Martin Home Services

In late 2022 a customer hired Jay and his team to put up a bat house; a February 2023 client had him inspect a 17-year-old home and came away knowing the second-floor deck was in precarious shape and needed replacing, with recommendations on the electrical system and foundation on top. Martin Home Services, working out of Bedford, covers that whole range — home inspections plus the handyman and remodeling work a house turns out to need. The company describes itself as an independent, locally owned family business, and it also buys homes as-is for cash — a separate side of the business worth knowing about if you are hiring the inspection half ahead of a sale. Its six Google reviews, posted between 2022 and 2024, are all five stars, and Jay is named in several of them. A September 2024 customer said the bathroom remodel, the biggest of several jobs he had done in their home, came out beautifully. An April 2024 review covered a large TV mount and called him knowledgeable, efficient and prompt. In April 2023, a customer preparing a farm for sale credited the team with communication and timeliness across a number of jobs, and the second February 2023 reviewer described a thorough inspection and being walked through each section of the report. On Angi the business is listed as "Martin Home Services LLC Complete Home Inspection", offering free estimates, emergency service and warranties, and taking credit cards. A sensible call for a New Hampshire homeowner who wants one person for the inspection, the punch list and the small remodels that follow. New Hampshire licenses home inspectors through its Office of Professional Licensure and Certification, so ask for that licence number, and get the scope of the inspection — and what it leaves out — in writing before you book.
