Fantastic service, the best decision I have made in 2026. I wanted to hire a local inspector who was familiar with the housing stock of the area. Foster our inspector was very knowledgeable and professional.
He took time to explain everything about the property and gave us tips on what we should do for regular maintenance.
I would highly recommend Shoveltown Home inspectors for any property inspection needs in Massachusetts.

Dean was extremely professional, polite, personable, and knowledgeable. We are extremely happy with our decision to use him for our home inspection before purchase. He arrived early and immediately began work outside (in the cold and snow), with a smile on his face and explained every detail inside and out. He let us know everything about the house, and even reassured us that he would be available to help after the purchase of the house if we had any questions or needed help. We would use him again and recommend him to anyone.

Dean is great! He snuck us in and worked with us as we were getting a snowstorm. He is thorough and experienced and an all around nice guy. He pointed out everything to my clients in an educational way, not an alarming way. He had the report to us super quickly and my clients can move forward informed! Thanks Dean!

An awesome experience. We are the first time home buyers and Dean was so thorough and detailed about every single aspect. He even explained the things that are not the part of normal home inspection. We know about the house more than what we’d have come to know in next 5 years. Highly recommended

Foster completed my condo inspection and took the time to go through the entire unit with me. He answered all my questions, gave recommendations and made sure I understood when to replace filters and get appliances serviced. As a first time buyer, I really appreciated how personable and knowledgeable he was! Would recommend to anyone

Dean was absolutely amazing! I arrived a few minutes early and he was already there. He noted that I didn’t request a radon testing and, with no pressure, shared his thoughts. This was crucial because the property’s basement came back positive for radon! Due to his actions, this was something that the builder needed to address and did. I looked up at the house he was there to inspect and a drone was coming over the roofline! He looked at the whole roof. We walked around the perimeter of the house and he pointed out areas that were a concern and also areas that I should be aware of such as the grade of the land. Going inside he inspected absolutely everything! He tested every electrical outlet, window, and source of water including timing how long the water took to get hot. He showed me how the windows worked for cleaning which was importantly for me. He went into every area of the house including the attic. He also explained how I could keep systems functioning well and long into the future. I can’t begin to share the report that was emailed to me within 24 hours. It was the most comprehensive report I have ever seen including photographs of concerns. Thanks to Dean, even as a brand new home, the areas that had to be addressed prior to purchase were and I am moving in feeling safer and protected. Thank you!

Hire Dean. stop your search for any other inspectors. He was extremely thorough and truly knowledgeable about every aspect of the home inspection process. He took the time to explain everything clearly and was also a very kind, professional person to work with. His availability was excellent, and he was able to come out on just one day’s notice, which made the process even smoother.

We had Foster out to perform a home inspection and was pleased to see his approach and thoroughness. From a drone to inspect the roof and chimney to testing circuits in the attic I couldn't have been happier. He sent the report early the next morning, plenty of pictures and detailed explanations as to what his findings where. I would highly recommend Shoveltown Home Inspection to anyone looking for their type of services.

Foster is extremely thorough, informative, and personable. I appreciated how detailed he was and how he could relay that back to me. He ensured I not only knew of issues, but he also equipped me with everything I would need to monitoring proactively. Would recommend him without a second thought.

We hired Shoveltown Home Inspections to evaluate a home we have contracted to buy. I was initially impressed that out of the 8 companies recommended by our Realtor, they were the only one to list the owners cell phone number. Our appointment needed to be changed due to my error and Dean (the owner) called me right away. He rearranged his schedule so he could do our inspection the very next day. After he extensively went through the house, Dean took me with him as he meticulously reported his findings. The emailed report that I received shortly thereafter was very impressive. All areas of concern that we had talked about were listed with photos of each and how to remedy each situation if we chose to do so. We also chose a Radon test which used the latest technology and we received a report with specific results. Dean has been highly professional, very friendly, and tremendously knowledgeable during the entire process. I highly recommend Shoveltown Home Inspections. Very Impressive!
