Entrust Home Inspection is a one-person operation out of Raynham, run — by the company's own account — for more than 25 years by owner Scott Gallan, who does every inspection himself. He covers southeastern Massachusetts, working residential and commercial buildings, with a wood-destroying-insect inspection built into the standard visit and radon and water testing available for an extra fee. What shows up again and again in the reviews is time on-site: one buyer described a three-hour walkthrough of a single-family home from basement to attic, contrasting it with inspectors who "breeze through a home in under an hour." Others describe him taking them room by room and explaining what he found as he went, then following up with a report reviewers call detailed and well-organized — several specifically say nothing surprising turned up later that hadn't already been flagged in person. The most recent review, from this year, keeps it simple — a detailed inspection, a vets discount — but the depth is in the five years behind it: seventeen Google reviews from 2021 into 2026, every one five stars, alongside a 5-star average across 28 total ratings on the platform. Recurring beyond the thoroughness itself are easy scheduling and a fast report turnaround, several buyers (including first-time purchasers) mention both, and a handful of repeat customers say they've used him for more than one purchase and wouldn't consider anyone else. One thing worth confirming directly: the company's website lists a Massachusetts inspector license number, but that number hasn't been checked against the state registry here, so it's worth asking Scott to confirm his current license status when you book. Because it's a one-inspector shop, availability may run tighter around a fast closing than at a multi-inspector firm — reviewers don't raise this as a problem, but it's the natural tradeoff behind the unhurried, personal style they describe. For a straightforward home inspection in southeastern Massachusetts, especially a first purchase where you want someone willing to walk the whole house with you and answer every question rather than rush the visit, this is a well-documented option — just confirm the license and, on a tight timeline, his availability up front.

Great service, inspection was detailed, supports vets!
We had a great experience with Entrust! The owner, Scott, was very thorough and patient. He answered my millions of questions and was very personable and helpful. Would definitely recommend him to anyone!
Scott was extremely thorough and knowledgeable about any questions or concerns that we had during our home inspection. The report he gave us was detail-oriented and well thought out. He was a great guy to work with and I would highly recommend his services to anyone! Thanks, Scott.
Scott is extremely thorough, thoughtful, and takes time to explain everything to you. I’ve used him several times and truly believe that he’s the best in the business!
Scott was great to work with. Quick and easy scheduling for our home inspection, and was nothing but professional on the day of. There were no surprises in the report, like I’ve seen with other inspectors - anything of concern was brought to our attention while we were there, detailed possible remedies, and noted appropriately in the final report. Thorough through and through. I’ll gladly recommend Entrust to anyone!
