Sunrise Home Inspection LLC inspects houses for buyers and holds a 4.9-star Google rating from 89 ratings. A recent customer who used it for a home inspection in Mystic said D.J. Berry was the inspector. A recent customer said Kevin explained the well system and how to maintain it. In a 2025 review, a customer buying a home in Stonington said Chris Roy spent over two hours examining the property, including the detached garage. A 2024 customer buying a home in Norwich said Chris Roy spent over three hours inspecting the house. A 2025 customer said that after Chris's inspection they decided to back out of the house. A recent customer gave one star: they said a strong odor that smelled like gas was raised with Dwayne Berry and the real estate agents during the walkthrough, they were told it was likely the sellers' kids' sports bags, and a professional later found it was related to a problem with the gas fireplace. A 2024 customer also gave one star, saying a four-hour inspection included 15 items that were false, exaggerated or not applicable to the home.
I would not recommend Sunrise Home Inspection or Dwayne Berry based on our experience. Our home inspection was performed on July 29, 2026, after they were recommended to us by our buyer’s agent. During the walkthrough, there was a very strong odor in the house that smelled like a gas and I told him about my concern. We specifically brought the smell to the attention of Dwayne Berry and the real estate agents, and we were told it was likely the sellers’ kids’ dirty sports bags. After closing, we had a professional investigate the issue and found that the odor was actually related to a problem with the gas fireplace. What concerns me most is that the smell was clearly present before closing, we specifically brought it up, and instead of being properly investigated, it was dismissed. It makes us question whether the seriousness of the issue was being overlooked or downplayed. I understand that gas fireplace testing may be outside the standard scope of a home inspection. However, when a strong, unusual odor is specifically brought to an inspector’s attention, I believe it should be taken seriously and recommended for further investigation. We relied on this inspection when purchasing a $1.3M+ home, and we are extremely disappointed with how this situation was handled.
Kevin provided an extremely thorough inspection and report. I was able to be there for some of the inspection and he made sure to point things out and clearly explain them to me. He explained the well system and how we need to maintain it so we were fully educated on what we were buying. He helped us make an informed decision and gave us confidence we were buying what we were expecting. Kevin & his team are trustworthy and we would recommend sunrise home inspections!
We recently used Sunrise for a home inspection in Mystic. D.J. Berry, our inspector, performed above and beyond all expectations! D.J. was highly knowledgable, thorough, and very informative. He also was very easy to work with and helpful. His report was outstanding. We are very happy. I would recommend this company to anyone.
Kevin is my go-to inspector. I have recommended him for 14 years and counting. Thorough, consistent, prompt, kind, and cares about his clients.
Just verifying what many have said about the expertise and work John Leonard Jr. Does. One of the straightest "shooters" you will ever have the pleasure of meeting. Chronologically detailed, HIGHLY knowledgeable, and takes the upmost pride in his work. He takes the time out to make sure you know every detail of the status of your home. He is the "Peoples Advocate", and is very concerned about you being able to enjoy life in your new home both today, and the days on the horizon. HIGHLY, HIGHLY, recommended.
