Munsell Inspection Services

Munsell Inspection Services is a one-inspector operation out of East Sandwich, built around Mike, who holds Massachusetts home-inspector license #415 and says he's logged over 4,700 inspections in 18-plus years covering Cape Cod, the Islands, and Southern Massachusetts. The company itself has a longer paper trail: the Better Business Bureau dates it to 1982 under President Michael S. Allen, with two other listed inspectors — a 44-year history that sits oddly next to the site's own 18-year figure, worth asking whether that's Mike's personal tenure or the firm's. Online feedback is sparse. Three ratings average five stars on Google, and the single written review on file praises Mike for being responsive, on time, and thorough — walking the buyer through the findings and turning around a report the same day. The BBB gives the firm an A+ grade, though it hasn't sought formal accreditation, and shows no complaints logged. It's a clean scorecard, just a short one. Munsell is affiliated with ASHI, the American Society of Home Inspectors, which is worth confirming still holds alongside the license number quoted on its site. Beyond that there isn't much public track record to lean on, so asking about current availability and a sample report before booking makes sense. For a straightforward pre-purchase inspection on the Cape or South Shore, the credentials line up; just go in knowing the online record is thin rather than deep.
