Cape Cod Home Inspections

Cape Cod Home Inspections is a one-inspector operation out of Hyannis — the company says owner Michael P. Murphy personally walks every property himself rather than sending a team. It handles residential, condo, and commercial inspections across the Cape and into Plymouth, and folds a free termite check into every visit. The company describes itself as the Cape's original inspection service, tracing back to 1975, though it separately cites 25 years of company experience and 30-plus years of inspector experience — the exact timeline doesn't quite line up, so the decades of hands-on experience is the safer claim to hang on. On Google it holds a 4.4-star average from 14 ratings, but its handful of written reviews tell a more mixed story: overall sentiment across them sits close to neutral rather than glowing, with only two on record, spanning 2022 to 2024. Worth asking about directly: that founding-date inconsistency, and — given how few written reviews exist — a couple of recent references before booking. This fits a homeowner or buyer on the Cape who wants the same person doing the walkthrough and writing up the report, not a rotating crew. Just confirm Murphy's availability and get those references, since the online history alone is too thin to settle things either way.
