ABC Home Inspection, Inc. works out of Wingate Street in Haverhill, Massachusetts and says it has been inspecting homes since 1984, with more than 350,000 inspections across Massachusetts and New Hampshire to its name. Alongside the inspections it sells radon, water-quality, termite/WDI and mold testing, and it runs continuing-education classes for inspectors and real estate agents - a second business line that shows up throughout its public record. Buyers who hired it for an inspection describe unusually detailed work. A 2025 reviewer said the report ran over 100 pages with photographs of every finding across a 3,000-plus square-foot house; another that same year credited the inspector with catching a money pit before they bought. Two inspectors, Andy and John, are named again and again for being patient, thorough and willing to explain what they found, and one 2025 buyer said the office set up an inspection very quickly after their offer was accepted. Read the star average with one thing in mind: a good share of the five-star reviews on file are from students, not homeowners. Reviewers in 2022 and 2024 are praising ABC's real estate and home-inspector courses and its certificate handling, not an inspection of their house, so the headline score blends two different customer bases. The one critical account in the record is old but pointed. In September 2012 a poster on r/newhampshire told others to stay away, saying the company cranks out trainees and licensees, that a friend ended up with a lemon of a house because the important things were not looked at, and that he paid extra for a termite inspection and still had termites. Nothing since then repeats that complaint, and the reviews from 2021 onward are uniformly positive - but it is worth asking directly who will actually be doing your inspection and how much experience that person has, and, if you are buying a wood-frame house, what the termite/WDI inspection does and does not cover. The licence and credential list here - home inspector licences in New Hampshire and Massachusetts, construction supervisor, exterminator and instructor credentials - comes from the company's own website and has not been checked against a state registry for this profile, so treat it as its own claim. The Better Business Bureau grades the business A+ while listing it as not BBB accredited.
“I can tell you to stay away from ABC home inspections. They just crank out trainees/licensees and do a shit job. My buddy got a lemon of a house because they didn't look at any of the important stuff. To top it off, he paid extra for a termite inspection and has termites.”
Exceptionally detailed home inspection and thorough report with all the details. Would highly recommend.
I recently had my investment property in Boston inspected through ABC Home Inspection. Andy was friendly, thorough, and very knowledgeable. I would definitely use their services again!
We had just gotten an offer accepted on our house and they were able to set up an inspection very quick. John came out and was the best!! Very thorough and kind, helped give us peace of mind in the craziness that is buying a home! Thank you, we will be back if we ever need another inspection.
We had a tremendous experience using ABC for our home inspection. John came out and was clearly focused on ensuring that we knew as much as possible about the house; he was patient, knowledgeable, thorough, and most importantly, made it clear that he was there to make sure that we didn't regret our purchase if we chose to proceed. If you are looking for a diligent and experienced home inspector with your best interests in mind, look no further!
Andy did an incredible job inspecting our home, which we had to schedule after closing. The report he provided was incredibly detailed, over 100 pages, and included pictures and all his findings. He was incredibly diligent and inspected literally every corner of our 3,000sqft+ house. ABC is one of the good ones for sure.
