Frequently Asked Questions

Got questions? We have answers. If you don't see your question here, feel free to call us.

While it's not required, we highly recommend it. Being there allows you to see what the inspector sees, ask questions in real-time, and get a better understanding of the home's condition than a report alone can provide.

Most inspections take between 2 to 3 hours, depending on the size, age, and condition of the property. We take our time to ensure nothing is overlooked.

We know time is of the essence in real estate transactions. You will receive your detailed, digital report on the same day as the inspection, typically within a few hours of completion.

No house is perfect, not even brand new ones. If we find issues, it doesn't mean you shouldn't buy the house. It gives you the knowledge to negotiate price or repairs, or simply to know what potential costs generally lie ahead.

Yes, absolutely. Vincent Fundaro is a NY State Licensed Home Inspector (#16000066020) and fully insured. We are also InterNACHI Certified, adhering to the highest standards in the industry.
