I am a NY licensed home inspector with over ten years of contractor and real estate experience. A home inspection provides a written report of the systems and components of a residential building, including, but not limited to the: heating system, cooling system, plumbing system, appliances, electrical system, structural components - foundation, roof masonry structure, exterior, and interior features. My background has provided me with a comprehensive insight into all aspects of the home inspection process. You will receive a detailed, understandable narrative report that includes color photos within 24 hours that you can use to make the critical decision about the state of the property. Please read my customer reviews at https://www.thumbtack.com/profile/services/319685502292222060/reviews. I am available to schedule a home inspection at your convenience.

I strive to be thorough and efficient in all my home inspections. I got into different aspects of the real estate world a few years ago and was shocked at the amount of misinformation floating around. Buying a home without knowing everything about it is a daunting experience. When I heard about the innovative and effective teaching methods at CATS of Albany I jumped at the opportunity. I am always learning and always looking for ways to better serve you. I look forward to helping you during this stressful time.

Adirondack Home Inspection Services, proudly serving the residents of New York state. I am a New York State licensed home inspector and a member of the International Association of Home Inspectors. I adhere to the New York State Home Inspector Code of Ethics, and Standards of Practice. WHAT MAKES ME DIFFERENT from the pack of local inspectors is my unique and comprehensive experience. I spent over a decade renovating homes so my knowledge is deep and first hand. Checking off items on a checklist is important but I am able to put observations into context because I have done the work. My years as a licensed real estate agent taught me that the best inspectors offered honesty but also perspective. Communication is vitally important. My breadth of knowledge stands behind every inspection.

Home Inspection questions, answered by experts

Professionals use brushes, vacuums, and diagnostic tools to ensure thorough cleaning and safety.

If you hire a dedicated asbestos inspector near you in addition to your local home inspector, it will cost between $200 and $800. If, however, your general home inspector happens to be certified as an asbestos inspector, they can charge you a smaller fee and tack on the cost to the home inspection. In general, home inspectors do not do physical testing, but will provide a visual assessment so you know what you are working with.

Normal home inspections do not include sewer lines or septic systems, hazardous materials like radon or mold, swimming pools, electrical systems, or pest problems. Most of these require a separate inspection by a qualified pro in addition to a general home inspection.

To check the water pressure in your house, you’ll need to use a water pressure gauge, which you can purchase at your local hardware store. Locate your outside water spigot and attach the gauge (following the manufacturer’s instructions). Normal home water pressure is between 40 and 80 PSI.

The main purpose of a home inspection is to assess the overall condition of a home. It looks at major systems, like electrical and plumbing, and considers the long-term safety of the home. In contrast, a home appraisal sets out to estimate a home’s fair market value, often for lending purposes. At about $350, a home appraisal costs about the same as an average home inspection.
