Testimonials

Michael and Granite did a wonderful job on my inspection. They were immediately responsive to my request to schedule an inspection, and performed the inspection with haste. Michael was thorough and very clear as he walked me through the house and pointed out problem areas. I can't recommend them highly enough, as I have posted in other reviews.

I was going to buy a house, but had Mike do a full pre-purchase inspection. Thank goodness I did! He caught misrepresentations in the listings and insisted we double check, then found that there was a reason to believe mold was present when none was visible. I had the mold test done, and he was right. They also had to fess up about the inaccurate parts of the listing. I decided to not purchase that home and found another, which he also inspected. On this one, he was clear what needed replacing, what was significant, and the radon test came up positive. He called me when I contacted him with questions, and gave me all the options for remediation, which is better than what I would have had to deal with if I had the mold issue. Would definitely recommend.

I was first introduced to Granite Inspection Group when I purchased my townhouse 8 years ago. Michael and Lisa made sure I got the earliest appointment I could get. He was so professional, honest and thorough and I felt he did an incredible job. Fast forward 7 years later. My husband and I were looking for a house and I knew I wanted to use Granite Inspection again. Lisa was incredibly helpful and accommodating when it came to my husband and mine schedules and did the very best she could to get us in schedule wise. We went through two houses that we ultimately backed out of because of his thorough inspections and eventually we found the house we are in now; of course inspected by Michael. I couldn't give a higher recommendation to the Granite Inspection Group. Michael and Lisa are a dynamic team and you can't find anyone more knowledgeable about homes, codes and radon than Michael Christophides. He explains everything to you in a way that is understandable and is incredibly personable. He is willing to share all he knows with you so that you make the best choice for you and your family. You won't regret hiring Granite Inspection Group; we certainly didn't and won't!!!

Michael answered all of my questions. The installation was successful and was completed in a professional manner. I am very satisfied with the radon system!

Granite Inspection was fantastic. They were able to schedule an inspection quickly, did not up-sell any services, and provided a thorough inspection. Throughout every step of the process our inspector, Mike, was very accommodating and took the time to explain every step.

Installed a radon fan into our passive mitigation system and fixed some piping. Explained everything in detail, was clearly a true subject matter expert not a cheap fake operating outside their expertise, super easy to deal with, priced reasonably, very happy with everything. Really went beyond the call, pointed out a number of structural issues from a prior DIY homeowner that needed fixing.

Let me first say that Lisa the receptionist, was a doll. She was able to accommodate my need for a home inspection on such short notice which was 2 Days. Any how, Micheal the inspector, arrived early and introduced himself to my agent prior to my arrival. After my arrival, Michael began to thoroughly inspect the home I was interested in purchasing. He took me from room to room, inside and outside of the home, and pointed out his findings and what was of concern to him. What I like most about Micheal is that he asked me my profession, (nurse) and broke things down in a way that was relatable to my field of work and understandable to me. Upon submission of his final report just 3 days later, Lisa followed up to inquire if I had any questions or concerns. Thankfully, I will be in my new home within weeks of the 2018 new year. As you can see, my experience with Granite Inspection Group was outstanding and I highly recommend their services !

Highly recommend. Michael installed a radon mitigation system in our house. Not only did Michael do a great job in installing the system but went above and beyond making sure we understood everything about the install. Their response to my initial inquiry was immediate. Lisa made sure we were well informed on the process of testing and installation. We won't hesitate to use their services again.

OUTSTANDING service provided. I had to arrange a pre-sale inspection and radon remediation from out of state. This team made the entire process seamless. The report delivered was well-written , well documented and very clear. It guided our preparations for sale and was a terrific investment. The handling of radon testing and remediation was professional, effective and very reasonable in cost. They were timely with everything, communicated with me flawlessly. I could not have asked for more. You can move forward with Granite Inspection with full confidence.

We were getting ready to sell my parents' house & found out there was a high level of radon gas. I contacted Granite Inspection Group & was very pleased that Michael could come out soon & remediate the problem exceptionally well. Lisa in the office was also a pleasure to work with; both Michael & Lisa got the needed work done. I would definitely use them again if I had to!

Courteous, professional, prompt and thorough. These guys did a wonderful job with our inspection, even taking the time to patiently explain and interpret any findings to us afterwards. Mike and Lisa are highly recommended for your next inspection.

Miachel and his staff were very knowledgeable in radon mitigation and took their time to explain every detail involved with radon and it's mitigation. I would definitely recommend Granite Inspection Group to anyone looking to decrease radon levels in their home. Thank you very much Michael!

Having Michael inspect "our" cabin in the Gunks was a valuable and enjoyable experience. In addition to making a thorough inspection of the property he offered us excellent advice about future maintenance opportunities. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Michael to anyone needing a home inspection.

Where were you when I bought my first house! Amazing, Highly recommend.

Very pleasant and knowledgeable. My inspector took the time to explain things and answered all my questions.

