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!

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%!

Each time (but the last one, obviously), we had to call them and cancel the visit. Each time they were incredibly easy to reach despite one being at 7pm and another with less than 24 hours of notice! The voices on the end of the phone each time were sweet and caring and offered just the right amount of sympathy for the lost house every time we had to cancel. Finally, we didn't have to cancel! We've had the pleasure of working with Mike and Karen, and we talked to Mark a few times. Mike and Karen did the actual review and we couldn't be happier. They were on time (though we were not...) and immediately got to work taking pictures and taking notes. We had scheduled four hours for the inspection and we used every second. They both showed kindergarten-teacher level patience with us as we followed them around and tripped over our own feet asking questions. They walked us through everything and provided context to their points to make it easy to understand. I feel like I can actually read a boiler now! They answered questions we didn't even know we had. We expected the report the next day, but it arrived at 11:01pm that night. I'm not sure if that's always the case, but our house was in great condition, so there weren't a lot of things to elaborate on, but it was still a thorough 53 pages. Having that report and knowing exactly how each aspect was examined gave us the kind of confidence that we needed to buy our first house. I really can't express how pleased we were with our treatment and you can bet that when we buy our next home, if Hawkeye Home Inspections is still around (only because we don't plan on buying another home for a while), they'll be hearing from us again!

Tracey was extremely professional, knowledgable, thorough, and total pleasure to work with. My experience was very much in line with other reviewers. All of her communication was prompt and she explained the whole process in clear terms that a lay-person could understand. Not only did I get a home inspection, but an education on how the different systems of my home work and how to properly maintain them! I didn't need to take a single note during the whole time as she assured me that all of what she was saying and recommending would be written up in the report with accompanying pictures. And it all was! She completed the report extremely quickly--even sooner than she said she would. And it was incredibly comprehensive and written and laid out in a way that is very user-friendly. I whole-heartedly recommend Litt Home Inspection! read more

Was very impressed with Tracey. We made an offer to purchase a home with an inspection contingency. The sellers accepted the offer so long as we could get an inspector in the next morning, a Saturday, so they wouldn't lose a weekend of visits. Tracey visited the next day -- with pandemic precautions -- and made a very thought, 85 page, report of everything in the house originally built in 1925. My wife and I were very impressed with the extent and details in the inspection and with the insight and advice on how to manage the things that Tracey found. The price was $720 for the inspection plus $75 for radon. I didn't shop around given the time constraints but the price seemed reasonable. There may be DIY radon solutions which folks can consider but again, didn't have time to explore. read more

Tracey is a pleasure to work with! We had 3 out of 5 offers accepted in 2020-2021 and hired her to inspect all three. She was always fast, had excellent pandemic protocols & provided a timely written reports. Her expertise provided us clear guidance on what problems existed with the homes, who to talk to with respect to getting quotes on remediation & mitigation and ultimately ensured that we bought the 'right' property that wouldn't turn into a lemon! Would definitely recommend! read more

Tracey inspected our home and was fantastic. She was thorough, knowledgeable, detail-oriented, and easy to talk to. Not only did she inspect our home, she educated us on things we should look out for over the years.
