# Home Inspection Associates

**Trade:** Home Inspection · **Address:** 105 Haverhill St, Methuen, MA 01844, USA · **Phone:** (978) 689-8424 · **Website:** http://homeinspectionassoc.com/ · **Languages:** English

**Rating: 3.6/5** (low confidence) — from 2 reviews across 5 sources. A 0–5 star rating built from what customers and the public say (every review and mention weighted by where it was posted, how old, how detailed and how credible it is, shrunk toward a 3.5★ baseline when evidence is thin) plus what the record shows (Reddit recommendations or warnings, a registry-verified licence, how recently they were reviewed, customer work photos, BBB grade, negative news, a revoked licence). Positive record counts only as far as the reviews have earned it; penalties count in full. Confidence describes how much weighted evidence stands behind the number, never the number itself: low when fewer than about five normal reviews' worth of weight (or mentions only) support it, medium up to about twenty, high beyond that across at least two sources. An operator flag for a suspicious review pattern caps a rating at 3.5★ and marks it low.

## The honest read

Home Inspection Associates is a family business out of Methuen that traces back to 1960, when Donald George and Samuel Maloof started it as one of the first home inspection companies in New England. It's still run by their descendants today — Mark George, Chris George, Greg Maloof and Chris Maloof are all listed as current family members in the business.

The two written reviews on file, from 2023 and 2025, both describe the same thing: an inspector who treats the walkthrough as a chance to teach, not just check boxes. One reviewer said Greg Malouf helped them "get to know the house" as they went and clearly loves the work; another said Mark George pointed out both the small things and the big things and made sure they understood what maintenance to keep track of going forward.

There isn't much written history to weigh beyond those two accounts. The BBB gives the company an A+ rating, though its listing notes the business isn't BBB-accredited.

Worth a call if you want an inspector from a long-running, multi-generation local outfit who'll walk you through the house rather than just hand you a report — just note the public reviews are still few.

**Strengths:**
- Educational walkthroughs — inspectors explain what to maintain, not just what's broken
- Six decades in business — family-run since 1960, among New England's first