I have nothing but praise for Michael, and Lisa in the office. From the initial inspection to the mitigation of our faulty system, Michael was professional knowledgeable, and very honest. I would recommend his service to anyone who needed it.

Mike did an awesome job with the inspection. He was very thorough with explaining and documenting everything he found. He welcomes any questions that you may have, and also provides a variety of great tips to help you keep your new home in great shape. Finally, the report he sends is put together well, with plenty of pictures to show you exactly what he's talking about.

I am a realtor servicing Westchester, Putnam & Dutchess counties in N.Y., as well as Fairfield County in C.T. I enjoy referring my clients to Granite Inspection Group because of their professionalism, respect, timeliness and excellence in service. I have recommended several other inspection companies in the past, but none have met the huge standards or personal services provided by Granite. Their good manners and work have been a positive reflection on my judgment in the eyes of my clients.

I am very pleased with the customer service I received from the Granite Inspection Group. Throughout the entire process, they took the time to educate and support me and my family. They were knowledgeable and understanding. They were professional during every interaction. I highly recommend their service.

I recently had a radon mitigation system installed by Michael Christophides of Granite Inspection Group. It was a very nice experience dealing with him. He answered all my questions, taking the time to explain the details and make sure you knew what he was going to do and what to expect after the work was done. The work was done as per the estimate with no surprises. I will definitely recommend Granite Inspection Group to anyone who needs radon testing or a radon mitigation system.

Michael Was extremely thorough and answered all of our questions during and after the inspection. I would definitely strongly recommend Michael and Granite Inspection Group!

Outstanding Service!!!!

Services they provided: Home inspection, radon test, pest inspection and mandatory well test.

The appointments were set up very quickly and Lisa was able to set those appointments around my very busy schedule. Michael is very knowledgeable and he performed very thorough home inspections. He also took all the time needed to explain the deficiencies he found to me. The reports were also available promptly.

I am a municipal building inspector so I know true home professionals when I meet them. It doesn't get any better than Granite Inspection Group!

Our home inspection in Beacon, NY was performed by Michael Christophedes and we couldn't be happier with the service. Mike is straight-forward, yet friendly in his approach. He had a ton of knowledge and great advice that extended beyond just saying what needed to be fixed and what was fine in the house. He really went nitty-gritty on the details in how to do a bunch of do-it-yourself improvements that aren't necessarily covered in a standard inspection, but do wonders in terms of setting up the long-term value of your house. I would absolutely recommend his services to anyone in need of a home inspection or any of the other services Granite Inspection Group performs.

My husband and I hired Michael for radon mitigation in our new home. He was excellent. He was personable, professional, thorough, took his time to answer our questions, and provided a mitigation system that brought levels to within safety limits. We highly recommend him.

Very friendly and informative. Michael was thorough and helped walk us through each step of the inspection. As first time home buyers, it was nice to have all questions answered with a smile. Thank you!

Michael and his office were outstanding from the start. He was quick to respond to my request for a commercial inspection on a building I am considering buying. We were able to quickly set up a day and time that fit the schedules of everyone involved. The inspection itself went smoothly, a few things that myself and my partner needed to know. Michael was professional and thorough. He took his time to explain what he was doing and why. Also when he found an issue he explained what was wrong and what it should be. At no time did he try to push himself or anyone else for repairs. I honestly feel that he cares for his clients and is doing his best for them. He is not looking to please an agent to get referral work or to make friends. This only makes me more comfortable taking his findings as the truth. He has no other objective but to do his job well which is to protect potential buyers. I would use him again and recommend him to anyone looking to have an inspection done. I could not be happier with my experience I had with Michael and Granite Inspection Group.

Michael was VERY thorough and professional. He took a lot of time with us, discussing every aspect of the inspection, answering our questions, giving good information. He showed up on time and really knew his stuff! We highly recommend using Granite Inspection Group.

We used Granite Inspection when we purchased our current house and had them carry out an inspection for a property we recently had an offer accepted on. Michael provided a 108 page report. Thorough, professional and invaluable. Simply put, we would not have anyone else inspect a property.

Michael is very professional, and knows what he is talking about. He takes the time to explain things in layman's terms so you understand the situation. He is the brains, and the brawn in the organization. Not only did he inspect our system, and provide a repair estimate, he was the person who showed up to do the dirty work. He also worked with me to let me do some of the demo myself in order to save costs.

I will use Michael for any inspection or radon needs going forward.

Michael was great. I wish we'd hired him to inspect the house in the first place, but it's too late now. However, I'm very glad we hired him to do the radon remediation; he was very professional, and when he encountered complications, he dealt with them. He made sure to answer all my questions, and also pointed out an area that we should test that I hadn't thought about, based on the way the house was constructed.

