Seaside Home Inspection

Seaside Home Inspection is one person: Scott Hunt, who spent over 30 years on active duty with the U.S. Coast Guard as a Senior Marine Inspector — poring over machinery and structural systems on commercial vessels — before turning the same habit on houses. He was a builder and roofing contractor before that. He covers Cape Cod and Southeastern Massachusetts, doing buyer and seller inspections plus radon and water-quality testing. The company describes the job concretely: a two-to-five-hour walkthrough the client is encouraged to attend, then a report with photos emailed within 24 to 48 hours. He calls it a small, privately owned company, and it is veteran-owned by his own account. One thing to pin down before booking. The Massachusetts home-inspector licence number the site publishes, No. 772, is the company's own statement rather than a confirmed one, so it's worth checking against the state register — and asking to see a sample report, since the inspection you're buying is really the report. A reasonable call for a Cape Cod buyer who wants the inspector walking the house with them rather than emailing a checklist afterwards.
