Wayne was so knowledgeable and helpful in allowing us to feel secure in purchasing our new home. His report was comprehensive, and he was wonderful about following up with any questions we had. Cannot recommend enough! read more

Wayne was responsive, punctual, thorough and professional. He was able to schedule the next day we called, and provided his report within 24 hours. He explained issues he found on sight to us and took time until we understood. Highly recommended! read more

We asked Wayne to do an inspection of a listing we were interested in. He is an excellent communicator, quick, efficient, and we received a great and very useful report. Wayne was available (even during the weekend) to answer questions afterwards. Highly, highly recommend Pro-Tech Consultants. read more

Working with Wayne as a home inspector was great. His home inspection was super thorough and informative. The notes that we took during our inspection have been so useful months later, and his suggestions of what other professionals we should reach out to have been spot on. My in-laws, who also were at the inspection (and who are pretty handy) still talk about how impressed they were by Wayne and our experience working with him. 10/10 would recommend, thank you Wayne!! read more

I needed a home inspection on a property I had put an accepted offer on. Wayne was the best. He felt like a father figure to me, in the way he explained any question I had on the beautiful DETAILED report for the inspection he performed. He had several great photos showing his findings He saved me from buying a house that wasn't read more

Of course these days you need to waive an inspection to have a chance at buying a home here in Boston, but for the house my wife and I just purchased we definitely wanted a 'for information purposes' inspection before we moved in, so we knew exactly what we were dealing with on Day 1. Wayne couldn't have been more helpful in reviewing our home. Incredibly thorough and paused after doing each section of the home to walk through, in detail, his major and minor findings. I'm no expert but having completed my own home renovations and additions, I know he really knows his stuff and is not one of these guys just spouting hot air. Some inspection findings may result in big costs (e.g. new roof) and he's going to be honest with you about the immediate, near-term, and long-term fixes to be aware of. Oh, and the report was equally helpful; detailed, and clear. read more

Wayne did an excellent job with my home inspection. As a first time buyer, I went in with very little knowledge and Wayne's expertise and thoroughness made me very confident that no stone was left unturned. The entire inspection process was as smooth as possible due to Wayne's professionalism. I'd recommend using Pro-Tech for any inspection needs to get quick, efficient, and knowledgeable service. read more

Wayne did home inspection for a converted condo I am purchasing. I found him through Yelp. He was extremely thorough, patient, honest, collaborative, and knowledgeable - everything you'd want from an inspector. He welcomed questions throughout the process (even dumb ones) and explained what he was doing as he was doing his inspection. He didn't rush anything or brush anything off. He provided his report the same night, and it was extremely detailed and informative, and provided a lot of insight into things that we should keep an eye on in the coming years. I 100% plan on using Wayne in the future the next time I need an inspection done. Highly recommended. read more

Wayne did a home inspection for me, and a radon test. He was extremely thorough, and took the time to look into a lot of concerns I had about the home and explain my options for repairs. He was very kind and considerate, and helped me make some sound decisions on what repairs were most important and what could be delayed. His report was also very thorough and easy to understand, and had all recommended service items clearly summarized at the end, which I found quite helpful. Lastly, he has been very responsive with any follow-up questions. I would definitely recommend Wayne for any home inspection needs. read more

Wayne did very thorough inspection on every details. He spent half of the time for important structures, such as roof, exterior, plumbing, etc. He used various tools and took many pictures. In his report, he highlighted the important issues and taught us how to shut down the water valves or electrics when there is an emergency. He also responded fast for any questions even after the inspection. We highly recommend him for home inspection. You might need to bring some snacks during the inspection because it can be more than 4 hours. read more

We are so thankful to Wayne for providing us with a thorough and informative inspection. As first-time homebuyers, we appreciated his patience, knowledge, and expertise as he took his time to explain all elements of our new home to us. Though we had to reschedule a couple of times, he was continuously flexible, kind and helpful. Highly recommend. read more

It was our pleasure working with Wayne, and we found him to be a methodical, thorough, and a very warm person. It was really meaningful to us that Wayne put in so much effort on the inspection and in coaching us about the home itself. He was prompt in all his dealings with us from the first contact to the last, and we were never kept waiting or guessing. We found his report informative  and detailed! We know that in years to come we will be going over it again (and again!) as we plan updates on the home. We also really valued his open offer to help us understand things about the house in the future as and when needed. We are first-time home buyers and needed a comforting expert voice guiding us! read more

