Pro-Tech Consultants Home Inspections

Wayne was very knowledge and very professional. If you want it done right, call Wayne.

I’ve had ProTech perform two home inspections for me and I could not have been more satisfied. Very thorough, precise and friendly.

Pro-​Tech Consultants Home Inspections are great — would recommend them to everyone.
Wayne was a pleasure to work with. We hired them for the inspection of our first home so as you imagine we had lots of questions. Wayne put us at ease and answered all my questions. He was there on time and went into detail and explained all the findings. He was very thorough with the inspection process, which took him about 5 hours to complete. He even sent the report to us the same night.
Highly recommended!

I looked at other home inspectors but ultimately chose Pro-​Tech (Wayne) because of his credentials and his expertise according to his site. I was NOT disappointed. He provided EXCEPTIONAL home inspection. He is more expensive than the other inspectors and spends more time, approximately 3.5 to 4 hours, but you will not be disappointed. He is very thorough and provide honest and expert advise which is exactly what I was looking for. I want a thorough and expert advise for my huge investment. Watching him work and talk about the home was not only educational but fun. I feel that I know the home well, know what to budget for, and what repairs to anticipate. I HIGHLY recommend his services.
My sister recently brought a renovated condo and when I told her about my experience with Wayne. She wished that she called him. Her home inspector was not very helpful and praised the aesthetics of the home so much that she and her husband were a little annoyed. She was expecting a thorough expert advise and inspection for her big investment, not gushing compliments. She began to suspect that maybe the builder bribed the inspector. Her inspector took only 2 hours to inspect and costed only half of Pro-​Tech. She got what she paid for which was a poor inspection and little or no expert opinion on her home.
As of this writing, we are continuing to purchase the home. Wayne did find some major and minor issues. We negotiated with the seller, they accepted.
In conclusion, go with Wayne so that you know what you are buying into. You will not regret it.

Wayne was exactly as good as the previous reviews describe. He came recommended by our broker, and I’m so glad we took the advice! Wayne took his time and conducted an incredibly thorough inspection of our home — all while being very personable and professional. Call Wayne today!

We were first time home buyers and bought a very old house so we were super nervous about the inspection part. We are glad that we found Wayne! He spent about 4 hours on the property for a very thorough inspection and was also very patient explaining to us the work he was carrying out and answering our questions. Apparently he paid a lot of attention to our concerns, and we learned a huge amount of knowlege about the house from him! After the inspection he sent us a very detailed and organized report in only several hours with lots of photos and recommendations. BTW, we also managed to negotiate a better deal due to the problems Wayne found out for us. His service is not on the cheap side but worth every dollar. Highly recommended.

Wayne is a communicative, friendly and thoughtful inspector who was very quick preparing the inspection report. During the inspection, he is meticulous, very detail oriented and clearly thorough. It is obvious he takes pride in his work. I would certainly work with Wayne again.
When we were shopping for home inspectors (called three services), he clearly stood out and this was reflected in his service.

If you’re searching and comparing home inspectors, just stop. You’ve found him. I’m the type of guy that looks and looks, calls, chats, compares, weighs options, looks some more, then decides. Basically, I’m picky and obnoxiously thorough. I wish I had just listened to what others had said on here already and contacted Wayne from the get go. Would’ve saved myself the time and headache of doing all of the aforementioned stuff.
The previous posts about his process are all accurate. He’s does what he says he’s going to do, does it well, and is quick with his report. He’ll walk with you, or he’ll walk alone and fill you in. Whichever you prefer. The report is detailed and served us well in negotiating some things into our purchase and sale agreement… and will continue to serve us well after we move in as we know which stuff we need to keep an eye on.
Stop looking. Give him a call!
Thanks Wayne!

This was my first time buying a home and Wayne made the inspection process much less complicated than I have heard that it is. Wayne was very thorough but also made it a point to make sure that I understood all of the information that he was presenting to me.
Wayne began outside and then explained that segment of the inspection before taking a break to document findings. He then checked the basement and the remainder of the house.
Wayne’s finished report was just as thorough as I expected it to be. All of the smallest details were noted. Wayne provided valuable information that helped in my decision regarding whether to move forward with the purchase. I highly recommend Wayne as a home inspector.

Great home inspectors — Wayne thoroughly inspects the home for any potential issues. He really spends the time to explain everything as he goes and answers any questions you have. He also makes recommendations for how to best maintain your new home. Wayne goes above and beyond!
I highly recommend Wayne’s services.

If you are a first time homebuyer and the property that you are buying is not a newly constructed place, I would recommend you to hire Wayne as your home inspector.
I hired Wayne to inspect a small townhouse in Melrose. He was organized and very thorough throughout the whole inspection. He first examined the exterior of the property, then he walked through his findings with us, the goods and bad, with recommendations regarding how a repair should be done to address the found problem. After that he would spend about 10 minutes to document the findings for the inspection report. And then he resumed the inspection in basement and the interior. The whole process took about 3 hours, which I didn’t mind the timespan at all. I went for Pro-​Tech Consultants because I wanted a thorough inspector, so I could know what I was buying in order to protect myself.
The inspection started in the morning, and I received the inspection report around early evening on the same day. The inspection report was very organized, with lots of pictures with arrows to pinpoint the problems. Wayne made it clear that we could call him any time if we have any question regarding the report or the inspection.
Thanks to Wayne who educated me about the problems that he found during the inspection. I realized that the property was embedded with quite a few major repairs along with potential problems. After some serious re-​considerations, I ended up withdrawing the offer. Even though I lost the money on home inspection, I was very happy about what I learn from Wayne throughout the inspection. With Wayne’s tips, I know where to pay attention when the next time I go to open houses.

