Evergreen Home Inspections

Evergreen Home Inspections is a one-person Haverhill practice run by an inspector named Ernie, who says he's been doing this since 1982 — 44 years of experience — and belongs to the New England Chapter of ASHI. It carries a 5-star average across 41 Google ratings. The scope covers standard home inspections plus electrical, HVAC, flood/water damage and radon testing, with free unlimited phone consultations after the report, across roughly 125 towns in northeastern Massachusetts and southern New Hampshire. Every review across the 11 on file, from 2008 through 2023, is five stars, and the same qualities keep coming up: thoroughness and a genuinely useful report. In a 2023 review, one buyer said Ernie "discovered so much information we would never have found otherwise," and that his patient answers kept a purchase from falling through. In a 2021 review, a customer described a punctual, professional inspection with a clear, detailed writeup of safety and maintenance issues they expected to keep referencing for years. A 2020 HomeAdvisor review described a similarly thorough visit — every detail explained on the spot, then a written report with photos, maintenance suggestions, and questions to raise with the sellers. There's no documented complaint in the record. For a pre-purchase inspection in the Haverhill area, this is a long-running, one-person practice with a consistent, specific track record — just note that its written reviews mostly predate 2024, so ask what's changed if the business has grown since.
