Above and Beyond Home Inspections is a home inspection business in Salem, MA. Its website describes it as owner-operated by Scott Vesey, a solo home inspector offering residential and specialty property home inspections across Essex, Middlesex and Suffolk counties, and reports 16 years in business. Its BBB profile lists Scott A. Vesey as sole proprietor, with the business started 5/1/2009. The website names Beverly, Danvers, Lynn, Marblehead, Peabody, Salem and Swampscott as its service area. It lists inspections on foreclosed properties, short sale transactions, multi-family and single-family homes, new and antique homes, condominiums, town houses, duplexes, manufactured homes and modular homes. In an April 2023 Google review, Scott responded very quickly and the home inspection was done within two days of contacting him. That 2023 review says he spent significant time evaluating the property, took detailed notes and photographs of all the findings, and took time to explain the issues, the source of the problems and potential corrective measures, with the report received the next day. A November 2021 Google review called Scott incredibly responsive, informative, professional and friendly.
We were fortunate to use Strout Inspections for a walk through pre-purchase inspection this past Sunday morning. My work schedule limited my availability so they suggested the next Sunday morning. Our inspector arrived before we did and was able to begin the outside inspection in advance. He was meticulous in his observations and provided context for everything he found. The home we are buying is over 100 years old so the attention to detail and context was necessary and appreciated. I recommend Strout Inspections.
Such a great experience with Above and Beyond Home Inspections. Scott responded very quickly and my home inspection was done within two days of contacting him. He spent significant time evaluating the property and taking detailed notes and photographs of all the findings. He took time to explain the issues, the source of the problems and potential corrective measures. The inspection report was received the next day and was very detailed and comprehensive. I highly recommend this company, and was very pleased with the results!
Scott was incredibly responsive, informative, professional, and friendly. I definitely recommend working with him!
Did not fully inspect attic. $2400 in dropping and rodent removal was needed first month in new home. Did not fully inspect water filtration system. New tank was needed, $2700 during second week in new home. Reached out after inspection for referrals and never received an call back. They were professional and on time. They provided a good and thorough report but we later found these two major items that should have been seen.
It was very easy to work with Mike Strout. He arrived in time and thoroughly inspected the condo. After inspection he showed all the small and big issues and made good recommendations. His inspection report was detailed and clear. Mike is professional and friendly, I would highly recommend him. Denis
