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.

We’re in the process of buying our first home, and Mike just recently did a home inspection for us. He not only helped us locate every issue or potential issue, but he also had solutions and fixes to every single one that presented itself. He’s a very informative and in depth! His reports were done the very next day so we didn’t have to prolong the already long process of buying a home. I would 10/10 recommend Mike with Professional Property Inspection for your next inspection!!!Posted on Google![]()

Mike recently inspected our newly purchased home and he was exactly as advertised - professional, thorough, and reliable. He was accommodating from the start, rearranging his schedule to work within our contractual obligations. He was professional and thorough. He took the time to ensure we understood the risks of leaving some items unaddressed and highlighted areas we could improve in the future. His work was fairly priced, and a detailed report was sent the next day, as promised. He is clearly passionate about what he does and was great at breaking down complex systems into simple terms so we could understand exactly what we were getting. We can’t recommend his services enough.Posted on Google![]()