Michael did a fantastic job installing a radon mitigation system in our house! We are new homeowners and were surprised to find out we had a radon problem. Michael was very professional, thorough, and got the job done very quickly so we were able to move in on time! Highly recommend

Granite IS as good as it gets. Lisa coordinates, sets up appointments and generally explains the whole process with infinite patience and grace. Michael does the inspections thoroughly, professionally and with a bit of a sense of humor. Both know their stuff and make this whole process as painless as possible. We should know, we had 3 inspections before we found the right house. Thank you Michael! Thank you Lisa!

Nothing but greatness is all I can say. We used Granite Inspection Group for a radon mitigation inspection on our existing system. Upon finding our system to be inadequate for the size of our home, Michael was honest, professional and thorough in updating our system. We are elated with the job done and will forever use and recommend Granite Inspection Group for all of our home needs. In these times honesty and professionalism aren't always synonymous but with Granite Inspection Group that is what you receive.

Michael Christophides is a professional in every aspect of the word. His thorough knowledge and investigative work ultimately saved my wife and I thousands of dollars by avoiding purchasing a money pit. I would strongly recommend the use of his services when considering purchasing a home. He takes the time that's necessary to evaluate everything and ( more importantly,) explain his finding to you.

Granite inspection was wonderful to work with. Michael installed a radon mitigation system in our 150 old house and he did a wonderful job. He was always clear, concise, and friendly. Would highly, highly recommend. Thank you so much!!

These people are amazing. Scheduling was quick and easy. Michael did a thorough investigation of the property for me as a buyer, advised me of anything and everything. Courteous and explained anything I didn't understand in plain English.
Detailed report was exactly what was needed. Perfect.
Will return if needed again, thank you!

My wife and I have owned a house for over 50 years, now we plan to purchase a different house with an “as is” clause in the purchase contract. At the advice of our realtors, we engaged the Granite Inspection Group to inspect the house. This was the best investment we could have ever made. Mike, the co-owner, spent hours going systematically through the house.. He performed a complete check of every room (checking every light, faucet, drain and appliance), basement (plumbing, waste water pipes, electrical wiring, walls, furnace) and attic (floors, wiring, inside of roof) and much more. A few days after the inspection, we received his 47 page report with evaluations of over 100 individual items such as windows, trees, shrubs, wiring, roof, chimney, furnace, foundation, etc., the condition of each rated as “A” to “F”. The report also included over 70 pictures, each with red arrows, pointing out items of interest or potential problems.

The biggest advantage of his inspection was the trust his piers (realtors, lawyers and bankers) place in his findings. A reputation he established over many years while working as an inspector. His thoroughness saved us thousands of dollars.

Wonderful experience all around! We had very high levels of radon in our recently purchased home, and after talking to several companies we went with Granite Inspection Group. Lisa was lovely on the phone, and Michael performed a thorough inspection where he explained the process, answered our questions and addressed our concerns, and he also did an excellent installation of the radon mitigation system itself. It was a stressful situation made unbelievably easy by the professionalism and attention that Granite Inspection Group gave us. Thanks again!!

Granite Inspection Group was very thorough and provided exceptional service. I would definitely use their service again and would recommend them to family and friends who are looking for a company that is professional and provide a package deal at a great price.

Mike and Lisa are great to work with. I have used Mike for every house I bought. I have also referred his services to friends who were equally as pleased. Mike does a thorough inspection, takes a lot of pictures and educates you on what needs to be done to make the house right when a deficiency is found. He is also available to discuss anything regarding his inspection or your house years after the inspection is completed. I also used him to put in a radon mitigation system which was installed fast, clean and reasonably priced. I would recommend this company to anyone who is looking for a home inspector or radon system installation.

Our inspector was outstanding, personable and looked out for our best interest! He was extremely thorough with the job and in answering our questions and concerns. Would highly recommend them again!

We couldn't have been happier with Michael's home inspection. He was a complete professional, spending hours with us as we walked around and through the property. He explained everything in detail and in terms that were easy to understand, and shared very useful information about how to address certain issues. He not only pointed out certain problems but explained exactly why things could be a problem. He is friendly, personable and easy to talk to. His written report was complete from A to Z, addressing every area of the inspection with photos and his assessments. Lisa, who handles the office, is extremely helpful and truly understands everything about the services Granite provides. Her enthusiasm and positive energy are contagious! We strongly recommend Granite Inspection for anyone looking to buy a house or in need of remediating a problem. Five Stars!

I was able to schedule the inspection quickly and was surprised at the thoroughness of the inspector. He gave me great tips on how to fix the flaws and deficiencies found and to prevent others that may become issues in the future if left unattended. The inspector was very professional and knowledgeable and answered all questions.

Michael recently installed a radon reduction system in my home following radon testing during the home inspection (also performed by Michael). Michael and Lisa are both patient, thorough, and professional. They work to make sure that all of your questions and concerns are addressed and you are satisfied. Thank you!

