A 2026 customer said they passed on a house because of what he found. A 2026 customer looking at a 106-year-old house in a coastal town on the south shore said Ken found issues with the heating, the roofing, the deck, mold and termites that pushed them away from it. A 2026 customer said Ken did a consultation on their own home, which had a number of 20+ year old elements, and identified one sizable element that needed fast tracking. A 2026 customer said their real estate agent used Kensa's website tools to share the report sections labelled WARNING with the seller's agent, and that the customer lowered the offer. A 2025 customer said Ken arrived early to a condo inspection, spent almost 2 hours in a 650 sq ft condo answering questions, and sent a detailed report the next day.

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.
