• I have over 30 years experience in the building trades, industrial quality
    assurance, and computer science.
  • Like most inspectors working today I have a background in construction,
    but just because you can build a house does not automatically qualify you
    to perform a proper inspection. I have over 250 hours of classroom and
    practical training directly related to the home inspection industry.
  • I am a member in good standing of the Independent Home Inspectors of
    North America (IHINA). I am also certified by the American Home Inspectors
    Training Institute (AHIT).
  • I am fully licensed by the State of New York
  • I am fully insured
  • I fulfill at least 20 hours of continuing education every year. This insures
    that I am always up to date on the latest issues facing the home
    inspection industry
  • My inspections exceed the requirements of the National Association of
    Certified Home Inspectors Standards of Practice
  • I own and use the latest tools and technology

My Promise to You...

Choosing the right home inspector can be difficult.  
Unlike most professionals, you will probably not get to
meet me until after you hire me.  Furthermore, different
inspectors have varying qualifications, equipment,
experience, reporting methods, and yes, pricing.  One
thing for sure is that a home inspection requires work, a
lot of work.  Ultimately a thorough inspection depends
heavily on the individual inspectors own efforts.  If you
honor me by permitting me to inspect your home, I
guarantee that I will give you my very best effort.  This I
promise you.
