Metro Boston Property Inspections is a home inspection company that describes itself as serving Eastern MA and Northern RI, offering residential and commercial building inspections, 21E environmental site assessments, radon testing and mold screening for buyers, sellers and agents. One recent customer, working to a three-week expedited closing, said the inspection was scheduled for the day after the accepted offer and that Ryan Orlando explained every step. Its Massachusetts home inspector license, number 258-HI-1, is active on the state registry, with Tod E Whiting as the holder of record. On Google the company holds 5 stars from 480 ratings, and its BBB grade is A+. A recent customer buying a home said the report was delivered the very same day, in an easy-to-understand format. Rob M. sent a different recent customer the report the same evening, and when that customer reached out with questions a few days later, Rob got back to them the same day. A recent reviewer said Tod let them follow him around and ask questions during the inspection, then walked the property with them and helped name the plantings around the house. In a recent review written about a buyer client, the reviewer said the inspection ran two hours or more and that the buyer was advised to seek specialists to repair some items on the report. A 2026 customer who could not be there in person said Ryan went over his findings by phone immediately after the inspection and that the detailed report came within 24 hours. In a 2025 review, a customer said Rob explained which items were up to code, which were grandfathered in and which might need updating. A 2022 reviewer said Mark took them on a tour to point out everything he was talking about. A 2021 Reddit commenter in r/boston reported a good experience with a home inspection from the company. A 2025 customer left two stars, saying the people were kind but the inspection was poor. That 2025 customer said sliding doors that could not slide were put down to wheels needing adjustment rather than a sagging floor and a frame no longer flat.
“Just had a home inspection with Metro Boston Property Inspections and had a good experience with them.”
Haven’t had the inspection yet but I have to say Missy is the best! She helped me figure a lot out the first time I tried to hire them and I came back around to this amazing company cause they are the best all around! Go with them for all your home inspection needs!
Ryan Orlando went above and beyond, we had an expedited closing (3 weeks) and we were able to schedule the inspection the day after the accepted offer. Ryand did a thorough job, explained every step and made the buyers feel at ease. Excellent experience for both the buyer and seller.
They where very thorough through out the whole process and pointed out everything someone would want to know. I would highly recommend them especially if it is your first time purchasing a house or you’re a seasoned vet at it!
Great experience with Ryan. He was very nice, knowledgeable, and thorough. He did a detailed inspection and explained everything clearly. Highly recommend his service!
Metro did a great job with a home inspection for purchase of my new home. The inspector was great and was very patient with me walking through the home and answering all of my questions. The inspection was meticulous and thorough. They did a great job giving me piece of mind regarding all the aspects of my new property. The report was delivered the very same day and cover all the details of the inspection in an easy to understand format. Thanks Metro Boston for a thorough job.
