Your satisfaction is our mission, your referrals are our ambition. We have no ties to real estate agents, thus our services are highly focused solely on providing you with the correct information about the physical state of your potential home. We are not affiliated with any real estate company. You can trust our report to be accurate and completely revealing of any potential hazards and defects so you can make an informed decision. Owner of Accurate Inspections, Inc. since 1993 Certified Master Inspector Instructor Michael Del Greco has personally inspected over 10,000 homes for satisfied clients. Our FULL-TIME office staff is happy to assist you (not a disinterested call center or home inspector on a cell phone). Our reports clearly show you what is wrong, explain why it is wrong and what is likely to happen if no corrective actions are taken. Our home inspection reports list in detail what possible problems and damages have been noticed in the home, provide pictures to accompany the damages as well as pictures representing why they could not inspect parts of the property you are interested in purchasing. Michael will personally perform all home inspections for my clients and personally prepare each home inspection report. After being a construction project manager for 7 years and selling real estate for a very short time I realized my skill set would be a great value to home buyers as a home inspector. Since 1993 I have represented my clients best interests in providing them with thorough and complete home inspection reports.

Services we offer
I taught the NJ Home Inspector Licensing classes and look forward to teaching you about your new home. As the inspector and the owner of the company and have performed over 10,000 home inspectors since 1993. I work for you, my client not for the real estate agents. Teaching you about your home and answering your questions honestly and candidly are my only priory.
Services we don't offer
Substandard inspections. Making light of problems in order to allow the transaction to speed through. Not knowing how to answer questions. Making answers up to "move things along". Part time inspectors,. Rushing clients through the inspections. Your getting voice mail during business hours (our calls are answered by full time professionals 83 hours a week)).
I’m glad I found Accurate Inspections and it is great to see all the reviews and feedback he gets on his work. It made it easy to choose him as the inspector of the home we put an offer on. He was quite professional, early and patient with all our questions. His process and way of explaining things is top notch. He doesn’t care if he is taking up the time of the realtors or the Sellers while they are out of the home. He is there for you and we appreciated that a lot! We plan to use him again, because he found defects that the Sellers were not aware of and potentially big issues down the line. If he didn’t, we would have been stuck in a money pit. Glad we walked away from that property/deal. Money well spent.

From start to finish Michael and his team at Accurate Inspections were courteous, prompt, and efficient. Communication with him and his team were top notch. I was impressed by their overall professionalism. On to the home inspection: Michael was hands down the best home inspector I have dealt with. He walked us through every inch of the home, all major structural components, explaining age and condition of each. His experience and understanding of homes is impressive and the number of small things I failed to notice in my walk through, that he documented was mind-blowing -- his attention to detail and his long list of things to check was amazing. He walks and talks you through everything about the home so that you, as a buyer, can understand what you are buying. He really is on your side, protecting you so that you know the questions you have to ask of the sellers and what further inspections are needed. Because trust me, not all realtors are on your side , a lot of the time they want you to overlook things to get the sale 'done.' I highly recommend Michael and his team!

It's easy to understand why Mike's services come at a premium. He is extremely thorough and helped us to identify not only what was in need of immediate remediation, but also those parts of the house that should be improved. As first-time homebuyers, especially coming from NYC, Mike helped us to understand all of the major considerations when buying a home in NJ. I'll be recommending Mike's services to anyone in NJ that is looking to buy a home.

Mike is a professional. He’s on time (early, in fact), and his work is extremely thorough. He examines the property as if he were buying it himself. He wants you to understand his findings and makes sure to explain things in a way a layman understands. This was the second time we’ve used Accurate Inspections and we’ll definitely use them again.

We hired Michael 2x during our recent home buying process - 1x for a house we ultimately did not purchase, and once again for the home we purchased. On both occasions Michael did a tremendous job and provided us with invaluable information about the condition of the homes, and guidance on how to care for and maintain the home. Michael is very professional, arriving early and staying late to explain everything, patiently answer questions, and ensure you are comfortable before moving on. He's also extremely thorough in his inspection; in our case even donning a crawl-suit and entering a very difficult crawlspace to complete his work. Both times his inspections lasted 3-4 hours. Michael is a bit more expensive than other quotes we received, but ultimately we believe his thoroughness and professionalism were worth the cost, considering the possible risk when making such a large purchase.

It went great. Well, Michael, found a lot of problems, so perhaps not so great for the current owners who have been asked to fix a lot of items. Michael went through the home with a fine tooth comb and spent almost 4.5 hours on the property. He devoted time to explain every finding and ensure that we did not have any follow up questions. Accurate Inspections is not the least expensive solution out there, but they are absolutely the best we would highly recommend their service to our friends and will certainly use them again in the future.
Description of Work: We needed a house inspection on a large, 7 bedroom, 6 bathroom 100 year old home that we were under contract to purchase. The current owners represented the house to have no problems and be ready to move in. After reading a bunch of reviews, we selected Accurate Inspections for their reputation of being remarkably thorough, detail oriented and patient with explanations of what was detected.

The whole process was flawless, from scheduling to delivery of the inspection report. The thoroughness of the inspection helped us better understand the condition of our home (which was great), and the potential issues we would need to address with the sellers prior to closing, as well as in the future on our own. His comprehensive report helped us prove the need for some critical repairs as well, which ultimately led to a reduced selling price that not only covered the cost of the inspection, but several of the repairs as well. If I ever buy another home, I wouldn't use any other inspection service but this!

