Sherwood Inspection Services

What Sherwood Inspection Services does

Sherwood Inspection Services, operating since 1986, is a regional building inspection company that provides home and commercial building inspection services. It serves residential home buyers, property owners, and commercial property customers seeking property-condition assessments and real-estate transaction support. Its operating footprint is concentrated in Greater Boston, New England, and Connecticut, with services delivered directly to customers through scheduled on-site inspections.\n\nSherwood generates revenue through professional inspection services rather than disclosed software, subscription, or physical-product sales. Its go-to-market motion is direct to consumer, targeting individual and SMB customers in the residential real-estate market. On January 27, 2026, Sherwood was acquired by LaunchPad Home Group, with backing from RFE Investment Partners, and became part of LaunchPad’s Northeast division; Sherwood’s founders remained involved following the transaction. The available data identify no core technology, proprietary inspection platform, app, API, integrations, or disclosed AI or machine-learning capabilities.
