More than 200 testimonials from clients and real estate agents. All dated so you know they are current, real, and on one inspector, Stephen Gaudet delivering the same high quality service every time.
What you need to know:
* I only perform 1 or 2 inspections a day. Why? They take time, and you receive the report same day. Often low cost inspectors and amateurs try for 3 a day, miss something and get sued.
* Always check for reviews on Google, Yelp and BBB it may save you from making a big mistake that will cost you money.
Testimonials:
As always Steve, you make the inspection process look easy (which, trust me is not always the case). I can not thank you enough for how thorough you are in your inspections but not only that, how you help educate the buyer on the severity of issues. Any home, brand new to 200 years old, is going to have some "issue", but being able to enter a transaction with eyes wide open is the most important thing. This is my fourth time using you and I am looking forward to the fifth. As always, thank you for your help. It is greatly appreciated.

Steve was an absolute pleasure to work with and was extremely thorough with the inspection of the home. Through the use of his experience, or camera and in-depth knowledge I was educated about the house more than I anticipated. and his inspection report was clear and concise and extremely well documented. I would recommend Gaudet inspections to anyone having an inspection done.
Ryan J., Hooksett, 5.30.19
-------------------------------
Steve walked me around and through the house, showing me issues and explaining how to best take care of the house; this is invaluable for a first time home buyer. After the inspection, I felt I knew enough about the positives and negatives of the house to make informed requests for repairs prior to the final closing.
Thanks, Tucker C. , Brookline, 5.22.19

Hi Steve,
Thank you for helping us with the home inspection in Brookline. Not only is Steve extremely thorough when completing his inspection, but he is also very knowledgeable about how to correctly address any findings that he may uncover. The home was inspected at 2pm, and the inspection report was provided later that day. I would recommend Steve to anyone interested in purchasing a home in this area.
Will F. Brookline, 5.14.19
-------------------------------
We were referred to Steve from a friend Kevin D and couldn’t have been more pleased with the inspection. Not only was he thorough, but he explained what he thought was an easy fix or issues that we should be concerned about. Steve definitely took the time to make sure our questions were answered and made us feel at ease with things that were concerning to us.
Dale W. Portsmouth, 5.9.19
-------------------------------
I would highly recommend you. You are very thorough and happy to answer my questions throughout the inspection process.
thanks again! Peter B. Manchester, 5.5.19

This is our first time purchasing a home and Steve was so amazing. He took the time to explain what he was looking for and any concerns to be aware of. He was very detailed and made sure we understood everything. His report was very detailed and easy to read. I would recommend him without hesitation.
My only input is that he needs an EXCELLENT option for the rating system.
Molly P. Derry, 4.6.19
-------------------------------
Excellent home inspector. Professional, funny, thorough. Explains and teaches as he goes through the house. His final report is thorough and easy to understand. We've used him twice and will use him for any inspections we may need in the future.
Ian H. Amherst, 4.6.19
-------------------------------
I just wanted to say I was very impressed with Stephen, very professional and informative. I really felt he was looking out for MY best interests.
Side note.
We backed out of our deal. And are looking into other homes and WILL be using Stephen again in the future. Schedule permitting.
Thank you,
Very satisfied customer
Steve P. Raymond 3.25.19
-------------------------------
Steve was very thorough when he inspected a house for us! He knew what he was doing. He helped explain everything he was looking for and everything he was finding/found. We added a test that we didn’t expect to do and never talked about with the estimate, and he was able to make it happen! He is very prepared. He is extremely nice as well, which was a nice bonus!!
-Chelsie O. Windham 3.14.19

Steve was great as usual. This is the second home inspection I've had him do and he is always very thorough. I recommend him to anyone I know.

Hi Steve,
It was a pleasure meeting you today! Thank you so much for the excellent, very thorough inspection and detailed report on 23 Country Club Dr. The report is extremely thorough, detailed and clear, and the pictures, including the IR scan images are really great. We are now aware of the issues that need to be addressed, especially the safety hazards that need to be taken care of immediately.
Thank you so much also for the very nice tape measure, it’s a really great gift!
Best wishes,

Hello Steve,
It was a pleasure meeting with you today. Thank you for the thorough inspection, your knowledgeable insight, and suggestions. The report document you provided is very well put together and full of so much valuable information. It will serve as not only to help us complete the purchase process but as the house projects bible so to speak so that we can progress towards a very well maintained home. We appreciate your work!
Thank you, Brett G. Rindge, 2.9.19
-------------------------------
We appreciated your thoroughness and how you were willing to educate us along the way in a way that made sense. We also appreciate the meticulousness of your report. Great job!
Thanks, Jon & Nikki N. Salem, 1.30.19

“Steve was extremely responsive prior to my scheduling of his services. He answered all my questions thoroughly and explained the different inspection services available before hand. Our appointment was set quickly and on the day of the inspection he was already on-sight awaiting our arrival. Steve was a wonderful resource and explained every item in great detail. Steve was extremely respectful to both agents as well, I couldn’t say enough good things about his services. I’m grateful he was available for our first home inspection and would only use him again in the future!”
Alison C. Auburn, 1.28.19
-------------------------------
It was great to work with you on our inspection. You were very straightforward about what needs doing and whether it was critical that it be done sooner rather than later. The inspection report was prompt, detailed, and understandable for a first time buyer. I would happily recommend your services to anyone who asks and I'll be back for my next inspection.
- Justin S. Dover, 1.21.19
-------------------------------
I found Steve online, as he was very well rated on Google reviews. He lived up to his name and reputation, providing top notch service. Steve was there well before the inspection, surveying the property and getting a head start on the inspection. His report was clear and concise with pictures to document all his findings. The fact he went back and checked on the roof after the inspection to confirm his findings for me, shows his commitment and loyalty to his customers. Definitely recommend to anyone looking for reliable and thorough home inspector.
Will F. Bedford, 1.14.19
-------------------------------
I would highly recommend Steve for anyone looking to have a thorough inspection. From the moment I called Steve he was very responsive in his communication and was able to schedule an inspection on 3 days advance notice and also get a septic company to come at the same time. Steve was extremely thorough in his inspection at our 3800 square foot home. His report was detailed and was presented in an easy to follow format for those who are not familiar with a lot of the terminology used by contractors and inspectors.

It was a pleasure to meet with you today and to hear that other than a few small issues you found the structure to be well built.
Thank you again,

Steve did an excellent job during our home inspection. He left no stone, window, appliance unexplored! He fit his schedule into ours which happened to be very hectic right after putting an offer down on a house. Corresponding with him by email was quick and thorough. He was able to inspect our house within an extremely short notice! The inspection was timely and the report was exhaustive. This was our first home purchase and I didn't know what to expect during the inspection. I ended up getting everything I needed and more from Steve Gaudet. I recommend him to everyone.
Thanks,
Dakota S. Brentwood, 11.12.18
-------------------------------
I've purchased several properties over the years and have never been satisfied with my previous home inspectors. Often they'll point out minor issues but overlook or attempt to sugarcoat the major problems. Not Steve. He was very detailed, pointing out everything he found and was able to provide advice about preventing or addressing many of the issues. Highly recommend.
Brendan H. Hopkinton, 11.2.18
-------------------------------
Steve is an absolutely great home inspector. I actually had the pleasure of using his services twice. The first house he inspected was a very old home that needed a ton of work. However, Steve's detailed report not only listed what was in need of repair or replacing, but quite often gave suggestions on how to fix it. This was in addition to his explanations on site. We ended not going with the first home because it was just far too much to tackle, but Steve never steered us one way or another, he simply sticks to the facts. The second home was much newer and needed far less attention but Steve still put in the same amount of effort and attention into the newer home as he did with the first. At both homes we had 8:30a appointments and Steve was there at least 30 minutes before we were and began some of the outdoor inspecting just to get a head start and then showed us his finding right away, wasting no time. He always thoroughly answered any questions we had and was very friendly and personable as well. We appreciate Steve's extremely detailed inspection and reporting right down to something as simple as the wrong screws being used in an electrical panel. Who knew? Not us. It is obvious safety and code are very important to him and that's a great feeling to have during an inspection. Thank you Steve for your services and we will surely recommend you to anyone we know in need of an inspection in the future.
Sean K. Manchester, 10.18.18
-------------------------------
Steve is very honest, courteous, knowledgeable, helpful, punctual, .... He came early, inspected everything thoroughly while explaining to us the what, why , how..... He also showed us the benefit of using the thermal camera to check for wall insulation, thermal leaks, appliances, and others. He crawled in the crawl space to inspect it thoroughly and took many pictures to explain his findings. Steve checked and found the roof was repaired poorly, missing tiles and needs rework now. He checked the attic, insulation, electrical, plumbing.... and everything in between. He found small, slow leak under the sink. He explained so well that by the time we finished the inspection we know the property well and have all our questions answered. We found important things that were omitted about the property and it would cost us at least $10,000-$20,000 to fix the symptoms and much more to rebuild it correctly if we bought the property. We decided to back out of the deal. Thank you Steve for saving us tons of money, headache. We definitely call you for our next property.
Shaun & Patrick B. Hampton, 10.16.18
-------------------------------
Steve was great and extremely thorough. I would definitely recommend him to ease the stress of buying a home. He is great at what he does!
-Kathleen J. Goffstown, 10.16.18
-------------------------------
Stephen,
Thank you for your professionalism and knowledge shared with me today. It has without a doubt, helped and, guided us in making a decision moving forward with this process. We will be using again and we look forward to it.
Respectfully, George F., New Boston 10.15.18
------------------------------
Steve, thank you for your very thorough inspection and report. I will be sure to address the most pressing safety issues (the dryer and lint accumulation underneath the house) ASAP and most certainly before closing. Denise also took notes and we can discuss further action when I see her again later this week.
It was a pleasure working with you-- this was money well spent as it will give me peace of mind for the future.
Best regards,

Second home in one month. Very prompt, thorough and professional. Will definitely use him again as I purchase more homes.
Wayne P. Bedford, 9.13.18
-------------------------------
Mr. Gaudet was very easy to schedule with, and showed up promptly on time. He was extremely thorough, free with advice from his experience building and inspecting homes, and responsive to questions. The report we received came quickly, and was incredibly detailed, including photos, and a tiering of the issues into what is of immediate concern, and what is less so. If there is a space Mr. Gaudet will crawl into it, if there is an outlet or light he will test it (electrically AND thermally), and if there is a drawer, he will open it...he is as thorough as can be.
In our case he found major undisclosed issues with both the roof and the electrical systems which ended up requiring over $50,000 in repairs. We are completely satisfied and, should we be in need of similar services again, we will be calling Mr. Gaudet. Highly recommended.
Jason M. Manchester, 9.10.18
-------------------------------
Extremely knowledgeable and thorough, Stephen was quite helpful in educating me about his findings and the various important aspects of my older home's structure. I received his report the very same day, complete with photos, diagrams, and detailed notes. This is an excellent company to deal with and I would not hesitate to recommend Gaudet Inspections.
Kate R. Bedford, 9.10.18
-------------------------------
Steve was spectacular! Loved the variety of shoes he uses for each application to ensure safety and cleanliness of the home he is inspecting. Meticulous at examining each cabinet and corner. Extremely knowledgeable about all aspects of home inspection and construction.
Nancy & Roger D. Londonderry 8.23.18

Hi Steve,
We appreciated your thoroughness and expertise. We are considering putting an offer on a 1600 sq ft condo.
Thanks!
Karen & Bob M. Exeter 8.22.18

Steve was extremely professional We had an inspection that didn't pan out due to condition of the property. He was early to both appointments and provided valuable insight. I understood the property nuances much better.
Rinita & Stephen Z. Exeter 8.22.18
-------------------------------
We had a wonderful experience working with you. We really appreciate how much time you took educating us on everything throughout the inspection. Buying a home can be stressful and full of uncertainties, but your level of thoroughness has helped us feel so much more confident. We will be recommending you to anyone we know who is purchasing a home. Thank you so much!
Thanks,
Kara L. Dover 8.21.17

