Buying a home in Mamaroneck, New York is a major step and your inspection should bring confidence, not confusion. At Nearwater Property Group, we provide calm, thorough inspections that give you clear answers about your home’s true condition.
We’ve inspected homes throughout Westchester County, from the coastal streets of Harbor Heights and Oriental Gardens to older neighborhoods near Palmer Avenue and Florence Street. Whether you’re buying, selling, or maintaining your home, we’ll help you understand what’s happening beneath the surface without unnecessary drama.
Our mission is simple: deliver calm, confident clarity. We don’t overcomplicate findings or dramatize defects. You’ll receive a clear, balanced report designed to help you make informed decisions about your home.
Every inspection is performed with precision and attention to detail, covering all systems that affect your home’s safety, structure, and function:
Mamaroneck homes face unique environmental conditions, especially in flood-prone areas near the Mamaroneck River and Harbor Island Park. Homes in these zones often need special attention to foundation waterproofing, drainage grading, and electrical safety.
Inland neighborhoods, like those near Rockland Avenue and Plains Boulevard, feature older homes that may still have original wiring, cast-iron plumbing, or oil heat systems. Our inspectors understand the difference between typical aging and true structural concerns and we explain both clearly.
We’ve worked with hundreds of buyers and agents across the Sound Shore area, and we know how to tailor each inspection to the property’s age, construction, and location.
Most inspections take 2–3 hours, depending on the home’s size and age. Larger or multi-unit homes may take longer. Your report will be ready within 24 hours.
Yes. We frequently inspect properties near Harbor Island Park, Shore Acres, and Mamaroneck Avenue, where flooding and high humidity can affect basements, siding, and foundations.
Yes. While many waterfront homes have better air movement, radon can still accumulate in lower levels and basements. Testing is the only way to know for sure.
Absolutely. We encourage buyers and homeowners to attend. You’ll see what we see, ask questions, and understand what’s normal versus what needs attention.
Yes. We provide full water quality testing especially valuable in older homes or those with private wells. All results are analyzed by a certified lab.
Yes. We inspect individual units and shared systems in Mamaroneck condos and co-ops, explaining what’s covered by the homeowner versus the association.
Most range between $475 and $750, depending on property size and optional testing. We always provide transparent pricing before scheduling.
