Explaining the inspection is a repeated part of what customers praise about L & M Home Inspection Service. An August 2026 Google reviewer said Rich explained what he was looking at, why it mattered, and did so in language that made sense. A first-time homeowner writing on Thumbtack in April 2026 praised Richard for explaining the home and what to watch for, alongside a thorough inspection and a fair price. The Derry business says it was established in 2018 and is veteran-owned and operated. Its website describes residential property inspections plus HUD consulting, radon and water testing, septic checks, pest inspections, fence and appliance inspections, and sewer scoping. It also lists affiliations or certifications including InterNACHI, ASHI and AHIT. Home inspection is the work customers describe hiring it to do. A May 2026 Thumbtack reviewer described Rich taking his time, explaining every part of the inspection, remaining patient with questions, and taking photos and videos. That customer said the cost was lower than other inspections they had experienced and praised the turnaround for the full report. In June 2026, another customer said L & M accommodated a last-minute home inspection and supplied a thorough report. Older accounts describe communication and report delivery as well. In a March 2026 review, a customer said Rich communicated before, during and after the inspection and that his work helped them make an informed decision. A September 2025 Thumbtack reviewer described an urgent request, a next-day visit, and explanations of problem areas and possible corrections. A May 2023 HomeAdvisor customer reported quick scheduling and receiving the report by email within 24 hours. Another, writing in June 2023 after their first home inspection, said all their questions had been answered and the company had done everything it said it would. HomeAdvisor lists a 4.9-star average from 165 ratings; Thumbtack lists 4.9 from 111. A February 2026 Google reviewer described the inspection as thorough and said the pricing was fair and based on square footage.
Rich was great. Very knowledgeable and friendly. Explained what he was looking at and why, and did it in a way that made sense. Excellent experience.
Great and efficient service! We needed a home inspection last minute and they were able to fit us in and provide a thorough report. Thanks again
Rich was thorough, methodical, and explained every part of his inspection to me , was patient with questions, took his time, took videos and pictures and did an outstanding job! I would highly recommend him. His cost was lower than others but the quality of work, response to appointment time, turnaround time for the full report,was far above other experiences I’ve had with home inspections.
Richard did a great job explaining everything to me about the home and what to look out for. I am a first time home owner so his knowledge was really helpful. Thorough and clear inspection also a fair price.
Rich was knowledgeable, professional and communicative before, during and after our inspection. His thorough work helped us feel confident to make an informed decision.
