was, and that he took the time to explain everything clearly to me. He helped me build my to-d0 list, and his official report was emailed to me same-day. I will definitely be using Blue Owl again in the future! read more

Oh man, Blue Owl to the rescue! We needed a rush home inspection on a property before we proceeded with the usual purchasing steps and Ray was fantastic, prompt, professional, and very accommodating, not to mention thorough! 10/10 would recommend! read more

Very thorough, patient, and kind, not alarmist while also catching many small items needing repair and giving advice on how to maintain the house. Also the best price that was quoted. Definitely recommended! read more

Ray was on time, very meticulous and clearly explained everything to us. We highly recommend Ray for any inspection needs.

Everything was camouflaged in the house and inspectors failed to find out. He just had disclaimer- I can't see well, you can't sue me

Ray was extremely knowledgeable and professional. We hired him first for a "pre-inspection". He gave us the confidence to proceed with an offer waiving an inspection which worked out very well for us. We then hired him after to do a more comprehensive inspection and Radon testing. We highly recommend him! read more

I highly recommend Blue Owl Home Inspection. Raymond was prompt, courteous and knowledgeable. I called him at the last minute to do a pre-offer home inspection. He took his time and was very thorough. He provided me his professional and honest assessment of the home. His price was very fair. I felt comfortable with his professional assessment. I will definitely use him again. Russ read more

Used Blue Owl for a Home Inspection. Ray was terrific. Very thorough and provided a detailed report that also included photos and explanations of any issues. Very nice person too. I highly recommend this company! read more

Ray was amazingly patient and detailed with all of our questions. He clearly outlined where our priorities are with repairs and told us exactly how to go about getting it done. read more

We had a great experience with Ray at Blue Owl Home Inspection. He came out the next day as we were in need of a home inspection pretty quickly. Ray did a great job explaining things to us and prepared a very detailed, user-friendly report with pictures. We are very pleased with our experience with Blue Owl. Thanks Ray! read more

Ray inspected a townhouse I am purchasing. He was extremely thorough and took his time to expect the home. I also had him perform a mold test. He responded to my inquiry quickly and I was more than pleased to have hired him for the job. I would highly recommend Ray if you are looking for a home inspection. You will not be disappointed. read more

Ray did a great job inspecting my future home. He has a very sharp eye for abnormalities and was extremely thorough. There are many things he pointed out that would not have crossed my mind to check. He was also right on time to our appointment and had the report ready before the end of the day it was completed. I definitely recommend him! read more

Ray was very knowledgeable, easy to schedule, and very good at explaining things. He got us the written report within a day and was available for follow up questions. In the middle of the stress of buying a house, it's great to have someone who is dependable. read more

I recently purchased my home and waived the home inspection in the offer process, but once we had moved into the house, we wanted to have an informational home inspection done. Ray was absolutely wonderful, and talked us through everything he was looking at and what we could look out for in terms of regular maintenance (which was incredibly helpful as first time homeowners). Then, he also provided a list of vendors who could help resolve some of the issues we had discussed during the inspection. Scheduling the inspection was easy and flexible, and communication was great (call/text/email). Overall, this was a great service, and I would 100% recommend Ray if you are looking for a home inspection! read more

Amazingly knowledgeable, expert, and thorough. Invaluable for any home.

Ray did a great job on our home inspection in Boston in April 2021. He was thorough, informative, punctual, and easy to work with. He provided lots of detailed information and gave us plenty of time and space to ask additional questions. I would definitely hire again! read more

Ray was prompt in getting back to me initially, which is why I ended up choosing him. The inspection was extremely thorough, nothing left unchecked. Ray knows what he's taking about and explains everything so well you'll feel knowledgeable about a plethora of issues that never crossed your mind. Competitive rates, same day report, and extremely pleasant and professional. Would recommend Ray in a heart beat. read more

Professional, reliable, on-time, and overall great and trustworthy company, highly recommend.

Ray is fantastic! He had availability right away, responded to me promptly, and even arrived to the inspection before I did, ready to go. I could also book my inspection online, which helps a lot when you suddenly have an accepted offer and a flurry of activities need to be lined up right away. I am a single woman purchasing my first home alone, so I am overwhelmed to say the least. Ray took the time to explain everything as he went along, pointing out things like the type of filter my HVAC system needs and even showing me how to turn off the water and electricity in case of an emergency. I received not only a thorough inspection, but a much better understanding of how components in my home work. It meant the world to me that he went above and beyond to provide a meticulous inspection AND a very valuable learning experience. I now feel much more empowered and confident that I can maintain a home on my own. During my home buying experience, there were other buyers who were willing to waive the home inspection just to get the sellers to accept their offer; I cant even imagine having missed out on such an incredible opportunity to take advantage of Ray's knowledge and experience. Ray helped put my anxious mind at ease and I'm so grateful. 5 stars is not enough! Thanks so much Ray!! read more
