My interest in Home Inspection started shortly after buying a home. The home inspector that I hired spent 1 hour walking thru my house. He then handed me a confusing, incomplete report and asked for $375. After moving into my new home, I found out that his report had failed to mention several different safety issues that I wish I had been aware of prior to closing.
I knew that I could do a better job and felt that there was a need in the industry for inspectors that were not beholden to the real estate agent. My major concern is that my clients, the buyer, be made fully aware of the actual cost of the house they are looking to buy.

Buying a home? The process can be stressful. A home inspection is supposed to give you peace of mind, but often has the opposite effect. You will be asked to absorb a lot of information in a short time. This often includes a written report, checklist, photographs, environmental reports, and what the inspector himself says during the inspection.
Unlike most professionals, you probably will not get to meet us until after you hire us. Furthermore, different inspectors have varying qualifications, equipment, experience, reporting methods - and yes, different pricing. One thing for sure is that a home inspection requires work - a lot of work! Ultimately a thorough inspection depends heavily on the individual inspector's own effort.
Having your home inspected by a NACHI inspector before you list is the recommendation found in the new edition of the book, Sell Your Home For More by Nick Gromicko. It may alert you of items of immediate personal concern, such as radon gas or active termite infestation. It reduces your liability by adding professional supporting documentation to your disclosure statement.

This guy is absolutely inept... He was scheduled to do an insurance inspection on our location @ 39 Main Street in Canton, NY. This guy came and "inspected" it once... Ruled it as vacant... He called once, left a voicemail... He called back and left a voicemail too explaining when we could meet... He acted incredibly rushed in all exchanges... He even came into the office the next day when our employee was still there & STILL ruled it as vacant. He is rude, dismissive, & doesn't deserve to be hired by ANYONE in this area. Avoid JAMES BLUNT at all costs... "The Best In Insurance Inspections".. His

Dan Osborn recently inspected a home for me. He demonstrated his expertise flawlessly, effectively highlighting areas of major concern. He was also able to make strong recommendations for home upkeep. He arrived on time and did an extremely thorough job. I found his fee to be average across those found online. I recommend Dan Osborn, owner of Upstate Home Inspection Service, without reservation.
