Tiger Home Inspection carries 4,963 Google ratings averaging 4.9. The Braintree company says it has been family owned and operated since 1990, and it fields a large roster of inspectors — recent customers name Frank, Nico, Ted, Brandon, Jeff, Tom and others. Its website lists computerized reports, commercial inspections, mold air sampling and radon testing. Customers describe early arrivals and fast reports. In a June 2026 review, a buyer said Frank was there 30 minutes early, had already inspected the outside, and emailed a detailed report with pictures within a few hours. A March 2026 customer called late on a Monday afternoon and was inspected the next day, and another March 2026 customer said Jeff Teachout's report arrived the same day. Some buyers describe serious misses. In a June 2026 review, a buyer said their contractor later found major structural problems costing $300,000 over the sale price, that the city deemed the house uninhabitable, and that the inspector said he could not get into the crawl space and skipped it. Another June 2026 buyer said the inspector missed water damage in walls and ceilings, pool and deck safety hazards, a deteriorated roof, uncapped plumbing and a sewage system that did not work. A May 2026 seller said inspector John M. claimed their gas meter was set too low and their vinyl siding installed incorrectly, and an April 2026 reviewer described the office as pushy and accusatory over a cancellation. A July 2025 Reddit commenter in r/WorcesterMA said Tiger did a very detailed report when they bought their home in 2011. Its BBB page is an A+.
“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”
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
