# Dumont Home Inspection Services **Trade:** Home Inspection · **Phone:** (508) 989-3489 · **Website:** http://www.dumonthomeinspections.com/ · **Languages:** English **Rating: 2.9/5** (low confidence) — from 4 reviews across 5 sources. ## The honest read Dumont Home Inspection Services is a small family inspection business working out of southeastern Massachusetts — the BBB lists it at 299 Old Stevens Rd in Swansea as an S corporation started in 2013 with one employee and Steven Dumont as president, and BuildZoom carries an address in Assonet. The company describes itself as family-run with about 30 years of combined experience, inspecting single-family homes, multi-family buildings and condos and adding pest, moisture and private-well water testing, with reports emailed within 24 hours. The feedback that exists is thin — four reviews, all from 2026 — and it splits. A repeat client said in April that they had used Steve and Jeff since 2016 across three properties in the Fall River area, one single-family and two multifamily, and that no inspection had missed anything they later found. Another April reviewer credited Steve with working out scheduling between them and the sellers and Jeff with a knowledgeable, thorough inspection, and a June reviewer called the work very thorough and worth every penny. The fourth review, also in April, is a one-star account from a buyer of a Marion Rd. property purchased in 2025. They wrote that after moving in they found a shower leaking because no caulking had been applied around the drain and faucet — which also meant repairing the ceiling below — plus an improperly installed toilet and a leaking basement heater, all repairs they paid for themselves, and said they would not use or recommend the company again. The rest of the record is administrative rather than reputational: the BBB grades the company A+ but it is not BBB accredited, and the two Rhode Island home inspector licence numbers BuildZoom lists are marked unverified with an expiration date it last saw in February 2022. With this few reviews there is not enough to call the pattern either way, so treat it as a business you vet directly: ask which inspector will do your inspection, ask for a recent sample report, and confirm the current Massachusetts (and, if the property is in Rhode Island, the Rhode Island) licence before you book. **Strengths:** - Repeat clients — one owner used them across three properties since 2016 - Multi-family experience — reviewer cites single-family and two multifamily inspections - Scheduling help — coordinated inspection access between buyer and sellers - Testing add-ons — pest, moisture and private well water testing included **Concerns:** - Missed defects — a one-star review lists leaks found after moving in - Licence currency — BuildZoom shows unverified RI licences expiring 2022 - Thin record — only four reviews exist, all from 2026 **Where sources disagree:** - The A+ BBB grade and the repeat client's account of nothing being missed sit directly against a one-star review describing several defects found immediately after closing. ## Claims & citations Every claim below is backed by real evidence rows — uncited claims are dropped in code before publication. - A family-run inspection business established in 2013, listed with the BBB at Swansea, MA under president Steven Dumont with one employee. _(confidence: high)_ - [Official Website](http://www.dumonthomeinspections.com) — “A small family home inspection business in Massachusetts, established in 2013, inspecting single-family homes, multi-family buildings and co…” - [Official Website](http://www.dumonthomeinspections.com) — “Company history (self-reported): Established in 2013; describes itself as a small family business with 30 years combined experience.” - [Better Business Bureau](https://www.bbb.org/us/ma/swansea/profile/home-inspection/dumont-home-inspection-services-inc-0021-131689) — “BBB profile for Dumont Home Inspection Services Inc. of 299 Old Stevens Rd, Swansea, MA, an S corporation started in 2013 with one employee,…” - Inspects single-family homes, multi-family buildings and condos, plus pre-sale inspections. _(confidence: high)_ - [Official Website](http://www.dumonthomeinspections.com) — “A small family home inspection business in Massachusetts, established in 2013, inspecting single-family homes, multi-family buildings and co…” - [BuildZoom](https://www.buildzoom.com/contractor/dumont-home-inspection-services-inc) — “Services offered (BuildZoom): Home inspection” - [Google Reviews](https://www.google.com/maps/reviews/data=!4m8!14m7!1m6!2m5!1sCi9DQUlRQUNvZENodHljRjlvT25weU4zSTRhbkF5T0dwT1Z6WmxlVTEzWVRGaFdtYxAB!2m1!1s0x0:0xadf04f7d2f016310!3m1!1s2@1:CAIQACodChtycF9oOnpyN3I4anAyOGpOVzZleU13YTFhWmc%7C%7C?hl=en) — “5★ I have been using Steve and Jeff since 2016.
