Home Sweet Home Inspections

read moreOur Long Island Home Inspection includes the structural components and mechanical systems in a home. We also include a wood destroying insect report (termite inspection) and certification. Home Sweet Home's inspectors include photos in our reports and get the report to you the next business day. We offer knowledge as well as peace of mind. You will be fully informed about the home during the inspection and we are always available for questions at any time. We perform inspections 7 days a week. Most home inspectors say they provide the best or most comprehensive report in the industry but those reports are less detailed than our reports.

A Move-In Certified home has been pre-inspected, which means that the seller can confirm that there are no major systems in need of immediate repair or replacement, and no known safety hazards. A Move-In Certified Seller Inspection informs you of any defects or problems with your home so that you can address them before prospective buyers discover them. You can then take the time you need to obtain reasonable repair estimates.

Listing agents also may choose to pay for the inspection on behalf of their clients as part of their listing services. Ultimately, the seller will be the inspector's client and will receive the final report. One of the biggest advantages a pre-listing inspection delivers sellers and listings agents is the ability for them to pinpoint key issues or major repairs before the house goes on the market. It's important that listing agents be the most knowledgeable person in the deal.

We test all the mechanical systems (plumbing, heating, cooling, waste discharge), as well as the appliances. We check for any moisture issues within the home. We check everything on the exterior (sheds, decks, patios, garages).We check the soil grading and the vegetation around the home. We include a termite inspection on the NPMA 33 form, which is required by the banks for closing.

This inspection is perfect for foreclosures, vandalized houses, or people who will be flipping/gutting a house after purchase, where most of the systems have been or will be removed and replaced. This inspection will ensure the "bones" of the house are structurally sound and properly built.

read moreHome Inspection is one of the most misunderstood and misguided activities in the sale or purchase of a home. It's critical to know what to expect and which Home Inspectors are qualified to do the job right. If you aren't aware of these things, it could negatively affect the value of your home. Buying a Home is an emotional event. This makes it difficult for home buyers to remain completely objective about the property they desire, which may lead to a poor assessment. Even the most experienced home buyer lacks the knowledge of all components and systems of a building.