Wayne did an excellent and very thorough job. He provided us a detailed report about the property, but he also educated about the various parts of the house systems that we were not familiar with during his inspection. We highly recommend his services!

I can not recommend Wayne more highly. We used him twice during our home search and we are so glad we did. He found things other inspectors probably would not have found. And that is because he takes his time. Expect three to four hours for a complete inspection. And I encourage you to follow him into the basement. It’s almost a guarantee he will notice things you would never notice.
In our first inspectiom, he found so many non-​apparent issues that we ultimately decided not to buy the property. My wife and I really feel like we dodged a bullet, saving ourselves tens of thousands of dollars in ongoing repairs had we purchased.
On our second house, we thought it looked so great we almost made ourinspection for reference only. We are so glad we didn’t and we are so glad we used Wayne again. He found things that require seller remediation, and we are now in negotiation. If this doesn’t work out and we get involved in house number three, we will use him again.
Don’t balk at the cost of hiring him. He will cost between 650 – 750. You could pay 300 for someone who will be done in an hour and make your broker happy. And then find problems down the road. Youre then stuck because you made an investment of hundreds of thousands of dollars. Or you could pay a little more for a complete examination by a true professional who is invested in protecting your interests. I go with option two when buying my house.

I used Wayne as an inspector for a place that we were looking to buy in Newton.
Once he got a good look of the place, he walked us through all the things that he noticed, good or bad, in detail, in terms that we could understand. This includes any structural, electrical, mechanical, whether it was up to code or not. I also liked how he knew his stuff, could answer any questions we had and pointed when we should expect to maintain in the upcoming years.
I also found his written review very useful.
All in all, I enjoyed having Wayne inspect our new place and would recommend him to anyone.

We got our new construction inspected by Wayne. He did a through inspection with all checks performed with detail attention. Along the way he explained things which needed to be done, tips for their maintenance schedule and also commented on potentially unsafe spots which I gotten taken care of before closing. He gave a PDF report which had pictures and arrows and all comments he went over with me during inspection. I would definitely recommend him to anyone.

Wayne is a great home inspector. So good, I used him twice!
He was quick to respond to arrange the inspection on short notice. He arrived with all the tools and equipment he needed for the inspection. He was very thorough and made sure to complete every phase of the inspection even though the realtor was sort of hinting that he should rush and finish up.
He explained things very clearly, giving as much or as little detail as I asked for. He followed the plan he explained to me of going outside, then inside structural, then electrical, HVAC, plumbing and eventually room by room. He tested every system, including the furnace in the middle of summer!
He is friendly and seems to really know his stuff. For the first home, he found a few things that we hadn’t learned about from the sellers. Things that would have costed tens of thousands of dollars to fix up. So that deal fell through. On our next house, Wayne found a few items, but nothing major (especially for a 100 year old New England house).
After the inspection he sent a very detailed final report. It has a lot of (probably MA-​mandated) boilerplate, but all of his original content is detailed and helpful. His summary and recommendations were very helpful.
I give Wayne my highest recommendation!

Wayne is a very friendly and patient home inspector. Most importantly he is knowledgable, fair, and unbiased. It felt like Wayne was running a 1 man show — which is a plus since you deal directly with the guy doing the inspection.
The home inspection took about 3 hours to complete. There was plenty of time and opportunity to ask questions and it never felt like the inspection was being rushed. The final report was issued a little over 24 hours after the inspection.
Wayne is very clear in what he is qualified and not qualified to inspect. Given his experience he is still able to give reasonable advice on areas out of scope of a home inspection.
I would recommend Wayne’s services.

I recommend Wayne without reservation. He is methodical and clearly describes what he is inspecting as he moves from area to area across the property. He remains interactive throughout the inspection as well, describing issues, potential issues and answered every oddball question I threw at him. Wayne is also very friendly, has a vast expertise in all areas relating to home ownership, and provided a superb inspection report the same day as the inspection. You can’t go wrong.

Wayne did an amazing job inspecting two homes for us (one we bought, one we didn’t). He does an extremely thorough job and explains everything very clearly in layman’s terms. We later recommended him to the real estate broker we worked with — a real industry vet — and she said she had never seen such a thorough home inspection. I’d recommend Wayne without reservation.

Wayne saved us from getting a house that needed about $ 100K in repairs. He is worth his weight in gold.
Wayne arrived and gave us a brief description of how would conduct the inspection, and then started right in. He came to us with information as he went along, not like the other inspectors where you have to keep asking/​interrupting. He was so friendly, knowledgeable. He found an issue in the foundation, and we were able to arrange to have a structural engineer come the next morning.
That house didn’t work out based on information that he provided, but 2 weeks later he did another inspection for us, and was just as thorough, friendly and knowledgeable as the first time.
His reports are very detailed, including photos and arrows, and pointed out where shutoffs for water, gas, etc are located in the home. He adds a summary at the end, which is helpful on a 48 page report and references the detailed sections earlier in the report.
Wayne is the most professional inspector that I have worked with, and this is house purchase #6 for me.
