“Thank You Meticulous and Ray Wilson.  Your commitment and honesty saved me. ”

Buyers & Sellers - Why you should insist on Meticulous Home Inspection services...

Buyers:   Our goal is not to facilitate the sale but to inform the buyer on what exactly you are purchasing. While we do get some referral business from real estate agents, we do not make it out mainstay. Our sole purpose is to inform the purchaser through an honest and highly detailed inspection report which is delivered the next day via email.

Sellers: A thorough pre-listing inspection BEFORE you advertise your house is the best way to avoid price reductions after the buyers’ inspector finishes. Almost everyone wants a price reduction when issues come up, but you can beat them to the punch if you address the issues beforehand, or have repair quotes by licensed professionals ready. Some inspectors make a $5000 mountain out of a $500 molehill.

The Honest Truth About Using the Realtor's recommended Home Inspector

Group 2

Should You Use The Realtor's Home Inspector Recommendation?

Although most buyers and sellers like and trust their real estate agents, and almost all agents are fair and honest people... It is also true that they only make money once the house is sold.   This FACT simply puts them in an awkward position when it comes time to recommending the home inspection company.


Meticulous Home Inspection does not get many referrals from real estate agents. Instead, our referrals come from buyers who are thrilled they called us and received a non-bias, thorough and detailed home inspection. Take a moment to view our Google reviews.  You will KNOW in moments how we feel about providing the unbiased truth in our home inspection services.

Group 2

Can My Realtor's Home Inspector Be Trusted?

If the Inspector is a person of integrity then absolutely he can be trusted.  Especially when it comes to a major inspection issue, the Home Inspector's reputation and sense of duty should guide them.


But what about the small stuff?  Let's face it, if a home inspector is constantly pointing out major and minor flaws in a home to a potential buyer it is very possible the buyer decides to pull out of a deal or negotiate the price down.  If you do this enough to a realtor that inspector will eventually be replaced by someone who might not be as meticulous. 

And now you know why Meticulous Home Inspection is not on your realtor's rolodex (or smart phone contact list).

Group 2

Should I Look For A Home Inspector  With Many Years Experience?

Even with multiple years of inspection experience not every Home Inspector has the knowledge required to do a Meticulous inspection.   At Meticulous Home Inspection, we not only have 17 years of experience in home inspection, but we have a lifetime of experience in home improvement and construction.  We didn't just take a course in inspection services.. We lived it!


With decades of hands-on experience in all areas of home construction. From the foundation to the roof, from the underground plumbing to the chimney cap, inside and out...we have seen it all.   When we combine that knowledge with our diligence and integrity you are guaranteed the very best in home inspection service.

EACH INSPECTION IS CARRIED OUT IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE NEW YORK STATE STANDARDS OF PRACTICE AND CODE OF ETHICS FOR HOME INSPECTORS.


Home inspectors are required to be licensed through New York State, and are required by the New York State Department of State to be insured with a General Liability policy. Moreover, home inspectors In New York State are required to receive continuing education credits at officially sanctioned educational seminars. Home inspectors cannot keep this license without getting the required continuing education credits every year. The president of Meticulous Home Inspection Corp. attends these classes annually.


Our New York State license number is 16000008857.



Inspectors offering 'FREE' termite inspection CANNOT TREAT for termites & wood destroying insects!

Meticulous Home Inspection Corp. has found termites - even in BRAND NEW HOMES!  See the shelter tube in the adjacent picture.  Termites build these tubes from sand/soil and their secretions and travel within these tubes as they forage for cellulose (typically found in lumber), then bring the cellulose back to the colony.

 

The Meticulous Difference:

We bring a separate full service wood-destroying-insect contractor who treats homes and businesses daily for termites, carpenter ants, carpenter bees, and powder post beetles.  There are some home inspectors that advertise “free termite inspection” with their home inspections, but without an Applicator’s license, home inspectors cannot  treat for wood destroying insects, nor install and monitor bait stations. 


Most importantly, it doesn't cost any more as most home inspection companies are in the same price range anyway. Plus, when you hire Meticulous Home Inspection for a Long Island and New York City home inspection, you are getting a second set of eyes examining the most important part of the home - the foundation.
