First-time buyers describe walking the house with Omega Home Inspections' inspector and asking their questions as he went. The company's website describes it as a Marblehead-based, veteran-owned, one-inspector business serving Greater Boston and the North Shore, set up in 2019 after a 30-year architectural career and four years in the U.S. Air Force. The site names Stuart as the inspector and lists buyer, pre-listing, new-construction and condo-association inspections plus radon testing. Stuart Cummings holds an active Massachusetts home inspector license, #1054-HI-1. A February 2026 review from a first-time buyer described a report of over 25 pages that flagged areas for future improvement. In a November 2025 review, a customer with a 200-plus-year-old, very large property described a 71-page report turned around in a short period of time for a very reasonable price. A June 2026 reviewer said he explained clearly what he was doing and seeing, and that the process went smoothly from estimate to report; a July 2026 condo buyer said he kept answering questions by text, calls and email while they worked through offer and contingency deadlines. In a January 2024 review of a new-construction home, the buyer said Stuart called out a lot of open items for the builder to address on a short turnaround. A July 2024 reviewer said he made an inspection happen on short notice during a holiday week. In a May 2024 review, a customer mentioned receiving a veteran's discount, and a December 2021 review described a 4-hour inspection, a 50-page report with labeled pictures, and a moisture detector and carbon monoxide check on the furnace. On Angi and HomeAdvisor it shows 5.0 stars from 14 ratings each, and its BBB grade is A+.
Stuart was incredibly friendly, thorough, accommodating, knowledgeable, reasonably priced (I was expecting to pay between $6-1200) and STILL willing to answer questions on the fly for us via text/calls/email since we now have short periods of time to make decisions on an offer/contingencies for our condo purchase. I would highly recommend folks in the Boston/north shore area go with Omega Home Inspections/Stu for their inspection needs.
I can't say enough good about Oscar. He is detailed in his inspections. He has a great service for a great price. I used him in multiple property investments as well as personal residences in the past and everyone of them was the best experience. He even helped me figure out one's that weren't a good investment to take on. On top of his good work, he has a great attitude and friendly demeanor that always made for a pleasant experience. To this day I recommend him everytime someone asks me about a good home inspector.
Stuart was very thorough and knowledgeable, and also explained clearly what he was doing and seeing. His demeanor was professional and approachable, and made me comfortable asking questions throughout the process and about any technical terms I was unfamiliar with. The process went smoothly and quickly from getting an estimate through receiving the report.
I had an excellent experience working with Stuart Cummings for my first home inspection. As a first-time homebuyer, I really appreciated how diligent, patient, and knowledgeable he was throughout the entire process. Stuart spent the full amount of time needed to carefully inspect every area he could, without rushing at all. He explained what he was checking, answered all of my questions clearly, and made sure I understood both current issues and potential future concerns. He provided a very thorough inspection report (over 25 pages) that documented the entire inspection in detail, while also clearly highlighting key areas for future improvements and recommendations. The report was well organized, easy to follow, and extremely helpful for planning ahead. I felt confident and informed after the inspection, which is exactly what you want when buying your first home. I highly recommend Stuart to anyone looking for a reliable and meticulous home inspector.
I highly recommend Stuart! He was prompt, professional and friendly.
