Maximum Inspection Services

Maximum Inspection Services is a one-person operation built around Jeff Albert, and the same story shows up review after review: he doesn't just walk through, he climbs. One 2025 account describes him spending two hours checking a property with 14-plus-foot ceiling beams, ladder out, working multiple angles, and calling a friend of the buyer's who had lived in the building to compare notes. That thoroughness turns into real leverage for buyers. In a 2021 review, an inspection surfaced enough electrical and plumbing hazards that the buyer got them fixed and won seller credits for rotten siding and aging roofing. A 2019 review is more pointed: inspecting a Natick house on a hot day with no working cooling system, Jeff found mold the seller had painted over and termites in a spot the reviewer doubted anyone else would have caught. Another buyer, in a 2020 review, says the findings were strong enough to renegotiate the purchase price outright. Scheduling comes up as a strength too: one reviewer needed an inspection fast and says Jeff called back immediately and turned the report around the same day, while another was allowed to split the inspection across two visits at no extra charge. On Angi and HomeAdvisor, he holds a 4.9★ average across 36 ratings on each platform. One thing worth knowing before calling: the written reviews here run mostly 2019 to 2021, with a single more recent account from 2025, so the strongest specifics on his day-to-day style are a few years old even though the underlying rating has held up. A few reviewers mention $375-$550 inspection fees in passing, but nobody spells out current pricing, so it's worth confirming the quote up front. For a pre-purchase inspection where you want someone willing to actually get on the roof and into the crawlspace rather than glance and move on, this is the kind of history that backs that call.
