Jon Wallace runs this one-person home inspection outfit out of Swampscott, covering residential and commercial properties across Massachusetts and New Hampshire, with radon testing and wood-destroying-organism reports alongside the core inspection. He's a licensed home inspector with a construction and carpentry background, and reviewers keep landing on the same word: thorough. The numbers back that up: 123 Google ratings average five stars, and across the fuller set of 75 rated reviews the tone is overwhelmingly positive, not a handful of outliers. The history runs back to 2021 across three sources, so this reads as a sustained pattern rather than a burst of early reviews from friends. One buyer this spring described Jon checking "every nook and cranny" of the property and handing over what she called "an extremely detailed report" — a description that lines up with the shape of the praise in the older reviews too, even though those older ones can only speak to the general pattern rather than a specific job. The one thing worth flagging is pace, not quality: only one review has posted in the last six months, a slower stretch than the run of activity from 2021 on. That's not a red flag by itself, but it's worth confirming his current availability and report turnaround directly rather than assuming it matches the older reviews. For a buyer who wants someone with a deep, consistent history of careful walk-throughs rather than a rushed once-over, this is a solid call — just confirm scheduling and turnaround for your specific timeline before booking.

Jon was phenomenal to work with! As a first time homeowner he made me feel really comfortable asking all of my questions. He was super knowledgeable and made this process really easy. I wasn't sure what a home inspection would entail but he checked every nook and cranny of the place and provided an extremely detailed report. I would absolutely engage with him again on a future purchase!

We wanted a reputable home inspector to assess our new home after purchase in this crazy MA sellers market, and Wallace Home Inspections was a highly rated service in our area. Meeting and spending a few hours with Jon as he thoroughly examined our home, I can totally see why he is so highly rated. Jon really knows his stuff, he's super respectful of your property and he leaves no stone unturned. He has such a calming aura and on walking into our house he put me immediately at ease. I felt able to tell him all of my worries relating to the most expensive investment of my life. He reassured me in places, agreed with me in others and gave me easily understandable resolutions to the recommendations he made. Walking around with him, I learned things about our property I would never have known otherwise. Overall, the home inspection was an enjoyable experience and the report was available to us with photographs attached on the same day. I'd give 6+ stars if I could. Highly recommended! Give him a call today!

We’ve actually worked with Jon twice now — the first house we were under agreement on ended up falling through, but we were so impressed with his work that we hired him again for our new home. He is extremely thorough, pays attention to every detail, and takes the time to explain things clearly. Jon was responsive, punctual for the inspection, and got the report back to us quickly both times. We feel very confident moving forward with our purchase thanks to his work. Highly recommend him to anyone in need of a reliable home inspector!

Jon did an amazing job on my inspection. He was very thorough, professional, responsive, and quoted me less than any other inspector I considered. Can’t recommend him highly enough.

Jonathan did a great job with our pre-offer inspection for our first home. He was very nice about answering all of our questions and was clearly very knowledgeable. I would definitely recommend him.
