BP Plus Home Inspection

BP Plus Home Inspection is Bruce Platine's one-man inspection practice covering Southbridge, Worcester and Charlton — the kind of inspector homeowners hire for the pre-purchase walkthrough, plus termite, radon and water-quality testing on the side. Platine grew up in the business his parents started in 1976 and has worked as a full-time home inspector since 1978; he's a full member of the American Society of Home Inspectors, and his Massachusetts home inspector license is active and verified. Twenty-five reviews are on file across Angi and HomeAdvisor, running from 2020 through early 2026 — eleven of them dated before August 2021, real accounts rather than a gap in his history. The description barely varies across that whole span: reviewers from 2022 and 2023 call him thorough, knowledgeable and quick to respond, one describing how he patiently walked them through everything he found, another — with a background in home construction himself — hiring him specifically for a termite-related structural concern. A March 2026 review calls the inspection thorough and detailed, with clear, professional communication. The one outlier worth knowing about: a December 2021 review describes a badly handled inspection, alleging Bruce missed obvious issues, got into an argument with the realtors on site, and calling the resulting report useless. It stands apart from everything else on file, which otherwise runs to five-star praise across four decades in the trade. For a straightforward home inspection in the Southbridge/Worcester area, Platine's decades of experience and near-uniform praise make him a reasonable default call — it's worth asking how he handles disagreements on-site given that one account, but nothing else on file echoes it.
