LaunchPad Home Group Expands Into the Northeast With Acquisitions of RJ Home Inspections and Sherwood Inspection Services

AUSTIN, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--LaunchPad Home Group (“LaunchPad”), the nation’s premier provider of home inspection and residential services, today announced its expansion into the Northeast through the acquisitions of RJ Home Inspections and Sherwood Inspection Services, two highly respected inspection companies serving New England. The back-to-back acquisitions mark a significant milestone in LaunchPad’s national growth strategy and establish a strong foundation for continued expansion across the region.

Founded in 1987, RJ Home Inspections is a market-leading provider serving Greater Boston and the broader New England area. Sherwood Inspection Services, founded more than four decades ago, is a trusted name throughout Connecticut, with a long-standing reputation for inspection quality, professionalism, and community relationships.

As part of the RJ transaction, owner Adam Wright has joined LaunchPad’s leadership team as Regional Leader for the newly established Northeast division. Wright will oversee regional operations and growth, beginning with RJ and Sherwood.

“These acquisitions reflect our commitment to partnering with best-in-class operators who have built brands grounded in trust,” said Scott Swayze, CEO of LaunchPad Home Group. “RJ and Sherwood are established market leaders with deep local expertise. By bringing founders like Adam into our leadership, we ensure our growth is guided by the most respected voices in the industry.”

“I’m excited to join a leadership group that represents the very best in our industry,” Wright added. “The people LaunchPad has recruited into their executive and regional leadership are people I’ve long respected, and it’s an honor to build the Northeast division alongside them.”

“After 44 years of building Sherwood, it was critical to find a partner who respects our people and standards,” said David Sherwood, founder of Sherwood Inspection Services. “It became clear that LaunchPad is the only organization in the country with the resources necessary to truly elevate our employees and the client experience to the next level.”
