Over 20 Years of Home Inspection Experience

Your Inspection is our priority, so let us show you what you need to know about your future home!
All Homes
John has inspected thousands of homes of all styles, ages and sizes. From a summer cottage by the shore, a high-rise condo unit in the city, a log cabin in the woods to a double-wide in a manufactured home park. He has also inspected for all types and ages of buyers looking for there own special place. From the first-timers considering their starter home, the growing family searching for a 3-4 bedroom in a child-friendly neighborhood to the seniors looking for the perfect spot to retire. We look forward to meeting and working with you. At Ocean State your inspection is our priority.
Older Homes
Given that a significant percentage of structures in New England were built in the 17th and 18th centuries, John has had the opportunity to inspect hundreds of homes from this historic period. He has developed an appreciation for their unique characteristics as well as the ability to assess and address the issues and concerns common to purchasing one.
Whether it’s post and beam framing, hand-split shake roofing, fieldstone foundation, or a massive multi-room fireplace, John has seen it and will utilize his considerable experience and insight to thoroughly assess and report on each aspect of your historic home.
