Elden Home Inspection is Dave Elden's owner-operated business in Concord, Massachusetts, offering buyer and new-construction inspections with same-day photo reports. David J Elden's Massachusetts home inspector licence (981-HI-1) is active. Google shows 4.6 stars from 22 ratings, and the BBB rates it A+. A June 2024 customer described an emailed report that was well organized and easy to read, with images of problem spots, and a February 2023 customer mentioned marked-up photos of everything that needed attention. In a July 2024 review, a first-time buyer said he pointed out multiple areas not up to code on a new construction. An August 2026 customer said he walked them through the house and prioritized the most important repairs, and a May 2022 buyer said he answered a question quickly several months after closing. In a December 2024 one-star review, a buyer said he did not test for or mention radon and they were left paying for remediation, and that he was rude to someone on a personal call during the inspection. In an April 2026 one-star review, a customer who had a rental property inspected said David was on his phone the whole time and missed major issues that turned out to be costly.
Delight to work with and walked me through the house and prioritized the most important repairs.
Dave did a fantastic job with the home inspection. He was very thorough and knowledgeable and made practical recommendations. He is very professional and I highly recommend him!

We had a wonderful experience with Dave. Great inspection, great report!
Dave was a joy to work with. He's extremely knowledgeable about diverse aspects of a home-- electrical, plumbing, foundation/structural components, siding/trim, evidence of pests, possible drainage issues...the list goes on and on. He has remarkable attention to detail, and maybe most importantly he is patient and an excellent communicator. Will definitely recommend him to friends/anyone I know who needs a home inspection in the area.
