Introduction

I always go above and beyond all Massachusetts home inspection standards. This allows me to thoroughly inspect any home from top to bottom, alleviating the chance of missing items that average home inspectors will simply disclaim. I simply enjoy inspecting homes. As a licensed professional, I have a fiduciary responsibility to all my home inspection clients and I have high regard for every last one of them. I respect the fact that they rely on me and my vast home inspection knowledge to personally assist them during their home buying process.

David Valley of Mass Home Inspections was phenomenal!!! We have had two inspections with him when trying to buy our new home. The first house would have ended up being a "money pit" and we only know that because of David! He found things behind walls, in the roof supports and interior foundation that were only caught because of his great attention to detail. This was the BEST money we spent in our home search. The second home we looked at was in much better condition, but David still left no stone unturned. He was sure to review and explain every detail and system in our house. He gave us tips and suggestions for maintenance and upkeep that a first-time home buyer wouldn't know. He inspected our home with the same care and thoroughness that he would do his own. We would definitely recommend him to our friends and family. And if/when we are in the market to buy another home ourselves, we would call him in a heartbeat.

I called Mr. Dave Valley of Mass. Home inspections based on an excellent inspection that he did on my sister's home purchased a couple of years ago. I actually accompanied my sister and Mr. Valley through her inspection. When it came time to get my own inspection I immediately asked for his number. I was not dissapointed. He was as thorough and detailed in the inspection of my potential home as he was when I was initially impressed by him. He is consistent and professional and reviews every square inch of the property. He not only does a comprehensive write up of the flaws and potential issues in the property, but also gives insight into viable repairs and remedies. It gives great peace of mind to know that the expert that is going over a potentially huge investment has the wherewithall to follow up with ideas/ solutions for what he perceives as minor issues. Mr. Valley was also very knowledgeable and was not afraid to take his time and explian the details of what he was reviewing. It is obvious that he is passionate about informing potential home buyers of the positive and negative aspects of their new home. I am in the process of purchasing a 2 family home and he reviewed each equally as if I were going to live in both myself. He gave great tips on making the property more energy efficient and suggested resources for tax credit and home energy financing through established government programs. He used technology to his advantage, but definitely retains the "old school" personal touch. I also opted for the Radon test and he patiently explained the process and how to retrieve my results online. I am entering into the next step of my investment confident that I am aware of what I am getting into. I have had two independent experiences with Mass. Home inspections. Though it would have been impossible for Mr. Valley to have remembered me from a couple of years ago, I can definitely say that his technique and professionalism have remained constant.

Earlier this month, Dave Valley performed an inspection on a property we agreed to purchase. Dave was able to book an appointment next day and arrived early for the inspection. His attention to detail is amazing. Dave walked through the property (inside and out) and noted his findings both verbally and then consolidated in a report, which I walked away with the same day. His home maintenance guide (included with the inspection report) and web site are essential resources to any homeowner. Six years ago, we purchased a townhouse (first time buyer), and we went with Mass Home Inpections for our home inspection. A few years later, we had an issue with the 20+ year old central AC unit, a motor needed to be replaced. We went to get the model/serial number off the unit, however, it was smudged out and unable to be read. When I went back to the inspection report, there it was, the model/serial number, in legible notes. We were then able to order and replace the needed part, saving us on brand new unit and extending the life of the AC unit...all because of the detail in the Mass Home Inspections report. Thanks Dave. Your work is great and helpful not only prior to a home purchase, but for years to come!

Hi David, I just wanted to thank you for all the helpful information and all the tips that you gave me while doing the house inspection. I really like the fact that you took the time and explained everything that you were doing step by step. One of the things that I really like it was that after you inspected one part of the house you went back and wrote a very detailed report about that part of the house and then you went back and inspect another part of the house. That gives you the advantage to write every little detail and I thought that was very unique. Before the inspection we were sure about buying the house but after the inspection and all the things you discover we decided not to buy the house, thanks to you we didn't buy a money pit. I'm looking forward on working with you again when we find another house. Thank you again. Carlos

We recently used MHI for our home inspection needs and were very satisfied. Dave Valley was very professional, courteous and accommodating. He was extremely thorough both outside and inside the home as well as communicative to any and all issues, major and/or minor. Moreover, he even noted things to "keep an eye on" which I found equally helpful. He answered all our questions and provided insight when necessary. In fact, Dave identified things in the house that had not been noted previously. He never pushed any additional services....he simply advocated for what he felt was necessary to assure buyers that the home was in good condition. Without any hesitation, I would use Dave Valley and MHI for any future home inspections and recommend him with the highest of regards to anyone looking to purchase/sell a home. An extremely positive experience.
