Providing Whole Home Inspections & Consulting Services
in the Lower Hudson Valley area of NY & Fairfield County, CT
Rye sits right on Long Island Sound, and that location shapes everything about buying here. Many homes are in or near FEMA flood zones, the coastline saw real damage during storms like Sandy, and salt air and high water tables put extra stress on foundations and mechanical systems. A Rye inspection has to account for water, from the Sound, from the sky, and from the ground up. Chris Long brings 45+ years of experience to every Rye home, licensed in NY & CT and ASHI-certified.
