Detailed, efficient, attentive, educator, and trustworthy describe the service and the feeling we walked away with after our home inspection performed by Dana Wilson. Dana arrived early to our scheduled appointment and had already began inspection of the exterior of the property. Dana was consistent in letting us know what he saw through-out the inspection, pausing to explain his comments, ensuring we understood the terminology and answered every question we had before moving on. What I found to be Dana's best attribute as a Home Inspector was his efficiency. As we looked around the home wondering where furniture would go, Dana had the opportunity to inspect rooms in great detail. He would later find us, staring at a wall thinking about paint colors, to walk through each room he had inspected discussing suggested maintenance, potential issues, and detailing noteworthy items. I've heard horror stories about purchasing a home, Agents, Inspectors, Mortgage Companies, etc. We've had a wonderful experience and our home purchase process may be an anomaly, but I believe choosing the right people (Agent, Home Inspector, etc.) ensures you have a great experience. I highly recommend Dana Wilson. Dana works for you, not the Agent or Seller. He's even available for questions after you receive his home inspection report. He's friendly and certainly has a great sense of humor. It's rare that you find services, individuals or products that you always recommend or bring up in conversation. Every time we talk about our home purchase experience, we'll certainly call out how great of a home inspector we had. read more

My husband and I are first time home buyers. We had no idea what to expect from a home inspection. I wasnt present for the inspection so this review is based on what I was told of the inspection from my husband and our realtor. They had nothing but positive feedback. When I emailed Dana Wilson through their website we were urgently responded to and were able to schedule quickly and conveniently. Matt was our inspector, who I was told previously worked in construction. He was extremely thorough and detailed. He was also friendly and personable. My husband is is handy but works in a different trade so hes not exactly knowledgeable when it comes to the small details that were noticed in the inspection. Matt made sure to involve my husband throughout the entire inspection - showing him the pros and cons of different areas within the house. He was able to learn a lot about the house we are buying and different things to pay attention to in the future. The inspection report came to us within 24 hours of the inspection and it was extremely detailed and thorough. It was easy for me to understand and review even though I wasn't present for the inspection. We would absolutely recommend this company to anyone and would love to use them in the future if needed. Our realtor also was extremely impressed with the services and intends on recommending to his future clients. read more

We have been shopping for a home for the last three months and cannot even imagine doing so without the help of Dana Wilson and his inspection service. He has already saved us thousands of dollars because of his thorough inspections of the two homes that we made our offers on. If not for his expertise and thoroughness on the first house, built in 1750, we would have been in major trouble. On this most recent home hear his inspection has helped us negotiate additional repairs before we close that we never would have been able to achieve without the attention to detail that he puts in. He is not one of those guys that just walk around the house and moves on. He also was not afraid to deliver bad news. The last inspection he did for us was over five hours in an antique home and he documented everything at a great level of detail both in writing and also with excellent photography. We are very grateful to have found him and would recommend him highly for anyone that is looking to purchase a property in Boston Metro West. read more

From the initial phone call to schedule the appointment, to the actual inspection, to the extremely fast turnaround time on the Home inspection Report, I can't say enough about our experience with Dana Wilson Home Inspection Services!! Matt Giusti was our home inspector; he was super friendly, approachable, detail oriented and very very thorough. He didn't mind us following him around (in fact he encouraged it) and he was more than willing to answer any questions we had. The owner of the company, Dana Wilson, even made a guest appearance at the Inspection. Turns out Dana was sick and had been in the hospital the night prior. He went out of this way to stop by our inspection and introduce himself. If that isn't top notch customer service, I don't know what is! The home inspection report itself was very detailed and the photo quality was perfect. Truly a wonderful experience with this company and I would highly recommend them to anyone. Thank you Dana and Matt! read more

As a Realtor representing both sellers and buyers, all of my customers have been very happy with the results of the inspection reports from both Dana and from Ed. It is the buyers that hire the inspectors to let them know about possible defects that aren't readily noticed. Whether the report and findings are used in negotiations for the final purchase price of the property is decided when an offer is made how this tool will be used if at all. Inspections are a huge part of learning about your new property, the intricacies of how things work, and the flaws a property may have, which in older homes is sometimes inevitable. If you hire an inspector as a buyer the report is yours to share with the seller if you decide. After all, as a buyer you are paying for this. Dana Wilson Inspection services is top notch! I recommend them for all type of properties! Please call or email to let me know when we can get together to view these properties. read more

