Testimonials
"My husband and I decided to look for a home on Cape Cod once we had our little girl so that we could be close to his parents during the summer months. Not having a lot of extra time given our busy work schedules, we needed to find a house and execute a thorough analysis of the property quickly and effectively. Given our status as new parents, we were most concerned about providing a safe and healthy home for our daughter. I contacted Jim Orphanos based on a recommendation from a local reference I had for home inspectors here in Boston. Jim was outstanding. As a scientist, I am analytical and very comprehensive when doing a weather analysis. Jim worked in the same scientific manner, methodically dissecting every aspect of the property and home we were interested in. He took the time to explain and document every last detail. I have a new found respect for the work of home inspectors--especially when done in the manner that Jim works. He truly makes his work as a home inspector an investigative science. It was like watching an episode of CSI but the "case" was piecing together the history of a home! My husband and I are now confident that our investment on Cape Cod will be a wonderful place for our family to live and grow."

"Choosing the right Inspector was an easy decision, based on Jim’s credentials on his webpage and with the networking recommendations I received in the Falmouth area. I not only received a thorough inspection of the cape home, but also a detailed explanation of items I should maintain or upgrade over time. He is a fair and knowledgeable inspector! Paying extra for his service is well worth it, the final report made me feel comfortable with the investment I was about to close on."

"Without Certified's thoroughness, I would have made a regrettable home purchase... You discovered a major problem that another inspector missed and helped to resolve the issue... I would have been foolish not to use Certified before investing my life savings on the home."
