We had a fantastic experience working with John on our home inspection. Being a first time home buyer, John took the time to explain everything he was looking for during each part of the inspection, as well as the rationale for why a repair might be required in certain areas. Thank you John!

John was great to work with on the day of the Inspection. He arrived promptly and was very detailed in his inspection of our new Home. He answered all the questions I had with great detail. The report that he provided after the inspection is a great asset. It has incredible details and great pictures to go along with the report.
Shut out to Sheila as well! She was extremely pleasant to speak with while scheduling and communicative throughout the entire inspection process. John and Sheila were very accommodating for scheduling and that was very appreciative.
I HIGHLY Recommend Barber Home Inspections for all of your Home Inspection needs!

John Barber is a true professional. He performs a detailed inspection with pictures and explains any concerns that he encounters in a comprehensive report. We highly recommend his inspection for the benefit and protection for a home buyer and/or seller. Definitely one of the best in his industry.

John was very knowledgeable, super attentive to detail, and gave my girlfriend and I confidence in making the biggest purchase of our lives much less intimidating.
A few months back we made it all the way to a home inspection on a house up in NH. I felt like I was showing the inspectors issues and pointing out things that should have been in the report. This was not the case with John at all. I would bring things up that I thought were important, and John was already 1 step ahead of me, as the issue was already in the report! This happened multiple times and it was super assuring and refreshing to have someone on our side.
Thank you John and Sheila for the help! We will definitely be in touch on our next endeavor!

John was so detailed and patient with us. We left feeling like we really understood all aspects of our home and what we needed to follow-up on. It was detailed, but not overwhelming because the report was so organized. Thank you so much!!!

John was incredibly thorough and friendly. He explained everything to me as we systematically went through all floors of the home including basement, attic, crawl space under front porch and GOD love him, the ROOF (I didn't go up there). The report was easy to understand and all the pictures will come in handy when explaining necessary repair to contractors. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend John Barber and Barber Home Inspection to anyone.

John was INCREDIBLE! As a first time home buyer things are quite overwhelming. Throughout the inspection John took the time to show my husband and I what he was doing, suggestions for fixing things and reassuring us that there is never a perfect home. John was knowledgeable and honest while being completely thorough. On short notice Sheila was able to schedule us within our time frame and answered several calls from me as I was nervous about the process. TEN stars, a million kudos and two thumbs up are not enough to express how AMAZING John and Sheila were! Highly recommend to anyone looking for a thorough and honest inspection.

John Barber did a wonderful and thorough job on the inspection of our Hingham home! He spent 2-3 hours at the home and looked at it from top to bottom, inside and out, noting all problems/concerns in a well-documented report with detailed images showing the problem areas. It was the most thorough inspection we have ever received (this is our 4th home). I would highly recommend John Barber!
- S.C., June 2021
I was recommended John through my agent and am glad we went with him! John was very thorough and answered all my questions. He even responded after the inspection when I had an additional question prior to closing. Thanks so much for the great experience.
- E.V., June 2021
John did a thorough job inspecting our new home. He methodically went about each item on each floor; explaining it all to me as we went in a very easy to understand manner. He was very knowledgeable. He even put me at ease with all the ‘little things’ found. I’ve already recommended him to my sister!
- C.T., June 2021
John came highly recommended by my agent. From the time I initially contacted them, through the final inspection report, I was completely satisfied with the level of communication, outreach and thoroughness.

John came highly recommended by my agent. From the time I initially contacted him, through the final inspection report, I was completely satisfied with the level of communication, outreach and thoroughness. At the actual inspection, John took the time to review each of the concerns he found...even if he felt they were trivial. I would absolutely recommend John for anyone looking for a reliable, friendly and knowledgeable inspector.

Well done inspection and he really made an outstanding report with incredible detail!

This is BY FAR the easiest survey I have ever completed...
Sheila answered the phone and could not say enough about how wonderful her husband was at his job!!! He has been in the business for 30+ years and still has a passion for it! I instantly knew this was the team for me!
John arrived right on time for our scheduled inspection! Inspection was to last approximately 2 hours, but John did not go by time...He looked at EVERY square inch of the home...I THINK HE WAS THERE ALMOST 3 HOURS! He was very patient, and took the time to explain everything he was doing. I did not need to write anything down!!! He took care of it all!!!! I received an extensive 144 page report, and there were pictures of everything with arrows and detailed descriptions of any potential problem or issue. He missed NOTHING!!!! I would and will recommend Barber Inspections to EVERYONE!!! I feel truly lucky that of all the inspectors there were to choose from, I ended up with the BEST!!! Thank you for caring about your customer's safety and providing exceptional service!

I liked working with John. He was easy going and informative. Prompt, professional, and good at explaining issues to me.
- J.F., August 2020
Great experience! This was my first home inspection and my friends told me before what to expect, and I am glad that John exceeded those expectations. As a new homeowner, John made sure I did not feel embarrassed with asking any questions. So I made sure I did ask any question about things he said, or things he pointed out to me assuming I knew what they were. If I didn't know, I just asked and he answered, and I felt really glad that I did. He did a thorough job. He was already there when I arrived. It was a townhouse inspection and he did a thorough job. At the end of the inspection, my realtor mentioned about a window issue, and he made sure he that recorded and went back into the house to confirm that he did so nothing was left unnoticed. Highly recommend!!

My partner and I were referred to John and his wife Sheila for our home inspection. John arrived with a warm and welcoming demeanor. He guided us through his process, step-by-step. We walked through the home with him the entire time. He talked us through every step and allowed us to ask as many questions as we wanted/needed. John was honest with us about things that needed to be assessed further, replaced and/or repaired. He also told us about the positive things having to do with the home. He explained the systems in our home to the best of his ability so we can better understand our home and the parts inside and outside of it. John was extremely thorough and professional. His calm, outgoing personality was a breath of fresh air in this stressful process. I am grateful that I found Barber Home Inspections. I trust John fully and I recommend his services to anyone looking to get their home inspected. He will bring his extensive knowledge, tools and kindness to help you with making one of the most important decisions and commitments of your life. The report he sent to us after the inspection was very detailed, with descriptions and pictures. He referred us to professionals for areas that are in need. Everything was explained in a very easy to understand manner. If in the future, we are in need of another inspection, John will be the man we call, without a doubt. We cannot thank him enough for his honesty and professionalism. Choosing an inspector is vital as this is the person who will be able to tell you everything about your new home. I can assure you that John is your best choice for this matter. Thank you Barbers!