Steve is a no nonesense business man who really knows his stuff. I’m happy to have used his service for this house and will use him again. Steve also coordinated a septic inspection on my behalf and the Septic service member was also excellent. Very happy with Gaudet Home Inspection.
Peter R. Francestown, 8.7.18
-------------------------------
Steve of Gaudet Home Inspections is one of the nicest, hardworking and extremely well informed professionals I have had the pleasure to hire in my 68 years.
His attention to detail and ability to ferret out house problems as well as features was reassuring to this prospective home buyer. The best part of it all is Steve's policy to have the house buyer walk the property with him as he inspects and provides a running narrative of his findings followed by a detailed written report of those findings substantiated with pictures he took of the areas in question.
All around a highly qualified specialist in his field.
Thanks to Steve Gaudet, I will be secure knowing what I am getting with my purchase.
Barbara A. Kingston, 8.1.18
-------------------------------
Steve Gaudet of Gaudet Home Inspections is thorough inside and out! He breaks down any issues a home might have into very easy to understand terms. His inspection report is detailed and helped me to get even more items repaired than I had asked for! My best friend is also buying a home and she is using Steve's services, too, because she was with me when he did mine and liked what she saw!
Arlene M., Kingston 7/26/18
-------------------------------
For starters a home inspection is not suppose to be easy or problem free... thats the inspectors job to find the problems and Stephen did that.
Awesome Job! I showed up at appointment time, he was there ahead of time and already had the roof and porch of the property surveyed with pictures and full explanation of issues.
Gaudet fully explained problems he discovered during the inspection included estimates he's seen in the past for repairs.
With being a first time home buyer and purchasing a foreclosed property, he used previous inspections to explain the levity of the issue in comparison..
He took the time to coordinate the septic inspection to occur at the same time, easing that extra call off my plate.
I would totally use Gaudet Home Inspections again!
Jared H. Newton, 7.25.18
-------------------------------
I’d definitely recommend Steve Gaudet for home inspections. He was very thorough and explained all items of concern and beyond.
Shelley & Paul W. Bradford, 7.17.18
-------------------------------
I am a first time home buyer and Steve was the first inspector I found after my offer was accepted. I was very satisfied with his timely response to my booking request as well as his thorough explanation of the process as well as pricing. Steve was incredibly thorough and informative throughout the inspection and answered all of our questions. Steve made sure to explain how various home systems work and educate me about regular and preventative maintenance so that I can be a responsible and informed home owner. In addition to his professionalism, Steve was very personable and easy to work with. He even gave me a real tape measure with his name on it in a fancy little gift box so I don't have to borrow one from the office every time I need to measure something anymore! I will happily refer Steve to anyone I know who is in the market for an inspector. Thanks for helping me feel confident about my home purchase!
Katharine L. Weare, 6.27.18
-------------------------------
“I was new to Bedford and am Canadian and had an accepted offer on a house I’ve never seen before, so it was in my best interest to do my due diligence in finding the best inspector out there. It was pretty easy to do, as when I googled it, Steve came up with 66 5 star reviews- mind blowing! So we hired Steve and he was very accommodating and the report was very thorough and we sure appreciated that. An excellent job and we will highly recommend him to all our new, Soon-to-be American friends!”
Thanks, Karen A. Bedford, 6.20.18
-------------------------------
Thanks again for all your hard work today and another job well done on the Inspection. It was super.
Rebecca & kevin S. Hampton Falls, 6.6.18
-------------------------------
Steve's work is unparalleled! HE is the home inspector you NEED!
This is the second time we have used Steve in purchasing a home. The first time it was for a new construction house, this time the home is 15 years old. He is always timely, spot on, and provides quality analysis of each and every accessible inch of the home. It never ceases to amaze me the level of information he provides, the speed at which the report is ready, and the common sense recommendations provided when Steve is making his notes within the report. With the new construction home, Steve helped us feel confident that our builder had, in fact, completed a quality product for us and helped us have information to know what still needed to be done for the project to be complete. For the older home, Steve has saved us thousands in potential repair costs, identifying expensive issues that could become much larger down the road.
Kim & Donovan C. Brentwood, 5.24.18
-------------------------------
Thanks Steve! It was a pleasure to meet you and thank you for your thorough and informative work.
Best, Lindsay S. Hopkinton, 5.23.18
-------------------------------
Steve was a very thorough home inspector and provided helpful tips. The report was clear and easy to understand. I really like the website and the ease to set up an appointment.
Belinda & Stanley K. Auburn, 5.21.18
-------------------------------
Steve was very thorough and informative. Not only did he point out issues and problems during the inspection but he also advised on how they could be resolved and or fixed. Steve was very personable and walked us through the whole inspection process. His report was thoroughly detailed with summaries, photos and descriptions throughout as well as recommendations. Steve's report was instrumental in our negotiations and in our ultimate decision to not purchase the home. I would highly recommend Steve due to his diligence,professionalism and his excellent customer service. You can tell Steve takes pride in what he does which is a rare and valuable commodity theses days. I am sure we will be using Steve again!
Rich H. Hooksett, 5.17.18
-------------------------------
Steve was a very helpful inspector who clearly knows his stuff. His inspection report was provided the day of the inspection and was very thorough and to the point. I like how all issues are summarized at the beginning of the report and include detailed pictures of exactly what he is talking about. Future customers should be reminded to book as far in advance as possible because it seems Steve is a popular guy and may have limited availability.
Kurt N. Bedford, 5.14.18
------------------------------
Steve was very thorough and prepared with all the tools he would need to complete a proper inspection. You could tell he’s been doing this for years and he has the knowledge and experience to not only to look for and see any potential problems, but also explain it back to the customer. His full report was sent to us the same day and it included details of every square inch of the property as well as pictures to illustrate the problem he’s pointing out big or small. Overall, Steven was worth every penny to have that level of professional knowledge and detail put into a house we could be spending years in.
Ryan S. Nashua, 5.3.18
-------------------------------
Steve was great. Very thorough and very knowledgeable!!
Carol T. Loudon, 4.16.18
-------------------------------
Steve is the home inspector you need when you want to get it done right.
I am a first time home buyer with limited knowledge of building and system conditions. I hired Steve twice for my home inspections. There are just so many pitfalls for beginners in the real estate game with a mass of unscrupulous and unethical agents, mortgage brokers, and other characters filling a large space in the market today. I came across plenty in my home search. So when I found homes I liked, I checked the internet and made calls and did the best research effort I could to find a quality home inspector. I found Stephen Gaudet inspections. The first property was a three unit with some curb appeal. Stephen came in with his equipment, including a drone and thermal imaging, and proceeded to diligently inspect with professional acumen, understandable and educational (while doing the inspection, he takes the time and courtesy to educate you about the multitude features throughout the house), articulation of the point of the property that were either positive or required work, and a punctuality and dedication that is rare these days. For the first property, the conditions his inspection revealed led to my decision to back out of a potential financial quagmire-saving me tens of thousands of dollars. He basically saved me from buying a money pit. For the second house, the one I ended up buying, his professional assessment was beyond peer and helped me effectively negotiate with the seller, again saving me thousands of dollars.
I would highly recommend Gaudet Inspections to anyone who is looking for great service, knowlegeble, professional and articulate home inspection.
Jason Q. Concord 3.26.18
-------------------------------
Steve was awesome. He inspected every element of the home and pointed out the significant issues as well as making recommendations on minor flaws. We’ve moved five times in the last 18 years and he was the most competent inspector we’ve used.
I would highly recommend him to any potential buyer!!
James H. Manchester, 3.19.18
-------------------------------
Glad to have a thorough and complete inspection provided by Steve. His attention to detail and education has made the home buying experi nice less stressful. Will recommend to all requiring services.
Jeff P. Londonderry, 3.17.18
-------------------------------
Excellent in taking time to point out minor details, major issues and everything between! Above and beyond! Thank you Steve for doing such a great job!
Scott M. Newmarket, 3.14.18
-------------------------------
Steve's inspection and report was extremely insightful, potentially saving me and my wife thousands of dollars. I was afraid that a snowstorm the night before/morning of our inspection would hinder his ability to check out the property, but he showed up early, threw on his boots and snowshoes, and went to work! Highly, highly recommended.
Garrett C. Jaffery, 3.14.18
-------------------------------
Being from out of state and unable to be present for the inspection I was a little warry. The realtor that we were working with met Steve at the home site and had nothing but good things to say about working with him. She has been in real estate for over 20 years and found Steve to be very thorough. I found his report to be well documented and greatly appreciated the use of modern technology to report on his findings. I will be sure to use his services again the next time we are needing an inspection done on an existing home.
Many Thanks,
Andrew S. Pelham, 2.23.18
-------------------------------
We could not have been happier with our experience with Gaudet Inspections. He made himself available immediately for our inspection. He was friendly, detailed, thorough and a wealth of helpful information. We had our inspection report the same night and he answered all our questions very quickly. We would absolutely reccommend him to anyone seeking inspection services.
Jennifer B. Manchester 2.13.18
-------------------------------
I would recommend Steve for any and all inspections.
Molly N. Merrimack 2.10.18
-------------------------------
I am a first time home buyer and Steve was extremely knowledgeable and willing to share that knowledge. This gave me a much better understanding of what I was purchasing and the report he provides is worth every penny! Thank you, Steve!
Jarrett P. Hooksett. 2.1.18
-------------------------------
Being first time home buyers, naturally my fiance and i were unsure of who to pick as our home inspector. After doing some research, we came upon Gaudet Inspections. Almost all of his reviews were amazing, so we knew he was the guy! Not only was Steve quick to respond, he was also readily available. His professionalism and honesty was shown throughout the entire process. My fiance and i would highly recommend Gaudet Inspections to any future home buyer. Excellect service!
Elizabeth P. Salem, 1.17.18
-------------------------------
Steve was thorough, knowledgeable and timely in his inspection of the house I was planning to buy. I absolutely recommend his services to anyone wanting to learn about the operating condition of their home before purchase. He answers questions, shares his knowledge from his vast experience and documents in precise detail everything he finds. He took care of scheduling the septic inspection for the same day and time and handled the water analysis too. I will certainly call him again before I buy a property.
Dvaid C. Amherst, 1.12.18
-------------------------------
Very, very thorough. Highly recommend. Would use again on next home purchase. Steve approached the property with a fine tooth comb, military precision, and obvious experience which gave us tremendous confidence to move forward with the Home buying process.
Ed S. Manchester, 1.6.18
-------------------------------
Mr. Gaudet was early to the inspection, first of all - a GREAT sign. He was polite, personable, neat, methodical, organized yet took the time to explain things to us. He is excellent with technology and uses current methods. He has worked on both sides of the fence, doing construction as well as now doing inspections, so he knows his stuff. We trusted him implicitly.
Thank you, Steve. Great job. We highly recommend him.
Sincerely, Deb & Jeff T. Londonderry, 1.11.18
-------------------------------
I was a first time home buyer. I hired Steve for two home inspections, both were 100 year old homes. I didn't end up buying the first house he inspected. He was in no way trying to bias my decision on the first house. He just gave a thorough inspection and answered all of my questions. I feel like I was able to make the right decision for me about the first house (not to buy it) because he maintained impartiality. He just provided me with the facts about the house. I learned so much from him on the first inspection, it helped me to be better informed on my subsequent house hunting. I believe it helped me to select my next home. I found him to be professional and knowledgeable so when I went into contract on the second house, hiring him again was a no-brainer. He is also a cool guy and this made going through the home inspection fun! I am now the proud owner of the second home. I would absolutely recommend you hire Steve for your home inspection.
Katherine R. Manchester 12.20.17
-------------------------------
Steve was incredibly thorough in our home inspection. He took the time to really look through everything and was patient in explaining what it meant and what the possible implications might be. Even after the inspection, he answered follow up questions over the phone about things we hadn't thought to ask the day of. His turn around time on the report was unreal- He had our 40+ page report to us in less than 5 hours! He noticed so many small things that I think others would overlook. We feel confident in the inspection and will definitely use him again if we move and will certainly be recommending him to anyone we know buying a house!
Selina & James M.Bow 12.8.17
-------------------------------
We were thrilled with Gaudet Inspections. All our questions were answered and after the inspection we were 100% confident that we were making the right decision about the property. We will definitely use Steve Gaudet in the future.
Thank you!
Ivana C. Hooksett, 12.5.17
-------------------------------
We feel we received a very thorough inspection. Steve is prompt and professional. He took care of the total inspection from waster testing and radon testing to arranging for the septic inspection. Steve gave us very good suggestions on how to approach some of the issues that came up during inspection. He was knowledgeable about the findings whether it was a big expense to fix or something minor but always remained the 'inspector' and left the final decisions up to us. This allowed us to focus on the important issues to address with the seller. All the results were returned to us very quickly and this was much appreciated!
Michell & Erik D. Hollis 11.17.17
-------------------------------
Steve was prompt for appointments and quick to answer questions. He was thorough and knowledgeable. He gave excellent suggestions and was able to help us prioritize items that needed to be addressed. We enjoyed working with him!
Lisa & Rocco M. Manchester, 11.15.17
-------------------------------
Steve was very thorough, knowledgeable, and helpful during the inspection, walking us through each of his recommendations for items that needed repair. We were able to use his report to negotiate repair costs with the seller for the significant issues, and have a ready-made list of home projects for after we move in! Highly recommend.
BJ M. Nottingham 11.14.17
-------------------------------
Thorough and informative, would definitely recommend.
James M. Bow. 11.14.17
-------------------------------
We had an extremely satisfying and very good experience working with Gaudet inspections.
The enthusiasm and detail orientedness while inspecting throughout the whole inspection was awesome. Explaining things while doing inspection and taking time in clarifying any questions we had was good. Responding to our emails for suggestions after inspection is very helpful.
Ravi M. Nashua, 11.1.17

