Shoveltown Home Inspectors
Shoveltown Home Inspections (SHI) is a 5-Star rated, multi-inspector home inspection firm serving Eastern Massachusetts. Owned and operated by Dean Murphy, SHI was conceived in 2016. Shoveltown’s tagline, “We Dig Deeper, So You Sleep Better”, lays the foundation for all of our inspections. We are driven to find out as much as possible about the homes we inspect.
Dean is extremely knowledgeable and professional. He took the time and care necessary to help me understand the condition of the home that I was buying. I would recommend Dean and Shoveltown Home Inspections to any prospective home buyer.
What a great experience! Dean and Jeff were thorough and professional. They led us through the house, exploring as we went. Their commentary helped us understand the house, how best to maintain it, and what to watch out for. Fantastic value.
We had an excellent experience working with Dean and Mike from Shoveltown Home Inspections. We have worked with other home inspectors in the past that were okay but Shoveltown Home Inspections exceeded our expectations. They were professional, prompt, and very thorough throughout the entire process. We appreciated the ease in scheduling our home inspection and the attention to detail in our final report. We highly recommend this business!
Jeff from Shoveltown did an excellent inspection on short notice. Huge bonus points for doing the inspection during a Nor’easter! Despite the horrible weather, he was on the roof and in the crawlspace, seemingly unaffected by the elements and thoroughly reviewing everything. He thoughtfully answered all my questions during the process and explained things as he went. The documentation he provided was highly detailed, with descriptions, photos, and helpful recommendations. Professional and personable, I highly recommend Jeff and Shoveltown.
We recently purchased a home, and Dean did a post purchase inspection for us. He was extremely knowledgable, through, and personable. The housing market is intense right now. Even if you have to waive your inspection because of bidding wars, I highly recommend having Dean inspect your house. He was able to give us detailed guidance on what we should watch out for in the next few years, and which issues should be fixed right away. He’s also very responsive.
Dean and Foster were extremely knowledgeable and thorough with their inspection, meticulously covering exterior and interior. I felt so much better about the property after their inspection, confident with the home we were aiming to buy and also their suggestions about what to try to get taken care of by the seller. Highly, highly recommend, was very impressed with their work. Very responsive, inspection report detailed with photos that they sent quickly via email, and we were able to simply forward the report to the seller’s agent to send along to the seller.
