"Mike is very detailed, knowledgeable, and friendly! Even when on the phone, he explained the whole process, and he even explained why most home inspectors did not perform lead inspection tests. He arrived on site early and educated me on each aspect of the home, what he was looking for, and how it would affect me as a future home owner. I bought my own lead testing swabs and followed him throughout the inspection, he pointed out the places where I should test. His report was submitted the next day and was incredibly detailed. His pricing is comparable to other home inspectors but he is an amazing person to work with."

"I would highly recommend Nick at 3D Property Inspections to take care of any property inspections you may need. I'm in the process of buying a single family home in Long Valley, NJ & working on a tight schedule to get to closing on this house. Nick at 3D responded same-day to my request for a comprehensive inspection & got me on his schedule for a few days later. I bought my current NJ home 40+ years ago & that was a new build. The very lovely home I fell in love with in Long Valley is an older home & while it appears to be well maintained, I still wanted a thorough inspection. Enter Nick of 3D & his radon, mold & sewer guy, David. The inspection started right on time with explanations being offered throughout. Both Nick & David welcomed my questions & made sure any concerns I had were addressed before wrapping up the inspection. The reports I received were comprehensive & included pictures to illustrate various points noted during the inspection. Naturally, the reports sparked more questions which Nick & David responded to promptly & told me if I thought of more questions to let him know. Even though the inspections & the reports were done, Nick & David never tried to push me away when new questions came up. I'd also like to mention that Nick's wife & business partner Jill, is so very helpful, quick to obtain other pieces of information I needed while managing to soothe my frazzled, home buyer nerves. I would not hesitate to invite Nick & David to take care of any inspections I might need in the future. Thank you, Nick, David & Jill!"

"Stuart Fuchsman at Pinnacle Home Inspections Plus was the best! He treated my husband and me like we were family, not just clients. The first home he inspected for us, we decided to pass on it. But because of how thorough and responsive he was, we knew we had to have him inspect our next home. I trust his work, 100%. Biggest of all, you do not have to chase him for the report! Received in 1-3 days! You will not regret hiring Pinnacle Home Inspections Plus!"

"Nico went above and beyond to ensure that my prospective home was safe I was told that the property was previously inspected beforehand, but Nico discovered some termite damage which ultimately saved me a lot of trouble. Besides his great attention to detail, Nico is also incredibly professional! I would recommend him to anyone seeking home inspection services."

Home Inspection questions, answered by experts

Yes, in most cases, you can negotiate and make a counteroffer after a home inspection. If the inspection reveals issues with the property, you can use these findings as leverage to reduce the purchase price. Your counteroffer should account for the estimated cost of necessary repairs, and it's important to find a reasonable balance to increase the chances of the seller accepting. The main exception is if you waived the home inspection contingency to make your offer more appealing. In that situation, while you can still have an inspection done for your own information, you have no contractual recourse to make a counteroffer based on the results.

Home inspectors may look briefly at your roof, but certified roof experts will be more thorough. Hiring a roof inspector can give you a better sense of any underlying concerns as well as longevity. That said, a roof inspector won’t look at the rest of your home. The inspection may or may not include the attic, where problems can be hidden if they aren’t already visible on the surface of your roof. It’s important to clarify exactly what you’re getting with your inspector so there are no surprises.

From the underwriter to the home inspector, the team working to help you buy a house is there to make sure it is a sound financial decision and that the house is worth what you're paying for it. 

A sale can fall through when a mortgage lender discovers the cost of the home plus closing costs is too high for your current financial status. Another potential issue is that an inspector or appraiser can find issues with the home that halt the sale if the offer is far higher than what it's worth.

Make it easier for your inspector to do a thorough assessment by preparing your home ahead of time. That includes:

  • Noting any signs of pests around the home

  • Removing obstacles in the way of the attic, basement, plumbing, garbage, and other key areas that inspectors will need to access

  • Keeping children and pets away from inspection areas

Structural problems with the foundation or roof, water damage, and significant plumbing or electrical issues are all considered major red flags in a home inspection. Of these, a structural problem related to the foundation is often the most severe. Foundation repairs are typically the most expensive and intrusive to carry out, averaging around $5,000 but sometimes reaching up to $16,000. Because these problems can pose safety risks and be costly to fix, you should ask your inspector detailed questions about any identified issues. You will need to carefully consider how major problems affect what you’re willing to pay for the home, or if you want to proceed with the sale at all.
