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.

I needed a home inspection in a pinch (1 week turnaround) and in a new area that I haven't lived…read morebefore. 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. 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.

Dennis Aubin came highly recommended by our realtor, and with good reason. That he came out to…read moreCenterville (mid-Cape) on a Sunday was a huge plus. He arrived early - about 15 minutes before we did - and had already noted several things on the outside of the house. From the very onset he invited us to follow him closely and to ask questions. He was thorough, efficient, and very professional while at the same time being affable and pleasant. He clearly had well-established routines as a result of years of experience, and for that reason was great fun to watch in action. He emailed a first draft of the inspection to us from his smart phone before leaving the house. The official version was emailed to us only a few hours later, including many more photos and a detailed summary of his findings. I wouldn't hesitate to refer him to anyone in eastern MA.

First, I'd like to say that Aubin is fantastic at what he does. Extremely thorough. I have used him…read moretwice but won't use his services again. While he is great and the actual job, he is horrible with getting things to you in a timely manner. I never got my report in 24 hours. It was more like 48 hours and then (both times) he sent me the report in a strange format that can't be opened unless you own the software he uses. So technically the report comes in 2 days but he is impossible to reach and both times I did not get the report (in a format like PDF that the average person's computer can open) for 3 days! And it took nearly 2/weeks to get radon results. Unlike some other inspector, he doesn't let the radon company email you. he forwards it to you. I think the problem is that he is in control of everything. He works all day but none of his secretaries have access to his files so even if they reach him to let him know that he messed up and needs to send correct report, you won't get it until @ least 11 pm. For my third inspection, I used Precision. got my report in like 10 hours. Everything was perfect. I highly recommend trying Precision instead.