Let me start that I'm an engineer and take good construction and meeting or going beyond code seriously. Granite came highly recommended from a well know inspector in the area ("the only other person I trust to do your inspection is Michael Christophides"). Mike was also President of the local Hudson Valley ASHI Chapter, so you are getting high quality and experience when you can get him.
The Granite booking system is really easy and they always return your calls.
Mike was great. Mike is very passionate about his job and it shows when you work with him. We were a bit nervous going into the inspection (the house was a flip and it was our first potential home) and he made it fun (even with some bad news). He was very clear about the major defects. He also wasn't afraid to pick out good quality and poor quality work. He explained everything clearly and efficiently. He was always available to chat about any questions, next steps and even mitigation options.
It's the inspectors job to clearly articulate the good, satisfactory and bad things about all aspects of the house. He did that perfectly. We were excited to use him for mold inspection and sampling but decided on not going forward with the home. In many ways, Mike saved us from a major mistake. We learned a lot from Mike and we can't thank him enough.
Also, a big shout out to Lisa who was able to move things around in the schedule to make sure Mike was available. She was also helpful to speak to about purchasing homes.
You hire Granite, you get top notch service. Thank you Granite!

We were very pleased with the service we received by Michael at the Granit Inspection Group. Michael was very professional. He took the time to answer our questions and listen to our concerns. His group was very responsive to our emails, Michael arrived on time, and was very informative. We are very happy with the results and can now sleep well knowing that our home is safer for our family.

Mike did a great inspection for us - very thorough, very knowledgeable, very professional. Explained in detail - and in easily understood terms - his findings and maintained his objectivity. Would definitely recommend his services. Five stars from us!

This was a home inspection of a sale by owner performed by Michael C. He explained on site what he was noticing as possible defects and issues later detailed in an extensive report. The plus value for me was his recommendation of due diligence in regards to the existence or lack thereof of building and alterations permits . That alone saved me major headaches and informed my decision to purchase or not.
Furthermore, the interaction with his coordinator Lisa was highly efficient and courteous.

Had them do my radon mitigation in Spring of 2017. Very professional and prompt. Job was done in time frame promised. I was very happy with the work that was done. Everything was neat and clean. Michael went over exactly what he wanted to do and made sure it was ok with me before he started the work. After installation he then ran a test for couple of days to make sure radon level is within acceptable limits. I would definitely recommend them.

Absolute pleasure dealing with Mike and Granite Inspection. Exceptionally thorough work, very good advice for a first time home buyer. Additionally made himself available for any future questions or recommendations. Definitely would recommend 10/10!

The owner Michael Christophides is a terrific, very reliable guy who did a very neat mitigation system for us. Nice, clean work. Very respectful of the property. He is a hardworking, honest, extremely knowledgeable expert who is also funny and easy to work with. I appreciate that his office was able to schedule his work around our schedules. Excellent experience with Granite. Highly recommend!

Granite Inspection is a pleasure to do business with. Both Michael and Lisa are extremely knowledgeable and do the most thorough inspection possible. I've used their services twice and highly recommend them. You'll be glad you tapped into that wealth of knowledge and sound advice.

Great company. Responsive and on time. Got the job done right!

Michael installed a radon mitigation system for our home in Stone Ridge. He and his team excellent! I would recommend Granite Inspection Group to anyone seeking a radon mitigation system in the Hudson Valley.

I cannot say enough good things about Michael and Lisa. Lisa coordinated with all parties involved to get our inspection done as quickly as possible. She is a consummate professional and gave us advice above and beyond what we could have expected. Michael really knows his business and took his time to look at all aspects of the home we wanted and then spent an hour walking and talking us through all of the details. He is not an alarmist but pointed out all the things that we would have to tackle as homeowners. We used Granite Construction on a home that we ultimately did not purchase and used Michael again for the house we eventually bought. I recommend Granite for everyone in the process of buying a home. Love them!

If you have concerns about your health and the health of your family make sure you have a radon test in your home. If and when you decide to do that make sure you call Mike and Lisa at Granite Inspection Group. They are very professional, attentive, and appreciative for the opportunity to provide their services. Lisa in the office is quite pleasant and great at managing expectations. Mike on site takes the time to help you understand what is going on, why it is happening, and discusses possible solutions. After taking the time to understand my concerns we came up with the proper placement and system. The installation went in on time and within the estimate. After having the system up and running for a couple of weeks I was not happy with a little background noise I was hearing. Mike came out after my call and diagnosed a fix and took care of that as well. I could not have had a better experience.

Michael was exceptionally helpful as our home inspector for a new build. We were initially unsure if we needed a home inspector for a new build, but after working with Michael we were very glad we made that decision. Michael came out twice, with no extra charge, because our builder did not have the home ready the first time. He identified many key structural concerns that were not identified by the town inspectors. Michael was available for repeated discussions. I believe we have a better home today because of Granite Inspection Group.

