Home Inspections in Larchmont, NY for Older Sound-Shore Homes

Long GCS corp. is the home inspector that smart buyers and sellers in Larchmont call first

Larchmont’s charm is its housing stock: 1920s Tudors and Colonials, the tree-lined streets of the Manor near Long Island Sound, and a lot of homes approaching (or past) the century mark. Pretty as they are, these homes hide moisture, masonry, and dated-system issues that a generic inspection misses, and proximity to the Sound puts some properties near flood zones. Chris Long knows Westchester’s older home types inside and out, with 45+ years of experience, licensed NY & CT and ASHI-certified.

What Clients Say

Real experiences from homeowners who trusted Longs GCS Home Inspections.

“We used Chris for an inspection on an old Tudor. He was referred by friends who called him the best inspector in Westchester, and we still feel like they undersold him. He clearly has extensive experience and knows the area and the home types very well.”
