Blue Owl Home Inspection describes itself as a one-inspector home inspection business serving Eastern and Central Massachusetts, offering buyer's inspections plus radon, mold and wood-destroying-insect testing with same-day digital reports. Its website names Ray Phillips as the owner and inspector and lists an InterNACHI affiliation. A recent customer buying a house built in 1915 said Ray explained everything clearly and delivered a detailed report. In a recent review, a customer said Ray found a list of issues to take care of and that his report was of great help. In a 2025 review, a customer said Ray did a purchase inspection and mold testing, with reports received the same day as the inspection and the mold report back within a day. A 2025 reviewer with a historic home said Ray explained how to make small fixes themselves and shared a list of vendors such as plumbers, electricians and HVAC. A 2024 customer who used him on a new build said that two months after the inspection Ray answered a question about their HVAC system. In a 2022 review, a customer said that, for a nominal fee, Ray came back a second time to inspect an attic that was inaccessible on the planned inspection day. A 2022 customer said he came on a weekend for a radon inspection booked on short notice. A 2025 customer said the inspection was not thorough and took double the time of the usual inspector, that cracks in the garage foundation went unnoted and that mold behind a freezer was not found. A 2023 Angi customer said their radon meter was left at the home for 4 days.
Great service, Ray was very professional and helpful during the inspection.
We had a fantastic experience working with Ray from Blue Owl Home Inspection for our recent home purchase. Since we were buying an old house built in 1915, we were initially very nervous. However, Ray’s incredible patience, meticulous attention to detail, and willingness to answer all of our endless questions completely put us at ease and gave us the confidence to move forward with our final buying decision. He took the time to explain everything clearly and delivered an exceptionally detailed report that has been an amazing resource for us. I highly recommend Ray and Blue Owl to everyone I know, if you need a top-notch home inspector, look no further!
Ray did a great job doing a home inspection to my house. He found a list of issues that I need to take care of. Also he inspected some things that were not part of the roof. The report he made is of great help. Highly experienced and professional. Highly recommend it for the Framingham area and beyond. Thank you!
Ray was wonderful. He did an incredibly detailed, thorough job that I feel very confident in. I feel as though I know my new home inside and out which is a great feeling. He took is time to inspect and explain even the smallest of details.
I am a real estate agent, and I have relied on Ray and Blue Owl for many years. He provides a great inspection for my clients, with a very detailed analysis of house issues, clearly explaining to my clients what should be done in their new homes. He is helpful, supportive, and a pleasure to work with. I highly recommend Ray for all home inspections.