I have hired Michael and Granite Inspection Group twice over the course of the last five years, and both times I was very happy overall with the service provided. Michael does a thorough inspection, and provides a detailed inspection report with all relevant notes, pictures, and a rating of each item evaluated during the inspection. The report often contains suggestions on how to remedy any issue that is brought up. Michael is tactful in how the information is provided to his clients, ensuring that discussions regarding inspection results are done in private and away from realtors or other parties involved in the process. It is clear that he always has the client's protection in mind. In addition, at the office, Lisa made scheduling and the logistics around the inspection easy and painless. Granite Inspection Group charges a fair rate, and you will not be disappointed in the results.

We learned the home we were to purchase had high levels of radon at the inspection and, after calling several different places, decided to with Michael at Granite Inspection Group. He did a thorough inspection, discussed our concerns and answered any questions we had, and did a wonderful job installing the mitigation system. Michael is a very professional and friendly person, it was a wonderful experience from start to finish. I would highly recommend Granite Inspection Group to anybody.

We recently hired without regret the services of Granite Inspection Group. Mike & his team were most thorough & professional. The written report / findings were as thorough as the walk through supported with verbal conversations allowing give & take, with layman explanations of any concerns & suggestive correction action. Should the need arise we will definitely do business again with Granite Inspection Group.

Michael and Lisa were great! They were always helpful, kind and very professional. We are really happy with the work they did.

Great experience with Michael. He is professional and offers great advice during the walk-through to make your home more safe and efficient.

Michael answered all of my questions. The installation was successful and was completed in a professional manner. I am very satisfied with the radon system!

When we purchased a house in Rhinebeck and knew that our Radon level was high, I searched out the Dutchess County approved Radon remediation companies. After looking at the websites I chose Granite Inspection Group based on the many accreditations, certifications, and experience of the company.
When Michael Christophides came to our house for a first visit he was very interested in listening to our specific needs. We had a two section basement which both had unacceptable Radon levels. Michael was very knowledgeable about Radon; its causes, and different methods of removal. He carefully listened to and answered all of our questions. He suggested a way to remove our excess Radon and worked with us to design a system that would fit into our basement with the least possible interference in our living space.
Michael returned and completed the work in one day and left the work areas clean. He then did follow up testing to make sure that the system was working effectively.
I highly recommend Granite Inspection Service for any Radon Remediation.

Granite is so helpful every time I use their services.

I have been through several home inspections for prior purchases and after each I found out a lot of details were missed. Fast forward to my latest experience with Michael @ Granite Inspection. All I can say is WOW, never have I had a such a thorough, well informed, detailed inspection. Michael spoke and explained to me as someone who genuinely cared and literally gave me a brain dump in person and in his report about the house, all the good, bad and ugly, he held nothing back. He really wanted to ensure that I was in a position to make a well-informed decision. I don't usually write lengthy reviews, but Michael has saved me from a very costly mistake. Truly appreciated his objectivity and professionalism.

I would highly recommend Michael when looking for someone to do a home inspection. He was thorough, punctual, friendly and very knowledgeable. Michael answered all of my questions and made sure I understood everything that he was explaining to me.

Michael was very knowledgeable, informative and especially friendly. He explained everything that would be done prior to our appointment and on the day of the work he went over everything again. When the work was done, you could only tell he was there because of our new radon mitigation system. Thanks to Michael and Lisa at Granite inspection group, our radon levels are now well inside the safe zone. I would highly recommend them.

Mike was personable and very thorough, answered all questions and concerns and gave some mini suggestions for easy fixes in home inspection that were labeled as "marginal". We will definitely be using Granite again in the future with a home we need inspected. His staff was able to provide me a quick response to emails and scheduling as well as questions regarding EPA guidelines for mold and radon testing. As prospective home buyers, we were satisfied with quality and service and would recommend his and use this service in the future again.

Michael was thorough and explained things in a way I could understand.

Incredibly accommodating, professional, responsive, flexible, thorough, and willing to answer any and every question from two novice homebuyers.

Michael made us feel safe and secure in understanding exactly what we were purchasing, both positive and negative, and turned what could have been a daunting day into an unbelievable learning experience.

Michael had done a radon test on several properties that were being sold by my office. He had dealt with several different agents that were completely satisfied with the work he had done. He is timely, very knowledgeable and thorough. He had also done work for me in my own home. He installed a radon mitigation system that provided peace of mind for me and my family. I have the utmost confidence in his quality of work and quality of materials he uses. As a real estate agent, I recommend him to my clients

Lisa and Michael are wonderful! Lisa was great at providing information about the service and what we needed to do to get started- she even stayed late to make sure we were able to touch base with each other. Michael arrived for the appointment- he was very knowledgeable and explained in full detail how the system would help us, how it would be set up, and was very interested in our input. We had such a great experience with this group and would highly recommend them! Have your home tested!

Being a first time home buyer I didn't know what to expect in a home inspection report. I was surprised when I received a 53 page report from Michael's inspection. It was detailed and thorough. He made it clear that he worked for me and the report was for my use and that I should disseminate the information in any way I saw fit and to whom I chose.