We have recommended you to some friends that are looking for a house also. Thank you very much for a great job!

This was my first time having a home inspection and I could not have been happier with choosing Gaudet Inspections. Steve was prompt and started right away. He is extremely professional and thorough. He was very informative explaining his findings and tips/recommendations. This was helpful for me not having experience with homes.
Ross C. Londonderry, 10.28.17
-------------------------------
Steve was great, he was very thorough throughout the entire inspection and made sure that I understood any issues that he noted. He was able to publish his report to me in a quick period of time. The report was extremely thorough and did not leave any doubt in my mind on what issues should be addressed prior to the closing on my new home!
Thanks,
Rob F. Derry, 10.13.17
--------------------------------
Steve was great during our home inspection of a house which was over 30 years old. He knew right what to look for including all of the trouble spots and his reporting was very through.
Katie L. Merrimack, 10.12.17
--------------------------------
Steve was there right on the dot and inspected everything. During the inspection he was telling me a lot about the things I needed to look for in a new home. It was just his nature to do so and talk about those things. In the end, I had an absolutely thorough inspection report. I couldn't believe the detail he included. Everything was there. The report he provided me was extremely detailed and it was absolutely everything a first time home buyer could ever ask for. It was money well spent for sure! What a great service Steve provided! I couldn't ask for more at all! I would recommend Gaudet Inspections to anyone in the area. 100% If you're buying a home for the first time, call Gaudet Inspections!
Steve D. Manchester, 10.5.17
-------------------------------
Hi Steve,
We were really impressed with the thorough nature of the inspection. It helped us to understand the condition and nature of the property we're buying and brought to light things we wouldn't have noticed on our own.
Thanks again for doing such a great job with our inspection.
Lisa B. Bedford, 10.3.17
-------------------------------
I was extremely happy with the job our inspector, Steve, preformed. He was very thorough and left no stone unturned. The same day he sent us a very detailed report with pictures. We felt confident with his results. I would recommend Gaudet Inspections to anyone.

Steve, Thank You...we bought a house last month and the inspection was a mess...we never even got the roof looked at...you were so very professional and checked all the little details ... I have been through quite a few and have never had such great professional and knowledgeable service... With Gratitude,Jess &Craig H., Manchester, 9.18.17
-------------------------------
I've used Steve 3 times and wouldn't hesitate to use him again. I refer and brag about him to everyone. He does an excellent and thorough job. He's friendly and always willing to help out. A+++ service.
Derek B., Danville, 9.4.17

