Our Approach
New York State limits all inspectors to a "visual" inspection of homes. We can not open walls, remove ceilings, lift floor-boards, or take apart your furnace.
We can and do observe the details of a house and the affects of time. We use non-destructive measurement devices for moisture and temperature readings as well as ladders, binoculars, common sense, and years of experience to assess the condition of the building.
Mechanical systems that supply heat, air conditioning, and hot water, as well as the plumbing sanitation systems and delivery of water for a decent shower: all items are important and you want to know that the house systems are in good shape.