Michael Rainone

From my initial call the the Granite Inspection office (which was friendly and professional) to the follow-up phone call with Michael, I couldn't have asked for a better experience.

I highly recommend Granite Inspection Group and will use them again.

I’ve worked in this industry for over 20 years and it is with great confidence that I am able to refer Granite Inspection Group to my clients. With the level of professionalism and the thoroughness of the inspection, I know my clients are in good hands. Thank You!

I am a state certified code enforcer and Granite’s inspector showed me things that I didn’t pick up on myself. I am impressed!

I am a first time home buyer and as all of you know the process is overwhelming. Michael took his time explaining everything. He answered all my question and made the process easy. Gave me great ideas and his report was very thorough. If you are looking for a home inspector look no further you will be very happy you called them.

We used Granite inspection group for our radon remediation system.

They were courteous, friendly and easy to deal with.

They showed up on time and the work was clean and professional. After the installation of the radon remediation system the house was then re-tested for radon in the system work properly.

We would use them again.

Sincerely,

Lou Spagnola

Granite Inspection Group was excellent! Impeccable service! They were very quick, efficient, accommodating and professional! I would definitely recommend them and use them again in the future.

very good mike did a great job

Mike does a thorough home inspection; quick to schedule; forthcoming with information; verbal report followed up by written report within 48 hrs. Twice he inspected for me and didn’t hesitate for a second to call him again for peace of mind. Thanks for great, knowledgeable service with a smile.

We used Michael to test and then remediate a Radon issue we had in our basement. He was friendly, very knowledgeable and efficient. We went from an original test value of 8.5 down to 0.9 once he put in a remediation system. He quick, clean and efficient with his installation. He even gave us a discount because I helped him with the power to the system.

Michael was great. I am a first time home buyer and he made sure to thoroughly explain everything to me in plain language. The inspection report was thorough with accompanying photos. I would recommend Granite inspection group for your home inspection needs.

It's our first time to purchase a house. We're lucky that Michael from Granite Inspection did the inspection so that we found there's molding, radon issue in the basement and some other minor defects around the house. Michael is very professional, patient and friendly. He walked us through the house and explained everything we were not clear. The 40-page inspection report came out very quickly. The detailed report listed all the inspection items with photos marked with arrows to defects and explanations and suggestions to the problem.
We learned a lot from Michael. We're very happy working with Michael, Granite Inspection. Highly recommend Granite Inspection to anyone who wants to purchase a house in Hudson Valley!

They are the BEST!!! From the time I spoke with Lisa on the phone to the time Michael was done with the inspection of a future purchase. They saved me money and headaches big time. I would highly recommended them for any inspection. He does the job and more. We decided to walk away from the purchase because the sellers thought everything was fine but it wasn't. Thank you Lisa & Michael for a great job well done.

Call them and see for yourself!

Mike was easily accessible and very responsive. Upon contact he completed the home inspection and provided a property report within 5 days. He was easy to work with and reviewed all of his findings with us on site that day.

My husband and I have had the pleasure of using Mike several times in the past few years. From the initial phone call to Lisa for an appointment, all the way to the final report, Granite Inspection is top notch. Mike takes the extra steps to inform you on many ways to improve your home or business. I would, and have, highly recommend his expertise.

My husband and I were expecting our first child AND buying our first home at the same time. Michael was prompt, thorough and informative. He explained his findings in a way that was easy to understand and made the process enjoyable with his infectious personality. His wife, such a sweet person, was also very helpful withe the follow up – questions and scheduling. When our first offer on a home did not work out we called michael back for our second prospective home! We wouldn’t go to ANYONE else! Now my mother is purchasing a home in the area and there’s only one person I’m calling – Michael at Granite Inspection Group!!

Michael came over after a tornado sent a pine tree crashing through my roof. Michael came over and explained the testing process and what needed to be done to maximize the testing results. Once the roof was repaired. Michael suggested ways to minimize the possibility of water penetrating the building which I completed prior to testing. Michael completed testing and we the favorable report shortly after.

I highly recommend Granite Inspection Group for the thorough inspection, testing and education. Michael, thanks for all the advice and pearls of wisdom.

Absolutely the best! Highly recommend. This was my first time purchasing a home and Mike and Lisa took care of everything. I had to use them twice. The first time Mike told me what to expect and gave me expert advice. If it wasn't for them I would be in a really bad situation. Lisa's customer service is exceptional. Friendly, professional, precise and fair priced, what more can you ask for!

Granite Inspection group team member"Lisa" provided great customer service from the very beginning of scheduling our Inspection appointment. She was a pleasure to speak to, very informative and caring about our needs and schedule availability. She scheduled us with Michael Christophides "Inspector" who also provided great inspection services for the purchase of our first home. He was on time for our appointment, very patient and informative and took his time to explain all repair recommendation findings. Granite Inspection group made our inspection process a great experience!! We will definitely, recommend their services to our family and friends.

