Advanced Building Inspectors (ABI)

Advanced Building Inspectors works out of Blue Hill Avenue in Boston, inspecting houses and commercial buildings. The company says its visual inspections are licensed and insured, and that the computer-generated report reaches you within one business day. The two customers who wrote about ABI both did so in 2021. In October 2021 a buyer described an inspection run by Ron and Herb — thorough, patient with every question, and in the reviewer's words clearly pros. A September 2021 reviewer recommended the company to first-time homebuyers in particular. On Google the company holds a 5-star average across seven ratings. Its stated reach is unusually wide for an inspection outfit: Boston and Cambridge, plus Worcester, Springfield, Lowell, New Bedford, Brockton, Quincy, Lynn, Fall River and Cape Cod. If your closing date is tight, that one-business-day report is the thing to nail down — get the turnaround in writing, ask which inspector is coming to your house, and check what the fee covers beyond the base visual inspection.
