Customers of American Dream Home Inspections describe Richard (Shunny) Ross explaining his findings as he goes, then delivering reports they can use to understand the property. An August 2026 reviewer said he arrived early and prepared, talked them through each step, and drew on knowledge of older homes. First-time buyers writing in May said their questions received detailed explanations. The company says it serves Rhode Island and central and southeastern Massachusetts. Its website identifies Ross as an ASHI Certified Inspector and lists home and commercial inspections, along with radon testing, termite/WDO inspections and septic-flow tests. In an August 2025 review, a repeat customer described hiring Shunny for a home in Lincoln, Rhode Island, and again for a place in Westborough, Massachusetts. They praised the explanations and prompt, comprehensive reports on both occasions. Customers also describe what happens after the walkthrough. A June 2026 reviewer who had used Rich for two inspections said he covered large issues and smaller ones, answered questions patiently and produced a detailed report quickly. Another June reviewer praised the quick availability of the report. A July customer said Shunny answered questions during the inspection and later called to address follow-up inquiries. In an August 2025 review about a duplex purchase, a customer said he spent more than three hours at the property and delivered a nearly 70-page PDF covering serious fixes, loose nails and longer-term appliance maintenance. Scheduling has drawn specific praise, too. A May 2026 customer said Shunny accommodated them on short notice after another inspection company canceled two hours before their appointment. A July reviewer said they obtained an appointment quickly enough to meet an offer deadline. Customers inspecting older properties have described practical findings: in a May 2025 review, a customer with a home built in 1900 said he identified issues to consider during renovation. A repeat customer writing in April 2025 described reports ranging from a roof needing a roofer’s inspection to a spinning doorknob, and called his price fair.

Shunny showed up early and prepared. He was great at talking us through each step of the inspection in real time and providing general recommendations and noting things worth further inspection. Shunny was knowledgeable in older homes which was helpful given the age of the home being inspected.
Shunny was timely, efficient, kind and incredibly knowledgeable and thorough. As first time buyers we came in with limited knowledge, so we really have to lean on the professionals. We feel incredibly grateful and lucky to have Shunny as one of the professionals that we can turn to throughout this process. I recommend him to anyone wanting a detailed and trusted report.
Richard (Shunny) Ross is a excellent home inspector. He has inspected 2 houses for me and was very through and very informative. A very polite gentleman and quick with his report. His service was worth the money. Thank you.

Shunny was recommended to us by our realtor and we can see why! He was very thorough in his inspection, took the time to answer questions, explain things and recommend things that we can address. We were also able to call and get an appointment pretty quickly to meet our deadline for our offer. We will definitely recommend Shunny to anyone looking for inspection services in the future!
