A Tuesday accepted offer, an inspection that Friday, and the report in hand later that night — that is how one August 2026 Google reviewer described booking Winters Home Inspection as a first-time buyer. Speed and thoroughness come up again and again across its 218 Google ratings, which average 5 stars. The company says it is founded and owner-operated by Chris Winters, with Brian Garcia of Melrose also inspecting, and it offers residential, pre-listing, radon, water-quality, WDI pest, drone roof and mold inspections across Massachusetts and Southern New Hampshire. Chris Winters holds an active Massachusetts home inspector licence, #1155-HI-1, and an active New Hampshire home inspector licence, #00712. The company's site also cites Certified Professional Inspector and Certified Radon Tester credentials. Buyers mostly describe the walk-through itself. A June 2026 reviewer said Chris talked them through his findings during the inspection and sent the report the same day. A July 2026 reviewer with a new build said his photos and notes gave them items to submit to the builder under the homeowner's warranty, and his radon testing led to an exhaust fan in the radon vent pipe. In a March 2026 review, a couple said they had a 70-page report within a few hours. Several reviewers say he sorted what needed attention soon from what could wait, and in 2024 reviews buyers described drone roof inspections and infrared or thermal imaging cameras. Two 1-star Google reviews posted on 2026-08-18 say otherwise: one says the company took $10,000 and the promised work was never completed, the other says it took $5,000 and failed to complete the work, and both say they are reporting the company to authorities.
Brian was great to work with - he was thorough, explained everything and answered any and all questions I had. I would absolutely recommend Winters Home Inspection to anyone who is purchasing!
Very detailed, and specific about what needs to be to be fixed soon and what can be fixed later. He is approachable , very knowledgeable in his expertise , and takes the time to educate the customer on what he observes. He is very prompt with the inspection report and detailed with the report as well. I would definitely use him again if I have another home I want to purchase.
The inspection was thorough and professional. Areas inspected included heating, electrical, plumbing and structural components such as ceilings and walls.
I personally had a very bad experience with this company. They took $10,000 from me, but the promised work was never completed. I believe other people may also have had similar experiences. I am going to report this company to the appropriate platforms and authorities so that others can be aware and protect themselves.
This company scams people. They also took **$5,000 from me** and failed to complete the work as promised. I am reporting this company to the appropriate authorities and platforms so others can be aware and avoid becoming victims. Please be careful before doing business with them, and always verify the company and its reputation before sending any money.