Steve was knowledgeable and thorough. Thermal camera was pretty cool.
Brett R. Auburn, 8.23.17
-------------------------------
I was very impressed with the quality of the report along with how quickly Steve was able to develop it. Steve was very thorough and took the time to explain all the issues he encountered during the inspection as well as potential solutions.
Ryan D. Concord, 8.21.17
-------------------------------
Hi Steve it was a pleasure working with you. Appreciate all of the advice and the patient methodical walk through of my new home. I have a lot of confidence going into the appraisal process now.
Wade B. Manchester, 8.15.17
-------------------------------
Steve was very thorough and helpful during our inspection. Took the time to walk us through each step and explain items to us that we were unfamiliar with. He was prompt in sending us the inspection when he finished and answered our follow up questions too. Thank you!
Rachel A., Bow, 8.9.17
-------------------------------
Steve took his time and was very thorough with the inspection. He took many pictures and now I feel that if the purchase goes through, I have a very nice punchlist for the less significant issues with the property. Highly recommended. Would rate ‘Excellent’ if it was an option.
Annette M. Bedford, 8.8.17
-------------------------------
Steve was very knowledgeable, professional, efficient and explained everything he was doing and why. He answered all my questions and I felt very confident as a result. Thank you Steve!
Lisa F. Chester, 7.26.17
-------------------------------
Thank you Steve, very pleased with the reports, very detailed. I will definitely recommend you to anyone asking about home inspection.
Ron T. Goffstown, 7.24.17
-------------------------------
I really appreciate your candid approach to house inspection and wanted to thank you. I have advised my sister , whom is a real estate agent with KW out of Bedford and also whom recommended you, how thorough you are. I will also refer you to anyone I cross paths with that needs an inspection. It is not easy in this day and age to find someone whom shows up on time (or early), does the job 100% and believes in customer satisfaction.
Your background was not only very interesting but entertaining as well. Some day I get a big boy Harley, it would be fun to take a ride.
Steve Murphy, Bow, 6.27.17
-------------------------------
The property inspected was built in the 1800's. Steve was extremely thorough and professional. We met for over 2 hours, and felt completely informed. Steve's detailed report was emailed to us the evening of our inspection date. We felt confident in the purchase of the property following his recommendations. Steve was clearly a professional in this field, but also pleasant in all interactions. We highly recommend Gaudet Inspections!
Christopher and Nicole B., Peterborough, 6.26.17
-------------------------------
I appreciated the quality, through inspection. The thermal inspection was a bonus. The final report was very well done and helped us convince a stubborn seller to agree to financial repair concessions.
Thomas F., Weare, 6.24.17
-------------------------------
I appreciate your promptness in getting the report to me (and to Oliver), and your thoroughness and candor in the inspection. You came highly recommended, and I see that this is well-deserved.
Best regards,
Trevor P., Manchester, 6.22.17
-------------------------------
Hi Steve,
Thanks for getting the report over so quickly, and for being so thorough with both the inspection and the report. I appreciate your tips regarding how to treat the report, particularly since we're first time home buyers.
If we have any questions, we'll let you know!
Thanks again,
Rachel & Matt C., Merrimack, 6.15.17
-------------------------------
The home inspection was extremely thorough and professional. Stephen was very helpful in explaining everything he encountered in a way that made sense to us. I will definitely be recommending Gaudet Inspections to anyone I know that is in need of a home inspection.
Kyle P., Concord, 6.7.17
-------------------------------
Steve was great and very knowledgeable!
David L., Merrimack, 6.1.17
-------------------------------
Steve was excellent !! He was very thorough, checked and explained all aspects of the house. He detected a crack in the furnace of the house we were purchasing and helped me save $5000 as a result of it. You can't go wrong with Steve; its money well spent!
Regards, Pradeep P., Windham, 6.2.17
-------------------------------
Very professional and personal. Answered all questions as he did the Inspection. He had a lot of experience and seen alot, therefore he noticed things others would have missed.
Erik D., Hollis, 5.31.17
-------------------------------
I was very happy with my inspection. Very Thorough and I felt I was in good hands and I could continue with the sale of the home in confidence. I have already recommended Steve to some friends who have just made offers on homes!
Kristen R., Salem, 5.23.17
-------------------------------
Put your mind at ease - Steve Gaudet is extremely thorough and committed to exemplary service. As I was out-of-state, Steve contacted my real estate agent to set up the inspection, and I received the report that evening. He then reviewed it with me over the phone until I had a complete understanding of the processes used and the results. I felt totally confident to make an offer on the property and would hire him again without hesitation.
Janice Z. Keene, 5.24.17
-------------------------------
Thank you again for the inspection! It was great meeting you. I'll make sure to look out for you on the bike!
Joe C., Hollis, 5.16.17
-------------------------------
This is the second home I have had Steve inspect for us, and I specifically chose him since he does a through job and is extremely knowledgeable.
I would highly recommend Steve Gaudet to anyone purchasing a home.
Regards,
Michael L., Derry, 5.10.17
-------------------------------
Thanks Steve, awesome report , will use you in future projects , and give your name to others .
Thank You, Rick E. Manchester, 5.9.17
-------------------------------
Thank you so much, Steve! We really appreciate all of your help!
Thanks, Jarrod G. Merrimack, 4.27.17
-------------------------------
Mr. Gaudet,
Thank you for the home inspection. Your proficient and thorough effort will definitely have me recommending you. It was a 5 star service with a punctual start and culminating with a prompt easy to read, very informative report, that was filed within hours of the inspection. You are a knowledgeable and patient adviser and we are glad we chose you to consult with our home purchase.
Jon S. Bedford, 4.13.17
-------------------------------
Steve was very professional and thorough during the home inspection process. His report truly aided in our negotiation process and was very knowledgeable about every facet of the home. Steve provided suggestions on vendors who could assist in making the home a safe and viable place to start our family. Great option for first time home buyers who will have a ton of questions. I would recommend Steve to anyone who is looking for a truly professional, friendly and thorough home inspection. Thank you Steve!
Jon R., 4.10.17
-------------------------------
Stephen, my fiancé Mike and I were greatly impressed and satisfied with your work. You were extremely thorough, helpful, and prompt. We appreciate that you took it upon yourself to start the Radon testing as soon as you could in order for us to get our results faster. We were also greatly impressed with the detail, pictures, and diagrams you provided, and the fact that the report was given to us the same day. We would absolutely, and already have, recommended you to others. Thanks again.
Marisa and Mike D., Manchester, 4.6.17
-------------------------------
Steve is incredibly thorough. He spent all the time we needed to explain to us how things worked. I cannot thank him enough for all of his help.
Erin C., Londonderry, 4.4.17
-------------------------------
Showed up on time and went through the house thoroughly. Infrared is a nice addition and gave some additional insight as to what is in the walls. I was surprised to not see any infrared of windows or comments regarding quality of window seals, good bad or indifferent. Overall I feel comfortable moving forward with the house thanks to the insight provided from the inspection.
Chris S. Mont Vernon, 3.23.17
(Window seals if thermopane are listed as Acceptable, failure would be a lost seal. An inspector can not comment or give an opinion on the quality of one window brand over another. I do not use thermal imaging on windows unless I see a lost seal and can verify what I see. Using IR on windows is tricky because of the sun. Windows will read different temps depending on position of the sun and solar heat. Steve Gaudet)
-------------------------------
My wife and I were extremely impressed with the quality service from Gaudet Inspections. We would rate Gaudet Inspections as 'Excellent' or 'Superior' (the 'Very Good' rating doesn't quite seem to capture it). Steve arrived early to the property and worked on the exterior aspects first. He thoroughly inspected the house, taking lots of photos, including IR imaging. During the inspection, he welcomed questions and provided good suggestions. He was very patient throughout the process. We purchased a home inspection with comprehensive water and radon testing. Steve made arrangements to place the radon monitor and get a water sample two days prior to the home inspection. Our home inspection took place in the afternoon, and Steve was able to furnish a detailed report with pictures (with nice summary sections) later in the evening on the very same day. For anyone needing a home inspection, we highly recommend Gaudet Inspections!
Kengkaj S., Bedford, 3.21.17
-------------------------------
Steve Gaudet did an excellent job for us. We live in CA, were buying a house for our daughter in NH and she was in FL. Steve was our guy on the ground and did an excellent job of inspecting, explaining systems and problems to her fiancé and making us all feel comfortable with buying this house. He provided a detailed report the same day with detailed pictures, explanations and recommendations.
Probably the best moment that tells you what kind of a guy Steve is was when I was watching from my sunny CA home, a blizzard promising up to 3 feet of snow in NH on inspection day. I waited until the night before to call Steve dreading that he might need to postpone and that we wouldn't get the house inspected by our deadline because of the blizzard.
When I asked him if he was still going to inspect the next day, he said "why wouldn't I?" In fact, he had taken the trouble to look over the roof, exterior of the house, and anything that might be masked by feet of snow when he set the radon test three days earlier. He delivered, but also thought ahead to make sure he got everything inspected. That's impressive and much appreciated because he knew we had deadlines and a decision to make about buying a house based on his inspection. I recommend using Steve, he did a tip top job!
Pam S. Nottingham, 3.14.17
-------------------------------
Thank you for your thorough work. And now we have confidence that we made a good decision to buy this home. Also, as a first-time home buyer, we learnt a lot of knowledge/information about home ownership during the inspection process. I would definitely recommend you to my friends.
Have a great weekend!
Yilin J., Windham, 3.7.17
-------------------------------
This is the second time I've hired Steve to conduct a home inspection on a potential purchase. This experience was just as smooth as the first. I've been in the first home for a little under three years with zero issues missed on the original home inspection. Steve's attention to detail, knowledge of the various systems/ codes and realistic assessment of how large of a financial problem an issue may pose is a skill set that I would definitely recommend leveraging. Reports are written in depth, are professional and are delivered promptly. He arrives on time, puts in the necessary hours to truly understand the issues the house may exhibit, but does not nitpick over cosmetic non-functional details. I would recommend the services of Gaudet Home Inspection without reservation.
Mark F., New Boston, 3.1.17
-------------------------------
We couldn't be happier with the services that we received from Steve and Gaudet Inspections. We have used Steve twice now. He is extremely thorough, professional, and knowledgeable. The first time Steve helped us avoid making a huge mistake purchasing a property that had disaster written all over it. The second time Steve made us feel confident in our purchase decision. He meticulously inspected all aspects of the property, pointed out things we missed, and advised on several issues. I would not purchase a home now or in the future without Steve looking at it first.
Katherine C., Franklin, 2.11.17
-------------------------------
Very thankful to work with Steve. He was very professional and produced a very through report and gave great perspective of things to consider when buying this property. Thank you very much Steve and you will be recommended to prospective home buyers.
James P., Bedford, 2.10.17
-------------------------------
First time buying a house and Steve made us feel very comfortable. Answered our many many questions, thoroughly checked everything, and quick to respond. Highly recommend!
Liz S. Thank you Steve!!!!!!! Great experience 🙂 , Nashua, 2.1.17
-------------------------------
Thanks Steve.
Very impressed with this report.
You do great work - we'll see you again soon at the next one.
All the best,
Katherine C., Gilford, 1.9.17
(client walked away from the home purchase due to structural issues found early, Steve G)
-------------------------------
Would recommend - Very good. Everything was perfect from start to finish!
J.Z. Gilford, 1.3.17
-------------------------------
From start to finish, Steve did exactly what he said he would. He returned my original email seeking a quote within an hour and I had my inspection booked soon after--including radon and septic. He arrived on time and was professional throughout. Steve encouraged questions and left no stone unturned. By day's end, I had a 40-page report emailed to me! I would recommend Steve to anyone who wants the true story of what they're buying.
Thanks Steve!,
Michael S., Somersworth, 12.1.16
-------------------------------
The experience with Gaudet Home Inspections was by far the best I've ever had. Stephen was very thorough, very informative, and very complete in his inspection of our new home. Stephen spent more time on this inspection than the past 2 home inspections I've been through combined! Stephen's report was very detailed and delivered extremely fast. Stephen informed us of a problem that we may not have noticed, saving us thousands of dollars- not to mention preventing a huge headache.
Thank you Stephen! Ryan and Janice L. - Tilton, 11.29.16
-------------------------------
This was a very useful and informative inspection. The report is great to have as a list of things that need to be fixed or repaired.
Thank You, Daniel L., Manchester, 11.22.16,
-------------------------------
Steve did a great job on our inspection. He is very knowledgeable and was great at walking us through any issues we came across and what we needed to do to fix them. We received the inspection report FAST. It was very well put together and easy to read. I will recommend Gaudet inspections to everyone I know looking for a top notch home inspector!
Thank you again!
