Foster was amazing and able to help us with our inspection on our future 1920s coastal home, he was very thorough, knowledgeable and able to tell us what to prioritize for repairs and how to ensure our home would remain safe from water damage and pests for years to come.

Carlos Moreno inspected a home that I am planning to purchase, and I was very impressed with his service. Carlos was professional, punctual, and extremely thorough throughout the entire inspection process.
He carefully examined every part of the property and clearly explained his findings in a way that was easy to understand. He took the time to answer all of my questions and provided valuable insights about both immediate concerns and potential future maintenance needs.
The inspection report was detailed, well-organized, and delivered promptly. Thanks to Carlos's expertise and attention to detail, I feel much more confident and informed about my home-buying decision.

I highly recommend Dean. He was super thorough and really knew his stuff. He was fully booked and squeezed us in because we really wanted to work with him after reading his reviews. He showed up early and inspected the outside of the house with his drone. The inspection report was very detailed and included pictures for visual purposes. We feel at ease going into a new home with the proper knowledge needed to move forward. Thank you Dean!

We needed an inspection for a very old home. Shoveltown produced an extremely thorough report, utilizing a drone to see the chimneys and other technologies to check for water damage. Dean's report was extensive and he spotted a potential issue that other less experienced inspectors might have missed that has the potential to cost us hundreds of thousands to mitigate.

If you have an old and/or antique home, I recommend Shoveltown. They did a great job working with our schedule to book the inspection and offered a great referral for a lead inspector. He was also very communicative through the whole process. Thank you, Dean!

We needed an inspection for a very old home in Plainville with an ADU on the property and a two car garage. Shoveltown produced an extremely thorough report, utilizing a drone to see the chimneys and other technologies to check for water damage. Dean's report was extensive and he spotted a potential issue that other less experienced inspectors might have missed that has the potential to cost us hundreds of thousands to mitigate.

Great experience working with them. They were thorough and communicative. Ensured that we knew and understood everything they observed/found and gave us their honest take on the level of seriousness of the issue. Also helped us understand all of the appliances, systems and switches. Their expertise on Hingham homes and buildings in general was clear- would recommend!