We Hired this Wayne Robbins for our house inspection before we buy a house. He gave us all good feedback about the house which know his knowledge towards inspecting houses. Mainly he didn't even have moisture meter or thermal camera with him to check any active leaks. Soon we moved in to the house within 10 days on December 25th we found that there is a big crack in the ceiling in our kitchen and after my husband took shower in the master bathroom on top of the kitchen it started leaking water from the crack in the kitchen ceiling. We were shocked to see this immediately after moved into our new house. After 6 days of struggling with plumbers and all due to the Christmas and new year holidays no one is available to come immediately we found a plumber and paid $1000 to fix the leak(just the root cause) there is leak from back of the shower head which is internal. Now coming to the damage happened from the leak the water restoration team has come and told the leak was very old and been leaking from more than 6 months. They show us the rust on the holders of the pipe. Next they had to rip the wall of the shower head and they had to follow the mold by ripping all the bathroom floor. Now the point is we have to demolish the shower floor to see if there is any active mold and next we don't have that tiles which are 11 years old anymore and had to remove all the tiles in the bathroom. So finally after demolish everything in the bathroom which is a big hassle in the new place and tons of money for the repair and tiles, everything took us 4 months. We finished the bathroom completely last week. Last Thursday the weather went to 90F then we tried to turn on the AC and it turned on successfully but there is no cool air. We had to call the emergency because we are unable to bare the heat in the house. The AC is not working because the refrigerant is empty which caused by the leak in the condenser. which he failed to find out at the inspection. We haven't use AC till last Thursday April 13th as it's getting more hotter. The AC guy came and refilled the refrigerant and charged US $1500 just to refill and find out the leak. He told he can't fix the leak and only solution is to replace whole condenser which is another unfortunate. Total bathroom renovation costed us 22k and AC we still have not replaced the condenser yet. He just simply put a stick camera on top of our roof and told the roof is good. That's his skills. Please don't hire this person he worst of all. The other person who hired him might be lucky to be everything turned out well on their end. read more

Wayne came highly recommended to us from our real estate agent. He was easy to work with, accommodating to our schedule, and most importantly conducted an excellent inspection of our home. Wayne is detail oriented, careful, but also pragmatic. He was happy to explain everything he saw during the inspection, answered many questions during the process, and carefully documented his findings in a summary report that arrived in our inbox later that evening. His inspection report was so helpful that we still refer to it months later to refresh ourselves on maintenance requirements and to plan for future repairs/upkeep. I would highly recommend Wayne and would certainly work with him again for a home inspection! read more

Wayne inspected my house prior to purchasing it ten years ago, but I've been in touch with him several times since to ask varius question regarding what he'd told regardimg some issues and maintenance suggestions he made. The quality of his service outstanding, as is his knowledge and expertise. One notable advantage he has is that he used to work as building contractor. Those many years of experience give him experience most Home Inspectors don't have - thorough knowlege of how homes are contructed, what the look like on "the inside", and what is involved in building and maintinaing them. HIs report is exceptionally thorough, and I still refer to it to this day. My home is about an 1100 square foot cape styple home, and he still spent just over three hours inspecting it. Nothing was left uninspected, no stone left unturned. As I mentioned, I call him occasionally with a quick question on some maintenece issue, or how I should handle a certain repair. He's prompt, kind and professional in his responses. I can't imagine ever going with another inspector should I ever need one. read more

Pro-Tech Consultants is a great choice for any home or condo inspection - pre or post purchase. Wayne is very professional, thorough and a very warm person. He's also very patient. He spent several hours in our condo and is a great communicator. Not only did he point out various items that would need to be addressed as he was working, but he also took significant time to educate us on various points regarding our property, including what to prioritize first. In a challenging buyer's market, we felt a sense of comfort after getting an inspection for informational purposes. His report was also very timely and detailed, which we've already used to make some important improvements. Wayne has also kindly offered to follow up if we have further questions on our property. He provides fantastic service and I highly recommend him. read more

Wayne Robbins has inspected two homes for us, a house and a condo, and each time his report has been thorough and detailed. Not only does Wayne meticulously document everything he finds but he also gives recommendations for addressing each issue and for preventing problems going forward. He is easy to talk to, willing to answer questions, and quick to respond to emails. I highly recommend him! read more

I was actually looking for a Engineer and Pro Tech Consultants came up. So I decided to leave a review. I have used Wayne for 3 home inspections, first 2 homes I did not close on. Finally 3rd home was a success in 2018. Wayne does an amazing job, and I trust him 100%... You can tell by just speaking to him that he is well experience and has a vast knowledge of the business. I am very handy myself, I installed all new windows in my home, new doors, garage, and did my own bathrooms. The point is... even though I am handy, and waved my home inspection the 3rd time (my inspection was for informational purposes only) I still choose to use Wayne, his attention to detail is amazing! Anyways 5 stars from me!!! read more

We had a great experience working with Wayne! As a first time home buyer, Wayne took his time to walk us through his process, answer numerous questions, and diligently inspect our new home. I highly recommend Wayne to anyone looking for someone to help aid in their home buying process. read more

