Steve Sherman runs a one-man home inspection outfit out of North Attleborough, and what keeps showing up across his reviews is what he catches, not just what he checks off. One buyer credits him with spotting a sunken garage floor and a failing sump pump during an open-house walkthrough, letting them price the repairs into their offer before the deal closed; another says a Sherman inspection saved them from buying a house with foundation problems. First-time homebuyers make up a large share of the praise, and the common thread is education: reviewers describe him walking them through what a house actually needs -- maintenance points, how systems work, what to prioritize -- rather than just handing over a checklist. A realtor who says she has referred clients to him over an eight-year career describes the same pattern from the professional side: buyers come away informed and confident, not just handed a report. Turnaround gets called out repeatedly too. Several reviewers mention getting the written report within a couple of hours of the inspection, including on short-notice bookings squeezed in ahead of a deadline. The 18 reviews on file run from 2022 through 2025, all five stars, and Google separately shows 5 stars across 25 ratings. There is nothing negative in the record to flag before calling. The specifics people bring up -- a sunken garage, a bad sump pump, foundation issues caught in time -- point to a thorough walkthrough rather than a fast rubber stamp. Worth confirming current availability and how quickly he can fit you in, since speed alongside thoroughness is clearly part of what repeat clients and referring realtors are paying for.

Sherman inspection did a great job explaining things to us so we understood as we are new homeowners. Would highly recommend them
Steven was great! Had him come do an inspection for our basement. He was very informative and explained everything in depth throughout his inspection. If you’re looking for a trustworthy local inspector who will be straight with you, then I would definitely hit him up!
Exceptionally skilled and thorough, Steven Sherman conducted a detailed walkthrough of the house, including the exterior and important maintenance points. He then performed a comprehensive inspection of the basement, covering every aspect in depth, before addressing the cosmetic details of the rest of the home. The inspection lasted approximately 2.5 to 3 hours. Extremely patient, he answered all our questions, offered valuable recommendations, and delivered a report within 2 hours of the inspection. His inputs and experience definitely requires more than 5 stars. I highly recommend Steven Sherman for a home inspection.
Steve did a great Job educating us throughout our first home inspection ever. He has a lot of experience and it shows. The education alone was worth it but he provided us with a very thorough home inspection and was very patient with us. I highly recommend Sherman inspection inc.
