Gary Agnesini says, "Ive been a real estate broker for 38 years and Im currently a broker with Re/Max Team in New York. My experience with John Gavares and New York appraisals was one of the most pleasant experiences I have ever had from an appraiser. I had a very difficult appraisal on a mixed used property that other companies did not even want to do. Mr. Gavares not only completed the appraisal within 48 hours. His company had all the tools to locate every comparable sale necessary to complete the appraisal. Since them Ive been recommending New York appraisals to everybody in my company, and every agent that deals with him has nothing but high praises for the quality of work. So the next time you need a quality, residential or commercial appraiser call John you will not be disappointed."See more

Home Inspection

  • 2 hires on Thumbtack
  • Serves Upper Manhattan, NY
Bryan M. says, "Tommy was great to work with for my home inspection. He was prompt, thorough, professional, friendly, and knowledgeable. I never realized how much detail there could be in an inspection report until I read Tommy's report. Don't let the word report scare you, it was incredibly easy to read, all the issues were highlighted according to their severity. My attorney was able to secure a credit from the seller at closing toward all of the issues pointed out in the report which I was not expecting at all because of this crazy seller's market. This guy has all the cool toys, he used a drone for the roof, an electric testing thingy for the outlets and even used a moisture meter to determine if a leak was old or active. I Highly recommend working with him!"See more

Home Inspection

  • Serves Upper Manhattan, NY
David W. says, "We never owned a home before, and had another company inspect our place before we moved in. That inspection lasted less than 2 hours, and we felt he wasn't thorough enough. We wanted another inspection and Steve was recommended to us. He ended up dissecting our house for over 5 hours and went over absolutely everything. He spent an hour on the roof and pointed out an open seam, and instructed us how to get it fixed and to have the roof painted. The previous inspector missed the open seam. He sent something down the chimney to look inside and photograph it. He took photos of every crack in the cement and every cracked brick. He checked every outlet he could access and told us we needed GFCI outlets in the kitchen and bathrooms. He looked under every sink and pointed out something in a drain he thought might leak soon, something the other inspector missed. He showed us how to take out window sashes so we can take one with bad glass to a shop to get it replaced. He inspected the boiler and pointed out black soot on parts of it. When he turned it on and opened a little flap on it, some smoke and flame came out of the flap. Steve said the boiler was very dirty and needed to be cleaned. The other inspector did not say anything about this. We hired a furnace company and they said it was very dirty and should have been cleaned years ago. Steve also showed us how to drain the safety shutoff on the boiler and told us if that gets filled with sediment, it will not work. He checked the electric panel and found a 20 amp breaker on too small a wire, another thing the original inspector missed. He also looked around the basement and said he did not see evidence of termites. Steve sent us a report that was twice as long as the first inspector's. He thoroughly explained everything in a way that was easy to understand, unlike the first guy who talked at us like we were experts. Steve was such a patient teacher and he told me that he is doing longer consultations for new homeowners who need help understanding the basics - like us! I recommend him for this service as it was a real learning experience. This was the best money we have spent on our house so far!"See more

Q & A

Answers to commonly asked questions from the experts on Thumbtack.

What is a home inspection?

A home inspection is a visual inspection performed by a trained professional to determine the condition of a home’s main elements. The inspection usually takes several hours, during which the professional takes multiple photos and notes, tracking information for a final report. After the inspection, the pro will create a printed report, complete with photos and detailed information, summarizing the condition of the house. A home inspection is often used by potential home buyers prior to purchase to determine if there are larger issues (such as dry rot or a faulty foundation) that are not immediately visible to the untrained eye but that would cost a lot of money to resolve. Home inspections are also used by real estate agents and home sellers to address any concerns before putting a home on the market. Longtime homeowners can also schedule a home inspection to get a snapshot of their current home condition and identify any issues that need to be addressed. A home inspection is not a legal document that can be used for divorce or estate settlements, nor can it be used to secure loans or mortgages.

How much does it cost to get a house appraised and inspected?

