Buying a house or condo is one of life's biggest decisions. Before you close, you'll want a NJ Home Inspector to conduct a thorough inspection of the house or condo to ascertain its condition on the inspection date. Excluding: Radon and Termites, which can be provided for an additional fee. Environment testing is not covered in a general home inspection (Mold, Asbestos, Lead Paint, Underground Oil Tanks, etc.)

I'm the NJ Home Inspector who will answer all your questions and leave you with a wealth of knowledge about your new home and how to operate and take care of it. I take great pride in my work and trying to answer all your questions during and after the inspection. I'm a member in good standing of the National Association of Certified Home Inspectors as well as the American Society of Home Inspector.
Termites and other wood destroying insects such as carpenter ants can do massive damage to a home and greatly impact its value. In humid areas where termites are a problem, it's not unusual to find many homes that have been virtually hollowed out, their wood siding turning to dust at a touch. There are many steps you can take toward preventing infestation if you know what termites look for and take steps to make your home less attractive to them.
Radon is a radioactive gas that comes from the breakdown of naturally occurring uranium in soil and rock. It is invisible, odorless and tasteless, and can only be detected by specialized tests. Radon enters homes through openings that are in contact with the ground, such as cracks in the foundation, small openings around pipes, and sump pits.
Of all the problems you can encounter around the house, roofing problems are by far the sneakiest. Leaks can develop unnoticed for years causing rot, mold, warping and other expensive damage. Experts recommend that you go into your attic or crawlspace at least once a year after a rainstorm to check for leaks and water damage.
Plumbing problems usually revolve around one of three things: clogs, leaks, or drips. It pays to be familiar with your plumbing system so you can minimize the damage caused by plumbing problems as well as fix minor problems on your own. The most important thing you can do is find out where the main water shutoff valve is and how to turn it off.

I found Luciano to be very thorough. He went through the condo completely. He answered all my questions. He is very knowledgeable and friendly. I received the report that same day with pictures and a complete write up of all the items inspected. Would definitely recommend him and use his company in the future for any home purchases.

Luciano was a great, smart, thorough, and enthusiastic inspector! He arrived at the property early and was very professional yet funny. He walked through the entire property, section by section, and explained everything to us honestly and answered all of our questions! He not only inspected the place to tell us whether something was good or bad but he also explained how things worked and what he recommended for improvement. We learned so much about the details of the property and how to maintain certain aspects of the property. He was also very quick to email us back the report so we'd be

My husband and I have used Luciano twice so far for an inspection on 2 different properties. He is amazing at what he does! Luciano is professional, but also funny and very down to earth. He is very thorough in his inspection, extremely detailed, and very knowledgeable. We had our inspection at 9am, and Luciano sent us the detailed report by 7pm that same day! We are so happy he was referred to us and we would refer him to anyone who is looking for an inspector!

Mr. Luciano is extremely informative and professional. I am a first time homeowner and I had so many questions. He was able to answer my questions and address any concerns I had. He took his time and checked each floor. He provided me with some great pointers and also ways on cutting energy usage. Truly an honest professional.

He was very helpful and informative. We had questions and he was very open to answering them all, regardless of how simple it may be. He was very thorough, especially when it came to the basement. He explained how things worked and gave us general ideas of how long things last and tips on maintenance.

Very thorough and informative, as well as a pleasure to work with. Luciano was early to the site and began working right way on the exterior, going above and beyond given all of the recent snowfall. He maintained social distancing and wore a mask throughout the inspection. Luciano referenced a story in which he was educating trainee inspectors on a job site and for us it definitely made sense - he is an educator throughout his process and earned our full trust and confidence. I would 100% recommend him for your home inspection

Do yourself a favor and hire Mr. Home Inspector if your looking to move or sell your home! My husband and I bought our home a few months ago, as a new home buyer we were very unaware of all the things you should look into before buying your home. Luciano was awesome, super friendly, 100% knowledgeable and truly takes the time to do a full inspection and walk you through and explain everything. Post moving into our home, we couldn't figure out how to turn on the gas fire place and we had no idea who to call. We ended up calling Luciano and he took the time to walk us through troubleshooting