Danielle T., Rochester 11.17.16
-------------------------------
We were very pleased with Steve's experience and his attention to detail. He explained everything to us. We would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a home inspection. '
Diane & Francis L., Merrimack, 11.10.16
-------------------------------
Wow! I wish I had you as my home inspector for my 1st house 11 years ago!!!
Great report!!! Thank you.
Eugenia C., Londonderry, 11.10.16
-------------------------------
Steve performed a very detailed and thorough inspection recently for us. I couldn't be happier with his results and report he wrote the night of. He explained everything and has a special thermal camera which help with his report. I highly recommend using Gaudet Inspections when buying a home.
Matthew M., Manchester, 11.7.16
-------------------------------
It's been over 15 years since I bought my last house. I do not remember having someone be so thorough with the inspection. When my agent gave me a list of names, I was overwhelmed, but researched all the names just the same. I landed on Gaudet because there seemed to be a lot of experience, and he had several certifications that I did not notice on the others websites. To me, having an updated online presence helps me, the consumer, so that i can make an informed decision. It tells me the business doesn't just want to get the job done. They want to get it done right, the first time. Steve is signing his name to the inspection, I suspect he wants to have a good reputation and repeat business or word of mouth business. I was impressed, he really does crawl around, he has his knee pads and his box of equipment. He went down into the crawl space under the house. (ewe - thanks for doing that Steve) He opens things up and moves things around, checks all sockets and fixtures. He turns things on, turns things off. I liked that. He found potential issues that could cost me down the line. That to me was worth every penny. I received my report that evening and my agent was able to act on it immediately. His report was thorough, clear and had pictures to back up his assessments. Highly recommend Gaudet Inspections.
Michelle C., Concord, 10.27.16
-------------------------------
Absolutely would recommend to a friend/colleague- very thorough and willing to provide clarification/answer any questions. The written report is very thorough and provides sufficient written explanations and photographic evidence to support assessment.
Thank you! Ryan F., Milford, 10.25.16
-------------------------------
We would highly recommend you and overall rating is excellent thank you so much for your help.
Thanks Gerry and Linda O., Manchester, 10.21.16
-------------------------------
Steve was very professional and thorough during the home inspection process. His report truly aided in our negotiation process and was very knowledgeable about every facet of the home. Steve provided suggestions on vendors who could assist in making the home a safe and viable place to start our family. Great option for first time home buyers who will have a ton of questions. I would recommend Steve to anyone who is looking for a truly professional, friendly and thorough home inspection. Thank you Steve!
Jon R., Hudson, 10.20.16
-------------------------------
Excellent service, communication and timeliness. The thorough inspection results were available quickly and allowed me to address issues with the sellers and get them resolved.
Bruce S. Derry, 10.12.16
-------------------------------
Was very good to work with Steve on my prospective home inspection. Steve is a true professional from start to finish. Very through job. Very readable report. I would recommend Steve to family and friends whenever they require Home inspection Services.
Joseph P., Mason, 10.4.16
-------------------------------
Absolutely excellent experience. Scheduling through the website was a breeze, with extremely quick turn around on a response. Happy with all levels of service -- arrived early, extremely thorough with good advice, personable, same day report (!), quick responses to questions afterwards. Report was superb with detailed descriptions, pictures, and very organized layout. Gaudet Inspections is the first home inspection company I've ever encountered that uses thermal imaging as part of the inspection process. Would highly recommend to all future home buyers.
June C., Bedford, 10.3.16
-------------------------------
I was very satisfied with the service I received. You were on time, thorough, and prompt with the final report. I would work with you again in the purchase of my next home.
Thanks!
Lisa L., Amherst, 8.29.16
-------------------------------
Very informative. Considerate. Early for the job, and stayed as long as it took to check every inch of the house thoroughly.
Would definitely use you again for inspections. And recommend to others.
Nicholas A., Londonderry, 9.27.16
-------------------------------
Stephen was punctual and showed up to the appointment early. We felt the inspection was very thorough. He walked us through each system as he was inspecting it and discussed what we needed to do to maintain the systems. Stephen was personable and was a joy to work with. If we need another inspection in the future we would be happy to choose Gaudet Inspections again.
Richard L., Loudon, 9.27.16
-------------------------------
Steve did a thorough inspection on what could be inspected. The property is a foreclosure and the furnace could not be turned on as well as water. Steve still looked over the oil tank, valves and pipes. Informed me of all his findings as well as added potential problems in his report with evidence to back it up.
Steve will make suggestions on grading of property as well as diverting water from foundation and provide pictures of what he has discussed with you to use. His report was a lengthy report with pictures to back up the findings. He will also point out things in the house that are good and why they are a cost savings to you. He explains the immediate fixes needed and why. Things that can be fixed in time.
Steve informs you as the buyer and supports his findings with evidence both with pictures and literature. Steve has a great personality and he told me I would have the report that night and I certainly did.
Cheryl M., Pembroke, 9.26.16
-------------------------------
You did very thorough inspection and explained any potential findings and concerns. I think that FLIR camera pictures make it more then just an inspector's opinion.
It was a pleasure working with you.
Thank you,
Svetlana U., Hooksett, 9.15.16
-------------------------------
Mr. Gaudetwas extremely professional and very thorough. He explained each item that he was inspecting and improved our understanding of potential issues. He was very prompt in meeting us at the time upon which we had agreed and in sending us the report on the same day as the inspection. Again the report was very thorough with photos of each of the items with potential issues. I would highly recommend Mr. Gaudet's services to others.
Brenda G., Manchester, 9.16.16
-------------------------------
Steve is absolutely phenomenal. Just yesterday, I was in a place where all of you reading this are currently. You don't know who to pick, and there are tons of options. Steve did my home inspection this morning and I couldn't be happier I chose him. He was there early, explained everything very thoroughly, and provided an outstanding report to reference with images, comments, and arrows pointing to what he is talking about. A home inspection is vital, and having an inspector at Steve's caliber is even more important. He didn't leave any stone unturned and now I feel that I can confidently make a decision and/or renegotiate.
Ryan A., Nashua, 9.14.16
-------------------------------
Hello Steve. Thanks so much for sending this home inspection. It was a pleasure meeting you.
Debra C., Manchester, 9.7.16
-------------------------------
Hi Steve,
We are very impressed with the inspection. You were very thorough during the inspection and provided a great report that included pictures of all the issues you found. You are very knowledgeable and provided great insight for us and how we can address issues and save money in the future.
Thank you! Channy and Shane B., Hollis, 9.6.16
-------------------------------
I believe my family and i received a quality service for the money spent. we are going to continue moving forward with the purchase of the inspected property, but thanks to your services performed we have been able to negotiate a reasonable amount of credits towards repairs, we simply would not have had the exposure with out your insight, careful inspection and ability to demonstrate the shortcomings in easy to understand terms.
Keith R., Stratham, 8.29.16
-------------------------------
We were very pleased with the inspection. You were very nice and professional. Also, very thorough with the inspection, and gave a very detailed report with pictures and arrows that was very easy to read. We would highly recommend you to anyone. You were a referral from a friend, and we were very satisfied.
Thank you! Alissa T., Salem, 8.25.16
-------------------------------
Steve came highly recommended and was incredibly thorough. As first time home buyers, we felt confident that Steve found the issues and his recommendations were spot on. We would recommend Steve for any of your inspection needs!
Elizabeth & Philippe C., Nashua, 8.25.16
-------------------------------
We appreciated Steve's home inspection for many reasons. He was punctual, efficient with our time and his, and thorough. He took time to explain what he was doing, why it was important, and how to remedy certain issues. I would recommend Gaudet Inspections to any prospective home buyer.
Meghan P., Bedford, 8.23.16
-------------------------------
Hi Steve, thank you for a thorough inspection of the property In Milford, It was very informative and will highly recommend your company to everyone I meet.
Sharon M., Milford, 8.4.16
-------------------------------
I appreciate the effort put forth. Thank You for pointing out the spots I would have clearly missed. You've been a big help and I look forward to working and recommending you in the future. Ride safe.
Daniel S., Londonderry, 8.3.16
-------------------------------
Steve arrived on-time and performed the inspection professionally. The IR monitor of water temperature is very useful to check operation of water heater.
Siyuan Z., Bedford, 7.26.16
-------------------------------
We were very happy with your services and would recommend you.
Joan Longley, Hollis, 7.20.16
-------------------------------
Steve was thorough and very informative throughout the inspection. Answers provided came from a background of understanding and not just a shoot-from-the-hip response just to have an answer. When I didn't understand something, he was able to explain it gave context on why or why not something is an issue. Was very happy with this inspection.
John C., Manchester, 7.20.16
-------------------------------
I was extremely impressed how involved the inspection was. Everything that could be checked was,including appliances! Even though we didn't end up buying,we were made aware of issues that were we didn't see ,very expensive issues. I would definitely use Steve again for a inspection and I think you would have a difficult time finding such a thorough inspector at such a reasonable price!
Chris R, Manchester, 7.12.16
-------------------------------
“Did a fantastic job, very expansive report with pictures. Explained everything as we went though the property. HIGHLY recommend!”
Ashley & Chris M., Chester, 7.5.16
-------------------------------
Thank you, Steve. Very thorough and quick!
Thank you so much again for coming out to Durham to do this for us. We would highly recommend you, if you're ever in need of that kind of endorsement from customers/clients.
Hope you get to take time to enjoy the long weekend.
Michele C., Durham, 6.30.16
--------------------------------
Steve was very thorough. He explained everything that he was doing and what he was looking for. Steve even made recommendations on future repairs and manufacturers to avoid. The final report was even more detailed than the walk thru. Highly recommended,
Peter M., Merrimack, 6.22.16
-------------------------------
Very pleased with our experience. Through use of his IR camera, Steve was able to locate an area of the house not connected to heat and also that the hot water coil in the boiler required repair. This led to our ability to negotiate a significant amount of money back at closing; money we would have had to pay ourselves for repairs had we gone with a different inspector and only learned of these issues after moving in.
Thank you Steve. I hope that we’re not in the market for a new house any time soon, but if we are you’ll be someone we look to.
Michael A., Litchfield, 6.16.16
-------------------------------
We were very impressed with Gaudet Inspections for our pre-purchase home inspection, Stephen was very thorough in his inspection. Explained every minor,major and possible issue. Provided helpful suggestions for upkeep to the home. Full report was provided same day, easy to understand fully detailed with items/issues categorized for ease. We couldn't be more happy with our choice on a home inspector and will definitely recommend to others!
Bianca W., Concord, 6.14.16
-------------------------------
Steve did a thorough job. His advice was very helpful relative to items discovered during the inspection. He was knowledgeable, very professional, courteous and a good guy all around.
G.McL., Thanks Mate, A job well done, Bow, 6.13.16
-------------------------------
Thanks Steve - once again, great job! Read report and understand everything.
Paul R., Hampton, 6.9.16
-------------------------------
You covered everything really well, and I thought you did a thorough job. The report you sent with pictures and explanations on what should be fixed is great. Thanks, Steve!
Jonathan H, Nashua, 6.7.16
-------------------------------
This is our second time using Mr. Gaudet's services. We cannot recommend him more highly. He is incredibly thorough and presents all his findings in well laid out easy to interpret reports. He is also quick to respond with answers to any questions or concerns you may have. Exceptional work!
Steven & Tracy L., Pembroke, 6.6.16
-------------------------------
Thank you Steve for doing such a thorough job at both properties for us. I appreciate the time you spent explaining as you went along and answering all of our questions. I feel confident that we have the knowledge needed to make informed decisions on such an important purchase!
Melissa & John B., Manchester, 6.6.16
-------------------------------
My first impression with Gaudet inspections was that Steve showed up on time and was very professional. Steve was very knowledgeable about the different types on concerns for homes in the area, while also having some recommendations for who you can talk to or what to do in order to alleviate some of the issues. Throughout the entire inspection, Steve walked me through everything he was seeing (regardless that all this info would be in the report) in order to make sure I was aware of the issues in the home. We are very glad we used Steve as some significant issues were exposed that lead to the request for more in-depth inspections to be completed on specific items, ensuring we had all the information we could get about the home. I would gladly recommend Gaudet Inspections to anyone who is looking for a thorough inspections with a good quality report to provide to the seller as evidence of existing issues. Thanks again Steve!

