Wow! This is my 4th time through the home inspection experience, and Alex is the best across the board: detail-oriented and complete, good at explaining things and presenting them with useful lens for understanding the greater context and impact, and willing to answer additional questions after the inspection report. Whole-heartedly recommend!

Alex is the Best! Twenty years ago when we were considering a condo purchase he did the inspection. We purchased the condo and we STILL refer back to his detailed notes. However, it IS 20 years later and now we have some major maintenance issues. We "thought" we needed to replace the roof, but Thank Goodness!, we asked Alex to do another inspection. Turns out that the roof can wait, repairs to the front of the building cannot. Alex is an expert at what he does. He's on time (early), thorough and provided us with a detailed report in record time. He's also Very Nice!

Punctual and professional, Alex played a critical role in identifying and flagging a set of key factors in a recent decision. I was deeply impressed with his work and would do business with him again. If you need an insightful and experienced home inspector, I would strongly recommend him.

Alex is a top notch professional and provides candid feedback at all times. I highly recommend him for anyone considering a home inspection. He will do right by you and make sure you have the necessary information to make the best decisions. An expert in his field and an even better person.

Alex was so informative and pleasant to work with. He answered all of my questions and then some. His report is very easy to read and understand. He did not miss a thing on my home inspection. Alex is very knowledgeable and I will be using him again! Thank you Alex!

We are first time home buyers and Alex has been an incredible resource. He was meticulous, communicative, clear, honest and encouraging throughout the inspection. His attention to detail and frank demeanor made us feel confident in our decision to make our first ever offer on a home (which, as anyone who has ever done this can attest, can be a VERY uncertain and nerve-wracking process). We looking forward to working with (and learning from) Alex throughout our journey as homeowners in the Boston area.

Alex came out to inspect a building my employer is considering purchasing. We could not have asked for someone more detail oriented, he was at the house for nearly 3 hours, and is clearly very knowledgeable.

Alex went far beyond the call of duty, not only conducting a thorough inspection, but also giving us tips on options for solving problems he turned up. Neither Nancy nor I can imagine anyone doing a better job.

Alex was outstanding and I can't recommend him highly enough. We used him for a recent home inspection and he was extremely detailed, meticulous and patient. He broke things down and explained everything so clearly, we learned so much throughout the inspection. His report was incredibly detailed and has been such a key factor in our decision making process. We feel so much more informed and better positioned to make a decision, really a huge relief in what can be a stressful process.

Outstanding Professional. Alex provided a home inspection for our family on short notice, and did a great job. Alex called me before he looked at the house, and I was able to tell him all the items I was particularly concerned about. He was able to peel back the onion and investigate those issues pretty good. After the inspection was complete, he called me, and he explained to me everything I asked about. THEN, he sent me his inspection report with pictures and narrative, and I feel like I now have a total understanding of the house we are spending our life's savings on. We couldn't have done this without Alex's help.

Alex was incredible and helped us make an educated decision about the home we were buying. He takes him time to explain everything and answers all questions thoroughly. We will only be using him as an inspector moving forward!
Mike Sachs

The inspection performed by Alex was very thorough and detailed providing us a great perspective into the house we are looking to purchase. Alex took the time to explain the issues with us and to provide some general cost ranges for the items to handled if the we were to purchase the property. It was a pleasure working with Alex and would recommend him for future home inspections.

Alex performed a thorough inspection of the home we are purchasing and took the time to explain his findings as well as how to maintain the property. The results are summarized in a well organized report with suggested fixes for any issues. He also gave us a book detailing what it takes to maintain a home which is a nice bonus. We highly recommend Alex's services!

Alex inspected our recently-purchased condo in Brookline. He was extremely thorough, both in the unit itself and also inspecting the common areas, boiler, ac and garage. He gave us a detailed report only a couple of days after the inspection and pointed out things to look out for. Altogether a great experience and very helpful.

Undoubtedly the best home inspection assessment and report we've ever had. Alex is No.1. He inspected a commercial property we own - a 3-family 100 yr. old residence. His inspection was thorough and will help us in the future to keep our property in good shape. His report was organized into sections that make it easy to know what needs to be attended to now vs what can wait a bit vs. future maintenance issues. Photos were included of the trouble spots. He gave us information about how to approach maintenance and how to care for equipment that we didn't know. He interacted with our tenants in a friendly and helpful manner and with our caretaker. He called us after we received the report and said he was available to help with any questions we had. We give him an over-the-top outstanding rating. We did this home inspection for our information. It served its purpose and will save us trouble and money in the future.

Alex is fantastic! He was incredibly friendly and thorough, despite the freezing temperatures. He took the time to make sure my husband and I understood all the areas/things he was checking and also made sure we understood what to be aware of and look out for in the future. We got the report quickly and were incredibly happy with the level of service. Would highly recommend using Alex for your inspection.

