Mayflower Home Inspection, LLC

Mayflower Home Inspection is a Reading-based, multi-inspector team — Andrew, Alex, Patrick, Michael Lee, Thomas, Daniel DeJordy, Felipe, Derek, and others all show up by name across the reviews — founded in 2015 and now carrying an enormous written record: 702 reviews since 2017, with 64 landing in just the last six months alone, virtually all five stars. The pattern across nearly every named inspector is remarkably consistent: thorough walkthroughs, patient answers to buyer questions, and detailed photo reports turned around quickly, often the same day or within a few hours. Several reviewers describe an inspector who caught real issues — one found significant problems in a newly gutted home the buyer didn't expect, another was praised for spotting deviations, even the minor ones. A number of clients say it's their second or later time using the company. The team offers add-on testing for radon, water quality, wood-destroying insects, and mold alongside the core inspection, and holds NEPMA pest inspector qualification and ASHI membership. One account from February 2026 is a serious exception: a homeowner says the inspection rushed through and missed a longstanding carpenter ant infestation, despite paying extra specifically for a pest inspection that reported no wood-destroying insects present — a defect that cost thousands to repair after closing. It's a specific, credible complaint that goes directly to the value of the paid add-on service, and stands out against the volume of praise for thoroughness elsewhere in the record. Mayflower's Massachusetts home inspector license is verified active, and the company is a BBB-accredited business with an A+ rating. For a home purchase inspection with a company operating at this scale, the volume and consistency of detailed positive accounts across many different inspectors is substantial — but the one specific pest-inspection failure on file is worth asking about directly, especially if a paid add-on inspection is part of the plan.
