America's Best Choice Home Inspections, LLC

Forty-seven Google ratings, a 5-star average, and one person at the center of them: Marc Parella, who owns America's Best Choice and shows up to the house himself. The company's site describes a family-owned, licensed inspection business based in Wakefield that works for buyers across Massachusetts, New Hampshire and Maine, and says it has been providing service since 1994. What buyers describe is a teaching walkthrough. A May 2026 customer said he took the time to walk them through everything in a way that was easy to understand, and that the report came back clear and detailed, with photos and practical recommendations. A June 2026 first-time buyer who called the whole thing scary going in wrote that Marc made it comfortable and gladly answered question after question; another pair of first-time buyers in May 2026 said he walked them through his observations and left them an inspection document to reference later. The pace is part of it. In a May 2023 review a homeowner said he spent more than two hours going through every nook and cranny of the house, and an October 2022 reviewer wrote that he had inspected their Jamaica Plain home 5.5 years earlier and was back for the one they were buying, sorting his advice into safety, preventive and cosmetic issues. Paperwork moves faster than that: a November 2025 customer booked a few days out and had the written inspection, pictures included, the next day. People come back and send others. A January 2026 reviewer was on a second property purchase with him and mentioned the quick turnaround again, and a realtor writing that same month said they recommend Marc to all their buyers and that he educates first-time buyers and seasoned homeowners alike. Older housing stock is familiar ground too — an April 2026 buyer of an old house said the inspection was thorough and that Marc knew older homes. Two things to settle when you book. The stated service area runs from Massachusetts into New Hampshire and Maine, so confirm your town is covered and what that means for the schedule; and agree when the written report will land, since the timing is half of what an inspection buys you. For a first-time buyer who wants the house explained out loud rather than handed over as a file, this is a straightforward call. Lock in the inspection date and the report date when you book, and mention the age of the house up front.
