Thomas was extremely professional, thorough and informative throughout the inspection process on my commercial investment. He was able to answer any questions I had throughout the inspection and provide effective solutions and resources for the issues that were identified. Would highly recommend Clayton Home Inspection to anyone looking for a detailed home or commercial inspection.

Tom inspected the house we bought last year. He said to let him know if questions ever arise about the house. I reached out to him, and he opened his files and took the time to walk me through how to deal with a complicated issue. He is knowledgeable, asks great questions and gives good advice.
I highly recommend Clayton Home Inspection.

I am a scientist and my wife is an engineer. We relocated to Massachusetts for our work, and choose Clayton Home Inspection for our first house purchase in MA.
I had been disappointed by other home inspectors in the past, missing some pretty obvious issues, but the Clayton Home inspector carefully reviewed every accessible area methodically. The inspector discussed each finding in detail and put together an easy to understand report.
A good home inspection is very important for the older houses typical in MA. I would recommend anyone looking for a home in my area to go with Clayton Home Inspection

Thomas was great! He set my mind at ease right away. In need of a last minute inspection for a refi. I scheduled my inspection within 3 days! He was prompt and very professional. He took his time and checked all areas in and around home relating to our issue. All of my questions and concerns were answered in a way I could understand. Very knowledgeable and patient. Gave us specific remedies to take care of our problem. Most Home inspection companies only perform full home inspections. Thomas did not hesitate to offer his services to inspect the area of our home that was required. He even responded

I used Clayton Home Inspection to help identify the source of our leaky roof. Tom used his drone to inspect the roof, identify the likely culprit and provided a clear video of the inspection. I highly recommend their services.

Thomas is, simply put, a remarkable home inspector. He somehow knew everything--and I do mean everything--about the house we were looking at, allowing us to proceed with eyes wide open. In addition to being extremely professional, friendly, and easy to work with, he was just incredibly knowledgeable. Highly, highly recommend.

Thomas was great! He showed up early to the house to get started on the outside. He explained everything he was seeing and commented on his own mitigation ideas. His report was thorough, and his online Portal made communication and scheduling a breeze! I would highly recommend his services.

I got Tom's contact information from a friend of mine, who highly recommanded him. The experience of us through the whole inspection process gave the same impression. Tom is very knowledgeable and pays attention to very details, a bunch of things we never notice until he pointed out to us, he also shared a lot of information in regarding to the heating system and appliance usage, very helpful in the long run. I will highly recommand Tom too, five star profession

Tom was very punctual and kind. This was my first time home-purchasing inspection and he walked me through the details of how to maintain a home. Answered all my dumb questions in very kind manner. His input to the home inspection seemed to be insisting on very high standard, which gave more confidence on the inspection report.

I was very lucky to hire Tom to inspect the house I was interested in. We had to get the house inspected very promptly and, fortunately, Tom had an opening for us within 48 hours, on a Saturday afternoon. We found Tom very knowledgeable (you can't beat 40 years of experience in this business!) He treated the house as if he was the buyer, so he made sure to address every potential issue. Tom also gave us great recommendations on how to make the house more energy efficient. He was very professional and pleasant to talk to. The inspection report arrived within 24 hours. Highly recommend!
