His attention to detail caught even the smallest of things, such as, AC filters starting to crack. He is very communicative and does a great job, would definitely recommend him to a friend! Pricing is competitive with the level of work he does too. The reports of his afterwork leave you with a good sense of what you have to fix and with what urgency once you've acquired your property. Thank you Wayne!

The report that he provided was very straightforward and the checked items are categorized into different levels according to their degree of emergency. We like the way he works with his iPad and sends us an electronic report. He is super responsive on the phone and email. His price is competitive in the market. I don't know why he does not have a decent number of reviews on Yelp, but he has a lot of great reviews on Angi.

My two young boys were at home with me while the inspection was going on and Jason was so nice, he even showed my curious little guys the super cool attic! I 100% recommend Jason hands down.

He definitely noticed things I had not, and also gave practical advice that I could use in many areas of the home. He pinpointed a couple of construction defects that will need correcting before the purchase goes through, and later the same day, he emailed a 20+ page report with photos, a detailed checklist and full descriptions of his observations. I highly recommend Ron and Close-Up Home Inspection.

Closed on my house this month and only with the help, knowledge, skill, and easy-to-understand…read morecommunication that Tom has. I had not known how important it was until Tom that having someone who was actually in the business of construction is critical for a solid inspection. I bought an old house, that's 2 units...twice the work and old houses well they have their own thing. So to compare I had one prior two unit house that was oh about 1.5 times bigger than what Tom had inspected...the previous 'inspector' took about 2 hours and left without even notifying me, made me feel like I was in the way if I dared ask a question while they tap tap tap on an iPad for my report. This previous inspector also gave a report (after inspecting another house that day?) to me that night...it was auto filled. Auto generated. Not detailed or customized to give me the in-depth I'd hope. "Could be this or could be that or could be the other thing or that other thing". Tom may give a report a bit later but it's because he actually puts his details to it. Not an auto-filled cookie-cutter report that isn't necessarily useful. And Tom spent a kindly 4 hours on my inspection! Phew! I was at least exhausted I can't imagine him. Tom was there with me from outside, to the basements (which I know so well now thanks to him), to the kitchens, bathrooms, hallways, mudrooms, bedrooms, and attics. And all nooks in-between helping me really KNOW my house. Most inspections nowadays are from hands who only type on an iPad and keyboard who took courses on 'home inspection', but I'd rather someone who's swung a hammer...and then some. He's an expert in construction, the ins and outs, inspection reports, in full detail with excellent photos, amazing communication, easy to work with... Oh and I am a first-time homebuyer, he made me feel at ease! I wish I went with him on my first house inspection (that's another chapter in the past!) He's going to be in your 'recommendation' book if you're lucky to find him and I can't imagine his level of availability in the peak season. Thanks Tom!!

I highly recommend Wachusett Home Inspection LLC and owner Mark Fratoni. We hired Mark to inspect…read moreour home, which we built nearly 20 years ago, so we could better understand how everything was holding up and identify areas that needed attention. I am very glad we made that decision. During the inspection, Mark identified a major electrical issue that could have led to a serious fire if left unaddressed. His thoroughness gave us peace of mind and likely prevented a dangerous situation. Beyond that, the inspection provided valuable insight into the overall condition of our home. It will help us prioritize upcoming maintenance and avoid unexpected major expenses. While Mark does not estimate repair costs, he shares practical guidance on the expected remaining life of key systems and components, which is incredibly helpful for planning. Mark is knowledgeable, detailed, and focused on helping homeowners make informed decisions. I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and thorough home inspection.

Starting on the exterior, Mark used binoculars and a drone to examine and photograph roofing and shingles, chimneys, exterior walls and foundation, and listed potential areas of concern to watch for future problems. Moving to the interior, Mark had us walk with him the entire time, answering all our questions and also giving us advice for a property of this age. He examined the electrical, plumbing and heating, attic, walls and ceilings, and the basement, advising us on what areas need addressing in the near future and what areas were fine for now, but that we might want to fix eventually. Mark always displayed professionalism and integrity, giving us his honest evaluation and inviting us to contact him at any point in the future for clarification or assistance. His detailed, written report with photos was delivered to us in less than 24 hours. I would highly recommend Mark for any house inspection you need and we will use his services in the future.