I found his company through Yelp. Wayne was very responsive to my initial contacts. He came out to Lynn MA to inspect a condo I am purchasing. He arrived on time. He was very thorough and pointed out things I didn't notice. His report was complete with lots of pictures and easy to understand. I felt he did a great job and would recommend him and his company to others. read more

Highly recommend Wayne! Extremely thorough and detailed. He spent more time at the house than originally planned, thoroughly going through everything inside and out. He correctly pointed out that the roof could not be as new as the owners had conveyed and was actually close to needing to be replaced. He was also very responsive when we followed up later with questions. Very helpful and clear report. read more

I used Wayne for an inspection on a home where my offer had been accepted. I called him on a Friday and he was able to come out the following Monday. He was on time, explained what his plan was, and told me to ask questions whenever I had them. I had a lot of questions and he was glad to answer them all. After 3.5-4 hours, Wayne wrapped up his inspection and said I would get the report that night. He kept his promise and that night I got a 40+ page report. Even after the report was sent, I texted Wayne further questions and he was quick to answer. I would recommend Wayne to anyone looking for a thorough and honest home inspection! 5 stars. read more

Wayne was very responsive and considerate listening to my questions about mold and mildew and even referring me to someone else when he realized that the specific thing that I needed was not something that he really did as a home inspector. this shows Wayne's honest approach to business and his true friendliness and concern for a customer's concerns and client's needs. Thank you Wayne!! I'll be calling you with any home inspection needs! read more

Wayne did a great job. Before the job: Communication was super easy. He was super responsive and thorough with all questions. Not only he patiently answered our questions, he brought up points that we didn't find in our research. He also made sure to communicate all different access needed. During the job: He showed up on time and started with a brief exterior inspection. The condo inspection was really thorough and he showed me and discussed issues as he found them patiently. He was super honest and extra cautious. He took detailed pictures and highlighted important issues to me right at the scene. I could not asked for a better service After the job: The lenghty (40 pages) report with all the pictures and detailed description of home situation was generated and provided in less than 9 hrs. The report was professionally done and extremely neat. It was easy to rwaywith just enough description and proper action items if needed. I really enjoyed just reading it. All in all, the BEST part of my home buying experience. I'd buy more houses just to have Wayne inspect them if I could. read more

As first time home buyers, we truly need hand holding through the whole process, Wayne provided that. We called quite a few inspectors when it was time to get our potential home inspected. From the very first phone call, Wayne put our minds at ease. We felt that he was not only an asset to us in this process, but also one of our strongest advocates. He has proved himself over and over again throughout this process, even offering us referrals to other specialities that we needed. You are in the best hands with him at your side - he is transparent and trustworthy. read more

Wayne is friendly, thorough, informative, and available on relatively short notice for inspections. Highly recommended!

Our son was buying a house locally and needed me to organize inspection as he lives out-of-state. I chose Pro-Tech because it's a one person firm. Wayne, who is the proprietor, was excellent in every way. We were a bit nervous about the inspection because the house was being flipped by a contractor and the original structure was built in 1820. We wanted a 2-day radon test with continuous read-outs and Wayne came separately to set that up and followed with inspection 2 days later. He was very thorough, noting many things to work out with the owner. Within 12 hours he emailed a detailed pdf with complete descriptions of findings along with pics, which was great since my son couldn't be there. I highly recommend Pro-Tech and would definitely use in future again. read more

Wayne did a phenomenal job inspecting my new home in Arlington. I learned a lot from everything he shared and value all of his recommendations both for immediate and future maintenance of the home. His inspection was very thorough as was his final report, which is extremely helpful for looking back on. In general, Wayne was a pleasure to work with and was very responsive throughout the process. I highly recommend him. read more

I'm belated in getting this review up. I purchased a 100 year old 3 family this summer and as a single female, was very concerned about what I didn't know about a multi-family of this age and that needed work. I was fortunate enough to come across Wayne at Pro-Tech and quickly hired him to do my inspection before the sale went through. I was floored by Wayne's knowledge. As someone wit a construction background, I learned so much about the home, things that needed immediate attention and things that could wait. Wayne spent so much more time than some of the national companies I have used in the past. His inspection and report was so thorough and detailed. It not only allowed me to negotiate with seller but again, pointed me in the right direction regarding what to tackle first. Wayne was so open to answering all of my questions. Such a different experience than national companies. Plus, he's is just an all around thoughtful, honest, nice guy. Would give Wayne and Pro-tech more stars if I could. Thanks, Wayne! read more

As first time homebuyers, we were very nervous about selecting a home inspector and the home inspection process in general. But, working with Wayne was amazing. He walked us through all the things that he was looking for. He complimented the things that he liked about the property and mentioned things to be aware of without completely freaking us out. We received his report the same day as the inspection. The whole experience was very professional, thorough, and educational. Thank you Wayne! read more

