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.

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!

Dean is a consummate professional who provided a very detailed inspection for my home. Not only did he do a tremendous job identifying issues, he educated me along the way on maintenance and upkeep items to pay attention to. I highly recommend Dean and Shoveltown Home Inspections!

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!

Dean was very focused and detailed inspecting every inch of the 3250 sq ft home my son and daughter in law were considering. He found a lot more issues that were not apparent when we first toured the home. I'm very satisfied with his inspection and will call him again.

I have used Shoveltown Town Inspections over the last 5 years and they are great. My clients had the privilege of getting the owner Dean last week and they loved the the room he gave them and the lessons on how all the systems work. These buyers are 1st time buyers so the home inspection is vastly important and Dean made the experience wonderful. He’s the best around