As everyone knows, the process of buying a new home is more taxing on mind, body, spirit, and wallet than virtually any other undertaking. It's people like Michael (and Lisa, who provides fabulous customer service on the phone end of the business!) who make it so much easier. We have used Michael twice now for two different purchases, and both times he was nothing short of eminently professional and thorough--in fact, so thorough that you may leave your inspection overwhelmed with information (in a good way). Everyone has heard horror stories of inspectors who are lazy, ignorant, or downright unscrupulous, but Michael is none of these things. I couldn't recommend him more for anyone who likes to feel confident in at least one part of the process!

Michael performed a thorough home inspection and provided a detailed report. Would highly recommend his services!

As a first time home buyer and being very unfamiliar with this process. Michael and his team made the home inspection process very educational. He went above and beyond providing us with information about our property. I'd recommend Granite Inspection Group without hesitation!

Did quite a bit of research prior to deciding on Granite. My research included speaking with several different real estate brokers and home owners who previously hired Granite to complete their inspections. Everybody said the same thing.......Mike is very thorough and completes a detailed inspection.
I can say I found Mike to be very professional. The man is extremely knowledgeable and took the time to make sure I understood his findings. He spent a great deal of time looking in all the nooks and crannies as well as obvious places.
I would recommend Granite without hesitation.

I used Granite Inspection Group to inspect my future condo and Michael did the inspection. He was very friendly, kind, good sense of humor, efficient and extremely informative. Michael took time to go over every detail with me and go above and beyond by providing me with education on things that I was not knowledgeable about. I would highly recommend Michael as your home inspector.

I can't say enough great things about Granite Inspection Group. We've used them several times and they are always go above and beyond to be meticulous and thorough. Mike is always wonderful about explaining things as they arise as well as answering any questions. This is true both on-site as well as after the inspection report is compiled. Lisa is also wonderful!

Granite Inspection is a pleasure to do business with. Both Michael and Lisa are extremely knowledgeable and do the most thorough inspection possible. I've used their services twice and highly recommend them. You'll be glad you tapped into that wealth of knowledge and sound advice.

Buying a home is already an intense process with lots of ups and downs. Working with Michael and Lisa at Granite Inspection Group was an absolute pleasure! Michael inspected the first home we were considering purchasing and after his thorough service, the report allowed us to make a very informed decision. Shortly thereafter, we called Michael and Lisa to perform another inspection at another prospective home. Michael is very personable, approachable, provides great detail and explanations regarding what he sees throughout the inspection. He explains in an easy-to-comprehend manner that won’t leave you googling definitions and is available for follow-up questions if needed. When the second home failed the 48-hour radon test, Michael didn’t hesitate to take time out of his day to explain to us what that meant and what would need to be done to remediate the problem. My husband and I have recommended Granite Inspection Group to friends who are looking to purchase a home and would use this company again in the future if we ever need it!

My overall experience with this was excellent. Michael was a true professional, very personable. He was respectful to all of my concerns, and he did everything he said he would do.

Very thorough, friendly and informative. You can never go wrong with the Great Baldidni!!

Home buying Inspection:
I would highly recommend Granite Inspection Group. Lisa is very easy to work with for scheduling appointments. The appointment was made quickly. Michael is very thorough and detailed. He inspects each home top to bottom. His reports are detailed and easy to follow. Also for the service he provides he is reasonably priced. He inspected two homes for me. Why two? The first home had many issues and Michael saved me alot of money with his inspection.
I will always recommend Granite Home Inspection group. If you need an inspection, you MUST call Granite

Michael and his team did a fantastic job! Purchasing my home from out of state was a challenge and a bit scary but the detailed inspection report put my concerns at ease! They identified some serious issues that I was able to get resolved before purchasing my home!

As a first time home buyer, working with Granite was a great experience. Lisa in the office is very professional and helpful! Michael was amazing on-site and spent lots of time answering our questions. In fact, our first inspection with him revealed major problems and because of that we knew that it wasn't the right home for us. When we found another house, I called Granite right away knowing the quality of their work. He is great with older homes (we have a 300 year old stone house) and his written reports are easily interpreted and clear.

My mom an I used Granite Inspection Group when purchasing our first home this year and I would highly recommend them. I appreciate the fact that Michael took the time to explain everything clearly and answered all our questions. He was very knowledgeable and the turn around time on the report was very quick but thorough. I will definitely use this company again.

Excellent inspection company.
Michael provides a professional, courteous service. He is knowledgeable and helpful. He provided us with valuable information and advice on home improvements, explained everything in simple terms, and answered all the questions.
The report was very thorough and well documented.
Both Lisa and Michael were a pleasure to deal with; personable, professional, and kind. Excellent service. Highly recommended.

Granite Inspection Group was excellent! Impeccable service! They installed a radon system in our house. They were very quick, efficient, accommodating and professional! I would definitely recommend them and use them again in the future.

I highly recommend this company. Very courteous and professional. Job was done in no time.

