Verified record
One inspector, one name attached to almost every review: Ken Ray, who has run Kensa Inspections since at least 2021. Across 128 reviews on Google since then, the same beat repeats — he shows up early, works slowly through a house, and explains what he finds as he goes. The specifics back it up. One buyer said his inspection turned up deficiencies that led them to pass on a 106-year-old coastal-town house before it became an expensive mistake, one of the things they were specifically hoping an inspector would catch. Another credited him with catching problems on a new-construction condo purchase that saved them thousands in future repairs. He shows up early for every visit — reviewers single that out specifically — and takes the time a job needs, whether that means examining every inch of a two-family home from the attics down or spending nearly two hours in a 650-square-foot condo answering questions. That pattern hasn't slipped recently: 18 of the reviews landed in the last six months, all five stars, describing the same early-arrival, explain-everything approach. Reports typically land within a day, often the same day, through an online portal reviewers describe as easy to use. There's nothing in the record pointing to a rushed job or a slow report — the one thing worth knowing before booking is that this is a one-person operation, so scheduling runs on Ken's own calendar rather than a larger team's. For a South Shore or Eastern Massachusetts buyer who wants an inspector willing to spend the extra hour, Kensa is the kind of booking reviewers say they'd make again.

Inspector arrived before meeting time to begin inspection of exterior, saving us time. Inspector was very thorough in descriptions, without overwhelming us with information. Inspection was made as painless as possible. 10/10, highly recommend.
Kensa Inspections was great for our recent home inspection. He was informative, on-time, and very professional.
Ken was extremely thorough and covered every nook and cranny throughout the home inspection. We discussed each finding on site. His report was clear and concise and he responded to my follow-up questions quickly. I would strongly recommend his services.
Was very professional, found stuff I missed. We passed on the house because of what he found. Saved is thousands of future reapirs. Will use him again .
Ken did an amazing job for the inspection of a new condo purchase. He checked for the functionality of every appliance, electrical work, and HVAC. He even let me know how I can extend the warranty on my AC unit. He responded to all my questions in a timely manner, managed to provide the inspection during a Saturday when I was not at work, and provided a detailed report the very next day.
