I-Spy Home Inspection LLC

I-Spy Home Inspection is Rich Aiello working solo out of Winthrop, inspecting single and multi-family homes, condos, historic houses and commercial properties across Greater Boston. He's been at it since 1995, and picked up his ASHI certification in 1999 after coming through Wentworth Institute of Technology's building construction program. The thing buyers write about most is how much he explains. One recent review from a first-time buyer describes him taking the time to break down both the immediate problems and the longer-term maintenance items so nothing felt like jargon by the end of the inspection. That pattern holds across his other reviews too, with people mentioning feeling informed rather than handed a checklist. His Google page shows 4.6 stars from 22 ratings, and every review on file since 2023 reads positive, with no complaints turning up anywhere in his history. That's a clean run, though it's also a modest number of reviews for a 30-year career, so treat the rating as a good sign rather than a guarantee. He covers a wide stretch of towns, from Winthrop, Revere, Lynn, Salem, Marblehead and Swampscott on the North Shore to Boston neighborhoods like Charlestown, Dorchester and South Boston. If you're a first-time buyer who wants the inspection explained rather than rushed, he's a reasonable call; just confirm he's free on your timeline since it's a one-person operation.
