Tiger Home Inspection is a Braintree home inspection company. One recent customer said Frank was there 30 minutes before the scheduled time, had already inspected the outside of the house, and sent a typed report with pictures by email within a matter of a few hours. The company says it has been family owned and operated since 1990, and its website lists computerized reports, commercial inspections, mold air sampling and radon testing. A Massachusetts home inspector licence, number 1150-HI-1, held by Jean-Marc Poussier, is active on the state registry. On Google it has a 4.9-star average from 4,963 ratings, and its BBB grade is A+. A recent customer said Ted Zawalick emailed a complete 32-page report a few hours after a pre-purchase inspection. A recent customer who scheduled a pre-sale inspection said Kevin had already walked the exterior taking notes and pictures, and that his findings led them to terminate the sale; that customer also said the price was a little high compared to competitors. A 2026 customer said they called late in the afternoon and Tiger scheduled the inspection for the very next day. A 2025 Reddit commenter said they used Tiger Home Inspection in 2011 to buy their home and got a very detailed report. A recent customer said the inspector did not get into the crawl space, and that their contractor later found major structural problems costing $300,000 over the sale price. A recent customer said the inspector missed water damage in the walls and ceilings, a deteriorated roof and a sewage system that was not functional in the home they purchased. A recent customer who was the seller said John M. claimed the gas meter was installed too low and the vinyl siding was installed incorrectly, and said they had been told the report contained multiple inaccuracies. A recent customer who cancelled a general inspection said the company got accusatory and said a lead inspection alone would cost more without the bundle discount. A 2024 customer wrote that it "Missed quite a bit of things," and a 2024 Reddit commenter wrote, "avoid tiger inspection." In a March 2026 r/capecod thread, a poster said their Tiger Home Inspection cost $600 and was a pretty mediocre inspection. In a September 2013 r/boston thread, a commenter said Tiger missed some asbestos flooring that they had to remove, which cost them a few grand.
“I used tiger home inspections. Very thorough and professional”
“We used tiger home inspection and it was $600 and a pretty mediocre inspection.”
“We used Tiger Home Inspection (Braintree, MA) back in 2011 to buy our current home and they did a very detailed report.”
“Tiger Home Inspection”
“I used Tiger Home Inspection twice. Twice because the inspector pointed out some serious foundation issues on the first house, basically saved us from making a horrible financial decision.”
Our pre purchase inspection was propfessional from the initial call to book it through the actual inspection and follow up. Ted Zawalick, our licenesed inspector, was thorough and answered questions and gave explanations that were helpful and instructive. Literally a few hours after completing the detailed exterior and interior incpection he e-mailed us a complete 32 page inspection report (we are still awaiting results of radon and water qualitry reports which are understandably sent out to labs). It was a very positive experience and left us even more confident in our buying decision.
If I could vote zero I would. My contractor found major structural problems with my home costing me $300,000. over sale price. Inspector said he could not get in the crawl space so he just didnt do it. Whether or not inspection was done pre closing or post closing he said he couldn't get under the house. BS. There are several ways to see and get into a crawlspace. My contractor did. The inspector did not do his job or due diligence to get it done. I was screwed over bad. The city deemed the house uninhabitable. I had to raise house. Two years now and it is still not complete. Tiger inspector failed big time uprooting my entire life.
unlike some other inspection companies that gave me crazy quotes. Brandon from Tiger Home Inspection team was extremely professional and knowledgeable and took time to explain details to me as a future landlord. Much appreciated. pricing very reasonable and worth it. final reports was very comprehensive. I recommend them 100% !!!!
We had a great experience with Tiger. Frank was very thorough, very astute, and knowledgeable. He was also a very generous teacher and took the time to explain what things were, how exactly they worked, and various quirks of different parts of the home that would have eluded me. Highly recommend.
Very good <3
