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%!

He…read morearrived right on time, let me know what to expect during the inspection, and was very knowledgeable and patient with me as I asked plenty of questions. The inspection was very thorough, and Tod took his time to ensure he didn't miss anything that could cause issues down the road. The resulting report was delivered in less than 24 hours after the inspection, and Tod prioritized the issues based on criticality/safety so it was clear which repairs needed to be done promptly and which ones could wait. I highly recommend Tod and his company for your inspection needs and will be using their services again in the future.

I cannot thank MKC Associates--and specifically Tom Berthiaume--enough for the extraordinarily…read morethorough home inspection they conducted on a condo I intended to purchase. Their work quite literally saved me from making a huge mistake. The unit, located in a high‑end Boston property, turned out to be severely neglected and in need of major repairs. Without MKC's thoroughness, I might have ended up purchasing a property requiring immediate and expensive major electrical, plumbing, appliance, and fixture (windows and doors) repairs. Tom arrived early for the appointment, which took place over Labor Day weekend. That level of dedication matters, and I greatly appreciated being able to secure an expert inspection so quickly (literally a few days). The review lasted about 1.5 hours and covered not only the unit's interior but also the building's common areas, the roof, and the exterior envelope. I learned a lot--not just about the unit and its owner, but also about the HOA and the building's overall condition. The report was available the next day, both online as an interactive document and as a downloadable PDF. It was exceptionally detailed, well‑organized, and easy to navigate. MKC posts sample reports on their website, and I can confirm the real report you receive is just as comprehensive and descriptive as the examples. The photos show the actual appliances, fixtures, and features in the property, which makes reviewing deficiencies straightforward. MKC also provides helpful YouTube videos explaining how to access and interpret the report, including a powerful feature that allows buyers to communicate deficiencies and estimated repair or replacement costs directly to sellers. This tool is invaluable for anyone negotiating repairs or credits. The inspection cost--$860.25 in my case--was worth every penny. The unit I was considering would have required major expenditures to make it livable, and MKC's work prevented me from walking into a financial disaster. In summary, MKC is the real deal. Whether you're purchasing a condo or a single‑family home, I strongly encourage you to hire MKC for your inspection. You will not regret it.

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!

No Mr. Occhino, I am neither a real estate agent nor a person who is angry that your inspection…read moreturned up problems in their home. A disgruntled person who lost money due to one of your reports would be a convenient explanation for my review of you. That is not the case here. I wrote my review as a public service to others. By the way, if this negative review of you should be ignored because the person writing it is not a verifiable client of yours, who is to say the people with names like Regular J. and Mh M were your actual clients writing honest reviews? One reviewer said you gave them names of contractors to contact which seems unethical if you are the one telling them they need to fix something. It is obvious from your response you were not an English teacher. Your "poor me" tirade is littered with misspellings and run-on sentences. Also, it is "due diligence," not "due-diligent" and the phrase is not hyphenated. Since you are so fond of seminars, perhaps you should take a couple on grammar and punctuation so the reports you generate will be readable. There are no nefarious reasons for the review I gave and your attempt to try to tie it to phantom people out there who lost money and have an axe to grind is laughable. If you feel I was wrong in the way I evaluated your lack of skills, you were certainly free to correct the record with your response. You did not even attempt to refute what I said about your paper thin credentials. Instead, you rambled on about people's rights and then you just reiterated what I had said about the importance of hiring a qualified inspector when purchasing a house. Being a licensed inspector does not automatically make you a qualified inspector. There is a very distinct difference. There are many good inspectors out there that know their stuff. You are just not one of them. You obtained a license to be an inspector by listening to online seminars and it is really a shame that both the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and the State of Rhode Island set such a low bar for issuing home inspector licenses to people like you. It allows you and others to hold yourselves out to the public as experts, qualified to render opinions about all the important systems of a home. You just do not have the kind of experience you should have under your belt to be giving people such vital advice. You might be a very convincing and affable person but you are essentially a hack. When people hire a home inspector before making a home purchase, they should be getting opinions from real professionals who have a history in the building industry. They should not be getting half baked advice from a former math teacher who may have tinkered around his own house for years applying band aids to his pipes and electrical wires and who now thinks he's an expert. Simply put, you should be required to have years of experience in the building industry before you are issued a building inspector's license. It would be prudent for MA and RI to beef up their requirements for home inspectors so people like Mr. Occhino are not allowed to take a couple of online seminars, pass a test, pay a fee, put up a fancy website touting their skills, and hold themselves out to the public as experts in everything from building integrity to plumbing and electrical wiring when they have never worked in that field. They also get to charge exorbitant fees that are not commensurate with their knowledge. In this case, you certainly do not get what you pay for. Anyone who thinks an online seminar can replace years of hands-on experience in the building industry is a fool. Mr. Occhino's decades spent in the high school math department falls far short of the requirements needed for professions like pipe engineer, master builders, electricians, and plumbers. Even general construction workers most likely have more knowledge than Guy Occhino because they are actually building the houses Occhino is supposedly qualified to inspect. Anyone deciding to buy a house or to not buy a house based on Mr. Occhino's advice should think twice. Or better yet, just hire a home inspector with the right credentials to truly inspect and evaluate your property. You are not going to class to listen to a former high school teacher educating you about a thermostat, you are buying a house. Dispense with Mr. Occhino's 4 or 5 hours of fluff and nonsense and hire an inspector who can determine whether or not the house you are about to buy is a sound investment.

