Associated Building Inspection is a one-person Foxborough shop run for more than three decades by Paul Kristenson, according to its BBB profile. The two written reviews on file, both from 2015, describe someone who takes his time on a job. One buyer said he spent over two hours checking a 600-square-foot basement apartment on a Saturday, then emailed the report and followed up with a full hardcopy binder within days. Another reviewer, also writing in 2015, called his pricing "unbelievably low" for the depth of the digital and printed reports she got, and said she'd hire him again for her next inspection. There's not a broader public record to weigh against those two accounts — no BBB rating or complaints on file, and nothing in writing more recent than 2015. Its Angi and BBB listings note it also handles commercial building inspections and real estate appraisal work alongside residential home inspections, though the reviews on hand are both about a residential job. For a buyer who wants a hands-on, unhurried inspector and doesn't mind that the paper trail is over a decade old, the two accounts here point in a good direction — worth a call to confirm current availability and pricing.
This is the second time we've hired Paul and he's great. He was so thorough with the unit, checking everything possible. He spent over 2 hours with us in a 600sqft apartment/basement, and that's with almost no issues with the unit and building. He did the inspection on a Saturday and emailed me the report on Monday which was a holiday. Then I received the hardcopy binder version on Wednesday. He really does a great job! Also note that the number and email on his website seemed to be outdated, but the info my realtor gave me worked: [email protected] and (508) 698-2557
Paul was very thorough and explained all the issues that came up. He sent us a full digital report as well as a big binder outlined with all the photos and details. He is priced unbelievably low and did an excellent job. We are definitely hiring him again for our next inspection.
