Cornerstone Home Inspection says it provides home inspections, with optional radon testing and wood-destroying pest inspections, in southeastern Massachusetts and Rhode Island. The company says owner-operator Chip Grassie conducts all inspections personally, and it claims 25 years in business. A 2023 Google customer called Chip thorough and knowledgeable and said he answered all of their questions and addressed all of their concerns. A 2024 Google customer said their basement flooded in multiple spots, with gaping holes that were not pointed out in the inspection, and that mold issues were not mentioned. That customer warned against trusting an inspector a realtor sets up. In a 2024 post on r/RhodeIsland, the writer said they were leaning towards Chip with Cornerstone Home inspections.
