Rob has been a full time home inspector since 1995. In fact, he was in the first group of inspectors to be licensed in Massachusetts! He joined MKC Associates in 2017 and brings with him over 25 years of residential and commercial inspection experience.
Rob has become familiar with common Massachusetts home construction types and issues after performing over 7,000 inspections mostly in Greater Boston, but also throughout all of New England. This, combined with his native residence in Walpole, gives him a strong familiarity with local construction history, techniques and the various problems and solutions involved in property ownership.
Prior to being a home inspector, Rob worked as a manager and trainer for a national radon measurement firm in Virginia, who were pioneers in radon measurement.
Rob is a life-long musician (guitar and bass) and has played music professionally all over New England and the Northeast. He currently plays with an eclectic surf band called The Fathoms.
Rob’s take on the home inspection profession: “I like being with different people in different places every day and the challenge of helping people out during their building-purchase process. I have a lot of fun at the same time and consider myself fortunate to have succeeded in this profession”.
“This was the 4th home that Rob Amaral has inspected for me and I can’t imagine using anyone else. Based on his reports, I have purchased 3 of the 4 homes he has inspected. Everything he told me about each house has held true…” – Autumn W.
