Home & Hearth Inspection Services

Home & Hearth Inspection Services is a husband-and-wife operation in Bridgewater, run by John and Claire Harrington, who say they've spent over a decade and thousands of inspections building the business across Central and Eastern Massachusetts, Cape Cod and Rhode Island. Both are InterNACHI-certified. The reviews on file back up the pitch. In a 2024 review, a customer credited the pair's status as founding partners for a genuinely comprehensive inspection rather than the luck-of-the-draw experience of a random hired inspector, and a 2023 review described them as analytical and detail-oriented, taking time to walk clients through both the positives and negatives of what they found. A more recent review from May 2026 highlights the paperwork -- a PDF laying out exactly what needs repair, with photos attached. The written record is short, just three reviews since 2023, all five stars, though Google's overall rating sits a bit lower at 4.4 across 14 total ratings -- worth keeping in mind that not every rating on the platform has a story behind it here. Beyond the core inspection, the company also offers radon, well flow, and water quality testing. There isn't much else to flag before booking; given it's a two-person shop, it's worth confirming scheduling lead time.