First, let me say that Accurate Inspections, Inc. is very, very clear and concise in terms of setting expectation. If you take the time to read the contract, you know exactly what you're getting and what you're not getting. They carry that philosophy through in their clear and concise communication leading up to the inspection. You will receive several emails advising you of exactly what is needed for a successful inspection. Mike performed our inspection on Monday, June 5. He started on time and was extremely thorough. He engaged us ion participating in the inspection, for example, he'd turn the thermostat up to 90, then ask me to confirm that it was turned all the way up. Once I confirmed it, he'd say, "now, do me a favor and turn it all the way down". He continually asked, "do you hear what I'm hearing" or "do you see this" and them he would take the time to explain the sound, or explain the implications of what he was pointing out. I can't tell you how many times I heard, "what that tells me is......", or "what that means is........" The documentation was massive! I mean, you walk away with a three ring binder that's full! And it's not over yet! That's followed up by a final written report with pictures in less than 24 hours after the inspection! In our case, it was money well spent! We wish the findings were a little more favorable, but the bottom line is that Mike let us know where the warts were, and the significance was. Now we get to negotiate with the sellers! I would most definitely recommend Accurate Inspections, Inc., and if we don't end up closing on this deal, we'll use Accurate again when we find another house!

Excellent! Other inspectors will just point out problematic areas of your home and will tell you it needs to be fixed or replaced... but you will NEVER find another inspector that explains how and why it is a problem as well as how to fix them properly! Mike will point out something and make sure you understand why it is or can be a potential hazard. He is amazingly thorough and will take the time to answer your questions and explain it to you in a simple easy way. He was on time and was not rushing to finish the job. He took his time and made sure he saw every nook and cranny of the house. He was definitely not hesitant to get down on his knees if he had to. I have had family and friends try to save money and hire the cheapest inspector... Seriously, you get what you pay for. I cannot be any more satisfied with the service and the professionalism that Mike gave us.

Michael did an amazing job with the inspection. He is very knowledgable and he really takes the time to work through the entire home in full detail. I have never been through the home buying process before, so I did not know what to expect, and I also have limited knowledge about the upkeep of a home. Michael took the time to explain everything, to answer my questions, and make sure that I felt comfortable with everything before we left. In addition to being on time and having extensive knowledge, Michael was available for all of my follow up questions by phone thereafter, (and I had a lot of questions). I also had my inspection report the same day, (minus the radon report which takes a few days of course) in full detail with pictures and all. This was extremely important since I was under contract and on a strict time limit. This helped me make the important decisions that I needed going forward. The office was also very helpful in scheduling the appointment, working with my realtor to coordinate everything. Everyone was professional on the phone, and they have a wonderful email/text/phone confirmation system. This is extremely important when you have a lot of different professional services to work with. I would highly recommend Michael to anyone looking for a GOOD, reliable inspector. I will certainly use him again for any future home purchases.

Michael did a thorough inspection job, specifically pointing out a major problem on the property and the various expenses associated with fixing it. Ultimately we did not purchase the property. It is important to remember that inspectors recommended by the realtors have a conflict of interest. Michael made it clear from the beginning that he was working for us, the buyers, and would be straightforward and honest. Good communicator, very organized.

Michael was very professional and thorough in his inspection - he even noticed some termite activity that the exterminator missed and called him back to evaluate. I felt he provided an honest inspection, gaining our trust and didn't push any vendors/contractors/providers on us to make the repairs.

Excellent. I was very impressed with Mike's knowledge and diligence. His team was responsive and informative prior to the home inspection. His inspection was very thorough. He did an excellent job explaining possible issues with the home. He provided a detailed inspection report the same day. He also provided potential referrals to other entities whose services may be required (i.e. A structural engineer to evaluate the structural integrity of the roof). I was very pleased and would strongly recommend Mike's services.

You cannot go wrong with Michael! He shows up at the property early and gets the job done right. He'll spend all the time that you need to answer your questions and walks you through the entire inspection process. And I do mean "entire". This man is thorough! Plus, he sent a digital copy of the report back the next day. Prompt, efficient, courteous, knowledgeable. You couldn't ask for anything more!

We knew the home we were about to purchase needed some fixing, so we needed someone detailed and knowledgeable to be sure we found it all and understood the scope of some of the issues. Michael and Accurate Inspections definitely fit that. The home had roof issues and some inoperable windows and a door. He not only explained the true depth of those issues, but found additional major items with the decks and foundation, poor workmanship, and techniques some use to cover up rot and other issues. He assessed items like retaining walls that were built with mistakes that would limit it's expected life. Electrical and other small items that ranged from mildly concerning to severe safety issues. His assessments were always based on facts and evidence, and his opinion of the repercussions gave ranges of severity and likelihood. We were prepared to accept cosmetic flaws and issues not related health and safety. He gave a good opinion on if each issue found was that or not. He even explained what to watch for and be concerned about with the land features on the property. It was a very comprehensive inspection that gave us a wealth of knowledge of the home and land we wanted. With Accurate's report, and after speaking with contractors, the costs well exceeded what we budgeted for repairs after purchase. Michael saved us from a tough financial situation. Because of his advice and detailed explanations, we were able to apply what he taught us when we continued our search, namely how to look for quality repairs over the quick fixes. Which has helped us greatly in making our short-list of homes to consider. I would recommend him and will call on him again the next time we need a home inspection.

I am happy to hear my report was consistent with the your contractors opinions. Most of my home buying clients find honest contractors who provide them with accurate repair costs. I am sorry to hear the cost of repairs exceeded your budget however buying a home beyond your budget leads to unhappiness. I hope to see you again soon at another home inspection.