Home appraisals and home inspections both assess your home and provide a report summarizing the condition or value of your home based on key measurements. Unlike a home inspection for the sale of a property, a home appraisal is used for loan applications, property value assessment for sales or settlements (divorce, estate, etc.), and taxes and insurance. If you’re having your home appraised for lending purposes, you’ll likely need a state-certified appraiser, so be sure to your research their credentials. Nationally, the average cost for a home appraisal is $340.

If you’re buying or selling a home, having a professional home inspection can be an invaluable tool for price-setting and negotiation, as well as learning what repairs are necessary. The national average home inspection cost is $310, ranging higher or lower depending on the inspection company, your location and the size of your home. Other factors that can affect cost are additional inspection services and pathogen testing. Here are some examples of average home inspection costs in various parts of the country:

  • Home inspection in New York City: $425 or more.
  • Condo inspection in New York City: $200 or more.
  • Home inspection in Central Texas: $250 for homes up to 2,000 square feet.
    • $275 for homes from 3,001-4,000 square feet.
    • $300 for homes from 4,001-5,000 square feet.
    • $325 for homes 5,001 square feet and up, plus 10 cents per additional square foot.
  • Home inspection in Los Angeles: $199-$299 or more.

What should be included in a home inspection?

A complete home inspection involves a visual investigation of all major elements that make up your home. A home inspection is a vital part of buying or selling a home to ensure you’re not accidentally buying a termite-infested home or one with major structural defects. Paying for an inspection before purchasing a home can save you a lot of money in the long run. The national average home inspection cost is $310, with prices ranging higher or lower based on your location and the square footage of your home. After performing a walk-through inspection, the pro should provide you a printed report — complete with photos and recommendations — detailing what’s in good condition, what would benefit from minor repairs, and what needs immediate attention. Home inspection pros know how to spot trouble areas, but they’re not licensed contractors, electricians or plumbers, so they may suggest you hire a licensed pro to address specific problems. Here are the main components that a home inspection covers:

  • Home structure
    • Foundation, grading and drainage, roof covering, roof structure, interior and exterior attic walls, ceilings and floors, interior and exterior doors, windows, stairways, fireplace and chimney, porches, balconies, decks, attached carports, and crawl space.
  • Electrical
    • HVAC system, heating equipment, cooling equipment, ductwork and vents, fixtures and switches, branch circuits, receptacles, service entrance and panels.
  • Plumbing
    • Water heater and equipment, drains, waste systems, vents, and plumbing fixtures.
  • Appliances
    • Garage door openers, garbage disposal, dishwasher, exhaust range, range hood, bathroom exhaust fans, cooktop, oven and microwave.

How long does it take to do a home inspection?

On average, you can expect a standard home inspection to take two to three hours. Your house size can affect inspection length, as can requesting additional services such as sprinkler system inspections, outbuilding inspections, radon testing, crawl space inspections, or pool house inspections. During the home inspection, the professional will be taking photos and looking in and around all parts of your home. The inspector will then compile a report that may be more than 20 pages. You should receive this report back within a few days to a week. The report should detail everything from minor imperfections and maintenance recommendations to major defects that need to be resolved as soon as possible, like structural failures or a leak in the basement. Your report should include photos and clearly outlined information about all major elements inspected, as well as recommendations for next steps.

Do you tip jewelry repair services?

Tipping a jeweler isn’t expected, but it’s always appreciated. If your jeweler did a fantastic job repairing your jewelry and you want to show your appreciation, leave them a positive review on Thumbtack and offer to give them a referral.

Is custom-made jewelry more expensive?

Custom jewelry can be cheaper or more expensive than jewelry you might buy at a retailer. It ultimately depends on the stones, gems and other materials and details you desire. 

If you’re not sure if creating a custom piece of jewelry is cost-effective, get price quotes from several custom jewelry designers. Compare their cost estimates with the price tags for other jewelry you’re considering buying. If you have your heart set on a custom piece that's outside of your price range, chat with the designer about more  affordable options that fit your budget.