When we were searching for a home inspection service we called Dana to ask a question about a concern we had regarding our prospective new home. He spent at least 20 minutes on the phone with us, providing his expert advice. And we hadn't even hired him yet. Then Cheryl squeezed us in to accommodate an early closing. Dana was very thorough and detailed, and answered all our questions along the way. I could see that he took great pride in his work. He provided a written report as well and we now have a working list as to what areas of the home will need our attention. Dana tested our well water, the flow, and also tested for radon in the air. We felt very confident, after his inspection, that we were buying a quality home. But if it had had any major defects we would have known that too. He was also available to answer other questions a few days later. We can't say enough good things about him and his company. He's the best! read more

My husband and I are first time home buyers and were recommended Dana Wilson by our realtors. We had Ed as our home inspector this past week and what an amazing experience! He was thorough, efficient, informative and very patient. He made us feel so comfortable with his easy laid back and humble persona while still being professional. (Thank goodness because I was such a nervous wreck) Ed was very knowledgeable and gave us tons of advice on care and maintenance for a 65 year old (and growing) home. Everything from making the appointment with Cheryl(who was a delight to speak with!) over phone to the highly detailed report with quality photos was perfect. They are reasonably priced compared to many other companies that would overcharge for this time of year. This is the standard that all home inspection services should have! It was such a pleasure and thank you for making our first experience a great and memorable one!! read more

Having sold real estate in the Bolton area for over 32 years, we have seen all the good and bad about home inspectors. Some inspectors are not very thorough and others can be overbearing, creating issues where they really don't exist. We feel the best inspectors have a systematic approach to their inspection, advising the buyers along the way of any issues they turn up in a calm and matter of fact manner, and then provide a full report with photos included. Of all the inspectors we have worked with, Dana is top on the list. He provides the buyers with a concise, accurate and real evaluation of any home. Most homes have some issues. It is to be expected as homes age. But not all issues are a "death nail" and most involve some deferred maintenance or needed updates. We highly recommend Dana Wilson for inspection of any type of real estate. His experience and building knowledge is second to none. read more

We were blessed to be working with Dana Wilson. He has years of experience under his belt, inspecting homes. He took us under his wing and explained to us all the things about the house, and the various aspects of the home assessment. He went through with us each appliance in the property, and each connection - electrical, gas or another type. He gave us thorough insight and rationale into the workings of a constructed home. By inspecting items, he has an eye for the life of a structure and how it would react, ie effect of water on a wooden frame. Our inspection time was at 6pm, however he came early and got everything ready so that when we got there, he could explain the condition of each part of the home. His energy, enthusiasm and knowledge is second to none. For someone who is a novice (potential buyer) at the home inspection, Dana Wilson is simply the best that you can get. read more

Dana Wilson Inspections has been amazing during our home buying experience! We feel lucky that we selected them for this important role. Matt, who was our inspector, has a great deal of experience not only as an inspector, but as a contractor previously. Our home is newly built, and Matt identified a problem that no one else had seen. He was sharp, quick, insightful, helpful, firm, and professional. And Dana was wonderful in responding to our initial questions about the inspection and some complicated features about the house. Cheryl who coordinates everyone was just the nicest person and a pleasure to deal with throughout. The whole team was beyond patient with the constantly shifting appointments times due to the changing closing date. Their fee was fair and affordable and in reach for the regular buyer. Thanks to the whole team! read more

How can I describe Dana, he is the type of home inspector that when found you will never use anyone else. He was very easy to work with and his attention to detail and piecing clues together was extraordinary when problem solving or troubleshooting any issues found. Dana was very perceptive to any and all concerns I had throughout the home inspection and continued to exchange ideas even days after the inspection. He is an expert in his field and someone I can definitely rely on their service and feel safe that I'm making the right decisions and asking the right questions. Whether it's structural, to electrical, to plumbing, to appliances, there's no doubt that the knowledge and professionalism is the upmost level. The report was very detailed and encompassed all concerns. I highly recommend their services for any of your needs. read more

