On its HomeAdvisor profile, the business says it has more than 30 years of experience in home construction and inspection, starting as a building contractor in the early 80's and spending over 9 years as a Technical Services Compliance Specialist with Maine State Housing Authority. HomeAdvisor shows 4.7 stars from 16 ratings. In a 2018 review, a customer said Bruce and Jake arrived right on time, explained the procedures, pointed out areas of concern as they went, and troubleshot a balky furnace that came down to a dead thermostat battery. That 2018 customer said the final report came right when promised. A 2018 customer said Bruce Mathews did a thorough inspection and got the report to them in a day. A 2017 customer said Bruce took time to explain what he found in a home inspection.