This is our second time working with Gaudet home inspections and Steve is always professional and thorough. We are pleased with the efficiency of sending us our report and respect all the detail he includes. Thanks again Steve for your work and help!
Jill & Mike D., Manchester, 5.26.16
-------------------------------
We have used Steve several times now and have been pleased every time. He is extremely thorough and offers an expert, objective opinion on the homes we have had inspected. I will continue to use Steve for any home inspection that we need. His quality of work is well above the competition.
Craig S., Chester, 5.23.16
-------------------------------
Steve was recommended to me my my Realtor as one of the most thorough and well respected inspectors in the area. I was able to easily schedule an appointment through Gaudet Inspections website. Steve exceeded all of my expectations I had for the inspection of a circa 1736 4200sf house that looked great to me from my initial walk through.Steve was able to perform electronic radon testing ahead of scheduled inspection date with his own equipment (no sending out samples to a lab) and even took care of scheduling septic inspection for me on same day as home inspection. Steve was able to uncover and explain in very clear detail many potentially VERY expensive repairs that would be needed if I purchased the property. (This is why you hire a professional inspector). There was no question in my mind that I needed to walk away from the sale after spending nearly 4 hours walking side by side with Steve throughout the property. Steve is there to present the facts and to provide guidance as to what might need to be done to repair defects. I was completely blown away by the 62 page electronic report complete with photos of everything that needed to be addressed. I received the report by email same day! I could not have asked for a more comprehensive inspection and I really feel as though Steve saved me $429,900 in purchase price and probably well over $100,000 in repairs that would have been needed. I haven't even mentioned that Steve also brings along his FLIR infrared camera to check inside walls, heating system, roof, etc for thermal loss or gain (at no extra charge!). This was the best money I could have spent for peace of mind knowing that I had all of the information I needed to either move forward or back out of the sale. I am totally impressed with Steve's professionalism, honest, no nonsense approach and his ability to clearly explain to a potential homeowner in simple, understandable terms what the issues were. Steve won't tell you whether or not to buy the house, but he will provide you with more than enough information to base your final decision on. I know that my decision to hire Steve and to eventually walk away were absolutely the right decisions for me. I have already told my coworkers and customers how impressed I was with Steve and will look forward to having him inspect future properties for me. I will recommend him to anyone I come across who needs a home inspection. There is a reason Steve only gets 5 star reviews- check out his website, you won't be disappointed!
Thanks again,
Peter C., Amherst, 5.18.16

“Steve was extremely professional, very knowledgeable, and was very thorough with our inspection. I would recommend him 100% to anyone needing a home inspection.”
April & Robert T., Merrimack, 5.11.16
-------------------------------
Steve, I can’t thank you enough for pointing out the issues on the house. The report was very detailed and the contractors are giving me quotes just by looking at the images and what you wrote down on the report.
Very satisfied with the results!
Elvis G., Atkinson, 5.5.16
(All my reports have pictures of the defects found. In some cases more than 100+ photos. SG)
-------------------------------
Steve was very thorough & knowledgeable in the inspection. He answered any questions that we had and gave us advice on fixing certain areas. His prices came in a little lower than other competitors in the area as well. I would highly recommend him and if need be will use him again in the future. Thanks again Steve!
Cade & Audra W., Brentwood, 5.4.16
-------------------------------
Steve, I thought that you were very thorough, and I especially appreciated it when you explained what you were doing and what the issues were with various inspections.
Thanks! W. Burns F., Hollis, 4.27.16
-------------------------------
I would highly recommend Gaudet Inspections to anyone. Steve was thorough, detailed, professional and attentive to our time and questions. Throughout the inspection he didn't just point out issues, he explained them. At no point did it feel like he was rushing to finish. Steve was able to save us thousands of dollars with his inspection, and there is no doubt that we will be contacting him to perform any inspections we do in the future.
Ryan H., Londonderry, 4.26.16
-------------------------------
This is the second home that I have asked Steve to inspect. He has done a great job on both occasions. He is very professional and will answer any questions. He is honest and trustworthy. He is available to answer any questions even days after the inspection has been completed.
Cheryl I., Bedford, 4.18.16
-------------------------------
Very Very thorough! Highly recommend! Thanks Steve!
Kelly W,, Salem, 4.13.16
-------------------------------
I recently hired Steve to inspect a house in NH. I live in Mass and I don't know anyone up there. I selected him based off of his reviews. I don't usually write reviews unless I am extremely impressed. Steve was top notch. If you are searching for someone to inspect your home. STOP. Pick up the phone and call Steve. This is his business and he is a professional. I followed him through the inspection. He was extremely thorough. He was there before the start time. Very personable and I could tell he enjoyed answering my questions. Purchasing a house is a big deal. You need good people around you who are looking out for you. I felt Steve was working for me and my family and protecting my best interest. Highly recommend.
Jess C., Windham, 3.30.16
-------------------------------
Steve was very thorough and professional. I feel very comfortable moving into my new home knowing Steve inspected the property. I would most certainly recommend Steve to anyone in the market for a home inspection.
Billy A., Nashua, 3.29.16

