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

Insurance companies weigh the amount of potential liabilities on your property to increase (or decrease) the cost of your home insurance. They will use several factors to decide if there are more chances for peril or injury to take place at your home. These factors include your location (whether you live in an area with high risk for natural disasters), the age and condition of your home, and whether you have any “attractive nuisances”—features that both increase the aesthetic of your home and potential for injury—like a pool or treehouse. 

Checking for mold yourself is crucial, as catching mold in the early stages is ideal. Mold can appear green, brown, black, blue, or yellow. It can smell musty and can feel like velvet, leather, or cotton. 

Most often, mold grows near water damage. It’s best to inspect these places for signs of mold growth:

  • Basement: Look in corners, windows, carpet, closets, and around appliances. 

  • Bathrooms: Check around sinks, ceilings, and around toilets. 

  • Kitchen: Inspect around the sink, behind the refrigerator, and behind trash can.

  • Attic: Look near the insulation and near intake and exhaust vents.

A pre-purchase home inspection isn’t mandatory, but not having one can complicate your home insurance and mortgage loan eligibility.

Modular homes can go up or down in value depending on a few factors. In areas where real estate is appreciating, the value of modular homes is likely to increase, and vice versa. Additionally, the value of modular homes depends partially on the area. In cities where every other home is stick-built, modular homes might be considered a functional obsolescence, in which case they could be less desirable and go down in value. In either case, though, modular homes can still be a good investment, especially since they provide housing at a lower upfront cost.

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.
