Buying or selling in Yorktown isn’t the same as buying along the Sound. Out here you’ve got larger lots, older farmhouses and colonials, and a lot of homes running on private well water and septic systems instead of municipal hookups. Those are exactly the systems a fast, checklist inspection skips, and exactly the ones that cost you after closing. At Longs GCS LLC, owner Chris Long brings 45+ years of hands-on experience to every Yorktown inspection, licensed in NY & CT and certified by ASHI.
Before you fall in love with a property in Yorktown, make sure you know exactly what you're getting into. Our Buyer’s Inspection meets ASHI Standards of Practice and includes a thorough assessment of everything from the roof to the foundation. Let us inspect now so you won't regret it later.
Thinking about making an "as-is" offer? Before you commit, we’ll walk the home with you. We'll help you identify potential red flags that could impact your budget or timeline. It’s a small investment that can save you from a big mistake. We give you clarity before you sign.
This is our full deep-dive inspection. Ideal before closing. We carefully test the functionality and condition of doors, windows, plumbing, electrical, HVAC, and more. You’ll receive a detailed, visual report so you can move forward confidently, with no surprises after you move in.

“The kids just bought a home in Yorktown. They needed a home inspection and were recommended Chris. We met him in the driveway and he was all business; he handed us a book titled ‘How to Operate Your Home.’ Thorough and incredibly knowledgeable.”
