Buyer's Inspection in White Plains, NY

The full walk White Plains buyers book: roof, structure, electrical, plumbing, HVAC, attic, and the unit systems or the single-family envelope the listing photos skipped. Chris explains findings in the house. The photo report typically follows within 24 hours.

We follow the highest Standards of Practice set by ASHI and comply fully with New York and Connecticut state regulations.

We inspect:

Pre-Offer Walkthrough Inspection in White Plains, NY

Downtown condos and Gedney houses can both move in days. This shorter visit happens before you write and targets deal-changers: structure, water, and systems near the end of their life.

Pre-Purchase Inspections in White Plains, NY

Once the offer is accepted, this is the exam that answers the contingency. Chris documents accessible systems and can fold radon, mold, and water sampling into the same visit so a second vendor does not hold attorney review.

New Construction Inspections in White Plains, NY

A certificate of occupancy is not a substitute for an inspection. On newer White Plains builds and conversions, Chris checks flashing, grading, mechanical installation, and finish quality before you close or before a builder warranty expires.

From gas, water, and electric utilities to final touch-ups and finishes, our New Construction Inspection in White Plains ensures no detail gets missed. You’ll receive a full report so you can step into your new home with confidence and peace of mind.

Pre-Listing Inspections in White Plains, NY

Sellers in White Plains use this to repair or disclose on their schedule. Chris inspects the way a buyer's inspector will, so surprises do not show up under a deadline.

Yearly Maintenance Inspections in White Plains, NY

Building systems and freeze-thaw work on a White Plains property every year. An annual visit catches small failures while they are still flashing and grading problems, not emergencies.

Add-On Testing We Bundle With the Visit

Ask when you book so the right kits go on the truck for this White Plains visit.

Radon

Radon testing by an NRSB measurement technician. For ground-contact units and single-family homes, testing is the only way to know. Zone 3 is a county average.

Mold

Licensed NYS mold assessment with lab analysis and a written moisture-source note. Used on homes and light commercial, not only houses with a visible stain.

Well and water

Water testing for bacteria, metals, and loan panels. Most White Plains is municipal. Water testing is still available as a same-visit add-on.

Termite / WDI

Wood-destroying insect inspection is a common lender request on older housing. Same-visit add-on. Confirm it when you schedule.

Gas line

Gas-line testing can be added when the house has gas or propane service. Ask at booking. There is no separate gas-line page.

White Plains Home Inspection FAQs

Straight answers for White Plains, NY buyers and sellers.

Schedule Your Inspection

?How much does a home inspection cost in White Plains?

Chris Long inspects in person. He is licensed in NY and CT and an ASHI member (17598CG), not ASHI certified. The fee depends on the house. Size, age, whether anyone is living there, and extra tests like radon, mold, or water all change the time on site. The office is in Mohegan Lake. Travel is routine, and there is no trip fee. Call (914) 260-8571 with the listing address and we will quote that job. You can also book online.

?What does a White Plains home inspection cover?

White Plains work includes houses, two-families, and downtown condos. A condo inspection is the unit plus building issues that affect your space. That is a different visit than a single-family house. We inspect the roof, structure, electrical, plumbing, HVAC, attic, and exterior, and photograph what we find. Findings get explained in the house, then written into the report. Call (914) 260-8571 if the listing has extras like a barn or an addition so we leave enough time on the calendar.

?Should I add a radon test in White Plains?

The EPA map for this county is an average, not your basement. We still recommend testing ground-contact homes in White Plains and can place the test in the same visit. Most buyers add it when they book so it runs during the same visit. Mold sampling and well-water labs can go the same day if you want them. Say which tests you need when you book online.

?How soon is the White Plains report ready?

Typically within 24 hours, often the same day. The report includes photos, and we follow up by phone so you are not left decoding it alone. Radon, water, or mold lab work comes when the lab finishes, which is later than the main report. If your attorney has a hard date, tell us when you schedule.

?Should I be at the White Plains inspection?

Yes if you can. We walk you through the panel, the heating system, and any moisture where it actually shows up. If work keeps you from staying the whole visit, come for the last 30 minutes. Note who will be there when you book online.

?Do you inspect condos in White Plains?

Yes. We inspect the unit and note building issues that affect your space. A storefront or small office can be quoted from the address. Call (914) 260-8571.

“Chris is very experienced, knowledgeable and very excellent at what he does. If something not right he will find it. He comes to the inspection like “He’s going to fight a war” I like that because he has his clients best interest. He’s meticulous, nothing passes him. He’s very trustworthy. I would not hesitate to refer him to family/ friends or coworkers.”
