I-Spy Home Inspection LLC is a Winthrop-based outfit the company says Rich Aiello founded in 1995, after graduating from Wentworth Institute of Technology with a degree in Building Construction; the business describes Aiello as ASHI-certified since 1999 and says it covers Greater Boston towns from Winthrop and Revere down to Charlestown, Jamaica Plain, and South Boston. Reviewers describe him taking his time — patiently walking first-time buyers through what he found rather than handing over a report and moving on. In a 2024 review, a buyer recalled a gut-renovation inspection where Rich flagged everything still unfinished at the time, giving them leverage to get the seller to complete the work before closing. Another review mentions getting the report back the same day. Across the file, the same theme repeats: thorough, explained clearly, easy to coordinate with. The written record is thin — 12 reviews since 2023, with only one in the last six months — so there isn't much volume yet, though nothing negative appears in it. He's a fit for buyers who want a patient, explain-as-you-go inspection across the North Shore and Boston neighborhoods the company lists — worth confirming he covers your specific town before booking.
