Dean was great to work with. Went through the house we purchased efficiently and was very thorough. Will recommend him to anyone looking a home inspection.

My wife and I are in the process of buying a home in Duxbury, MA, and we hired Foster from Shoveltown Home Inspections for our walkthrough. If you’re looking for a thorough home inspector on the South Shore, look no further!

Foster’s process is incredibly high-tech; he used a drone to get a clear view of our roof shingles and set up a Continuous Radon Monitor (CRM) for our peace of mind. As first-time buyers in this area, we really appreciated his deep dive into the hydro-air heating system and the 1979 gas boiler.

What set him apart was his practical advice. He didn't just list repairs; he helped us prioritize fixes, like the exterior wood trim and retaining wall hydrostatic pressure, based on how long we plan to stay in the house. He even gave us a Mass Save reminder for an energy audit.

The full inspection report was delivered in under 24 hours and was exceptionally detailed, mirroring everything he mentioned during the walk-through. 10/10 experience for anyone buying in Duxbury or Plymouth County.

Dean was great- so informative and helpful in understanding everything. As a first time home buyer I was so thankful to have such a great home inspector.

Great job on short notice!

Our inspection with Foster was extremely thorough and insightful.

Met Foster as he was using a drone to examine the roof of the property my husband and I were considering. His thoroughness, professionalism and and friendly personality impressed us. We appreciated how he gave us an education about certain elements of inspection and also the detailed report which included graphs, pictures and an itemized account of the home. We would highly recommend Foster Kelly’s inspection services.

Dean Murphy was very thorough during my buyer's home inspection--and he was able to make it out on pretty short notice. He delivered a comprehensive report within 24 hours, documenting each finding with photographs/video, a detailed explanation, and the potential consequences of leaving the issue unaddressed. As a construction professional myself, I felt confident in his assessments.

Very thorough, took time to explain everything and was easy to understand

Foster was extremely knowledgeable when it came to information regarding our home inspection. He was also so helpful in answer our questions regarding the house and the way it functions. Overall fantastic experience!
