Navigation"Hi Guys,
Just wanted to say how pleased I was with the work that you did for my Long island home inspection. From beginning to end the inspectors were professional, courteous and above all, informative. The inspection report was easy to read and the supplemental materials are great. I especially liked that I was able to have the termite inspection completed at the time of the initial inspection. Thanks again for a job well done. I won't hesitate to recommend you in the future to friends and family."

Money Magazine Article on Short Sales and an InspectionSubmitted by HankJaworowski on March 27, 2010 - 1:27pm.In the March 2010 issue of Money Magazine an article appears titled "Making The Right Moves" by Amanda Gengler. This is an excerpt from this article: "If you're in the market for a new home, you may be tempted by the low prices on bank-owned properties, which are going for about 30% less than seller-owned homes. But be prepared to come in with a hefty down payment (at least 20% to 25%) to compete with investors offering banks all-cash or significant cash deals. Be aware too that many of these homes need serious repairs, and you don't always have a chance to check them out before bidding. If you can't get a thorough inspection, WALK AWAY." Unfortunately the banks make it difficult to impossible to do a thorough inspection due to the fact that the water, electric and heating system are sometimes turned off. The banks seem to have a mentality that since the house is at such a "bargain" price either you take it as is or someone else will. If you were thinking that you could have the utilities turned on yourself.....good luck because this is very unlikely (you do not own the home). Unless the house price would reflect the worst case scenario, which would be installing a new plumbing, electric and HVAC system, we agree that walking away is the right move. Reply |

"After already having one home inspection previously by another individual/business, these guys blew him away in their thoroughness, likeability, and knowledge. On top of that, they have the educational degrees and contractor backgrounds to really know how things should be done. Lastly, they provided me with alternatives and ways to fix problems, along with anticipated costs and needs. I thank them so much and am excited to move into our new home soon." ---Dan C. Wantagh, NY "I was intrigued and impressed by the model of two inspectors, and appreciated their quick reply and ease of scheduling. We've used Precision twice now, for two separate homes, and could not be more satisfied. They have a distinct focus on educating the owner about the house they are purchasing. And not just about the house as it is, but forward-looking maintenance, too. They were thorough, spent time answering our questions, and provided a very clear, easy to read report with many photographs. We could not offer a stronger endorsement of using them for a Long Island Home Inspection." -- Todd P., Ph.D., Port Jefferson, NY" "Thank you so much Precision Home Inspection for your thorough and professional Long Island home inspection. You took the time to walk me through the whole home explaining everything every step of the way and made me confident in my purchase going into closing. I thank you for also being available and flexible for my final walk through. I will recommend your service to anyone purchasing a home."- D. Pickett |
