Mid-Cape Home Inspection Services is a one-inspector home inspection business on the Mid Cape whose own site says it has served Cape Cod since 1999. Owner Ken Amelin describes himself as the principal, founder and owner, with more than 30 years in real estate design, construction, project management and property management behind him. The only third-party account on file is a strong one. In March 2026 a Cape Cod resident answering a request for home inspector recommendations wrote that the inspector was very easy to work with, pointed out things they never saw, answered every question professionally, and was a knowledgeable licensed engineer and a straight shooter. That description lines up with what the company claims about itself: it advertises a BSME engineering degree alongside a Massachusetts home inspector licence, number 169, and a Massachusetts Construction Supervisor licence, number CS060050. Those numbers are the business's own statements and have not been checked against the state registry here. The service list is buyer inspections, seller inspections, new-construction phase inspections, commercial building inspections and radon testing, with free inspection estimates, and the business is listed in the Dennis Chamber of Commerce directory. There is one recommendation and no star ratings anywhere, so the record is genuinely thin — encouraging, but thin. Ask for recent client references and verify both licence numbers with the Massachusetts Division of Occupational Licensure yourself before you book.
“I Highly recommend Mid-Cape Home Inspection Services out of Dennis MA. The inspector was very easy to work with. He pointed out things I never saw and answered all my questions in a very professional manner. He's a licensed engineer, was very knowledgeable and a straight shooter. Got the detailed report the next day.”
