Providing Whole Home Inspections & Consulting Services
in the Lower Hudson Valley area of NY & Fairfield County, CT
Chappaqua draws families for its schools and its easy Metro-North commute, which means competitive offers, fast timelines, and a housing stock that ranges from mid-century splits to classic colonials. Many homes here sit on septic systems and wells outside the village center, and most are old enough that the mechanicals deserve a careful look. Chris Long gives Chappaqua buyers the thorough, plain-English inspection they need to bid and buy with confidence, 45+ years experience, licensed NY & CT, ASHI-certified.
Buying a home in Chappaqua is a big step and an even bigger investment. Older homes here can come with surprises you don’t want to discover after closing. We inspect the whole house, top to bottom, so you understand what you're really buying. You’ll get a clear, detailed report and the peace of mind that nothing’s been left to chance.
If you’re making a quick offer on an “as-is” home, we’ll walk through it with you and point out major concerns on the spot. It’s fast, honest feedback that helps you make smarter choices without losing momentum.
Chappaqua homes often have aging systems and quiet issues you won’t see during a casual tour. We check everything we can access (structure, plumbing, HVAC, electrical) and explain what’s working, what’s not, and what could cost you later.
Even new homes can have issues, and in Chappaqua, you’re paying a premium. Before you sign off on your final walkthrough, we’ll check that everything is installed properly and functioning as it should. From heating systems to insulation, we make sure your new home is move-in ready and built to last.
Selling in Chappaqua? The buyers will bring an inspector. Beat them to it. Our pre-listing inspections help you spot issues early, fix what matters, and present your home with confidence. In a market where buyers are selective, being upfront can save you time and protect your asking price.
Chappaqua’s older homes and changing seasons can do a number on your property. A yearly inspection helps catch small problems like roof wear or drainage issues before they turn into expensive repairs. It’s a simple way to protect your investment and avoid nasty surprises later.

“As a first-time home buyer, he gave me a very helpful ‘house for dummies’ book to read as homework. He is extremely knowledgeable, detailed, and fantastic to work with. A great teacher if you are a first-time dummy like me.”
