A home inspection with CMS can include a walkthrough of what needs attention now and what can wait. An August 2026 customer described Sam explaining that distinction room by room, then producing a clear, downloadable report immediately afterward. CMS Home Inspection says it is owned and operated by Sam Bianchini and serves Rhode Island, Massachusetts, and eastern Connecticut.
The company advertises home inspections alongside pest, radon, mold, septic, sewer-scope, and well inspections. Customers describe the home inspection itself as detailed and unhurried. One reviewer writing in July 2026 said Sam spent three hours evaluating the house and offered advice that helped them avoid spending money on repairs they did not need. Another August customer said he carefully inspected the home, explained his findings, and answered all their questions. In a September 2026 r/RhodeIsland thread, a commenter said they used CMS Home Inspection for two different houses and called Sam thorough and well priced.
Reports and explanations draw specific praise. A May 2026 reviewer described photographs and three color-coded levels distinguishing general maintenance, work to address soon, and things that must be done. Another May customer said the report included photos of all areas inspected. A customer writing in April reported receiving the report the same day; a May reviewer said theirs arrived within 24 hours. Those are individual customers' experiences with turnaround.
An April 2026 customer purchasing a new build described Sam checking the interior, exterior, and appliances and finding several things needing attention. The customer said he showed them emergency shutoffs, explained the fuse box, demonstrated how to test the sump pump, and taught basic maintenance such as changing filters. Their electronic report included clearly worded findings and pictures.
Older customers also described help beyond the inspection visit. In a September 2024 review, a buyer said Sam answered questions that arose afterward and that his findings helped them negotiate money for necessary repairs. A November 2023 reviewer described a mold inspection in which Sam collected samples and explained the process and what would have concerned him.
Google lists CMS at 5 stars from 242 ratings. Its BBB page carries an A+ grade. The August 2026 customer who booked online said they could obtain a quote, view availability, schedule, and pay within minutes; when they later needed to move the appointment time, the team responded quickly and accommodated the change.
