Absolutely the best! And with his years of experience, there is a very good chance that he has inspected the house you are buying at least once or more over the years! I have known Sam for over 20 years and without any hesitation I do and have confidently and happily recommended him to all of my clients over the years. More importantly, my clients love his detailed work, his always up to date industry knowledge, his expertise and his clear, honest and concise communication style. He's a straight shooter, doesn't candy coat his findings and tells and reports it as it is so that home buyers can make

Inspector was incredibly abrasive and dismissive. His demeanor was aggressive, argumentative, defensive and uncooperative. It seemed as if he did not want to actually do the work required. He accused me of threating him because I told him that "I'm not the person that you want to talk to like that." as I am the type of person to give very good references for good work and accordingly very poor reviews when someone deserves it. He actually threw his ladder in his truck like a child taking their toys and leaving and proceeded to peel out of the driveway like a maniac leaving me with no inspector

Sam Lorefice is incredible. He understands homes inside and out. He has a property or two himself so he has lived the horror stories.
Great guy and incredible building inspector!

Sam has a lot of knowledge about homes and makes sure you know what you’re buying. We walked away from a potential disaster due to his attention to detail and bought another. Professional, detailed and timely. Not much else you can ask for! Will be using Sam for future inspections!

Got the inspection, then moved it. The inspector failed to notice that 4 of the faucets leaked. He even wrote in the report that one of the leaky faucets was "serviceable". The report is filled with fluff, and misses really obvious defects. Save your money.

Much of the report from this company was inaccurate when checked against code or confirmed with contractors. Basic lack of knowledge of code requirements, especially with woodstove installation and foam insulation. The inspector was clearly working with a buyer to leverage a better deal, but much of the report was wrong or exaggerated. I would not recommend this company.

Had a great experience with Sam for our home inspection. He was very thorough in his inspection and was great for answering our questions and concerns afterwards. Highly recommend!
