RJ Inspections is a Methuen home inspection company, and one recent customer buying a home said Richie showed up early and got a head start on everything outside before explaining his observations inside. He told them the report would come within 48 hours, and that customer said it arrived later that afternoon. The company says it has provided home inspection service since 1987, and its website lists radon, water quality, mold and related environmental testing alongside home inspections across MA, NH and New England. On Google it holds 5 stars from 3,783 ratings, and its BBB grade is A+. A recent customer said Colin Mason's report came with clear photos, plain explanations and severity ratings, so they knew what was urgent versus routine. Colin had a different recent customer walk around with him during the inspection and got that customer the report within 2 hours after it finished. A recent reviewer said Fred only spoke with or included others when the clients gave permission. Jay came out to one recent first-time buyer for a home inspection along with mold, termite and radon checks. A recent customer said Fred discussed their questions by phone the day after the inspection. One recent reviewer said the office was quick to find them a date and called the inspection reasonably priced. A 2022 Reddit commenter in r/WorcesterMA said they spent about $700 including a radon test and found the company very thorough. A 2026 customer who described themselves as a licensed GC gave one star, saying the inspector did not climb onto the roof and the report relied on asking the homeowner how old the roof was. That 2026 customer said they asked the company to come back once the roof was clear of light snow, and it did not. A 2021 Reddit commenter in r/boston said the company did a terrible job and missed a lot of problems.
“I spent about $700 including radon test. Used Rj inspections out of methuen. They were very thorough.”
“Actually did a terrible job. Missed an absolute ton of problems and didn't inform me of things he knowingly didn't look at”
Inspection was super thorough and informative
Fred Lapitino was great, so informative, very respectful, very knowledgeable. He explained everything in a proper, understandable manner. He arrived on time. I’m so glad I was able to have RJ inspection, inspect my future home. Thank You again Fred.
Great working with Richie! Very informative, knowledgeable and helpful! Learned a lot and felt like I was given the tools to be successful regarding the purchase!
Richie did my inspection and he was very knowledgeable. He explained his findings, was great answering my questions, and sent the completed report quickly. I would definitely recommend!
Fred did an incredible job. His level of professionalism, and personality were top notch. He did an amazing job with our inspection and I would recommend him to anyone. The 5 stars are deserved. He put us at ease and would use him again in a moment.
