Chris was detailed, very kind, and personable. He explained things to us along the way in a way we’d understand. Can’t recommend Alpha Inspections enough!

Alpha has 1 stop shopping with amazing quality. I was able to schedule multiple inspections together which helped the process go by faster, especially with the 3 day window.

I wish we could give 6 stars! My husband and I hired Alpha Inspections for our home inspection. Ken’s inspection was very thorough and helped us to make a knowledge-based decision on whether to continue with our home purchase. We decided to not go further with the purchase based on his great inspection. We are planning to hire them again once the time comes!

I was super impressed with Alpha Building Inspections' attention to detail. My inspector Jim patiently addressed my (abundant!) questions, and he taught me quite a bit in the process. We received the report in less than 24 hours, which was amazing considering the amount of pictures and observations documented within. I would highly recommend Alpha Building Inspections!

We had a home inspection done in NH on 2/20/25. Franco was punctual, courteous, knowledgeable, and very thorough. He did the best that he could working around personal belongings, lots of furniture, and snow. He answered all of our questions, and his report helped us make a decision about the house. We highly recommend Alpha Inspections and would definitely use them again. Thank you, Franco!

I had a fantastic experience with Bob for my home water inspection. The entire process was incredibly quick and hassle-free. He was extremely easy to work with, arriving on time and conducting a thorough inspection efficiently. What stood out the most was his excellent communication - he explained everything clearly, answered all my questions, and provided detailed insights without overwhelming me with technical jargon. I highly recommend Alpha Building Inspections to anyone looking for a reliable and professional inspector!

Can't recommend these guys enough! Tom is incredibly thorough, competent and personable. They were very reasonably priced for the quality of the inspection and report that we received on a house we looked at in Bristol NH. Don't call anyone else, use these dudes! Thanks Tom for your awesome service!

Thank you very much Tom Pelletier.
FANTASTIC INSPECTION!
Tom was thorough with the house and property; explaining every step of the way. He patiently explained the mechanical functions of the heating system, tankless water heater, septic system and plumbing throughout the house. Discussed settling and structural issues and looked for water stains in ceilings.
Thank you very much for all your time.

Jim did a great job with our home inspection. We are first time buyers and Jim was very patient and took the time to explain everything in detail. He even got there extra early to make sure he had plenty of time to inspect the outside of the home before the snow started. Highly recommend!

I have had commercial clients use Alpha Building Inspections for years. I have found that they are very thorough and competitive in their pricing when it comes to commercial inspectors. I would definitely recommend them to any commercial clients. I'm sure that they are just as in-depth with residential as well.
