Home Inspections in Central New York
The Home Inspection Experience
The inspection focuses primarily on identifying safety concerns, significant defects, and major components that may not be operating properly. I also discuss recommended improvements, ways the home may operate more safely and efficiently, and conditions that should be monitored over time.
BUYER’S HOME INSPECTION
A Complete Home Evaluation. Confidence Before You Buy.
A Buyer’s Home Inspection provides a thorough evaluation of the visible and accessible systems and components of the property. I help you better understand the home’s condition, identify potential safety or maintenance concerns, and know what you’re buying before you reach the closing table.
PRE-LISTING INSPECTION
Know Your Home’s Condition Before Buyers Do
A Pre-Listing Inspection provides a detailed evaluation of your home’s visible and accessible systems and components before it goes on the market. Identifying potential concerns early gives you more time to address repairs, understand your property, and prepare for the selling process.
HOME MAINTENANCE
A Well-Maintained Home. Greater Peace of Mind.
Owning a home doesn’t end after the inspection. Regular maintenance helps protect your investment, improve safety, and prevent costly repairs. Explore practical home maintenance tips, seasonal checklists, and expert advice to keep your home in excellent condition year-round.
A THOROUGH LOOK AT YOUR HOME
What is included in a home inspection?
A home inspection includes a thorough, visual evaluation of the home’s major accessible components and systems. This generally includes the exterior, interior, roof, heating and cooling systems, plumbing, electrical system, basement or crawl space, foundation, attic, and garage, when applicable.
- Roof, Attic & Structure
- Exterior (Siding, Windows, Doors, Decks, Driveways)
- Foundation & Crawl Space
- Plumbing System
- Electrical System
- Heating & Cooling Systems
- Insulation & Ventilation
- Interior (Walls, Ceilings, Floors, Stairs)
- Kitchen Appliances
- Bathrooms
- Fireplace & Chimney
- Garage
- Safety & Carbon Monoxide Detectors
PRECISION IN EVERY INSPECTION
Professional Inspection Equipment
Specialized equipment may be used to evaluate areas and conditions that cannot be adequately assessed through visual observation alone. Depending on the property, this may include:
- Infrared or laser temperature equipment to evaluate temperature differences and confirm the operation of heating and cooling systems
- Moisture meters to help determine whether visible staining or suspected moisture conditions may be active
- Electrical testing equipment to evaluate receptacle polarity, grounding, GFCI protection, and other electrical safety conditions
- Non-contact voltage testing equipment to help determine whether exposed wiring may be energized
- Aerial drone equipment to inspect otherwise inaccessible areas of roofs, chimneys, flashing, and other exterior components when the roof cannot be safely walked
An Inspection You Can Learn From
I make every reasonable effort to accommodate my clients’ schedules and encourage buyers to attend the inspection from beginning to end. This allows them to see important conditions firsthand, understand how the home operates, and ask questions throughout the process.
I take the time to explain my findings in clear, practical language. Clients should leave the inspection with a better understanding of the home, not simply a long list of concerns they do not understand.
My goal is to provide an inspection experience like no other: thorough, educational, professional, and focused on helping each client make a better-informed decision.
EXCELLENT Based on 717 reviews Posted on Google Andrew AntonioTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. After setting up an Inspection scheduled for a Sat on a very short notice, Mike agreed to do the Inspection. He was there on time and we walked through the property pointing our crucial safety issues. The final Inspection report was clear, easy to read and included helpful photos. His through, professional work has helped us feel confident, negotiate repairs and save money on unexpected repairs prior to closing. Thanks a million Mike!