We requested a full-house inspection because contractors were pushing us to pay for extremely expensive repairs. As Alex examined the house from roof to basement, he explained how the contractors were trying to bilk us, and thereby saved us a considerable sum. Throughout the three-hour inspection, Alex used a variety of high-tech tools to aid visual observations. My husband tagged along and received a master’s course in dealing with an old house’s problems. The extremely thorough final report broke everything down into useful priorities: expensive problems just waiting to happen, what should be done next, areas no longer up to current code, and lesser problems. Throughout all our questions, Alex remained patient, good-humored, highly professional, and explained everything on a level we could understand.

Alex Steinberg is a very fine consultant on basement flooding issues. He is very knowledgeable and offers some really innovative and imaginative solutions to a tough problem. From suggesting we replace shallow wooden gutters to suggesting we reconfigure the slope of the yard to sump pump. suggestions he was extraordinarily helpful to us. He is also very personable and has a great sense of humor. He suggested some very useful contractors to help us with our problems, and was very prompt with follow up when we needed it. I would recommend him without any hesitation whatsoever.

Alex is terrific. His comprehensive, friendly, and detailed review of everything we need him to assess in our property was impressive. he explained everything in easy to remember terms, his report was super-clear, and he answered all my questions. Never rushed, and in the pouring rain, Alex was great.

Alex is very knowledgeable and did a great job in helping us to understand the building issues we consulted him about (HVAC, roofing, gutters, exterior painting) and providing contacts at firms that he has worked with that could help us with the solutions we talked about.

Alex and his team were very responsive, thorough, and professional. He took the time to walk us through the inspection, answering all of our questions and outlining several options for potential updates and repairs. We learned so much about the house and home maintenance during the inspection alone. The home being inspected is quite old and Alex was very knowledgable about various eras of construction, electrical, heating etc. that helped us understand what had been updated when. I highly recommend Alex without any reservations.
Julia Aversa
15:56 18 Aug 23
Alex was incredibly responsive, and we were able to get hold of him for a next-day inspection. As first-time homebuyers (purchasing an old home!), he perfectly struck the chord of extremely informative on all the basics without ever being condescending. Alex was efficient, personable, and thorough. He really put at ease through the process, and was a pleasure to work with. Highly recommend.

I hired Alex from JBS Home Inspections to handle two home inspections for me this spring - one pre-offer and one full. In both cases he was incredibly thorough and responsive, and worked with me and my realtor to find a time that worked for us (both on very short timelines). He was very patient with my novice homeowner questions, and was honest & transparent about what he was seeing in the inspection and what it could mean for me in the future. His experience with homes of all ages and construction was super helpful in producing a meticulous inspection report and providing the context for each issue both homes had, and made me feel much more comfortable with proceeding with my home purchase.Thanks again Alex for all your help & expertise!!

Alex is the absolute best. He did a thorough inspection of a 7 unit resi building leaving no stone unturned. He was patient and knowledgeable explaining everything as he worked through the units. Don’t worry if you don’t catch everything because it’s all detailed in his report. Not only does he have all the hard skills and equipment to do the job, but he is also kind and an overall great guy. AND he is reasonably priced. I will only use Alex as my inspector going forward.
Owen Skinner

We had Alex come to inspect a home that was under contract and he was amazing. He was thorough and knowledgeable and patiently described every detail to us during the inspection. As first-time home buyers we were very nervous, but Alex made us feel much more confident about the whole process. We would highly recommend him for any home inspections!

13:02 20 May 23
Alex was incredibly thorough, meticulous, responsive, knowledgeable, and great to work with. I would definitely hire him again!! He explained all the systems in our house, highlighted where there were risks, and produced a very comprehensive and easy to digest report at the end. His fee was reasonable and he was responsive after the service when I had questions. Highly recommend!

I recently completed a home inspection with Alex and would highly recommend. Alex is extremely knowledgeable, thorough and patient. He does an excellent job prioritizing issues and is skilled at explaining things both technically and in layman's terms. Alex is also very responsive and happy to walk through any follow-up questions / issues. I enjoyed working with him very much!
Larry Bayer

Alex inspected our condo in a 150 year old home, a few months after our purchase to help us look ahead to future repairs. He was very thorough, inspecting both inside and outside the condo. The report was super helpful in pointing out things that needed to be done in the near future, and things to monitor and decide later. Highly recommend for either before your home purchase or later when you might want a heads up to what's ahead in your home!

I recently had my new construction home inspected by Alex of JBS Home Inspections and am very happy that I did. Alex was very thorough in his inspection, and it is obvious that he is quite experienced and adept at what he does. He is also personable, patient, and professional. He answered my many questions and gave us valuable insights about our home. His report is very clear and easy to understand, and I found the color coding and categories helpful. He also left us with a nice “Owners Manual for Your Home,” which is also useful. In short, I highly recommend Alex/JBS Home Inspections!

