Advanced Home Inspection wants a buyer to walk away knowing which problems are real and which can wait — one reviewer said that's exactly what they got: a rundown of actual risks, not just a list of things to worry about. David Cassavaugh, who has more than 30 years as a general contractor and master carpenter, founded the Manchester, New Hampshire company in 2009; it also offers HUD 203(k) consulting and radon, water, and septic testing across New Hampshire, Maine, and Vermont. The written reviews are dated, running from 2019 to 2021, but they describe the same kind of visit: an inspector who takes his time, explains what he's looking at, and documents findings in enough detail to make a real decision. In several 2019 reviews, buyers named inspector Mike McCarty specifically for spending time walking them through a home or condo, in one reviewer's words, 'every square inch'; a 2019 review named inspector Conner for similarly thorough, informative work. Two 2021 reviews described being repeat clients — one hired the company twice for home purchases and said the inspections helped close one deal after flagging code issues in the other. Advanced Home Inspection is a reasonable call for a pre-purchase inspection in the Manchester area, especially if you want a detailed, code-aware walkthrough rather than a quick checklist; given how dated the written reviews are, it's worth asking who would actually be doing your inspection.

Had them inspect a home we were buying - I wanted to know all the risks (not just find things to worry about, but let us know what are the real risks and what should be addressed now versus later) so we could go in with our eyes open - they were very thorough, easy to work with and had good judgment. Would recommend them to anyone
Hired them twice for inspecting homes we were considering to buy, money well spent, inspections were thorough and super detailed, highlighted many code issues in one instance and helped to close the deal in the other. Knowledgeable, personable, professional, highly recommended!
Conner was knowledgeable, professional and informative. You can tell he knows his trade well and cares for his clients. I can rely on the information he provided for us with issues or fixes needed in our new home knowing he was thorough, diligent and completely comprehensive. I will absolutely recommend him to friends and family and use his services again if I need them. The office team was equally helpful and friendly. I was calling with a question and was on the phone for 2 minutes (at most) with a fast answer and quick fix for the issue we had. Thank you so much Conner and the rest of the team at Advance Home Inspections!
We were very satisfied with the professionalism, communication and how thorough they were. Mike took his time to answer any questions we had or to explain what he was doing or what he found. I would highly recommend this Company.
Michael McCarty of Advanced Home Inspection LLC helped to confirm the home condition was at it appeared. He was thorough and documented his findings in detail allowing me to make an informed decision to proceed with the home purchase. I appreciate his professional analysis of the home and all its major systems.
