ABC Home Inspection, Inc.

ABC Home Inspection is a Haverhill company that says it's been doing this since 1984, and the reviews on file back up a long-running, dual-track operation: home inspections for MA and NH buyers, and continuing-education courses that train other home inspectors and real estate agents. The company says it has performed more than 350,000 inspections across both states. On the inspection side, the reviews single out two inspectors by name — Andy and John — for the kind of thoroughness that goes well beyond a checklist. One buyer described a 100-plus-page report covering every corner of a 3,000-square-foot house; another said Andy's inspection "saved us from a massive money pit," catching something serious before closing. A different reviewer, inspecting a Boston investment property, called Andy friendly and knowledgeable and said they'd use the company again. The teaching side gets its own thread of praise. One student called Andy the most interesting instructor they'd had in 14 years of real estate continuing education; another said the classroom hours flew by thanks to insider tips and stories. When one former student lost certificates from courses taken over a year earlier, a single email got them all reissued within a day. The website lists an unusually long roster of self-reported licenses and certifications — home inspector, construction supervisor, heating technician, exterminator, real estate agent and instructor credentials among them — worth confirming directly, since none of these appear independently verified here. The BBB gives the company an A+ rating, though its own listing notes it isn't a BBB-accredited business. Worth calling for an MA or NH home inspection where a genuinely detailed, documented report matters — and worth knowing about separately if you're a real estate agent or aspiring inspector looking for continuing-education classes.
