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

Yes, a crawl space can add value to your home. However, there is a higher chance of it adding value if it is an enclosed crawl space, as this reduces issues caused by excess moisture in the home. That being said, a basement does add more value than a crawl space.

Generally, you can tell if a home is bolted to the foundation by checking the foundation for plates. If you see that your foundational plates connect to wood or bolts protruding from them, this means that you have a bolted foundation. However, it's always wise to bring a home inspector in to confirm if your foundation is secure.

Any good contract company will do their own post-work inspection and walkthrough with their clients, but you shouldn’t consider these a replacement for a third-party pre-drywall inspection. Even a small mistake or oversight can lead to big issues down the line. Having an objective, neutral professional perform the inspection will help to make sure nothing goes overlooked.

Several government-backed lending programs can help first-time home buyers purchase a home with little money down. FHA, USDA, and VA loans are options for qualifying borrowers, though many conventional mortgage lenders will lower down payment rates to as low as 3 percent.

Living in a termite-infested home isn’t just annoying—it’s risky. These pests can quietly chew through wood, weakening your walls, floors, and even the structure of your house.
