The inspection was thorough, and Liz walked us through every single part of our house in a gentle manner. There was nothing scary or overwhelming - she made observations and offered some suggestions on what we might want to do, or what we don't absolutely need to do before moving in. It's clear Liz's goal is to complete the inspection, while also helping us to understand how to live in the house. I'd recommend her to anyone!

After having it serviced, we were told the boiler is junk and that it needed replacement. We have been informed from multiple people that this was a glaring issue that should have been caught upon inspection. After a very complicated and taxing process, we are now over $12K in the hole for a boiler replacement & other matters regarding this, even after paying $35K over asking price for the house. 3 stars because I understand it is a tough situation to be in especially because inspection was performed during late summer, when the boiler hadn't been running for some time, and we watched our inspector run the boiler for over 45 minutes producing only a small amount of leaking water (which we have been told, is apparently normal).

We had a really wonderful experience with Harold as our home inspector. We hired him to inspect a…read moresingle family home for us, and he was responsive and highly professional -- but with a sense of humor. He arrived at the house before we did, and had filled out all of the necessary paperwork to get the inspection rolling the night before. The inspection itself was incredibly thorough, which was wonderful, because as we went through the house with Harold, it was clear that the house needed more work than we had thought when we made our offer. There were many problems (costly problems that also would have grown into health hazards) he pointed out to us -- but that had been concealed to the untrained eye. Harold emailed us an extremely detailed report later that night with pictures, and clear language and recommendations. We determined that we were not going to buy the house, and we have Harold to thank for helping us to avoid huge issues down the road. Back into the housing market now, which stinks -- but we will absolutely hire Mt. Vernon Inspection Associates when we find the next house!

On the day of the actual inspection I had buyer and seller agent waiting to make sure we could get it done at 8:00am. At 8:10 called Joe and he kept on saying traffic was bad, it did not sound like he was even in the car. At 8:38 he texted me saying he is up against his next job, traffic is bad and we need to go re-schedule as he is not sure when he will get in. He knew appt was at 8am, he knew there will be traffic coming into the city and made 3 people wait. Absolutely unprofessional and unacceptable. He came through a recommendation, definitely will report back. AVOID!

He is full of knowledge and has answered every question asked (I had about a million questions). He took his time (about 2 hrs), which was wonderful as experience did not feel rushed in any way.

It is great to have a peace of mind and be equipped with knowledge of the property ins and outs when you are trying to purchase a home, particularly in Boston where everything is so old. Thank you Mike and B-sure team!

Doing a web search, Metro was one of many home inspection companies that had a straight-forward website and online booking. However, what set Metro apart from the others is that they listed the available days and time slots that they had inspectors available. They even had the name of the most probable (subject to change) inspector to make the appointment. That was important because I knew when the home we were considering was available to be opened, and I could quickly line up a day/time that worked out for both sides. After the appointment was set, I was called by one of the staff. She called to "talk me out of" the radon and pest inspection services (extra charge) because of the type of home and area it was located, those services were not valuable. The cherry on top was that for the month, they were giving a "gold" discount on the overall cost. Inspection went as planned and I received the final report by the end of the same day. I never had to state that I needed a quick turnaround, but I get the sense they knew based on the dates of our real estate transaction. Just superb service, and really made me feel I could not get as good of a service with any of the other inspection companies I was considering. If we ever buy another property in the metro Boston area, I'm using Metro 100%!

The inspection was very thorough, and Tod took his time to ensure he didn't miss anything that could cause issues down the road.

I highly recommend Tod and his company for your inspection needs and will be using their services again in the future.
