A homeowner who had built their house nearly 20 years earlier hired Wachusett Home Inspection to find out how it was holding up. In their June 2026 review, they say Mark Fratoni identified a major electrical issue that they believed could have led to a serious fire. They also describe guidance on the remaining life of systems and components, while noting that Mark does not estimate repair costs. Wachusett describes itself as a one-inspector Massachusetts business, owner-operated by Mark Fratoni. The company says its residential inspections include photo-driven narrative reports, wood-destroying insect inspection, infrared thermography and drone roof views, with optional radon and water-quality testing. It lists towns including Acton, Ashburnham, Fitchburg, Gardner and Groton in its service area, and states Certified Master Inspector and Certified Infrared Thermographer credentials. Mark A Fratoni’s Massachusetts home inspector license is active. Google lists 5 stars from 323 ratings. Customers writing in April, June and July 2026 describe Mark explaining findings during the inspection and answering questions. One April reviewer says he explained each step, delivered a clear report before the end of the day, and promptly answered follow-up questions. A July customer likewise says the written report arrived later that day. June and July reviewers specifically report delivery within 24 hours. April, June and July customers also describe easy booking or scheduling. The inspections have covered existing houses and new construction. In a March 2024 review, a new-build customer described Mark finding rubbing cabinet doors and thin paint on door tops, explaining construction techniques, and discussing maintenance for newer HVAC and ERV systems. That customer said the report arrived within 24 hours, allowing them to share it with the construction manager before a walkthrough. A July 2024 reviewer described drone roof photography and thermal imaging of walls and baseboard heaters. More recent customers describe similar inspection tools. An August 2026 reviewer mentions thermal imaging and drones. A June reviewer says Mark used thermal imaging and identified mold, moisture buildup, electrical problems and rodent activity, while explaining potential consequences and ways to address the issues. In a February 2026 review, a customer said the inspection helped uncover a potential $16,000 repair before proceeding with a home purchase.

Super knowledgeable and an absolute jokester. Thank you for giving us the info we need to move forward in our house journey! What a pleasure it was!
Mark is very personable and knowledgeable about the home inspection process. Explained during the whole process about what he was looking at or if there was something we should be looking for in the future to head off any potential problems. Received his written report later on that same day. I would definitely recommend Mr. Mark to inspect your future home.
