A buyer in June 2026 said the inspection felt less like a checklist and more like a guided tour of the house. That is how customers keep describing Chris McNamara: he walks you through what he is seeing and why it matters, then hands over the report the same day. ALLMAC Home Inspections covers Central Massachusetts and Southern New Hampshire, doing home inspections plus radon, water and termite testing. Chris McNamara runs it and does the inspecting; his Massachusetts home inspector licence, 361-HI-1, and his New Hampshire licence, 00224, are both active on those states' registries. The company says it has been in business since 1984 and that he has more than 42 years in the work. Nick inspects alongside him on many jobs, and reviewers name Lauren and Chris's wife for the scheduling. Google shows 155 ratings averaging 4.9, and what buyers describe most is being taught. First-time buyers in May 2026 said the two of them went through everything slowly and asked for questions along the way. An April 2026 customer said they had never been so educated about homeownership. A February 2026 buyer had Chris arrive early to look at roof lines, go from foundation to roof, and deliver a report that was easy to read with clear photos. Turnaround comes up constantly: the report within hours in several 2025 accounts, appointments inside two business days. He also finds things. A March 2025 customer who hired him for a daughter's purchase said he flagged fuse box capacity, wiring issues and previously remediated termite damage in the garage as items to investigate further. A buyer's agent writing that month said he is never an alarmist and that she trusts him to look out for her clients. One review is a serious complaint, and it comes from the other side of the transaction. In March 2025 a seller wrote that the inspection itself was thorough but that when he returned home afterwards he found several areas of his house damaged. If you are the one being inspected, agree beforehand what access is needed and walk the house with the inspector at the end. For a buyer's inspection in Central Massachusetts or southern New Hampshire — especially on an older house or a first purchase — this is a strong call: licensed in both states, quick to schedule, and the report lands the same day. Confirm whether radon, water or termite testing is in your quote, since those are separate services.
Chris was very knowledgeable and thorough. He did all the work and reports in a timely manner. I highly recommend ALLMAC Home inspections.
Great work by the team at ALLMAC. Online scheduling was easy, communication was great and the inspection was professional and detailed. Don't hesitate to hire ALLMAC!
Chris and Nick both helped with our home inspection and were incredibly professional, thorough, and I couldn’t recommend any higher!
