New York Home Inspections

A good home inspector must be a generalist rather than a specialist and will recommend the expertise of a variety of specialists including electricians, plumbers, carpenters, exterminators, roofer’s, general contractors and sometimes even design professionals such as structural engineers or architects. This is similar to a family Physician recommending that a patient seek out the advice of a heart specialist for a particular issue.

All of the inspectors at Safe Harbor Inspections Inc. have solid experience in all of the areas indicated above and can be trusted to perform the best home inspections available today.

Concise, Accurate and Meaningful Reporting

In addition to having a solid generalist background, the home inspector must understand the various aspects of real estate transactions and be able to communicate the important findings of the inspection to the client in an unbiased, objective and concise manner. For example, the home inspector must not report problems as an alarmist or in such a way that could cause the client to interpret the information out of context or make inappropriate decisions regarding the real estate transaction.

Ethics And Honesty

As in most industries today, ethics plays a large role. Your home inspection company should never be in a position whereby they can profit from recommendations made during the inspection. For example some inspectors will recommend a specific electrician and receive a commission from the electrician. This is a violation of the code of ethics in effect for most home inspector associations. Safe Harbor Inspections Inc. never receives money from any company that may provide services to the homeowner as a result of the inspection. In fact, we make it a practice to recommend a specific trade rather than a specific company for work that needs to be done as a result of the home inspection. As can be seen in our mission statement, integrity, professionalism and ethics are very important to Safe Harbor Inspections Inc.

Computer And Reporting Technology

With the variety of computer technology available today, a good home inspection firm will offer comprehensive computer generated reports complete with photos which help explain the results of a home inspection. This report should be available to the client shortly after the home inspection and it can even be generated on-site. The report should be able to be emailed to the client, and at the client’s request should be available on a secure web site on the Internet. Safe Harbor Inspections Inc. utilizes the latest in technology including very lightweight "tablet" computers, digital photography, the latest in home inspection software and portable/mobile office technology. Safe Harbor Inspections Inc. is committed to providing clients the benefits of timely and accurate information available through the use of the latest in technology.
