    Home Inspections
    Your house is your biggest investment. You don't want to be surprised by problems after you move in and you need the best inspection available. We can help you with that. Whether the house you're buying is big or small, 1 year old or 100, we will help you understand its condition and how the systems operate. Our goal is for you to feel confident making an informed purchase decision.

    A home inspection is a visual evaluation of the major systems in the house including roof, exterior, foundation, structure, settlement, grounds & drainage, heating & cooling, fireplaces, appliances, plumbing, electrical, kitchen & laundry, bathrooms, interior rooms, garage, attic, insulation, ventilation, basement & crawl spaces, and materials of construction. See the Inspection Process section for more information of components inspected. As long as it's safe and accessible we will walk on roofs, enter attics and crawl spaces, remove access panels and operate equipment. We will look at every room in the house using the Standards of Practice of the American Society of Home Inspectors (ASHI®) and the state of Massachusetts standards.

    The inspection will be summarized in an easy-to-read written report. See the F.A.Q. section for more information about home inspections.


    New Construction Inspections
    Think there couldn't be anything wrong with a brand new house because it's already passed a municipal inspection? Think that the builder's 'quality control' person is going to catch all the mistakes?

    More home buyers are having Midstate look a property over before they sign on the dotted line. We will look at the house from top to bottom, inside and out, inspect for quality of materials used & quality of workmanship and present the findings in a detailed report. Often, the cost of the inspection is less than the cost to repair just one item.


    Consulting & Investigations
    Unfortunately, things don't always go as planned. We provide specialized consulting services such as evaluating structural condition, documenting construction defects, identifying moisture problems, expert witness, litigation support, etc. Our findings will be presented in a well-documented report. Please call and we will be happy to discuss your situation and how we can help.