Bob Clarke (REC Consultants) was a horrible home inspector, plain and simple. I was deceived by…read morethe Yelp reviews, which were the reason that I initially chose him for my home inspection. I regret the decision because it ended up costing me more in repairs than I could have anticipated. Why was Bob such a waste of money? Let me explain. 1. He misses BIG problems. There was a hole in the roof of the home we bought. Bob failed to notice it. The roofer who went to fix it showed me a picture. It was so obvious that I think a 5 year old child would have seen it. Of course, Bob was not liable for this issue, and so it was an added expense for me to fix after Bob claimed that the roof was in excellent shape. 2. When you ask him any question about the home inspection, he will embarrass you when you are asking the question. For example, I asked him about the heat pump system. I did not understand it (I am a first time home buyer), and instead of patiently explaining how it works and how it might break, he laughed that I would consider buying a house without knowing what it was... and then didn't say anything else. 3. Heaven forbid that you notice Bob missed something. Like, say, whether or not the dishwasher works. And if you happen to tell him after he has left the kitchen area, he will act like he was planning on walking back to the kitchen, and tell you "not to do [his] job." Sorry Bob, but I kind of assumed you were done with the kitchen once you turned off the light and walked into the bedroom. 4. His reports all seem to suggest that he spends 2+ hours on a condo, and 3.5+ hours on a home. However, the reality is that about 30 minutes of that time is actually spent chatting with the seller's agent. It's like he was trying to drum up business. During our inspection, he literally talked to the agent about his experience as a home inspector and how his past clients all liked him. Umm, sorry Bob, but I'm the one paying for you for your time, not the seller's agent. Please do not make the same mistake that I did by having REC Consultants come inspect the house. Oh, and you'll soon figure out that REC Consultants is not some large company with multiple inspectors. It's just 1 guy Robert E. Clarke (aka Bob Clarke).

Bob is fantastic! I would give 10 stars if I could…read more I chose Bob based on his amazing Yelp reviews, and was not let down. My husband and I are first time home buyers, so were new to the process. I found it easy to book an appointment, and Bob also had one of the lowest rates in Boston. Bob arrived early, and was incredibly thorough throughout the inspection. He was honest and informative, and happy to answer any questions we had. The seller's agent kept trying to make the usual BS excuses about the various issues, but this didn't phase Bob, and he continued to point problems out left and right. He spent at least an hour in the basement (probably more) and uncovered multiple issues, which really helped my husband and I make an informed choice about deciding not to go through with the purchase. As other reviewers mentioned, his advice felt fatherly, and we really felt he was looking out for our best interest. One last bonus star for Bob: as a woman in her early 30s, Bob was incredibly respectful towards me; he looked me in the eye, spoke directly to me, and included me in all the discussions. Often in situations pertaining to power tools, cars, plumbing, etc, men will often only talk to other men (ie my husband and my dad, in this situation) and ignore the women, so I really appreciated that Bob took me seriously.