Mister Home Inspector Luciano parked his car across the street from the scheduled site at 8:55AM, five minutes earlier than scheduled. He then proceeded to quickly put on protective equipment during this coronavirus crisis prior to entering the unit. On our way up, Mr home inspector began sharing his wealth of knowledge about both North Bergen as well as various hot spots or things to check in the unit. He performed a thorough and fair job, clearly unbiased and with the intent only providing as many insights about the condition of the unit as possible. Within 45 minutes Mr home inspector Luciano

Luciano is the best. He is extremly thorough and detail oriented. He arrived on time and give me pertinent and valuable advice. He might have saved me from buying a terrifying money pit that I thought only had cosmetic issues.
He is a businessman with integrity and I will make sure to go to him for all of my future inspection needs.

I've gone through a few inspections, and hands down, Luciano is THE MAN I would trust to inspect any future home.
My inspection started at 9AM, and Luciano was there on the dot. He began with the outside, roof and worked his way through the backyard and into the house itself.
Luciano was extremely knowledgeable, thorough, and provided great explanations to what he was doing and the rationale behind his inspections. He answered all my questions and concerns and ensured his report would contain his findings and recommendations.

Luciano provided us with an extremely thorough home inspection and home inspection report. He welcomed and answered all of our questions (and we had many!) and offered clear and practical recommendations for the issues he identified. I am absolutely thrilled that we hired Luciano and would strongly recommend him to anyone buying a home.

We worked with Luciano for the inspection of a property we are considering. And Luciano was amazing from the first phone call. He is extremely friendly, happy to explain and talk through anything you need for the inspection. He showed up before time and was beyond fantastic in going through each and every aspect of our home. He taught us a lot about the house, the electrical, plumbing, construction and the whole nine yards. He did not cut corners, he flipped every switch, pressed every button, locked and unlocked every door, and the other extremely strenuous processes of a house inspection. He

He told us our HVAC system was old but fine during a pre-purchase home inspection. It started leaking once we moved in. 2 HVAC companies pointed out the entire system was rusted out and they showed us leaking next to the electrical system, making it a hazard. So, within a month of moving in, we had to replace our HVAC. If Mr Home Inspector had correctly described these issues in his report, we could've tried to negotiate the home purchase price down, or we could've gotten a credit. A costly mistake.

As a real estate professional, having the right partnerships is key and vital to my teams success. I can honestly say for the last 4 years, Luciano is ALWAYS my go to guy for real estate homes inspections. He is extremely thorough and knows the ins and outs of the property. If you do not learn something new from his inspection, you clearly were not paying attention. He also takes something that can be a little boring and load with information and laughs. Best of all, Luciano produces the inspection report the same day which is sometimes just unheard of.

Luciano was fantastic! I recently had another Inspection done on a previous property that I was looking to purchase by another Inspector and there is NO COMPARISON! Luciano wins hands down! When I say, EXTREMELY detailed, that is exactly what I mean! Luciano examines every aspect of the home and explains every single item to you along the way; you can ask questions as he explains and he takes the time to explain without getting frustrated. I feel like he really does have your best interest at heart and wants you to be as informed as possible when making the largest financial purchase of your

Luciano was incredibly curt & arrogant. He quoted a price 50% above market average and refused to give details about additional features that Mr Home Inspector offered. We decided to move ahead with another inspector after that.
Edit: I'm unable to reply to the comment made by the owner, so updating the review instead. He did NOT quote $100 more, it was $185 which IS 50% higher than other quotes (300). Please check your facts again.
Secondly, I didn't even care about the price that much, he's still missing the point. Anyways, the review speaks for itself.

Booked Lucian for a home inspection on the house in renting. He emailed me 24 hours before the inspection. That he wants to raise the price from 625 to 695 becuase Zillow says it's a 4 bedroom house. I told him that it's a 3 bedroom and Zillow is wrong.
He canceled the inspection leaving me high and dry.
Very unprofessional, would not recommend.
