AUSTIN, Texas — January 27, 2026 — LaunchPad Home Group (“LaunchPad”), the nation’s premier provider of home inspection and residential services, today announced the acquisition of Sherwood Inspection Services, a highly respected inspection company serving Connecticut. The acquisition reinforces LaunchPad’s continued investment in the Northeast and further solidifies the foundation of its newly established regional presence.
Founded more than four decades ago, Sherwood Inspection Services has built a strong reputation across Connecticut for inspection quality, professionalism, and deep community relationships. The company is widely trusted by homebuyers and real estate professionals alike and is known for its commitment to integrity and education.
The Sherwood acquisition follows LaunchPad’s initial entry into the Northeast earlier this month with RJ Inspections, marking the company’s first regional expansion into the Northeast. Together, these moves reflect a focused strategy to build regional density in New England by partnering with established inspection firms with deep local credibility.
The Sherwood acquisition supports the formation of a dedicated Northeast regional structure. Adam Wright, a longtime industry leader and owner of RJ Inspections, has joined LaunchPad as Regional Leader for the Northeast, where he will oversee operations and growth across the region, including Sherwood.
“This acquisition reflects our commitment to partnering with best-in-class operators who have built brands grounded in trust,” said Scott Swayze, CEO of LaunchPad Home Group. “Sherwood is an established market leader in Connecticut with deep local expertise.”
“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.”
“I’m excited to help build a strong, durable Northeast region with operators like Sherwood,” added Adam Wright, Regional Leader, Northeast. “This is about thoughtful growth. Supporting great local brands while giving them the infrastructure to scale.”
