Home Inspections for the New York Metropolitan Area

Buying a home is an emotional purchase and a huge investment. Therefore, it should involve taking a careful look at what you’re getting for your money. It simply doesn’t make sense to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars for a new or existing home without an expert evaluation.

Criterium Tauscher Cronacher, P.E. P.C., located in Long Island, New York, provides quality home inspections to the New York Metropolitan area. Our Licensed Professional Engineers and Architects will enable you to make better decisions by giving their expert opinion during an inspection. Being aware of potential problems and necessary repairs before you invest in your new home will bring you peace of mind.

The Report

After the house inspection is completed, you will receive a written structural opinion. Because we are a Professional Engineering firm, we are able to give you this opinion. Home Inspection firms, in general, cannot give a written structural opinion, despite the qualifications of the inspector. Our detailed written report will also include the following:

  • Detail of systems and findings
  • Summary of major systems
  • Summary of maintenance items
  • Summary of deficiencies
  • General repair suggestions

After the report is issued, our engineers are available to all our New York area clients, as often as is needed, to clarify any questions that may arise pertaining to the property both before and after the purchase. A personal sit down or conference call is available upon request.

Additional Services

In addition to our standard inspection services, we provide a number of other services for homeowner including structural inspections, roof inspections, exhaustive inspections, environmental services and forensic expert services.
