My 15+ years of inspection experience ensure that you’re aware of EVERYTHING about your new investment because I invite you to join me throughout the entire visit! This takes approx. 1.5 to 2 hours where I’ll point out and provide pictures of all aspects so you’ll know the details first hand. I truly enjoy what I do and consider every inspection as one being done for my very own family! That’s why I offer the best price with the best service…GUARANTEED!!! Every inspection includes: FREE radon testing, FREE certified insect report, FREE chimney inspection and FREE mold inspection. I'M LICENSED BY NYS. I also have a Mold Assessor license issued by the State of NY Labor, Mold Assessor. The license number is MA00578, and it expires in March of 2018.

"I used John several times on prospective homes that I wanted to buy. He was professional, timely, and quite complete on all my home inspections. Several times he pointed out significant issues with the property, that had I purchased it, would have cost significant sums to remediate. His home inspection report is excellent, and is well organized with plenty of photographs. If I buy more properties, John will be the only inspector that I would use."

"Hired Neli for a virtual repair of our Whirlpool washer. Tom was VERY knowledgeable, friendly and professional. We came up with a solid diagnosis of my issue and the replacement parts required. Tom advised me to consider the value of repairing, parts costs and time required, vs. a new purchase and the effort to repair was not going to be simple. We chatted about the pros/cons a lot. As the washer was 6+ years old and there were holiday sales I opted to purchase a new unit. This is the 3rd time I have worked with Neli. All instances have been very productive and positive. "

Wood Stove Inspection questions, answered by experts

Outdoor fireplaces are extremely sturdy if constructed correctly, but they do require regular maintenance. The good news is that cleaning and checking the fireplace needs to be done just once a year. However, for safety reasons, let a professional clean the fireplace. Homeowners should expect to pay between $100 and $300 for outdoor fireplace maintenance. Any damage to the fireplace itself, however, will cost much more to repair.

Some people prefer the traditional look of a classic fireplace over modern fireplace inserts, potentially making their aesthetic a disadvantage, though this isn’t true for everyone. Additionally, if you’re moving into a house with an insert and don’t have the specific fuel requirements, the insert will be pretty much useless. Though fireplace inserts are less maintenance than standard fireplaces, they still require consistent cleaning.

Beyond having an inspection, it’s important to do chimney maintenance at least annually to be certain the chimney is safe to use. Cleaning the flue of any built-up particles, creosote, and soot reduces the risk of fire. Fortunately, the cost of hiring a pro to do a chimney inspection often includes a chimney cleaning, so you may not have an extra expense for maintenance.

Chimney cleaning is an important task you must perform at least once a year to remove dangerous soot and creosote buildup, which can cause fires and increase the amount of dangerous carbon monoxide entering the home. If you use your chimney frequently, you may need to clean it more often. Call a chimney sweep if you notice smoke entering your home when you use your fireplace, difficulty keeping your fire going, a campfire smell, or if the fire damper is black.

You should use an angled brush to first paint the mortar lines, then go in with a high-density roller to evenly paint the bricks one at a time. You can also use a flat paintbrush to paint individual bricks, but a roller is faster and easier to use thanks to its longer handle and wider surface area for coating the bricks. To finish, go in with the paint brush for edges or hard-to-reach areas.
