Shoveltown Home Inspections LLC

Every one of the last 75 reviews for Shoveltown Home Inspections is five stars, and the word that keeps repeating is thorough. The North Easton company sends out a small team of named inspectors — Dean, Foster Kelly, and Carlos Moreno all turn up by name across dozens of 2026 visits — to walk buyers through a home before they close on it. Google backs that up at scale: a full 5-star average across 749 ratings, and the Better Business Bureau lists the company with an A+ grade. Recent reviewers describe unhurried inspectors who explain findings as they go rather than rushing through a checklist, and several specifically mention a drone being flown over the roof and chimney to get a look that a ladder can't. Buyers of older or unusual homes — an 1860s farmhouse, a 1920s coastal cottage — say the reports caught issues a less experienced inspector might have missed. There's nothing close to a real complaint in that stretch, but two small notes are worth flagging. One reviewer felt a few flagged items were more optional than genuine defects, worth keeping in mind when reading the report's findings. Another mentioned that a change in the Massachusetts home inspection law has left the company overbooked, so it's worth confirming which inspector is available and how far out they're scheduling. For a buyer sizing up an older property who wants a detailed, walk-and-talk inspection rather than a quick once-over, this is the kind of record that holds up: five straight months without a negative review layered on top of a long-running, high-volume presence on Google.