From Angie's List
Steve was amazing! First he was extremely thorough during our home inspection, had lots of tips/pointers/suggestions in addition to the actual inspection itself (i.e. using the public library to access consumer reports to find out the best of various categories of home-related items; avoiding particular companies based on past bad experience, etc). But even before we'd cut him a check or met him for the inspection, he went above and beyond due to our tight timeline. He was able to collect water sample and place radon tests at the property the weekend before our inspection and managed to squeeze us in a day earlier than originally planned so that we would have plenty of time to go back to our sellers with any issues uncovered during inspection. Then, on the day of the inspection, due to my miscommunication with him we were going to be short on the septic inspection (which he usually coordinates). However, he was able to make a phone call to the company (Kent Clean Septic) and get someone out the same day for us to complete the septic inspection. So even though it was my fault we didn't have the septic inspection lined up as I thought we did, he was able to help us out.
I can't say enough great things about Steve's inspection and would certainly recommend him to anybody looking for a home inspection in the area. Extremely knowledgeable, thorough and helpful all around! Whenever we buy our next home we would certainly call Steve again!
Michele Y., Bow, 3.23.16
-------------------------------
I interviewed several house inspectors and selected Gaudet Inspections. It ended up being a great decision as Steve is very knowledgeable, extremely through and highly professional. He went to the site days before the actual inspection to set up the Radon detector. During the inspection, Steve took time to clearly explain to me what he was looking for at each step of the way; what I needed to be concerned about; and what not to worry about. That same day Gaudet Inspections provided a 40-page written report, complete with color and infrared photos. I offer my highest endorsement of Gaudet Inspections and intend to use them again.
Jeff B., 3.22.16, Amherst
-------------------------------
Thank You Steve, I like the way you work and especially the report you issued.
Thanks again. Ed D., Manchester, 3.21.16
-------------------------------
I really liked how thorough you were with the inspection and how you took the time to show my husband and I what you were looking for and how you were doing it as well as answering all the questions from us. You pointed out things we needed to know in the future with the house and how to operate things. We felt very comfortable leaving that inspection as well as after seeing the inspection report. It was very detailed.
Thanks again
Stacey & Korey T., 3.14.16, Raymond
-------------------------------
I would recommend Steve. He was very good. He explained everything to me and completed the write up quickly and thoroughly. After his inspection I am able to go forward with buying my house with the comfort that it is safe. Thanks Steve!
Heather L., 3.11.16, Nashua
-------------------------------
Steve was very professional and insightful. He provided a detailed and informative inspection of the house. I would absolutely recommend his services to anyone in need of a home inspection.
Chris B. 3.7.16, Nashua
-------------------------------
The report was well written and identified multiple problem areas that allowed us to renegotiate our original offer to the owner, We are grateful for the valuable feedback that saved us money and grief.
Edward P., Bedford, 3.7.16
-------------------------------
I called Steve with a very tight timeline request for a weekend appointment - and he made it happen. He was extremely professional and thorough. He pointed out everything - nothing is too minor to discuss. He also takes plenty of pictures and sends over a report full of pictures and annotations. He saved me thousands on home repairs! Also, when repairs where made by seller, he graciously offered to go back and review the modifications -again on a weekend. If you are looking for a home inspector in Southern New Hampshire, Steve Gaudet is the man!
Thank you Steve! Brian B., Bedford, 3.4.16
-------------------------------
Working with Steve was an overall great experience, and his inspection report was so thorough in all areas of the home. He really make me feel confident that I knew every little detail of the home I was buying, including things that I would likely never know without the use of his infrared camera. He was flexible when it came to coordinating times for the inspection and I received the report very promptly. All my questions during the process were answered quickly. The pictures that accompanied the inspection made it easy to understand what part of the house, even to a small detail, he was describing. I'm very glad that I decided to invest in the inspection, and that Steve was the one that performed it.
Shelley B., Salem, 3.2.16
-------------------------------
I appreciated the professionalism and matter of fact responses during the inspection process. I also enjoyed the personal touch the inspector offered with regards to conversations during the inspection process... as the inspector related stories and experiences that were relevant to what we were discussing - pertaining to the different problems that can crop up in older homes..
Thanks! Phil V., Brookline, 2.26.16
-------------------------------
(comments posted on Agnie's List, one of many)
The price included the full home inspection plus radon air testing (which was a separate add-on that I added). He also did thermal / infrared scan of the entire place.
Member Comments: Steve was great, he accommodated my schedule on short notice and did a very thorough job! He even took the time to explain different things to me, as this is my first time owning a home and I don't know much about things like heating systems or where all the water and gas valves are. 🙂 I was very grateful he took the time to give me a mini lesson on these things as he went through the inspection.
I found Gaudet Home Inspections on yelp and went with him based on all of the positive reviews and I am very glad I did. I would highly recommend him to anyone needing an inspection!!
Alice B., Nashua, 2.20.16
-------------------------------
It's easy to understand how you come so highly recommended you work is thorough and professional. Enjoyed meeting and working with you!
Gene T., 2.17.15, Lyndeborough
-------------------------------
Awesome service, great detail. Thank you so much. I highly recommend you.
Joyce S., Salem, 2.12.16
-------------------------------
Steve provided a service that was simply top-notch.. I've had bad experiences with home inspectors in the past. This included quickly going through the property and missing major issues that resulted in large expenses I had not budgeted for.. Not the case with Steve - I feel that I truly got my money's worth. Steve went through all areas of the home with care and attention to detail. He also made recommendations outside of the inspection that I absolutely appreciated!
Wayne D., Amherst, 2.5.16
-------------------------------
I thought you were very very thorough and I was impressed that you send the report that evening. You know your stuff and even though I had to withdraw from my contract due to the permit and zoning fubar, I will call you again for the next property on which I make an offer.
Thanks Michelle S., 2.2.16, Manchester
-------------------------------
Steve has done inspection for me twice. He is thorough, knowledgeable, fast turn report, report is e-mailed to me same day of the inspection. He provides not only superb service, but also professionalism. I will definitely hire him again or recommend him to my friends.
Yang Z., Hollis, 2.3.16
-------------------------------
Steve did a very thorough inspection over three hours and documented every little detail both in writing and with pictures. He explained each finding in an easy to understand manner. By far the best inspector I have ever hired. A+
Brian B., Bedford, 1.28.16
-------------------------------
Steve was absolutely wonderful! He was extremely thorough and answered all of my questions effectively. Hands down one of the best people to work with. Highly recommended.
-Ashley S., Concord, 1.21.16
-------------------------------
Thank you, Steve. I appreciate your thoroughness and expertise.
Paula C., Hooksett, 1.20.16
-------------------------------
Great experience. We appreciate your candor and the explanations of the issues and non-issues that you found throughout the inspection. As someone who values punctuality, it was refreshing to be able to start on time, if not a few minutes early. We were impressed that you were ready with your observations when we arrived a few minutes prior to the scheduled time.
Thanks again for your help! Kate K., Hooksett, 1.15.16
-------------------------------
“Steve was thorough and professional. He gave me complete explanations for each finding and ensured that I understood everything. I highly recommend him!”
Kelly P., Salem, 1.15.16
-------------------------------
Thanks for the timely turn around on the home inspection report, it is appreciated. I find the report to be well done, to the point, and clearly indicating what is acceptable and what components needs attention and why. The report will allow me to address the concerns noted, in a timely manner with the owners.
Paul R., Kensington, 1.12.16
-------------------------------
Steve was very thorough in his inspection, taking numerous pictures and finding issues that we definitely would not have uncovered on our own. The thermal imaging he uses is extremely helpful as well, and the final report was impressively returned to us same day.
Kevin V., Amherst, 1.9.16
-------------------------------
Hello Steve,
Thanks for your thorough report. No questions pop in mind for now but if they do, I'll let you know.
Thanks, Marnix V., Concord, 12.12.15
-------------------------------
Hi Steve,
Thank you again for doing a great job with the home inspection. I appreciate you getting the report so quickly back to me.
Josh B., Dover, 12.8.15
-------------------------------
Very thorough inspection of entire house. Explanations and advise were given throughout the process. I would highly recommend Steve Gaudet to anybody in need of a home inspection.
Ross H., Nashua, 12.2.15
-------------------------------
Thank you for the excellent, prompt and comprehensive report.
We enjoyed meeting with you.
Joseph A., Merrimack, 11.16.15
-------------------------------
I was away on business during this entire inspection. Being on the other side of our country and feeling helplessly lost,Steve was able to remove my fear. His communication via e mail with questions and solutions was incredible. I am in a customer service business and Gaudet Home Inspections has it figured out!
Thank you so much for an excellent experience
Mark H., Dunbarton, 11.7.15
-------------------------------
I was very satisfied with the service I received from Gaudet Inspections. This was my first experience in purchasing a home, and Steve made me feel comfortable to ask as many questions as I needed. He was very thorough and organized. Highly recommend!
Brianna M. W., 11.2.15
-------------------------------
Your attention to detail was remarkable. No matter how small a potential issue was, you not only brought it up but described how to fix said problems.
During the inspection you also shared your opinion on ways to improve different aspects of the home. I thought this was fantastic because you brought to light many improvements I wouldn't have thought of on my own which i now plan on doing to the home over time.
Thank you, Ben M., Derry, 10.26.15
-------------------------------
Hi Steve,
I would like to thank you for doing such an excellent job in our inspection on Tuesday. In brief, our last home inspection was done by a man who came highly recommended by our Realtor. He was clearly working for her to make the sale, because we were years repairing hidden nightmares that should have been detected in our inspection. I have withdrawn my offer on the house due to the number of specialists that needed to make repairs. I spent the day yesterday trying to find people to come in and give me estimates and finally threw in the towel! Thank you again I will be in touch when I find another home.
Sally E., Manchester 10.27.15
-------------------------------
I had a wonderful experience with Gaudet inspections. Steve was incredibly thorough and meticulous. As a young first-time homebuyer who will be living alone, Steve made sure that I understood the ins and outs of the home, understood how everything worked and made sure that I prioritized certain maintenance items once I've moved in. It was a wonderful experience and I very highly recommend him for any home inspection.
Jennifer D., Derry, 10.26.15
-------------------------------
I was very pleased with the professionalism of Gaudet Inspections. He went through absolutely everything and took the time to explain it all to me. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking to purchase a home. He pointed out things I would have never even noticed. The report is very thorough and easy to understand. Thanks again for everything Steve!
Tiffany S., Weare, 10.22.15
-------------------------------
Steve inspected my house on October 2015 and made an amazing job! He took time to check everything, explaining me most of the small problems we found. He even gave me tips about how to solve them. He also use his ladder to reach the roof and walk on it, checking the chimney top and the flue. Steve made everything he could, in the limit of what he's allowed as an inspector, to provide the most thorough inspection. I also liked that the thermal imaging is included by default with the inspection, not only it's good to check the insulation but we also detected that the water was too hot. The final report was delivered on the same day, as promised, and was very detailed with tons of pictures and recommendations. Steve is a great professional with a strong ethic, and a very friendly man. Would totally recommend if you need a house inspection.
Vincent L. Exeter, 10.21.15
-------------------------------
In a pinch and with extremely short notice, I searched around for home inspection services in NH and by the grace of God I stumbled upon Gaudet Inspections. Steven was very professional and thorough in his explanation of the services provided and what's recommended based on the property and location of the property. Prices are very fair and comparable to other home inspection services in the area, but what you get for the money can't be matched by others.
Once inspection time came around, Steven was very thorough with his inspection (saw things that I never would've thought about). He explains, in detail, what he sees, how it affects the home, what his concerns are and what steps need to be taken to remedy any issues. He uses an IR (Infrared) Camera during his inspection and, I'll tell you, that thing is cool (saw other reviews on it and it's worth the mention). It shows things about the home that the naked eye can't see. Home inspection reports are very detailed with crystal clear, vivid images of everything he explains/suggests.
Overall, I would absolutely recommend Gaudet Inspections to family and friends. I plan on using Gaudet Inspections again for whatever properties I look to purchase in the future. Thank you for everything that you've done, as you've made a first-timer feel pretty comfortable with something so nerve-racking.
Will T., Manchester, NH 10.13.15
-------------------------------
I want to thank you very much! You are definitely top notch and I truly appreciated your attention to detail! Thanks for all your help with the property and as well for the detailed report that accompanied.
Thanks again! Steven D., Raymond, 10.12.15
-------------------------------
Excellent inspection. Steve was professional and thorough, providing me with education regarding each step of the home inspection process. Steve is incredibly knowledgeable and patient, able to answer any question you have. No need to worry as to what you're jumping into with your home purchase. Radon inspection report and home inspection report came back timely and exactly the feedback I was looking for to move forward in the home buying process.
Lindsay P., Hudson, 10.16.15
-------------------------------
Steve came highly recommended as being very thorough and knowledgeable in his field. Throughout my entire home inspection, I was impressed with his expertise, timeliness, attention to detail, friendly demeanor, and most of all the level of service he provided. His willingness to answer questions, as well as make invaluable recommendations made the overall experience a pleasant one. The final Gaudet Home Inspection report was very detailed and instrumental in helping me make key decisions with the purchase of my home.
Steve is wonderful and I would highly recommend him to any new home owner. It would be a disservice for you and your family to go with another company to save a little money. In the end, the investment was well worth the price.
Christie L., Manchester, 10.15.15
-------------------------------
The inspection was great. Steve checked every inch of the house and wrote up a detailed report with suggestions on how to fix anything that was wrong. He also gave us suggestions on upkeep and how to maintain systems in the house. He did not mind us asking many many questions and seemed happy to give us answers. This was our second inspection with Mr. Gaudet and, no doubt, I would choose him again if I needed another inspection.
Kristine H., Deerfield, 10.6.15
-------------------------------
Steve has a very calming demeanor. His testing is systematic and thorough and all the while, provides feedback on his findings. He explains everything in layman terms and is never hesitant to answer any questions. He also is willing to provide advice on the efficiency of all systems he checks and the life expectancy of each. He arrives early to inspect the outside and does a thorough check for the structure. I was very comfortable with him and very appreciative of his excellent service. His inspection lasted 1-1/2 hrs. I received his report within the same day - it was very thorough with photographs and suggestions for improvements. His fee is within range and is on the lower scale of other inspectors. Well worth the investment. Thank you Steve!
Deirdre M., Concord 9.30.15
-------------------------------
Excellent work. Explained everything well as problems were found. I would highly recommend Steve to anyone who really wants to know the condition of home you looking to purchase. He found thousands in repairs that we would have overlooked!! It really helped us make an informed decision.
Thanks Steve.
Ken G. Epping 9.26.15
-------------------------------
Extremely thorough inspection and report and very easy to understand. Steve explained things well in layman terms as he inspected the property so I will know what to expect and how to address issues that may arise when I take occupancy. Very impressed with the attention to and level of detail.
Holly H., Manchester 9.22.15
-------------------------------
Gaudet Inspections did an extremely thorough job. I've been renting a home for almost 10 years and was considering its purchase. I thought I knew what was wrong with the property and was prepared to invest. Steve found structural flaws that would cost a small fortune in time and money to repair. I never realized the damage and costly repairs that were present. I'm grateful that I hired him. His report was clear and concise with detailed pictures too. The infrared showed the positives and the negatives. I learned a valuable lesson---always get an inspection and I recommend Gaudet Inspections.
Vinnie S., Concord, 9.17.15
-------------------------------
Steve was very thorough and pointed out many things that I missed in my original walkthrough. I thought I had a pretty good handle on what I was buying and considered not doing the inspection but I was glad that I did.
Colby B. Raymond, 9.10.15
-------------------------------
Gaudet Inspections performed an inspection on a townhome that I am purchasing. Mr. Gaudet was very thorough and explained each step as he was conducting the inspection. He was more than happy to answer any questions that I had. I would highly recommend his service if you are having a home inspection. I'd be more than happy to be a reference for Gaudet Inspections.
Maureen S. Londonderry, 9.8.2015
-------------------------------
Steve was great to deal with. He showed up on time and was very professional, thorough and knowledgeable. He took the time to answer questions and even offered suggestions along the way. We are very happy with the services we received, thank you Steve!
Brenda W., Sandown, 9.9.15
-------------------------------
Steve was excellent, his meticulous attention to detail allowed us to move forward with a sense of comfort knowing what we'd be dealing with. Going with Gaudet Inspections was definitely one of our best decisions of the home buying process. Steve was courteous, knowledgeable and explained everything during the walk through, a true professional.
Robert J., Sandown, 9.3.15
-------------------------------
Hi Steve,
You did a fantastic job as usual and the owners have addressed all of the issues you suggested in your report. Thank you.
Thank you again for the thorough report. I certainly have benefited from the things you found and my knowledge of the new property has been enhanced by the report. I now feel comfortable moving ahead with this purchase.
I really wish I had known of you when my daughter was buying her first home.
Best regards,
Linda W., Milford 8.25.15
( I inspected Linda's home she was selling. Then inspected her purchase on a for sale by owner.)
-------------------------------
My last home inspection was 9 years ago, took about an hour, Steve spent over 2 hours doing this home inspection, giving valuable advice along the way as to what were minor problems and how to address them in the future, he found 2 major flaws, which I asked the seller to address, which they agreed to, to the amount of $3,000, a great trade-off to the inspection costs, would highly recommend Steve's service to friends and family.
John S., Manchester, 8.24.15
-------------------------------
Very professional company Stephen was early for our appointment, he was very thorough. I really liked that I could ask question seeing that this is my first experience buying. He had answers to all of my questions. I also really liked that he gave helpful suggestions like installing ceiling fans. I would absolutely recommend Gaudet inspections to everyone I know and when we buy again down the road I will use this company again.
Thank you for everything,
Justin T. C., Pembroke, 8.24.15
-------------------------------
I highly recommend Stephen Gaudet to anyone looking for an in-depth home inspection. Stephen was so thorough and professional that I have already started giving his contact information to people that I know! He is very thoughtful in his inspection and points out both positives and negatives. The infrared camera he utilized was a fantastic way to see how energy efficient the house was, and helped us see where the house was loosing heat. Stephen is "with the times" and uses current technology in his home inspections and created a very in depth but easy to understand report on what needs to be addressed with the house. My wife and I actually used the report to negotiate a lower price, and succeeded. I can not thank Stephen enough and would hire him again in a heart beat. Thank you!
Jon-Ross G., 8.18.15, Belmont
-------------------------------
Great experience. We were really happy with your service and your thoroughness. We would definitely recommend you and use your services again in the future,
Dorothy & Dominic L., Amherst, 8.17.15
-------------------------------
We could not believe how thorough your inspection was!!!! You even washed the dishes in the dish washer to evaluate the noise level and if any leaks were present.
Recommend to future clients not to release home inspection waiver until they have studied your written report.
Joseph D., Nashua, 8.12.15
-------------------------------
Steve is extremely professional. He is meticulous and has impressive attention to detail. He conducts the inspections as if he is the one purchasing the property.
Joe M., Goffstown, 8.12.15
-------------------------------
Steve was very friendly and helpful and made my experience as a first time home buyer all the better. His knowledge along with the way he explains things really helped me get an understanding of the inspection.
Scott A., Manchester, 8.5.15
-------------------------------
I really enjoyed working with Steve. He was very knowledgeable and was very thorough with the house inspection. Not only did he inspect the house, but also gave me recommendations on how to maintain different utilities during their down-time (AC Compressor during Winter time, Gas Fireplace during Summer time...). His report was very detailed and helpful as it included plenty of comments, and pictures from his regular camera and thermal camera. He was able to install the radon test measurement a couple days prior to the home inspection, that way the radon results were ready during the home inspection. I highly recommend Steve for your home inspection!
Thanks Steve!
Emile D., Salem, 8.4.15
-------------------------------
Sir, I wanted to thank you for inspecting our new home. Our realtor had suggested that I follow you during the inspection to make sure that you didn't miss anything that I thought was a concern. After watching you conduct your inspection for a few minutes I realized that you knew your job very well and were meticulous about how you went about doing it and that you would not miss anything. i would and will highly recommend you to anyone that asks for me recommendation. I intend on using your inspection report to make sure that all of the areas of concern are attended to. Thank you again for a very thorough, professional job.
Sincerely, Michael and Susan B., Hooksett, 8.3.15
-------------------------------
Very friendly, knowledgeable and professional service!
Maria C., Allenstown, 7.31.15
-------------------------------
Extremely thorough, professional, and knowledgeable. I would highly recommend you, and absolutely use you again.
Clara L., Bow, 7.28.15
-------------------------------
I was very satisfied! I would definitely recommend you to everyone and already have. The next house I find I plan to use you again.
Chris D., Salem, 7.28.15
-------------------------------
Hi Steve,
I would definitely recommend your service to a friend or a colleague or anyone for that matter. Your service was outstanding and thorough.
Thank you very much and I might probably need you some time soon,
Abate M., 7.23.15, N Hampton
-------------------------------
Steve Gaudet did a great job. He was very thorough and professional. He found some issues that were concerning in our case and we feel grateful that we hired him
Kristine & Robert H., 7.22.15, Deerfield
-------------------------------
I was very please with Gaudet Inspections. He was on time and handled all the arrangements. He coordinated my home, septic and radon test for the day of the inspection. He gave us tips on repairing items he found during the inspections. His final report was very well detailed with explanations of his findings with facts/recommendations.
Dave B., 7.22.15, Salem
-------------------------------
Steve is extremely knowledgeable and would take the time to explain potential issues and how to even fix the simple repairs. He took his time and did a very thorough job. Steve has equipment and experience that is a gold standard. Buying a home is a huge investment and people should NOT skimp out on just an average inspection. I would highly recommend Steve!
- Mark H., 7.20.15, Kingston
-------------------------------
Steve- I already recommended your service to a friend . It was excellent. You not only did a very thorough inspection, but also gave me helpful hints about keeping the house in good condition. Thank you again!
Kathy K., 7.16.15, E. Kingston
-------------------------------
"This was our second time using Gaudet Inspections, and Steve continues to exceed expectations. He is professional and dependable: confirms to let you know he'll be there and then shows up early to not keep you waiting; he is thorough and detailed: you never have to worry if you forget something he mentions because his book of a report you receive after is layout with all suggestions, comments, and pictures; and he is friendly and easy to work with: there really is no one better to use when purchasing your next home! You will be completely satisfied with Gaudet Inspections should you chose them for your next inspection, we can guarantee it! "

