Brad goes over everything with a fine tooth comb. He sees things we don't or can't see. Did I say he is thorough? The time spent with Brad goes very smoothly and methodically. He lets you follow him around as he does his inspection and you can ask him all kinds of questions. He's very patient and explains everything in an easy to understand fashion. Call Mr. Becker if you need a home inspected. He's top notch.
Description of Work: I've used Brad Becker's services as a home inspector four different times during various real estate transactions in the North Quabbin.

I purchased a home out of foreclosure that had been vacant for 5 or more years. Mr Becker came in and went through the home from top to bottom checking all operating systems, structure, looked for mold, set up radon detectors and made suggestions as to possible solutions. Professional, easy to communicate with, thorough, prompt, gave me a sense of confidence in purchasing the home. He also made some suggestions as to replacing the water heater with a Hybrid system.

Overall, Brad's work EXCEEDED my expectations. He is licensed, bonded and insured and does work in the states of Mass, Vermont and New Hampshire. It took Brad four hours to do the inspection on my new home - that's how careful and thorough he is.
Description of Work: I am in the process of buying a new home. Our appointment was set for 3 p.m. and I arrived a little early to walk around the property. When I got there at 2:30, Brad had already arrived. This inspector went through the property with a fine tooth comb. He goes from room to room, checking everything. For example, he even checked every single electrical outlet in the place to see if it was active. Fastidious and careful are the words I use to describe Brad's work. I also had him do a water quality and quantity test on the well/septic system. He also includes a thorough pest inspection. He offered many suggestions on improvements but he is careful not to give direct references to service people, citing the conflict of interest. He has a great sense of humor and patiently explains everything, taking as much time as a person needs to understand what he's doing.

Brad was patient when our realtor arrived late to let us in and then performed a thorough home inspection, taking time to answer all our questions and explaining what to look for in the future. For example, he mentioned that our roof was in good shape but may need replacement in a few years, helpful as we create our long-term home improvement plans. I would recommend Brad to anyone.
Description of Work: Performed a complete home inspection including radon and water testing.

Brad arrived on time and completely prepared. He thoroughly inspected the house from top to bottom and made detailed notes about different areas. After he completed the inspection, he brought me around to all the areas that needed work/maintenance and thoroughly explained what he would recommend, in terms that I could understand. He finished up the paperwork while sitting in the driveway so I was able to take all the information with me that afternoon. He wrote very detailed notes on the paperwork and told me not to hesitate to call him if I had questions about anything.
Description of Work: Brad made a home and radon inspection of a house we have placed an offer on.
