Providing Whole Home Inspections & Consulting Services
in the Lower Hudson Valley area of NY & Fairfield County, CT
As Westchester’s county seat, White Plains has the most varied housing market in the area: downtown condos and co-ops, pre-war multifamily, and established single-family neighborhoods like Gedney and the Highlands. Each type needs a different inspection approach, a high-rise unit isn’t a colonial, and most of the stock is old enough that the systems and building envelope deserve real scrutiny. Chris Long has 45+ years inspecting every kind of property in White Plains, licensed NY & CT and ASHI-certified.
At Longs GCS LLC, we walk beside you every step of your home buying journey in White Plains, NY area, offering clear, honest home inspections that help you move forward with confidence.
We follow the highest Standards of Practice set by ASHI and comply fully with New York and Connecticut state regulations.
