We’ve inspected homes across Westchester County, from historic properties in Larchmont Manor to newer homes near Boston Post Road and Murray Avenue. Whether you’re buying, selling, or simply maintaining your home, we give you straightforward answers you can trust.
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 home inspection covers all major systems and structures that affect the safety, value, and performance of your home:
Larchmont’s homes offer a mix of architectural character and coastal exposure. Historic residences in Larchmont Manor and Orienta often feature fieldstone foundations, original plumbing, and wood framing that need expert evaluation. Coastal homes near the Sound face salt air corrosion, basement humidity, and foundation moisture.
We’ve inspected hundreds of homes across Westchester’s shoreline communities and understand how local climate, soil, and construction styles affect each property differently. You’ll receive guidance rooted in local experience, never generic assumptions.
Most single-family home inspections take 2–3 hours, depending on size and age. Larger or historic homes may take longer. You’ll receive your report within 24 hours.
Yes. We have extensive experience with older homes in Larchmont Manor, Chatsworth Avenue, and Orienta, where aging materials and prior renovations require a careful, informed approach.
Yes. Even coastal areas can have radon due to local geology. Testing is the only way to confirm safe indoor air levels, and our digital monitors provide accurate readings in 48 hours.
Absolutely. We encourage homeowners and buyers to attend. You’ll see what we see, get immediate explanations, and understand how each finding affects your home.
Yes. Many older Larchmont homes have galvanized or lead plumbing. We recommend water testing for metals and contaminants, especially if the home hasn’t been updated recently.
Yes. We regularly inspect units and shared systems in Larchmont’s multi-family and condo buildings. Our reports clarify what falls under homeowner versus association responsibility.
Most inspections range from $475–$750, depending on property size and add-on services. Quotes are always provided upfront with no hidden fees.
