Greater Boston Home Inspections

Greater Boston Home Inspections is Jon Haywood's solo inspection business, based in Auburndale and self-reporting service across Newton, Chestnut Hill, Weston, Wellesley, Dover, Lexington, Sudbury, Needham, Natick, and Nantucket. Haywood says he founded the company after training and working for another inspection firm, and its BBB profile lists it as a sole proprietorship running since 1998. The company states it is ASHI certified and offers home inspections plus radon, lead paint, water quality, and infrared testing for buyers, sellers, brokers, and lenders. The one review on file, from 2025, describes Jon as thorough — going over the report immediately after the inspection, answering questions throughout, and handing off a consolidated list of high-priority items; the reviewer also says contractors he recommended responded quickly. Its BBB page carries an A+ grade, though BBB does not show it as accredited or list a review or complaint count on that page. There isn't much of a public track record to weigh yet — one review and a BBB listing. The ASHI certification and the specialty testing on offer are worth asking about directly, along with recent references, given how thin the online record still is.
