The Home Inspection Company

The Home Inspection Company is Ed Morkis's Framingham-based practice, and his Massachusetts home inspector license is active — he's also a licensed Construction Supervisor and an InterNACHI Certified Professional Inspector, per the company's own site, which puts him at 10 years in business. Twenty-eight Google reviews run from 2021 through mid-2026, nearly all five stars, and the specifics are unusually consistent: thorough, explains everything, answers questions patiently. The stories that stick out go beyond routine praise. In a 2026 review, a buyer says Ed's report on their first prospective home caught a mouse infestation serious enough to call it a "tinderbox, death trap," and that his equally careful report on their second choice gave them confidence to buy it. A 2022 review from a buyer who is himself a contractor says he didn't expect Ed to find much beyond his own walkthrough — but Ed did, and the findings became leverage to negotiate a better price on the property. A 2023 reviewer says Ed's report helped them save over $10,000 on insulation work in their new home. In a 2026 review, a first-time buyer, anxious about the process, says Ed made a special trip out on Christmas Eve and caught items the buyer had missed on their own walkthrough. Turnaround comes up often too: multiple reviewers from 2024 and 2025 describe reports back within 24 hours, and several say Ed accommodated short-notice scheduling. One reviewer, in a 2021 review, gave four stars rather than five but still says using Ed's services twice left them undisappointed — the lone review in the record on file that isn't a full five stars, and even it reads as a mild endorsement rather than a complaint. Repeat and referral business shows up directly in the reviews: past clients and real estate agents describe using him a second time and referring him to their own clients, and one agent, in a 2023 review, calls him her "absolute go-to". For a MetroWest or Greater Boston buyer who wants a hands-on walkthrough rather than a rubber-stamp inspection, this is about as deep and consistent a written record as a solo inspector gets — worth confirming which of the extra services (radon, mold, well/water testing) apply to the specific property.
