About us

We are a family owned business operating out of Monmouth County for over 35 years. We do not advertise - you must be referred to us. We do not rely on Realtor referrals for business - our clients come to us from previous customers, lawyers and the ASHI website. We do structural and mechanical systems inspections, and produce a fully written, comprehensive narrative report explaining problems, what caused them and what remedial measures will be needed. At the end of the report is a numbered, bulleted Addendum that provides a brief highlight of those issues is a list format to provide an easy reference tool for decision making or negotiation. A copy of David's CV is always available upon request and you are encouraged to request a copy so that you know the credentials of the person who will potentially be protecting your very important investment should you choose to use us. All phone or email requests are responded to promptly - regarding emails, please identify yourself as wanting a home inspection and being referred by Angie's List so you don't go into spam... Thanks.

home inspection
  + -1 more
The proprietor of this organization is also the gentleman who will perform the home inspection. I was referred to this company by a very good friend who sought the services of this company over 20 years ago. She still refers back to the report she received prior to purchasing her home and uses it as a guide to answer questions that have come up in the future to prevent negative experiences. I never thought that a home inspection was important when I was interested in purchasing a home, you cannot fathom how necessary it is if you do not want to cry about a very expensive purchase that could have been avoided by allowing this man to make sure your future investment is in good condition. This is not a $499.00 inspection, but it is also not a 30 minute check list inspection that will never find faults and/or defects that a check list inspector that charges $499.00 would overlook. To answer your next question, why spend double the price? The end product is spend $800.00-$900.00 to prevent you from buying a home that costs over $200,000.00 that will possibly cost you $20,000.00 and more to fix because you did not find this flaw prior to closing and now you own it...it is a no brainier. To all of you who are in the difficult and frustrating process of purchasing a home as I have just done, heed my word please....You definitely don't need to find out later you bought a house that will cost you more than you anticipated because building inspectors, local laws are laxed and sellers can get away so much easier with selling not only their home to you, but their headache and you will have no recourse. I will never forget these people, their invaluable services are only overshadowed by their integrity and their impeccable reputation. This man is know by his peers as the "home inspector's inspector". It was my good fortune to come across these individuals who made my house hunting a great success. It is TRULY my privilege to be able to be the first person to rate you on this website. If anyone has questions, you may e-mail me, but I would be lost with a home that was a lemon two times without this company. Thank You Again! Regards, Tommy.
Description of Work: A home inspection with this company consists of a thorough five hours or more, which is how long it took for my house, which will depend on the size of the structure. When you receive the completed report on the building that is being inspected, you truly can rest assured that no one could have done a more meticulous survey of your building. When you receive your very lengthy many paged report, you will be able to utilize this document for the life of your home. The building will be assessed on the structure itself, as well as the foundation it sits upon and literally everything surrounding it! I have to thank you again for saving me from purchasing a home that would have had to be knocked down if not for your flawless inspection, as I was blinded by the home's esthetics and just as everyone else was mesmerized by the property, it was unfortunately structurally unsound. I will never understand how you do it, but sir, you are truly a master of your craft. Not only did I almost make a mistake once, but twice, and you were there for me again. I am forever indebted to you for your expert advice, when everyone else thought your inspection results were overboard, later, all of those who were skeptical of your judgement were embarrassed for their oversight. You have no idea how valuable your service is. I signed up for this website just to make sure after having the privilege of benefitting from your services and not buying two houses I would be very sorry for later, I may be able to help others as you assisted me, whereas, now I have found the perfect house because of you. I have also learned that when you are buying a house, it is very important to have a home inspector so that, since I am without knowledge of what to look for, I can leave the specifics up to you and be extremely confident that your direction is in my best interest. Once you sign a contract, the home is yours, it is a very nice feeling to know my house had a thorough check up and there will be no surprises in the future.
