Upright Home Inspections

Upright Home Inspections is a Goffstown, New Hampshire home inspection company run by owner Jay Cote, a veteran who says he's completed nearly 4,000 inspections over the past decade. The company covers pre-purchase, new construction, pre-warranty-expiration, and seller/listing inspections, along with radon testing, and Cote has completed a Radon Measurement Operator Proficiency course. Customers who hired him consistently describe the same experience: a thorough, unhurried walkthrough with plain-language explanations of what he found. Across 57 reviews since 2021 — 13 of them in the last six months, none negative — reviewers repeatedly mention that he answers every question, even from first-time buyers, and turns reports around quickly, often within a day. Several buyers credit him with catching costly problems before closing: in a 2026-01-06 review, one buyer said he found issues that would have cost over $100,000 to fix, and a 2025-10-29 review describes a detailed post-closing inspection that gave peace of mind about what to handle first. One repeat customer, in a 2026-06-15 review, says he used Jay twice and credits him with steering the family away from a problem home a year earlier before helping with their next purchase. A 2024-01-18 reviewer specifically sought him out as a fellow veteran-owned business. Scheduling flexibility comes up often too — several reviewers describe him accommodating short-notice requests, including quick-turnaround radon testing and inspections fit in around tight closing timelines. The reviews posted, recent and older, are uniformly positive, with no complaints to weigh against them. Anyone booking should still confirm scope and pricing directly, as with any inspection.
