Home Inspection

Our comprehensive home inspections evaluate structural integrity, electrical systems, plumbing, and environmental hazards. Using thermal imaging and drone technology, we identify hidden issues that could affect property value. Clients receive detailed reports with photographic evidence and repair recommendations to ensure informed decision-making.

I'm a first-time home-buyer, so I wasn't sure what constitutes a good inspection. After speaking with folks afterward, I'm fairly confident this was not one of those. As mentioned by another reviewer, he had a handy test-for-water-damage tool he carried around. I was really confused when he stopped using it halfway through the inspection. He didn't even pull it out in the back bathroom. I asked him about it a few times, but he seemed so confident in his dismissals that I let it go. The big one, though - The extent of his electrical inspection was to look at the labels

The entire process was seamless from scheduling the inspection to receiving the electronic report less than 24 hours after the inspection. Dov was extremely thorough and explained everything he was assessing and how his assessments were made. The individual scheduling the inspection was very helpful and everything was done electronically including payment and the final report. Would highly recommend NY Inspect.

Dov was extremely thorough and even educated us on what he was looking at, such as the date stamp on the windows. I never thought a home inspection could be entertaining, but it was! I'd recommend Dov to anyone.

We used Dov to inspect our home before moving into it. He was very thorough and detailed, about 32 pages in total with specific suggestions and highlights. The report helped me see where we needed to add reinforcements in the home and where we needed to of make significant improvements. Areas such as the basement and a bathroom. I was very happy with the information I received and was able to use it when consulting a contractor.

We've used Dov 3 times and felt he is knowledgable and candid. He might not explain every detail, but he has no problem with my persistent questions and need for explanations. He also took time to talk to me on phone after submitting the report to elaborate on areas of concern.

I was very pleased with the quality of Dov's inspection. He was very personable and clearly quite experienced. His thermal imager found a moisture leakage in the roof that was invisible to the naked eye, which probably ended up saving a lot of repair money down the line. I would absolutely recommend him as a quality home inspector. So why not 5 stars? I originally scheduled the inspection online and was quoted a lower price than the inspection ended up being. The prices were apparently out of date, and to his credit he has since disabled the feature, but I did feel a bit misled at the time

Dov Herman is a true professional! Dov has a very well run home inspection business. Not only do I use him personally for my business and my clients but I refer him all the time.

Dov, is super efficient and has equipment that the other outdated guys do not. He uses infrared cameras to check the quality of studs, search for any leaks or any abnormalities throughout the inspection. From A-Z Dov gets an A+. Service, top of the line. Customer service, appointment booking and confirmation along with his PDF same day home inspection report is flawless!

Dov inspects a home from top to bottom and is
