Home Inspections in Central New York
The Home Inspection Experience
The inspection focuses primarily on identifying safety concerns, significant defects, and major components that may not be operating properly. I also discuss recommended improvements, ways the home may operate more safely and efficiently, and conditions that should be monitored over time.
BUYER’S HOME INSPECTION
A Complete Home Evaluation. Confidence Before You Buy.
A Buyer’s Home Inspection provides a thorough evaluation of the visible and accessible systems and components of the property. I help you better understand the home’s condition, identify potential safety or maintenance concerns, and know what you’re buying before you reach the closing table.
PRE-LISTING INSPECTION
Know Your Home’s Condition Before Buyers Do
A Pre-Listing Inspection provides a detailed evaluation of your home’s visible and accessible systems and components before it goes on the market. Identifying potential concerns early gives you more time to address repairs, understand your property, and prepare for the selling process.
HOME MAINTENANCE
A Well-Maintained Home. Greater Peace of Mind.
Owning a home doesn’t end after the inspection. Regular maintenance helps protect your investment, improve safety, and prevent costly repairs. Explore practical home maintenance tips, seasonal checklists, and expert advice to keep your home in excellent condition year-round.
A THOROUGH LOOK AT YOUR HOME
What is included in a home inspection?
A home inspection includes a thorough, visual evaluation of the home’s major accessible components and systems. This generally includes the exterior, interior, roof, heating and cooling systems, plumbing, electrical system, basement or crawl space, foundation, attic, and garage, when applicable.
- Roof, Attic & Structure
- Exterior (Siding, Windows, Doors, Decks, Driveways)
- Foundation & Crawl Space
- Plumbing System
- Electrical System
- Heating & Cooling Systems
- Insulation & Ventilation
- Interior (Walls, Ceilings, Floors, Stairs)
- Kitchen Appliances
- Bathrooms
- Fireplace & Chimney
- Garage
- Safety & Carbon Monoxide Detectors
PRECISION IN EVERY INSPECTION
Professional Inspection Equipment
Specialized equipment may be used to evaluate areas and conditions that cannot be adequately assessed through visual observation alone. Depending on the property, this may include:
- Infrared or laser temperature equipment to evaluate temperature differences and confirm the operation of heating and cooling systems
- Moisture meters to help determine whether visible staining or suspected moisture conditions may be active
- Electrical testing equipment to evaluate receptacle polarity, grounding, GFCI protection, and other electrical safety conditions
- Non-contact voltage testing equipment to help determine whether exposed wiring may be energized
- Aerial drone equipment to inspect otherwise inaccessible areas of roofs, chimneys, flashing, and other exterior components when the roof cannot be safely walked
An Inspection You Can Learn From
I make every reasonable effort to accommodate my clients’ schedules and encourage buyers to attend the inspection from beginning to end. This allows them to see important conditions firsthand, understand how the home operates, and ask questions throughout the process.
I take the time to explain my findings in clear, practical language. Clients should leave the inspection with a better understanding of the home, not simply a long list of concerns they do not understand.
My goal is to provide an inspection experience like no other: thorough, educational, professional, and focused on helping each client make a better-informed decision.

Mike was absolutely fantastic! He was punctual, professional, and incredibly knowledgeable throughout the entire home inspection. He took the time to walk us through everything as he went, explaining each detail thoroughly and making sure we understood what he was looking at. He was patient, approachable, and always made sure to ask if we had any questions. We truly appreciate his expertise and attention to detail, and we’re so grateful to have found him for our home inspection. We highly recommend Mike to anyone looking for a reliable, thorough, and professional home inspector. Thank you so much, Mike, for making this process such a positive experience!Posted on Google![]()

Exceptional isnt the word. We cannot recommend Mike Loiacano enough. He encouraged questions (and we asked a ton), he made sure we understood what he was inspecting and what would be needed to fix. Mike provided the results with 24 hours. I have family looking to downsize and they will definitely use Mike. 10 out of 10 Mike! Thank you for everything!Posted on Google![]()

We had our soon‑to‑be home inspected by Mike, and the experience was exceptional. He walked us through the entire process, explained his findings in a way that was easy to understand, and offered helpful advice on maintaining key areas of the home. He pointed out important safety considerations and things to keep an eye on, which made us feel secure and prepared as future homeowners. Mike was incredibly patient with all of our questions and never made us feel rushed. He took the time to make sure we fully understood everything, and he sent us the full inspection report right away, which gave us even more peace of mind. His professionalism, kindness, and attention to detail were outstanding. We’re truly grateful for his work and highly recommend him to anyone needing a reliable, thorough inspector.Posted on Google![]()
