The Inspection Smith is a New Hampshire home inspection company based in the Concord/Boscawen area, led by inspector Donald Smith. The company describes itself as a New Hampshire Certified Home Inspector, drawing on Smith's background in mechanical design, cabinet making, and home restoration, and also offers radon testing, water testing, and mobile home tie-down inspections. Every review on file β four detailed Google accounts from 2022 to 2025 β describes a thorough, knowledgeable inspector. In a 2025 review, a homeowner said Don met a short-notice scheduling request, took extensive photos, and delivered a lengthy, detailed report. Earlier reviews, from 2022, describe a repeat customer who called Don again because his prior inspection was thorough and gave the straight facts with nothing hidden, a homeowner buying an older house who praised how clearly he explained his findings, and a customer who noted Don arrived early, made observations before they even got there, and stayed responsive by phone before and after the visit. Google shows a 5-star average from 6 ratings. An Angi listing for the business, at 17 Penn Avenue in Boscawen, NH, corroborates the company's 7 years of experience and free estimates, though it had no reviews posted on that platform yet. There's little in the record to caution against β this is a small, consistently well-reviewed inspector. Anyone booking should confirm scheduling and pricing directly, since pricing is based on square footage and home age rather than a flat rate.
I called Don to ask for a home inspection on short notice, he was able to meet within our timeline. Don was thorough, took a lot of pictures and wrote recommendations of items needing attention. The report was lengthy but very thorough and detailed. He was very personable and friendly through the entire process, we were able to ask questions to get an honest answer back. I would use the Inspection Smith again, highly recommend!
Having worked with Don in the past I knew he was the guy to call when it came time to buy a home. His inspection was extremely thorough and didn't have any unnecessary details. He gave me the straight facts and didn't hide anything. I would recommend Don to anyone needing a home inspection.
Donald was wonderful to work with! He was efficient, knowledgeable, thorough and friendly. Buying an old house comes with it's issues, but we were lucky to have an inspector that knew what to look for and how to explain his findings in a way that was easily understood! Donald's quick responsiveness and quality of work, made this part of the home buying process a breeze. 10/10 Would recommend! Thank you Donald!!!
I found Don to be knowledgeable in all aspects of the inspection. Don arrived a few minutes before we did and had already made some key observations. He was very patient with my questions and allowed some questions outside the inspection focus. Don is extremely efficient in that items included in the report I did not notice he had looked at. He was helpful in highlighting areas that may need attention and gave suggestions as to solutions. His phone and electronic communications prior to and post inspection were timely and easy to navigate. It was a pleasure meeting Don and I would highly recommend him for anyone requiring an inspection. D?M., 10/11/22 Laconia
