Jim caught a moisture issue behind the master bathroom wall the sellers hadn't disclosed. That finding alone saved us thousands. I'd recommend him to anyone buying on Long Island.
Michelle T.
Smithtown, NY
We were first-time buyers and Jim walked us through everything on-site — not just handed us a report and left. We felt confident going into closing.
David & Karen R.
Huntington, NY
Jim flagged roof flashing issues and inadequate attic ventilation we never would have caught. His report made it easy to request a credit at closing.
Anthony M.
Commack, NY
$8,200
Negotiated at closing
Jim found moisture intrusion behind the master bath wall. The buyer used the report to request a seller credit — and got it.
$14,000
Avoided in roof repairs
Knob-and-tube wiring in the attic plus failing flashing at the chimney — the seller repaired both before closing after Jim's report.
$395
What the inspection cost
A home inspection is the cheapest insurance you can buy before a $400K+ purchase. One finding typically pays for the inspection many times over.
