Martin Home Services

Martin Home Services is a family-owned business based in Bedford, NH, run by an operator customers know as Jay, offering both home inspections and general handyman/contractor work; the company's own site also advertises a separate cash home-buying program for New Hampshire homeowners. Customers who hired Jay for home inspections describe thorough walkthroughs of the findings -- one 2023 review recounts an inspection of a 17-year-old home that caught a deck in precarious shape and flagged electrical and foundation items for follow-up, and another praised the time taken to walk through each section of the report. On the handyman side, reviewers from 2022 through 2024 describe him mounting a large TV, preparing a farm property for sale, installing a bat house, and completing a bathroom remodel they called beautiful -- several mention hiring him more than once. Worth asking about before booking: the business is new to Angi and HomeAdvisor, with no reviews yet on either platform even though it lists free estimates, emergency service, and warranties there, so its formal review history outside Google is thin. It's also worth clarifying up front whether you want an inspection, handyman work, or its separate as-is cash home-buying offer, since the company's own website only markets the handyman and home-buying sides and doesn't mention inspections at all. For a Bedford-area homeowner who wants one local, family-run outfit for both a pre-purchase inspection and general repair work afterward, the Google history is a straightforwardly positive, if still small, track record worth a call to confirm current availability and pricing.
