TLDR version: I'm very glad I chose Green House Home Inspection (GHHI) and was incredibly impressed…read morewith Jared's thoroughness during the walkthrough. Highly recommend him if you need a home inspection as a buyer! Now, for the lengthier review. My agent provided me with a list of home inspection companies, and after reviewing each company's website, GHHI stood out. I quickly understood what the inspection included, that the team had the necessary qualifications and certifications, and that they were a BBB accredited business with an A+ rating (I verified!). My husband and I had a laundry list of inspections we wanted done, and GHHI was able to provide most of them for reasonable, additional fees; at the time of this review, they also offer wood destroying organism inspections, radon air tests ($150), and comprehensive water tests ($250, includes water quality and radon). The total cost of the home inspection + all add-ons for a 2-story home with an unfinished basement was $1,125. This felt incredibly reasonable, and it was also very convenient to schedule so many inspections with one company. I've only had one other home inspection experience as a buyer, and while I remember that report being detailed and somewhat helpful, the inspector did everything himself for 3+ hours, so we had no context for the details he shared and we felt quite disconnected from the process. Jared (the owner of GHHI) takes a totally different approach, and I'm here for it. Jared arrived early and started to walk the property, and once I arrived, he explained his style and how he prefers for folks to walk with him. I was impressed with how thorough he was and his multi-tasking; not only was he performing the inspection, but taking photos and notes, educating me, and answering my questions. As an aside: I'm interested in learning about my future home but this is absolutely not my wheelhouse, and I think Jared did a great job of explaining things in layman's terms. The inspection took roughly 4 hours; I had a septic inspection at the same time, and Jared was very accommodating (and helpful!) when we needed to stop and chat with that inspector. Jared conducted our home inspection in the morning and we received the report that night! I appreciated that photos were included (for evidence purposes but to also jog my memory) and a rating system was employed. A Table of Contents made it easy to jump around. I think the report provided helpful general information as well as notes about recommendations and issues. While the amount of text was more on the concise side, I felt it was adequate and professional. Jared really went above and beyond during the inspection itself, so I think a review really needs to take that process and those conversations into account. I will take Jared's combo approach, which includes a thorough inspection with the client + conversations + a report with photos, over another inspector's approach that is quite removed and only includes a report. Again, I highly recommend Green House Home Inspection, specifically Jared. He was incredibly personable and ensured the inspection process was educational, and dare I say, enjoyable!

He told us what to do and who to call for the little things we will be doing after closing. He got into what I though was an inaccessible attic space and found valuable information. He never rushed, was pleasant to us and the homeowners throughout. I have been on quite a few home inspections, this was the most thorough. Great job, thanks so much Jared!

I have used Bean Home Inspectors for the last 3 homes I've bought. Randy is very honest and if…read moresomething is an easy fix, he'll tell you. If there's a problem coming down the road, he'll tell you that too. He has put me where I can make a proper offer or even adjust an offer if he thinks I should, if something is going to cost more than I would expect. My wife and I have bought 4 homes in New Hampshire and on the first I used someone else and they didn't pick up on some bad wiring (that cost dearly to fix) and also they didn't go up in the attic and look hard, they just poked their head around. Ended up the house had ice dam damage. I'm glad I met Randy and consider him someone you can trust.

He showed up when scheduled, did the work, took pictures, sent the invoice....all very clean, simple direct. On a return visit, he also installed a stainless steel sleeve in one of the flues. Very nice, clean, tight installation. What's not to like? Responsive, communicates, shows up when scheduled, does good work, sends detailed invoice. And yes, I am a real customer. Hope the review helps.

I hired Alpha Inspection for a commercial property inspection about 6 months prior to this message…read moreand paid approximately $2,000 for what I expected to be a professional and informative evaluation. After closing on the property, I discovered during the permitting process that the entire electrical system had to be replaced to meet building code requirements--resulting in an unexpected cost of approximately $52,000. When I contacted Alpha Inspection, I was told they "do not perform code compliance inspections." That response was shocking. The report I received largely consisted of observations that were already visible to anyone walking through the building and failed to identify or even warn about a major issue that led to a massive financial loss. For a $2,000 inspection, I expected far more than a surface-level report with no real value. Even more concerning is the complete lack of professionalism in their follow-up. After I spoke directly with the owner, he told me he would investigate and call me back. That never happened. I waited a week, sent a follow-up text, and still received no response. As a business owner myself, I understand that mistakes can happen--but ignoring a client after such a serious issue is unacceptable. This experience has cost me $52,000 in unexpected upgrades and left me with zero confidence in the value or accountability of their services. I strongly advise anyone considering Alpha Inspection to think twice and to hire licensed specialists separately for critical systems, because this inspection did not provide the level of diligence or responsibility one would reasonably expect.
