Central Mass Home Inspection Services, LLC

Central Mass Home Inspection Services is a family-owned business in Shrewsbury that says it's been doing this since 2004, run by Dan L. Google shows 4.8 stars from 21 ratings, though only eight written reviews exist yet — all five stars, all describing the same inspector doing careful, hands-on work. The pattern across them: Dan gets into the parts of a house other inspectors skip. In a 2024 review, one buyer noted he was in crawl spaces they wouldn't have gone near themselves; in another 2024 review, a buyer described him investigating a small issue further and turning up something bigger, which saved them an expensive repair down the line. Reviewers also mention him narrating as he goes rather than just writing things up afterward — one described him showing exactly what he was seeing rather than just describing it. A local realtor who has used him for multiple client inspections calls him consistently early to the job and thorough — the kind of repeat professional referral that's harder to fake than a one-off review. There's nothing negative to report here, though the sample is still small enough that a few more reviews would tell a fuller story. The company also lists radon, water quality, and wood-destroying-insect (termite) inspections as add-ons to the standard home inspection, per its own site.