Alex was knowledgeable, professional, and very thorough. As a homeowner, I was looking for a home inspector who could tell me what to expect in planning for a renovation project. I am so glad that Alex was recommended by my neighbors. He did a three-hour walkthrough of the exterior/interior of my home: poking, prodding, and sizing-up everything from the roof to the foundation, the electrical system, furnace, hot water heater, insulation, structural issues, and even minor issues. One big question that I had was how to make my home more energy efficient in anticipation of installing heat pumps in the future--and he was able to give me some important pointers. Alex produced a full report and a summary report ranging from major deficiencies and safety issues to needed repairs and future repairs. This is precisely the information that I wanted to prioritize work that needs to be done. So, whether you are planning to buy, sell, or renovate your home, I would definitely recommend Alex at JBS Inspections.

Outstanding home Inspections require the most expert and trustworthy professional. We were fortunate to have been referred to JBS Home Inspections, Inc.Alex Steinberg was extraordinary in how he assessed the home we are buying, how he communicated at each step of the process, and how he applied specialized expertise to ensure we got to the root of every detectable “symptom.”His recommendations were informed by deep experience and tempered with realism about how to prioritize and sequence remedial action within our budget. We recommend JBS Home Inspections, Inc. without any reservations.

We used Alex for a home inspection for fairly new construction, but Alex was still very thorough. He even pointed out things to watch for our future neighbors. He also explained about how every system work, and what to pay attention. It was a very educational experience for a first time home buyer. We highly recommend him.

We used Alex for our home inspection and were incredibly impressed by how thorough, patient, and knowledgeable he was. He got into every corner that he possibly could have and took detailed notes while also educating us about what he was seeing. He was communicative and punctual and answered all of our questions expertly. We not only got an inspection, we also got educated on how to properly maintain the home. We'd highly recommend Alex to any homebuyers.

We used Alex for an inspection after we had already purchased our house. He was very thorough and personable. He gave us a very detailed report, which included many actionable items to improve our new house. He was very knowledgable. It was money well-spent to get to know our new house and to ensure that we met all the safety requirements to feel comfortable living there with our family. I predict that the knowledge that he transferred to us will end up saving us money when we meet with contractors. Thank you!

I worked with Alex on two condo inspections. He is highly knowledgeable, professional and caring. He not only provided incredibly thorough reports, he took the time to share steps I could take on specific home improvement projects. I recommend Alex and JBS to anyone who wants an honest and reliable run down of exactly what is going on with their home.

We hired Alex to inspect our new home at the recommendation of our agent, and we were thoroughly impressed with the thoroughness of the inspection and the professionalism Alex brought to the entire process. He provided an incredibly helpful inspection report, available through his online portal and in PDF form, and took the time to walk us through what we needed to be aware of with the home. Even the listing agent was impressed to the point where she requested Alex's business card at the end of it. I would 100% recommend Alex and JBS to anyone looking for someone to inspect a home.

Frank Coleman

Alex was the top recommendation of our realtor, herself quite capable and experienced. My wife and I have had a few house inspections done over the years and we have never had an inspection and report as thorough and useful as Alex’s was. The experience itself was more like spending half a day with an old friend than having an inspection done by a stranger. He went over every inch of our house and property, methodically and patiently explaining everything he saw. We really appreciated how willing he was to answer all of our (many) questions and how clear, practical and understandable all his responses were. He gave us tons of helpful advice, and gave us recommendations for folks he trusts to do the work when we asked him for them. He was warm and funny, professional and responsive. After receiving the report, we contacted him from time to time with questions and he was immediately responsive. All in all, we could not have asked for a better experience nor a more useful report, and would recommend him in a heartbeat!

I will recommend JBS to as many people as is possible. Alex was incredibly knowledgeable, thorough, honest, caring and informative. His inspection of our potential home was a rare educational process which will help us set priorities, prepare an accurate time line and navigate us through repairs and renovations.. He was a delight to be with and brought professional terms and labels to a civilian level which was respectful and helpful beyond words. If I could give him ten stars, I would. There is really no one like his professional help and kindness.
Linlin Zhu

We made the right decision to ask Alex to inspect our new home. He was very into details and extremely knowledgeable. He also gave us a list of valuable suggestions to improve the home. The report was generated in the same day at night with everything! Last but not least, Alex gave us a book of everything we should know about a home.

Alex was very thorough and efficient. Inspected every corner of the house and was readily available for any questions. Report was written very quickly and included pictures. Would very highly recommend him.

My three-unit condo association hired Alex to inspect our 110-year-old building, and we’re so glad we did! We knew the building needed some repairs, and wanted helping prioritizing those as well as getting a sense of what else might be on the horizon. Alex was great—thoughtful and professional and a good communicator. He was very thorough, especially in the basement, where he gave us an educational tour of the building’s systems and discovered (uh oh) some active knob-and-tube wiring. It was a lot of information, so I really appreciated the report with photos that arrived later the same day. It’s hugely helpful to know what requires attention soon (and why), and what can be tackled later. Our inspection with Alex was an excellent investment, in terms of both planning repairs for the building and bringing us greater peace of mind.
