Above Grade Home Inspections
We deliver a thorough and professional assessment of your home from the top of the roof down to the foundations so we can thoroughly report on the state of your structure. Radon is capable of penetrating a variety of building materials that make up the structure of your home. Before you buy or sell a home, it's a good idea to have the water tested just so you know exactly what's running through the pipes.

Nothing is more important than finding these infestations and eradicating them before more damage can be done. Thermographic cameras capture images to reveal information about your home that cannot be seen by the naked eye. Chuck was absolutely phenomenal to work with. He is quick, knowledgeable, and dedicated to his work.
Services
For over 22 years, Above Grade Home Inspections has been providing New York State with the highest quality residential home inspections available. We dont stop at a clip board and industry certifications, we combine our extensive knowledge of the inspection industry with the latest technology to create inspections with unsurpassed thoroughness and accuracy.
At Above Grade Home Inspections, we understand the importance of maintaining your property. Not only is real estate a major investment that you hope to see a return on, but it serves as your home in the meantime, providing a safe and comfortable living space for you and your family.

Our job is to inspect your property from top to bottom in order to pinpoint any defects that could compromise the value and safety of your structure, or that are not in keeping with city building codes, applicable permits, or other regulations.When you understand the issues you face, you can undertake necessary repairs and modifications to keep your home in ship shape.
A full home inspection is an in-depth, visual examination of your structure, both inside and out, meant to determine the relative condition of your home, including specific elements. It is not an appraisal, and you don't "pass" or "fail" this type of inspection. It is merely designed to alert homeowners to possible issues with the condition of the home so that they can be addressed.
It's natural for homeowners to be concerned about the quality of their drinking water. Although water quality for public consumption is strictly regulated by the EPA (except for private wells), and the U.S. enjoys among the safest water supplies in the world, you may still wonder exactly what is in the water that comes out of your tap.
Even if you don't know everything that goes into a home inspection, you probably know that it has to do with making sure your structure is fit for habitation and that it is up to code.

There's a lot more to examining the condition of your home, however, and at Above Grade Home Inspections, we consider it our duty to deliver the most complete and thorough report on your house so that you have the greatest opportunity to ensure a safe and comfortable environment for your family.Along these lines, Above Grade Home Inspections is proud to provide a slew of services that go above and beyond the average home inspection.

Swede and he was able to schedule me within a day! He did a full inspection on a condo we are buying and was able to save us some money which is always great.

I'm very happy with the fast and very professional service. I called and left a message and my call was returned in minutes. I spoke with Chuck. He understood that I needed to have the inspection done quickly so that I could go to contract and he did. He is a very nice guy (also funny) and did a wonderful job walking me through every step of the inspection. When he saw something odd he was able to very quickly figure out what was going on. Sadly I did not end up buying the house but I thank Chuck for saving the HUGE amount of money it would have cost me to do all of the repairs.

TJ is the best!! Sadly I did have to have more than one home inspections, but having TJ on my side made it easy. He was professional, fairly priced, knowledgeable, punctual, and so easy to deal with. He was very thorough with the inspections and went over everything with me when he finished. I would 100% recommend him to anyone in need of a home inspection.

I called Todd for my home inspection and he was great to work with! He was able to do my inspection that same week and was available to answer any questions I had. I arrived to my appointment a bit early and he was already there having completed the exterior inspection! He reviewed all findings with me and I had the detailed report the next morning. As a first time home buyer I am very happy to have someone who is as helpful and professional as Todd!

Todd Dickel was our home inspector. He was absolutely fantastic. Incredibly thorough in not only the inspection, but also his explanation. His report is very easy to navigate and understand. He also uses a drone to inspect the room. Easily one of the best I have ever worked with.

Skepticism says when a service is too good (5 stars), then there is an underlining factor behind what they really provide. On 11/8/2017, I wrote a review on Dickel Home Inspection and gave 5 stars. I stated that I would 100% used them again. I had the pleasure of having Mr. Dickel Sr. inspect our first home inquiry and now we had the pleasure of having Mr. Dickel Jr. come out and inspect a home that my wife and I decided to purchase. After my first experience, I did not hesitate to call and request another inspection of this new home. When you are purchasing a dream home or starter home, your investment
