# ABBEY Inspection Services Inc. **Trade:** Home Inspection · **Address:** 313 E Riding Dr, Carlisle, MA 01741 · **Phone:** (508) 864-4924 · **Website:** http://www.abbeyhomeinspections.com/ · **Languages:** English **Rating: 3.4/5** (low confidence) — from 3 reviews across 4 sources. ## The honest read Twenty-two Google ratings, all of them five stars, for a one-inspector outfit that mostly works out of a home office on East Riding Drive in Carlisle. ABBEY Inspection Services is Albert Innamorati's company; he says he did his first inspections in 1990 after years in his family's construction business as a licensed construction supervisor and foreman, and that he has been at it for 36 years since. The work is broader than a buyer's walkthrough. The company lists phase-of-construction visits for houses still going up, pre-listing inspections for sellers, radon measurement, water quality and well-yield testing, pool inspections and infrared energy-efficiency evaluations — with a stated service area running across MetroWest towns from Acton and Concord out to Leominster, Lexington and Stow. What people who hired him write about is the man, not the equipment. A 2025 Google reviewer called him "the best home inspector that I had the pleasure to work with"; a 2022 customer said his "friendly and bright personality made our home inspection a great experience" and would recommend him. That is a thin written history for a company of this vintage — three reviews across 2022 to 2025 — but it runs one way, and its BBB page is an A+. Two things to pin down before booking. The Massachusetts home inspector licence number on the site, MASS Lic. # 421, is the company's own claim rather than something confirmed against the state board, so ask to see it, along with the ASHI membership and the radon-measurement and thermography credentials he lists. And the tenure story doesn't line up across sources: the website dates the business to 1990, while BBB records it as started in 2004 with 22 years in business — worth asking which clock he means. For a MetroWest buyer who wants one experienced inspector on the roof and in the crawlspace rather than a rotating crew — and who may also want radon or well-water testing rolled into the same visit — this is a reasonable call. Confirm the licence, the fee for your house's size and age, and how quickly the written report lands. **Strengths:** - Unbroken 5-star average — 22 Google ratings, no lower score on file - Named inspector — Albert Innamorati does the work himself - Radon and water testing — offered alongside the standard inspection - A+ BBB page — no complaints published **Concerns:** - Licence unverified — MASS Lic. # 421 is the company's own claim - Thin written record — three reviews across 2022 to 2025 - Tenure unclear — website says 1990, BBB says started 2004 **Where sources disagree:** - Tenure: the company's website says Innamorati launched the business in August 1990 and claims 36 years, while BBB records the business as started 1/1/2004 with 22 years in business. ## Claims & citations Every claim below is backed by real evidence rows — uncited claims are dropped in code before publication. - Owner-operated by Albert Innamorati, who the company says has inspected homes since 1990 _(confidence: medium)_ - [Official Website](http://www.abbeyhomeinspections.com) — “Company history (self-reported): Albert Innamorati performed his first inspections in 1990 and launched the inspection company in August 199…” - [Official Website](http://www.abbeyhomeinspections.com) — “Ownership (self-reported): Owned and operated by Albert Innamorati, an ASHI-certified home inspector” - [Better Business Bureau](https://www.bbb.org/us/ma/carlisle/profile/home-inspection/abbey-inspection-services-inc-0021-362278) — “A BBB profile for Abbey Inspection Services, Inc. of Carlisle, MA showing an A+ rating without accreditation, 22 years in business (started …” - Every Google rating on file is five stars — 22 of them _(confidence: medium)_ - [Google](https://www.google.com/maps/search/?api=1&query=ABBEY%20Inspection%20Services%20Inc.&query_place_id=ChIJMZuGXouY44kRGMZMWedWVe4) — “Google: 5★ from 22 ratings” - A 2025 Google reviewer called him the best home inspector they had worked with _(confidence: medium)_ - [Google Reviews](https://www.google.com/maps/reviews/data=!4m8!14m7!1m6!2m5!1sChdDSUhNMG9nS0VJQ0FnSUNfOG9PNXdRRRAB!2m1!1s0x0:0xee5556e7594cc618!3m1!1s2@1:CIHM0ogKEICAgIC_8oO5wQE%7C%7C?hl=en) — “5★ Reliable, knowledgeable, the best home inspector that I had the pleasure to work with.
