Pro-Tech Consultants Home Inspections

A 5-star rating across 178 Google reviews tells you that Pro-Tech Consultants Home Inspections has satisfied customers, but it doesn't tell you everything that matters. Online reviews reflect past work, not necessarily how a firm handles conflicts of interest or whether inspectors are properly certified. This distinction matters especially in Boston, where older homes (the median was built in 1943) and humid conditions - averaging 73% relative humidity annually - create ideal environments for mold growth. When you're considering a mold inspection, which typically costs $200-$600 in this region, it's worth asking whether your inspector also performs remediation work.

That last point isn't nitpicking. If an inspector who finds mold also profits from fixing it, there's an inherent conflict. Before you call Pro-Tech Consultants Home Inspections or any firm in Boston, ask directly: does this company perform both inspections and remediation? If they do remediation, verify they hold IICRC S520 certification and are registered with Massachusetts' Office of Consumer Affairs as a home improvement contractor. Getting these answers upfront protects you from paying for unnecessary work down the line.
