For an average home, a complete home inspection typically takes
about 3 hours to complete and costs approximately $200.00,
depending on the size, age, and location. The inspection procedure
covers the house's lot and landscaping, roofing, foundation,
framing, insulation, plumbing, electrical, heating/cooling,
kitchen, bathrooms, and safety. In the past, inspections were
limited to readily accessible areas only. However, thanks to modern
technology, that is no longer the case. With the use of state of
the art equipment like a Flex Cam Infared Fusion
Camera, Scott is
able to inspect for moisture and insulation values in otherwise
unseen places.
Upon completion of an inspection, the customer will receive an
immediate report from Scott, both verbally and in writing,
explaining the good and bad points of the home. Shortly after the
inspection, a written and photo follow-up will be sent to the
customer. Scott's job will be to remain totally unbiased and
provide information about the home, so that the customer can make
an informed decision for his/herself.
Until the 1980's, home inspections were almost nonexistent.
However, they are becoming one of the most rapidly expanding areas
of the real estate industry. NYS just recently passed laws
requiring home inspectors to certified. That means that no longer
can someone hang a sign on their door calling himself or herself a
"home inspector." Considering that a home is one of the largest
investments that a consumer can make, that is quite comforting.
So... if you find yourself needing some "Peace of Mind," use the
email form on this website or give Scott a call at 315-287-7487 or
315-778-9765 to schedule an appointment or to get more information
about home inspections. He looks forward to hearing from you.
