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.

D&S Mold Assessment is owned and operated by two people. Pricing is is dependent on type and severity of the job. Veteran and senior discounts available.

"I was lucky enough to be referred to Todd at D&S because I had mold issues which were improperly remediated by an unscrupulous Mold Remediation Company and needed an assessment done. Todd has been great to work with through the assessment and he even helped me find an excellent mold remediation company that fixed the botched job. He is absolutely an honest and trustworthy stand up guy. I cannot recommend the company highly enough and am in their debt for all the help that they have given to me."

Home Inspection questions, answered by experts

Typically, a local home energy auditor is responsible for performing energy audits. A home energy auditor will conduct one of three energy audits designed by the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating, and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) to determine the energy efficiency of your home. The auditor often provides analysis that can help guide changes and improvements to your home for better energy efficiency, giving recommendations as necessary.

The difference between an energy auditor and a home inspector is primarily in the purpose of the inspection. The energy auditor conducts tests in your home to determine the energy efficiency levels in areas like windows, insulation, and doorways. The auditor then makes recommendations for ways to improve a home’s energy efficiency

A home inspector examines various structures of your home to determine that everything is up to code and gauge the condition of features like the roof, foundation, HVAC, and electrical. The home inspector reports on the overall home and makes repair recommendations.

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.

An inspection to look for damper handles is the best way to know if your house has dampers in the ducts. Not all homes have them, as some home builders may try to save money on the construction by leaving dampers out of the ducts. You can install them yourself later if desired, but you may have to do quite a bit of work and take on a partial air duct replacement cost, which could be $1,000 or more.

Some of the biggest red flags to look out for after a home inspection include signs of water or moisture damage, missing or damaged shingles, structural problems like bowing roof joists, cracks in the foundation, and signs of pest damage.
