Tom has done two inspections for us this year. He has been incredibly thorough in pointing out even things that were only a courtesy to us. He is always on time if not early, friendly, and very knowledgeable. Tom takes the time to answer any questions you have. I highly recommend going with him on the journey during the inspection as you will learn so much about how everything works and tips about general matiencene. He has also recommended a few other vendors to us who did not dissappoint. I would not hesitate in recommending Tom to friends and contacts who are looking for a home inspector.

Tom is without a doubt the best inspector that I have ever referred to my clients. His inspections are in depth, informative and professional. He takes the time to answer any and all questions that me or my clients and his reports are returned within a day and are as detailed as you can want. His reports are thorough, easy to read and complete with many pictures to provide visual evidence of the items contained in the report. All of the clients I have ever referred to Tom have had nothing but great things to say about his inspections. He is courteous, professional and completes the inspections in a timely manner. Anyone purchasing a home and doing an inspection, should have someone like Tom representing them.

Tom arrived on time, spent several hours inspecting my new home. He took the time to explain everything to me in a way that I was able to understand. Letting me know what corrective measures need to be done. He was professional, courteous, and very knowledgeable about everything in and on the property. I was extremely impressed by him. He went above and beyond the call of duty and I greatly appreciated him and the time he took to examine the property. Plus his report has clear photos, and goes into detail about everything and is easy to read and understand. I could not have made a better choice, than I did with Beacon and Tom Hauswirth.
Thank you again.
- E.G., March 2016
I'm so happy that we researched home inspectors and found Thomas. I have to say, he went above and beyond at our home inspection. We are looking to purchase a 1900 Victorian and he took us through every single component of the house very professionally. He answered all of our questions we had. If we ever need another inspection, Thomas will be the only one we call. Thank you for being so knowledgeable! His home inspection reports are fully detailed and will be valuable over the life of the home. They are amazing and you won't be disappointed!

It was quite an experiance going through 2 inspections as a seller and a few days later as a buyer! I selected Tom based on his thouroughness at my house. He was very helpful to us as first time condo buyers
- N.H., March 2013
I thought Tom was professional, prompt courteous, thorough and overall very helpful in what can be a very complicated process. I liked his demeanor, presentation, knowledge and communication. His knowledge was broad and deep. He was able to illucidate great deal of detail with every aspect of the property and was able to explain it all in great detail. The presentation of the report is precise, detailed and very accesible being web-based. I like the built-in capability to create .pdf's and to email the report as needed. Working with Tom was by far the best and easiest part of the purchase process for me. A big thanks to Tom for such a great job!

Needless to say I was very impressed
- D.S., May 2011
You hear about the horror stories with home inspections and the inspectors used. Being a first time home buyer, we wanted to find a inspector that was honest and thorough not trying to pull the wool over our eyes. Even though this is our first inspection that was ever done Tom is the best inspector, period. If you are still reading reviews, save yourself time and just hire him IMMEDIATLY. Not only does he KNOW what he is talking about, but he is patient, friendly and answers all your questions. But most importantly, he does a VERY THOROUGH INSPECTION. He inspected EVERY INCH of the house - tried every window, door, faucet, and fan. He left no stone unturned and frankly, we will never trust another home to another inspector. Tom loves his job and it shows. He has competitive pricing and saved us a bundle!!! Even though we didn't go with the house that he did inspect because of the things that were found during his inspection he is highly recommended, you will not be disappointed.
- S.A., Windsor Locks CT, April 2011
My husband and I are first time home buyers. After our home inspection with Tom, we feel like we have a thorough inside and out knowledge of the home we are purchasing and therefore a little more peace about the home buying process! Everything about Tom's home inspection, from his method of inspecting and teaching to his business philosophy to his reporting style, was of the highest quality! Surely a better inspector does not exist in the state of Connecticut!
- J.N., April 2011
Great job! Tom explained every aspect of the house inspection. He is incredibly thorough. Would highly recommend Beacon Inspections to anyone.
- M.C., March 2011

- D.S., January 2011
