Cape Cod Home Inspections is a Hyannis-based, owner-operated business run by Michael P. Murphy, who says he personally inspects every property himself and serves most of the mid-Cape towns. The company's own site makes several different claims about how long it's been around — "since 1975," elsewhere "25 years of company experience," and separately "30+ years of inspector experience" — so the exact history isn't consistent even in what it says about itself. The written record is thin and split. A 2024 review describes Mike as thorough, honest, and an advocate for the buyer, turning the inspection into a learning experience with a clear breakdown of immediate versus long-term needs. A 2022 review, by contrast, reports a no-show with no follow-up call. With only two reviews on file and one describing a missed appointment, it's worth confirming directly that a scheduled inspection is firmly on the calendar before relying on it.
Highly reccommend. Mike was fantastic and everything you would want in your home inspection. He is extremely thorough, honest, and knowledable. It is evident that Mike takes pride in being an advocate for the buyer, turning his service into a learning experience as well. His comments helped create lists of immediate vs long term needs. If you want to truly learn about your property, call Mike. We're so happy we did.
No Show. No call back. I hope he is ok.
