Aventine Home Inspections LLC

Aventine Home Inspections LLC is an Upton, Massachusetts home inspection company led by inspector Nick Tolman, which the business describes as family-owned. Alongside standard buyer and seller inspections it offers radon testing, water quality and flow testing, pest and wood-destroying-organism inspections, infrared imaging and concrete foundation core sampling for homes affected by pyrrhotite — the mineral behind the crumbling-foundation problem in central and northeastern Massachusetts. Those are the company's own descriptions of what it sells. The one independent account on file is a 2022 r/WorcesterMA commenter who had used Nick Tolman for two inspections. They described him as extremely thorough, said he explained what he was doing and looking for as he went rather than saving it for the report, and that the written report followed within hours. They put the price at $400 for a home under 2,000 square feet at that time. That is a single voice, so treat it as a starting point rather than a track record. The site states the business is fully licensed and insured in Massachusetts but publishes no licence number, and the state registry check did not complete on this scan — so ask for the licence number and confirm it with the Massachusetts Board of Registration of Home Inspectors, and ask what a comparable inspection costs now.
