    After placing an offer on a condo, Anthony came to perform an inspection and I learned SO much during the 2 hours I spent with him. He was detailed, thorough, and I could immediately tell he cared about the recommendations he was putting forth. Thank you Anthony for giving me peace of mind on the biggest purchase I've ever made!!

    Phil is incredibly kind, thoughtful, responsive and helpful. I am a house manager in Beacon Hill and called regarding advisement on asbestos pipe insulation. He returned my call promptly, dealt with the poor connection on my end with grace and was inquisitive about my concerns in a thorough and thoughtful way. Instead of insisting on coming out himself and charging for the visit he connected me with his sub contractor that he felt best suited my needs. He then contacted the subcontractor on my behalf and followed up with me the next day to make sure I was able to get in touch with them. He didn’t ask for anything for his time and expertise. I wish I could give them 10 stars and will absolutely be using them in the future as well as would recommend them to anyone looking for an honest, thoughtful and thorough inspector.

    Cannot thank Phil enough for his services. As a first time homebuyer there’s a lot of stressors and unknown. Phil made the whole process a breeze with such helpful advice and getting the report back in a timely manner was crucial for a quick closing. I highly recommend beacon light and will be using them in the future:

    Had a great experience with Phil, he was very thorough and helped explain everything he found during my home inspection as a first time home buyer. Answered all questions and sent the report within 24 hours as promised. Highly recommend.

    Phil was recommended by my agent and he did not disappoint. He was patient, thorough and very kind. As first time home buyers we had no idea what to expect and were a bit nervous. Phil made us feel at ease, took his time with us and explained everything in great detail to my husband, agent and myself to make sure we understood everything. The report we received was fantastic as well. It was detailed and had pictures to go with each item he spoke about. I would definitely work with Phil again if I were to need an inspection in the future he was great. Highly recommend!