Selling real estate in central Massachusetts for the past 35 years, I have encountered hundreds of home inspectors along the way. I can say, hands down, Dana and his crew are the best inspectors we have ever used! Dana's expertise, thoroughness and rational presentation of the facts about each home make his service top notch. While some inspectors seem to either go overboard on minor issues, or worse, overlook potentially expensive deficiencies, Dana and his crew follow a strict checklist to give our buyers piece of mind that there will be no surprises after they move in. We feel very confident in referring Dana Wilson Home Inspection to all of our clients, so much so that we used him when our daughter bought her home. Thanks for providing reliable expertise and insight to our clients over the years! read more

I am a billion percent satisfied with Dana Wilson Home inspection and would recommend them to anybody. First off, they were able to get me an inspection with very short notice whilst other inspectors needed about 7-10 days to have somebody. Matt (inspector) was on time and super informative. He is an expert in his field and has a great amount of experience. As a young homebuyer who didn't know exactly what to look for I appreciated his significant attention to detail and explanation of everything, especially things I may have never noticed. The inspection report was thorough and included detailed reports on what I needed to have fixed or what may need updating. The pricing was very reasonable as well. I will be using them again and definitely will suggest that my friends and family do too! read more

Dana Wilson home inspection services was a pleasure to work with from the very first phone call to the final inspection. After leaving a message on a Sunday I received a call back within a half hour which was impressive on a Sunday afternoon. My questions were answered and the company went above and beyond working with me for the only date I had available. Kevin Pond was the home inspector we worked with the day of the inspection. The moment he introduced himself until the job was complete he was professional and knowledgeable and more thorough than I could have hoped for. Buying a home can be a stressful time but everything about this company made this part of the process very easy. Thank you for your great service. We appreciate it. Amy Kelly & Paul Butler read more

Where do I begin... I am first time home buyer. And I am very ignorant about the process so going into this I was already nervous. My home inspection was done by Kevin Pond, he approached me with a smile and a handshake and advise me that he was there to work for me. He was very detailed in everything he did. He looked at every inch of the home. He answered all my questions in layman's terms and never once spoke over my head. He pointed out the good and the bad with all pertinent information that I would need. He most certainly had me and my family's best interest in mind when doing our home inspection. I can not thank him enough for his professionalism. I am more than satisfied and more than willing to recommend Kevin and Dana Wilson inspection services. read more

We were recommend Dana from our real estate agent for our new home purchase. Dana provided an exceptional level of detail, care, patience, and a desire to teach us about this particular house and what we could expect. He helped inform us of what items needed attention and gave my wife and I great confidence in understanding what we are looking at / how to potentially address. He did not rush and spent the appropriate amount of time to inspect the home and to provide me and my wife with live / detailed feedback. His staff, like Dana, are incredible personable and were very helpful and informative. My wife and I highly recommend their services to anyone in need. He provided great value to us and, as a result, we feel as prepared as possible to move in. read more

As first time home buyers my wife and I were anxious to go through our first home inspection. Dana went through the entire property with us step by step and was more than willing to explain all the details to us. We were able to learn more about the house walking through with Dana.

Called Dana Wilson Home Inspection to do an inspection for a home we are looking to purchase. My call was answered quickly, the entire process explained, and an inspection was scheduled for the next day. The inspector (Matt) was early and already at the house by the time that I arrived. He was incredibly thorough and profession in his inspection explaining everything along the way. Less than 24 hours after finishing the inspection we had a full report with detailed information and pictures of everything that was pointed out in our email. The entire experience was excellent from start to finish and well worth the price paid for the inspection. We would definitely use and recommend Dana Wilson Home Inspection again when buying a home. read more

I cannot say enough wonderful things about my experience with Dana Wilson Home Inspection. in my opinion, Dana went above and beyond a traditional home inspection. During the home inspection, he was thorough and meticulous. Being that this was my first experience with a home inspection, he explained everything as he went through the home. He made what could've been an intimidating process very enjoyable! The home report itself was extremely thorough, just as the inspection was. I felt no stones were left unturned which gave me great piece of mind. Additionally, once the report was complete, he made himself available to answer any and all of our questions, above and beyond! Wouldn't recommend anyone else for the job! read more
