Home Plate Inspection Company inspects houses for buyers, sellers and homeowners, and its website says the aim is a clear understanding of a property's structural integrity, safety and overall condition. The company says it has been in business six years, and its stated service area runs from Hartford, New Haven and New London to Westerly, Newport, Warwick and Providence. One buyer first worked with Chris in 2021 on a house in Connecticut and came back to him in 2026 for a house in Rhode Island. That customer said he got on a call during the final walkthrough, well after the inspection, when the boiler had gone into emergency lockout mode, and that adding mold testing turned up black mold that needed remediation before closing. A customer who bought an 1830 farmhouse said Chris was thorough and that his full report was detailed and color-coded. On an antique home, a customer said he explained the process beforehand and at every step and took his time going over his findings. A buyer wrote that he let them walk through with him, fielded all of their questions and sweat in a 110 degree attic. A Realtor who works in Connecticut and Rhode Island said they have worked with Chris on multiple home inspections and that his reports are detailed and easy to follow. A customer said he explains what he is doing during the inspection and gives the expected life of major home components along with their general maintenance.
Chris was extremely personable, clear, and considerate! I am currently in the process of buying my first house and he walked me through absolutely everything he did, answering all of my questions regardless of how obvious some of them probably were.
I can't recommend Chris enough! I actually worked with him back in 2021 when I bought a house in Connecticut, after my realtor at the time recommended him. Fast forward to 2026, we're buying a house in Rhode Island with a completely different realtor, and she recommended Chris too! I remembered how great he was the first time around, so it was a no-brainer to work with him again. One of the things I appreciate most about Chris is that he doesn't just inspect the house and hand you a report. He really takes the time to walk you through everything, explain what he's looking at, point things out, and help you actually get to know the house you're buying. He's incredibly thorough, knowledgeable, and easy to talk to. You never feel rushed or like you're asking too many questions. He even took the time to hop on a call with us during our final walkthrough when we discovered the boiler had gone into emergency lockout mode, just to help us figure out what might be going on. Mind you, this was well after our inspection! We appreciated that so much. I also can't recommend adding mold testing to your inspection enough! We ended up discovering black mold that needed remediation before closing, and I'm SO glad we knew about it ahead of time rather than finding out after moving in. That extra testing was absolutely worth it. Buying a house is a huge decision and having someone like Chris who takes the time to make sure you really understand what you're getting into makes such a difference. After two great experiences with him, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to anyone buying a home! - Sarah Lodge & Neal Pyne
I'm very happy with my experience with Home Plate. Chris was very knowledgeable about all aspects of construction. He has a very discerning eye and is extremely detail oriented. At the same time he made everything easy for me to understand.
Chris was wonderful to work with. He was kind, patient, and positive throughout the inspection. He was incredibly thorough and clearly knows his stuff. If an issue was uncovered, he had suggestions for addressing it and had great tips for general home maintenance for the home we are purchasing. Would highly recommend- he helped make the experience of purchasing a home less stressful!
Chris really knows what he is doing! He gave us a great detailed inspection report and took his time during the walk through to explain everything. We learned a lot and his report will help us in the future!