Wayne is competent, thorough, nice and on-time. Not much else you could ask from your home inspector. Well, almost. We knew he had a few items he doesn't cover, but we weren't aware that backyard wells, even just superficially, weren't covered in his inspections. Wayne also doesn't do much in the way of appliances and some aspects of plumbing in regards to irrigation. If you are concerned about what is covered, ask him for a detailed list before going with his services. Or thoroughly read his website. Those points aside, he thoroughly went through our house and gave a good assessment to all the major systems. He brought up the issues that i also noticed and caught a few that my several passes through the house had missed. His report is thorough and includes suggested maintenance intervals for each system and several other items which are good reference for current as well as future use. Overall, i'd say my negatives on PTC were more my own fault for not reading through his website more carefully. He is very good and very thorough. And honestly, for the systems he doesn't cover, i can hardly blame him. They are systems that are hard to accurately assess and are unpredictable in nature. So i get it. I'd recommend Wayne to a friend and if we are fortunate enough to buy more properties, i'd use his services again. read more

By the time we purchased our house last year, Wayne (owner and inspector) had inspected three different properties for us. Based on our great experience working with him, we strongly recommend Wayne for any home inspection needs! He is very professional. He provides upon initial contact, and also has posted on his website, information clearly stating what is or is not covered by his inspections. He also maintains strict objectivity and a high level of business ethics by not performing any work he may recommend be done nor does he recommend any local contractors for such a purpose. He shared his inspection process at the start of the first inspection. There is an initial walkthrough of the property, then a second, more detailed pass is performed while taking notes and photos for reference purposes. Wayne is extremely thorough and well balanced in methodology and personal demeanor. He is NOT an inspector that raises red flags unnecessarily and causes undue concern. He is also NOT an inspector who does a superficial scan, the type usually used / recommended by dubious real estate agents who just want someone to quickly move the transaction along without a hitch. During the inspection, he thoroughly points out areas that are not of immediate concern but where it is still good to keep an eye on things or take proactive steps, helping you be a good property owner by providing you maintenance tips. If anything mentioned is related to areas not normally covered in the inspection itself, he will say so but still offer useful information and recommendations. Wayne focuses on providing excellent service to his clients and doesn't allow anything to detract from attaining that goal. If any real estate agents try to pressure him to speed things up, he makes it clear that he won't rush but instead takes as much time as needed for an accurate and complete report, which we greatly appreciate. The final report is comprehensive and easy to follow. Turnaround is quick and efficient with a PDF emailed out, which also includes useful photos. Thanks a lot, Wayne! read more

We have used Wayne Robbins on two home inspections, and have been very happy with his work both times. Wayne is observant, thorough, calm, and easy going as he walks through room by room sharing everything he sees. As first time home buyers, we had a lot of questions, which he was happy to answer at a moments notice during the inspection and days/ weeks later. He is also extremely punctual with his report. I highly recommend his services to anyone who is looking to purchase a home. read more

The whole experience was wonderful from start to finish. Wayne was perfectly responsive and very flexible with us due to some issues we had scheduling due to the sellers being difficult. Wayne was very thorough and even went so far as to explain to us things in regard to maintenance that we never knew about. Would certainly recommend when you want piece of mind. read more

Stop researching home inspectors and hire Wayne. As you know, buying a house in the Boston area is stressful. Wayne has helped make the process easier by quickly responding to our calls, and providing detailed and thorough reports. We've hired Wayne 3 times and in one case he caught a major but not at all obvious water issue in the basement. He is very thorough and takes the time to explain his findings and answer our questions. His most recent inspection for us was at a 2000 sq ft house in excellent condition, and he still took 3.5 hours to do the inspection and provided a 50 page report. Highly recommend Wayne, would not buy a house without an inspection from him. read more

I don't usually post too many reviews on Yelp but Wayne did such an incredible job with my home inspection in Woburn that I had to put this out there. He is extremely thorough with his inspection and takes the time to point out and explain all the things that he sees. He was also constantly throwing out tidbits about home care in general throughout the inspection that were very helpful. Wayne definitely saved me money and headache in the future by stressing what needed to be addressed before my home purchase. I can't recommend Wayne and Pro-Tech enough. read more

Wayne was very helpful over the phone. Unfortunately, he doesn't service the area I was looking to get a home inspection in, but he was very prompt responding back. Even though we couldn't use him to inspect our home, he was more than helpful to answer questions we had about inspection. Home buying has been such a stressful process, it was just refreshing to talk to someone so friendly and helpful! read more

Great attention to details, professional, and knowledgeable inspection service! Wayne's written report is very detailed and valuable for any homeowner to understand any urgent issues, or to plan future maintenance or improvements. read more