Thank you! Pleasure meeting you. Hope you had a great 4th! Report looks great. Appreciate the extra attention to detail in the report and shared with me in person. I learned a lot. I may have some follow-up questions, but right now i'm waiting to hear back from sellers on what i've requested they address... wish us luck!
Kind regards,
Steve M., 7.2.15, Hudson

Very thorough. Had a wealth of experience and knowledge and was clearly there to do a job and did not sugarcoat anything.

Thanks Steve. I walked away from the deal due to the issues we found. I'll be getting a hold of you again for the next one which will hopefully be soon. I hope the bike trip was good.

Stephen was professional and thorough during his inspection. I highly recommend using Gaudet Home Inspections.

Steve,
I would absolutely recommend you to anyone who is in need of a home inspection. I am overall very satisfied with your service. You were very thorough in your inspection, gave a detailed report, and gave some great advise on how to correct some of the problems we saw. If I had to find something to improve upon, I would say it is the communication. It was tough to book an appointment initially. I had filled out the form online, then spent 2 days leaving voice messages and emails before I was able to get in touch and book the appointment. It sounds like that may not normally be the case though. Regardless, I would still recommend you highly to friends in need of a home inspection
Andrew F., 6.26.15, Manchester

Steve performed a thorough and detailed inspection of the full property, arriving onsite prior to the scheduled appointment, and taking a full three hours to inspect the 3100 square foot property. Combining knowledge of the building code with high-tech instruments such as a FLIR infrared thermometer, he pointed out each system that was functioning properly, as well as those in need of repair or replacement. I received a full PDF report the same night containing digital photos, IR photos, and annotations of building code. The cost of the inspection was higher than previous inspections I have had performed, but I consider it a worthwhile investment and a small fraction of the purchase price of a house.
Tyler D., 6.23.15, Amherst
-------------------------------
Gaudet Inspections was a breath of fresh air. Steve is very knowledgeable and thorough throughout the entire inspection process.
I work in a trades related industry and have seen all types of contractors, Steve is a reputable and valuable resource to assist in the home buying process.
I had two different types of inspectors at our potential home and their fields overlapped somewhat. Steve had found and noted items that were not mentioned and or investigated by the other inspector which was great.
Steve was very personable and explained everything as he went along, his detailed report is extremely helpful and informative to both the seller and the buyer. Having purchased previous homes and had other inspection services come in, I put Gaudet at the top of the bunch. I certainly would recommend his services to anyone who inquires or needs a reputable inspector.
Joel E., 6.22.15, Exeter
-------------------------------
Steve was on-time for the appointment. He was thorough and explained everything as he was going through the house. He found numerous issues with the house we would not have known about otherwise and this helped us to make a better-informed decision on our home purchase.
Andrew D. 6.17.15, Bow
-------------------------------
I thought you were very professional and thorough. I appreciate the time you took to point things out and explain them to me. I also appreciate your maintenance tips, which were also included in your inspection report. The inspection report was laid out in a way I could easily understand and refer to in the future.
Trina D., 6.17.15, Manchester
-------------------------------
Overall great experience for very nervous first time homebuyers. Steve was punctual and took the time to explain to us What his recommendations were. He left no stone unturned and answered all questions asked. Definitely felt at ease by the end of his inspection.
I would recommend him in a heartbeat!
Leniol J 6.8.15, Manchester
-------------------------------
I have had experience with 3 other inspection companies in the past and was not impressed with any of them. I didn't necessarily have high hopes with you, but afterwards I thought it was a good choice and would use you again in the future if needed.
Thanks, Kerry 6.8.15, Merrimack
-------------------------------
Steve started on time, which was important because I was taking time off from work to be there. He was very thorough, stopping to show me things as a first time home buyer, and to explain how things could affect the home later on. The only suggestion I have would be to separate better the “must be done”s from the “should be done”s and add a page for the “if this was my house” part of the inspection. Steve is personable, the charge for the inspection is reasonable and in keeping with area averages. I should point out that Steve found a leak we had;t seen on walk through, and found one that was not readily apparent, which could save me thousands of dollars, either in the price of the house or from spending money I wasn’t planning on to fix a problem no one saw.
THANK YOU! - Peter G. 6.5.15, Rochester
-------------------------------
Steve was very professional. He answered our questions promptly before the date of the inspection. Showed up early for the inspection. Was helpful in providing suggestions for small fixes in the home during the inspection. Provided a detailed report within 24 hours of the completion of the inspection.
I wanted to make sure we had an inspector that was not going to sugar coat any issues. With an investment of this magnitude it is worth the money up front to have a clear understanding of the home’s condition.
Robert P., 5.28.15, Bedford
-------------------------------
Steve found two moisture spots the the mold inspector missed. Mold test came back very high 1200 limit is 300. We now a a good location as to where the mold is.
James M., 5.27.15, Hooksett
-------------------------------
Steve was very professional and thorough with our inspection. We were in the process of purchasing the house as a private sale and the seller wanted to be there for the inspection. Steve answered not just all of our questions and concerns but took extra time to answer any of the sellers questions and concerns. His report was very helpful for both parties to come to a positive conclusion.
Thanks Steve

I will absolutely recommend you! Very professional, thorough as well as knowledgeable.

Morning Steve,
Just wanted to say thank you for going over my inspection thoroughly with me on the house yesterday. Your report is very detailed and will be helpful in addressing the issues. If I can think of any concerns or questions I'll definitely call.
Thanks, Michael C., 5.20.15, Hillsborough
-------------------------------
Hi Steve,
Thank you for getting those reports back to us so quickly. We enjoyed meeting you the other day and appreciated your thorough inspection.
Thanks,
Keri & Devin M., 5.12.15, Manchester
-------------------------------
Mr. Gaudet was extremely professional and very thorough. His inspection went above and beyond my expectations and made previous inspectors I have worked with look like amateurs. I was more than impressed that Steve turned his phone off for the entire inspection so there would be no distractions, that’s something that is just unheard of nowadays. On top of all that, his price for the 2,200sq. ft. home was more than reasonable and well worth it. 10/10, would recommend to ANYONE considering buying a home.
Paul D. 5.6.15, Boscawen
-------------------------------
Hi Steve,
Thank you for sending the report. We appreciate the thorough inspection you did yesterday!
Kacie & Lloyd E., 5.8.15, Brookline
-------------------------------
Stephen is amazingly thorough! Anyone who really wants to know exactly what’s going on with the home they are considering purchasing should look no further. If I need another inspection, or if anyone asks for my advice of who to use, I will be sure to tell them to give Gaudet Inspections a call. Just make sure you call ASAP because Stephen is usually booking 2 weeks out. That shows you how great he is!!
Thanks,
Britt A., 5.7.15, Bow
-------------------------------
Thank you so much for a thorough inspection. It was a wonderful experience for my first time!
Thanks,
Becca K. 5.8.15, Concord

Very professional job, very detailed reports. Everything done in time. It is very important for time sensitive service.
Thank you
Iryna, Alex T., 5.4.15, Bow
-------------------------------
Stephen was very informative and extremely thorough, he pointed out many things that even the trained eye would be able to miss and was patient and professional and answered all of our questions and as first time homebuyers we had many. I would highly recommend Stephen anyone looking for a home inspection. We will definitely be using him again.
Shannon and Mike G. 4.28.15, Pelham
-------------------------------
We were very pleased with Steve and felt we learned quite a few things, both about the property and general info about how things are supposed to work.
Nancy M. 4.23.15, Manchester
-------------------------------
Thank you Steve for being a professional in what you do. Character, Honesty,and fairness goes a long way. I strive myself for those qualities. From here forward I will recommend and exclusively ask for your services. Easy to speak with plus you make sure your customer understands your process. Your reports are lengthy and thorough.
Thank you
Frank L.4.15.15, Weare
-------------------------------
I thought your service was excellent, thorough, and accurate. I would definitely refer you to a friend and use you again in the future.
Thank you,
Patrick M., 4.14.15 Bedford
-------------------------------
Thank you and well done.
Darlene C., 4.6.15, Hopkinton
-------------------------------
Thank you Steve,
We have actually decided to walk away from the house in Bedford.
There were too many things that needed repair that we felt uncomfortable with especially given the price of the home.
We look forward to working with you again when we find our next home.
Adrian and Ken N. 3.30.15, Bedford
-------------------------------
Very professional, very thorough services. Steve was very courteous, knowledgeable, and willing to answer any questions and explain any findings. Highly, highly recommended.
v/r,
Gene B. 3.26.15, Nashua
-------------------------------
Steve,
Thank you for your services!
Your thorough and detailed inspection, combined with the comprehensive report (provided quickly I might add), allowed us to make an educated decision on whether or not to move forward on the purchase of the home that we were looking at.
In this particular case, your findings confirmed many things that we had suspected. After calculating the costs of work necessary to remedy some of the issues, it ultimately led to us retracting our offer to purchase the property.
Thank you again for your professionalism, and we hope to be able to utilize your services again when we find another home.
Sincerely,
Robert G. 3.19.15, Newport

My experience with Gaudet Inspections was very good. I was having an inspection on a old 4 unit home and the inspector didn't seem to miss a thing. He was very professional and didn't mind getting into tight spaces, getting dirty or going the extra mile. The IR scan was very helpful. I would gladly recommend Gaudet Inspections to anyone. Great value.
Thanks Steve
Nick P. 3.14.15, Hooksett
-------------------------------
Steve was very thorough in our inspection, explained everything at each of our levels (which was two different levels between my husband and myself!), and was very good about letting us know what was important to be fixed right away, and what was wear and tear on the house.
Kathy & Don F., 3.13.15, Newbury
-------------------------------
Mr. Gaudet was very thorough and took the time to explain any potential issues and how to correct them Obviously there were some items that would need to be fixed however weren’t serious enough to jeopardize the sale and could be handled by the buyer. I especially liked the infrared camera as it highlighted areas and issues that would have been impossible to see otherwise. It was obvious to see that Stephen was good at what he does and the money spent was well worth it.
Respectfully
Mike P., 3.6.15, Nashua
-------------------------------
Steve has inspected the last two houses we have purchased. Each time he has been extremely thorough, courteous, informative and provided a completely objective review of the property. During our last inspection, he provided us information that showed our potential home would require close to 30k+ in unexpected repairs. Needless to say, his report saved us from making a bad purchasing decision.
Additionally, with all the snow we have experienced in the northeast, most inspectors would have skipped performing an outside review of the home. Steve strapped on some snowshoes and went to it.
I would use his services again without question. His knowledge and tenaciousness at performing thorough inspections is unmatched.
Kristi & Kevin W., 3.5.15, Hooksett
-------------------------------
Thank you Stephen, it was a pleasure meeting you today. I had a lot of reservations about getting a home inspection due to a prior interaction with a home inspector but I have to say you are top notch. We are very happy that we hired you.
I will certainly recommend you to friends and co-workers.
Thanks again,
Ben L., 2.25.15, Brookline
-------------------------------
Thank you so much, Steve. I have already reviewed it once and will love having it for future reference of "issues" that need to be addressed. I almost had to laugh when the realtor said that it was the LONGEST inspection she ever saw while rolling her eyes. That just gave me comfort in knowing that I had chosen someone who was very thorough in his work. Thank you. Right now I don't know anyone in that area but if I ever meet or know someone who needs an inspection I will absolutely recommend you ! Oh, and thanks for the presents !
Wanda B., 2.19.15, Londonderry
This home took a little longer due to 3+ ft of snow and the client a single woman had many questions. Last since the home was vacant we tested the whole house generator which the client did not know how to use. I do not rush any inspections and it's over when the client has all their questions answered. It's called customer service.
Steve G
-------------------------------
Very thorough inspection and he exhibited a high degree of knowledge on the many different elements of a home. Having previous experience with some inspectors, He is definitely the one I would use or recommend to someone for home inspections.
Tom L., 2.17.15, Amherst
-------------------------------
We were very satisfied, probably so much that we bailed on the house. Seemed like overall shorty work with not so good issues. Not what we'd hoped or expected. Well, if you would, we would love to have you for our next try. Do you have any second timers an incentive or discount? I have to say, my father has been in real estate his whole life and said he's seen a lot of reports and commented very positively on yours. Any thoughts on a log cabin? We are going to NH Tuesday to check one out.
Thanks again,
Lori and Adam C., 2.16.15, Nottingham
-------------------------------
Very thorough. What I liked best it he showed me every issue and made sure i understood the problems. Then to follow up, the report included all of the issues and rated their impact. I felt confident that I knew the condition of the house before proceeding further with the purchase.
Stephen B., 2.12.15, Manchester
-------------------------------
We were very pleased by how thorough and informative our house inspection was. We learned about different strategies to fix what we found. Would definitely recommend to others.
Angela P. 2.11.15, Pelham
-------------------------------
Awesome job. Steve did a great job finding out as much as he could about the house. Even waist deep snow didn't stop him from looking around the whole house.
Garth Y. 2.10.15, Pelham

Steve
You saved me from making a 250K mistake. The price of inspection was well worth it.
Mark B. 1.30.15, Mont Vernon
-------------------------------
Very thorough and very informative. I really learnt a lot with your inspection. Thank you for your professionalism!
Joyce S., 1.30.15, Hooksett
-------------------------------
Steve impressed us with his knowledge and experience before we even met. His website was very informative and helped us to learn more about the inspection process. He responded quickly to my request for an online quote, and was very flexible when we were finally ready to schedule the inspection. He was also flexible when we had to reschedule due to the dewinterizing of the house not occurring on time. When we arrived at the house for our appointment, he was already there and informed us he had already looked at the exterior of the house. When we went into the house, he explained everything that he saw and offered suggestions on how to make repairs and upgrades. He provided us with a complete report later that same day, and we were happy that everything he included in the report he had also told us about verbally at the time of the inspection; there were no surprise "dealbreakers" in his report. I would definitely recommend Gaudet Inspections to family and friends.
Elisabeth B. 1.17.15, Manchester
-------------------------------
Steve,
Would absolutely recommend you to anyone in the market for a new home.
Would rate your work 'very good', as there is no 'excellent' on the list.
Thanks again and all the best in 2015!
best,
Lindsay & Leigh Perret 1.10.15, Durham

Steven showed up to the site of the inspection early and was already done with the outside by the time I got there. Throughout the inspection process, he would take the time to show me any issues he uncovered during the inspection. For some of them, he would even take the time to tell me how to complete the repair if I was going to undertake the project myself. His thermal imaging camera was able to show areas where pipes weren't insulated correctly and were losing heat. It also pinpointed areas where rodent infestations were through their heat signatures. Steve also was great in communication after the inspection was complete. He promptly answered any additional questions I had about the inspection and the house. Overall, I would highly recommend Steve and I wish I used him on my other past home purchases.
Thanks for everything!
Jason P. 1.9.15, Gilford
