Introduction: Many home inspectors charge extra for termite inspections and septic system dye testing but I do not. These items are very important and should be included in a home inspection, not as extra services. I do not charge any fee if I need to return to the property. Sometimes an inspection is needed immediately but the home has the power or gas disconnected. I can do the inspection and come back when the utility company activates the utilities. I also will return to a home with one of the qualified contractors to review defects and provide recommendations and cost estimates. I adhere to the NYS and InterNACHI Residential Standards of Practice. This means that I’ll inspect the visible and accessible structure, systems and components of the home, inside and out, from the foundation to the roof, using the latest tools and technology. Following my evaluation, I’ll compile my findings in an easy-to-read report, which will include detailed descriptions, high-resolution digital photos and even videos of any issues I’ve discovered. I’ll email you your report and provide a hard copy and other materials within a well organized binder, and my job isn’t finished until you understand everything in it. I will review the report with you and your real estate agent and coordinate with my network of qualified contractors to review defects and provide recommendations and cost estimates. A lot of real estate agents like when I write them a detailed list of recommended repairs and the order of which I would prioritize them based on safety, cost, etc. They can then forward the list to the home selling agent to review and negotiate with. As a licensed professional engineer, I offer engineering services pertaining to drainage, septic, well, water treatment, retaining walls, decks, patios, and more! ] You will receive a FREE copy of Now That You’ve Had a Home Inspection, the home-maintenance manual that includes tips for keeping your home safe and in top condition. • Evening & Weekend Appointments Available • Child-Friendly • Pet-Friendly • First-Time Home Buyer-Friendly Meeting new people and hearing their stories. Where they are from, why do they want to live in this home, what do they like about the area the home is located, what concerns do they have, etc. I enjoy being part of the process of helping somebody find the right place to call home and being comfortable with that decision.

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
It depends on the size of the home, the age of the home, and other factors about the home.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
We discuss the potential home over the phone and I answer several questions, then they will hire me and meet me for the first time at the beginning of the inspection. However my job is not done after the inspection. I strive to make sure each client is comfortable with the inspection and report and has all their questions answered.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I am a licensed professional engineer in New York, Connecticut and New Jersey. Not only do I inspect residential and commercial buildings, I can design several aspects of buildings and properties.
