Schedule Your Inspection
?How much does an Orange County home inspection cost?
Longs GCS does not publish a rate sheet. Orange jobs range from village lots to properties with barns and outbuildings, and time on site follows that. Size, age, well or septic, and radon testing all affect the fee. Call (914) 260-8571 with the listing address. You can also book online.
?Why does radon matter in Orange County?
The EPA maps all of Orange County as Zone 1, the highest predicted indoor radon potential. Two neighbors can still read very differently, which is why a map is not a test. Chris can place the canister during the inspection. Ask for it when you schedule so you are not adding a second vendor.
?Do you inspect barns and outbuildings in Orange County?
Accessible barns and outbuildings can be included when they are part of the property and you tell us at booking. Extra roofs, old wiring, and dirt floors take time. If the listing shows a barn, mention it on the call to (914) 260-8571 so the appointment is long enough.
?How soon is the Orange County inspection report ready?
Typically within 24 hours, often the same day, with photos and a follow-up call. Rural listings still get the same clock as a village house. Lab work follows the lab.
?Should I attend an Orange County home inspection?
Yes. Wells, septic, barns, and radon placement are easier to understand standing on the property. Chris will separate safety items from maintenance so you are not negotiating over a rusty hinge.
?Which Orange County towns does Longs GCS cover?
Montgomery, Blooming Grove, South Blooming Grove, and Thompson Ridge have their own pages. Call (914) 260-8571 with Walden, Maybrook, Washingtonville, or any other Orange address to confirm travel.
