Providing Whole Home Inspections & Consulting Services
in the Lower Hudson Valley area of NY & Fairfield County, CT
Pound Ridge is the most rural corner of Westchester: large wooded lots, conservation land, winding roads, and homes tucked deep in the trees. There’s no municipal sewer here and no town water for most properties, virtually every home runs on its own well and septic, and the site itself (grading, drainage, slope) matters as much as the structure. That’s a very different inspection than a village home, and Chris Long has 45+ years doing exactly this kind of work. Licensed NY & CT, ASHI-certified.
Before you make an offer in Pound Ridge, you want to know what you're getting into. We examine the full property (inside and out) so you understand its condition, systems, and potential costs. Our inspections help you make informed decisions, whether you're bidding on a historic home or a more modern build tucked deep in the woods.
Sometimes, there’s no time for a full inspection before offers are due. That’s where a focused walkthrough helps. We take a close look at the major areas of concern. This includes structural signs, roofing, moisture, visible electrical or plumbing issues. Our home inspection service in Pound Ridge, NY gives you immediate clarity before you commit.
Before committing to a home in Pound Ridge, it’s critical to understand its true condition. We provide a full inspection of structure, systems, and visible issues so you can move forward with clarity, not assumptions.
New doesn’t always mean perfect. Before closing on a newly built home, we make sure everything is complete, properly installed, and ready for move-in. This includes utilities and finishes to safety features and final details.
If you’re getting ready to sell, knowing what’s under the surface helps you stay in control of the process. We help you understand what a buyer’s inspector is likely to find. This way you can address issues early or price accordingly. It’s about reducing surprises and increasing trust.

“Chris is as knowledgeable and professional as they come. During my inspection he did a thorough job both inside and outside and had me walk with him through the entire process. He explained nuances in the condition of the house that I would not have otherwise understood.”

“The inspection was thorough, meticulous, and everything was explained in detail during the inspection as well as in the report. The report is more like a plan for our home ownership. We feel so prepared.”
