About us

Residential and light commercial inspection company. Inspections are thorough, most lasting 3 hours or more. Included in inspections are roof, exterior siding and foundation, interior, heating & cooling, electrical service, plumbing, attic and basement. Over 500+ items are inspected during the inspection. My clients are provided with an extremely thorough and independent home inspection followed by a detailed web based Inspection Report complete with photographs and important links. My inspection reports can be easily sent by email to interested parties such as Realtors, real estate attorneys, mortgage brokers, contractors or family members for review. Just like homes, not all inspectors are alike. Before hiring an inspector, talk to him/her, interview them, ask questions. How long have you been inspecting homes? How long will the inspection take? What kind of inspection report will I receive and when? These are just some of the questions that should be asked before hiring an inspector. Part of a home inspector’s job is to manage the expectations of their clients. This is especially true for first time home buyers or when my clients have never dealt with a home inspector before. Explaining the limitations of a home inspection to my clients will help them develop realistic expectations concerning what to expect from a home inspection report, and what lies beyond the scope of the inspection. Creating realistic expectations in my client’s mind will help prevent misunderstandings and promote smooth real estate transactions. My inspection area covers the entire Capital Region from Saratoga to Hudson and Amsterdam to the Massachusetts boarder. I am a NYS licensed and InterNACHI certified home inspector. I currently hold the office of Vice-President of the Capital Region Chapter of InterNACHI. For a thorough, independent and honest assessment of the property, please give me a call.

It was a very good experience working with David
Description of Work: Working with David of HouseAboutHomes was a pleasure. He was professional, very thorough and very patient with answering all my questions. His report was received very quickly and was lengthy and detailed. In addition to good explanations of any problem areas, it contained photos of those areas, recommendations and many helpful links to other informational sources. I believe I will be using this report as a reference guide for quite a while.

His price is very reasonable, and he was able to find a few major issues in the house I wanted to buy. The seller is working on fixing one, and we're working on negotiating the other. He was very thorough, and I really appreciated that. The detail in the report was outstanding. I could download a PDF with photographs, and there were 84 different items he mentioned that I needed to be aware of. He was even there early, and had already inspected the roof of the buildings and the outside as well. He also stayed late to get all the inspections done. Everything about the process was professional, and I would highly recommend him to anyone.
Description of Work: He inspected the house I'm waiting to close on.

His inspection was ok but he would not work with me and my realtor. The back of the house we are buying needs a new foundation. He refused to label that as a major structural repair. Now my wife and I may have to pay for the repairs ourselves. Usually, if any major structural repair is needed, the inspector will include this in his report and the cost of the repair would not fall on us but the seller would be responsible. Also our attorney said that his inspection report was unprofessional. I would not recommend this inspector to anyone.

David did an excellent job in performing a home inspection for me. His report was excellent and he pays attention to the smallest detail including if any of the construction is out of code. That is a good thing.

HouseAbout Home Inspections came recommended to me by my real estate agent. And I have to admit, she nailed it. David of HouseAbout Home Inspections was very professional. Since I was very new to the house buying and home inspection process, David spent the time to walk me through the process. He was able to work around my schedule and also interact very well with my real estate agent. The home inspection report was a thing of beauty! Lots of photographs, accessible online and very (very) detailed in its explanations and recommendations. If I ever need another home inspection in 12020 area, HouseAbout Home Inspections will be my first stop!
Description of Work: Complete pre-purchase home inspection including radon testing and termite inspection.

They were exceptional! They were the best company I've ever worked with. David is very professional and his communication is exceptional. He takes his job really seriously, explains everything thoroughly, and is very personable, too. It was a wonderful experience working with him! My real estate agent was so impressed with the quality of Dave's inspection that now he refers his clients to Dave.