Mike goes above and beyond to make sure that he provides the best service for his clients. He is extremely thorough, knowledgeable, and explains his findings very clearly. I highly recommend Mike if you are looking for a home inspector.

I met Mike about 7 years ago when he inspected properties for a day care I had worked for. He inspected at least 3 or 4 buildings in various states of habitability. He was always on-time, honest and professional. After working with him for several months, I was confident that he would be the deciding factor in our decision to purchase. I always knew that when I bought my own house I would not hesitate to look up Granite Inspection and have Mike help us make the final choice. About a year ago, as I was ready to buy my first home, I found Mike's card and he came out on a rainy Saturday afternoon to fit our schedule. He looked at 2 houses and spent hours walking through the properties with us explaining every possible hidden and obvious defect. He was not only thorough, he was honest and patient and answered hundreds of my valid to ridiculous questions. Most importantly, he was genuine and an overall nice guy! Mike and his lovely wife/business partner Lisa were awesome and available to answer countless questions even after we received our comprehensive reports and ultimately bought our house! I would recommend (and already have) the Granite Inspection Group to anyone buying a house or business property without hesitation

I was refered to Granite Inspection Group when I needed a home inspection done. There were very professional and they explained the whole procedure of what would be done. All questions were answered. Suggestions were made on simple fixes.I would recommend his company to anyone.

Michael (and co) were absolutely great. I had two other contractors come out to the house to assess and provide an estimate, and Michael was, relative to the others, so incredibly thorough and considerate that I had no qualms about hiring him on for the job. The job was relatively straightforward and done very efficiently and Michael made himself available for any questions and answered clearly and without convoluted BS. He was not only helpful in remediating our radon, but helped me understand and address other household factors that would both help the remediation process and insure that the mechanism worked as well as it possibly could. All said and done, I was happy to have Granite Inspection Group do our radon remediation.

Michael was professional and explained everything about the inspection and his report in layman's terms. I appreciated his attention to detail, and his prompt informational report. It was a pleasure doing business with this company.

Granite Inspection Group did Radon mitigation for my home in November after I learned the levels were way above the normal range. From the initial meeting to the installation, Michael was incredibly professional and reliable. He was very thorough and patient, explaining every part of the process. Lisa was wonderful too, as she arranged the appointments and followed through on the lab results. We would highly recommend them to anyone needing Radon inspection/mitigation.

The inspector did a complete and thorough inspection. He was helpful in determining the course of action to take to bring things up to code.

Great from start to finish. The very best service for competitive cost, Lisa made scheduling easy, and Michael was a consummate professional. He explained the process after his initial inspection, and installation went to plan. Not only did he bring our radon levels well below the limit, he did it while keeping aesthetics both inside and outside the house in mind. He works quickly and is always pleasant.

After my house was built 19 years ago I had a home inspection service check for any potential radon concerns and found that my radon was higher than should be.

I was referred to Granite Radon Mitigation Services by a friend who highly recommended them for many reasons. I contacted Granite and spoke with their office manager who scheduled an appointment with their technician. Michael, the owner, had taken the opportunity to come out himself on the day and time scheduled. He was quite prompt and surveyed the situation where he had taken his own radon test using state of the art electronic equipment and explained what he was doing and went over the effects of radon in detail and what to expect with his radon mitigation system when installed which he guaranteed. He is truly a highly knowledgeable and very qualified technician with many years of installation experience.

When the results came back higher than what was suppose to be, he gave a fair proposal for his mitigation system and scheduled a time for installation. He was quite confident what to expect after the system was installed where the radon will be definitely mitigated and number much lower than what is acceptable.

When he installed the system I wanted it to be inconspicuous on the outside, which he was able to do as well as the near silent fan used.

After installed, he checked the radon again and after two days he came back to find the system was performing excellently with a radon number averaging “1” and way lower than the EPA would expect.

After the great experience with Granite and the results so very favorable in mitigating radon, I highly recommend them to anyone in need of testing and installation of a system.

Granite Inspection Group is outstanding ! Mike came when he told us he would for the quote and the installation. He followed up with the report and we couldn't be happier!

We recently hired without regret the services of Granite Inspection Group. Mike & his team were most thorough & professional. The written report / findings were as thorough as the walk through supported with verbal conversations allowing give & take, with layman explanations of any concerns & suggestive correction action. Should the need arise we will definitely do business again with Granite Inspection Group.

Michael was thorough and diligent when inspecting my house. I would easily recommend him for anyone in need of a home inspection.

Let me start with Lisa ,from the 1st time she picks up the phone, she makes you feel confident, and she will make sure that if you have any questions before you actually make an appointment she will give you the best answers . Lisa is excellent and very knowledgeable explaining the process, and more for me and my husband, first time home buyers.
Then we met Michael and let me tell you it was beyond our expectations. He explained to us every detail in such a way that was very easy for us to understand. He did and exceptional work, and we are very satisfied and also he gave us great tips .
Michael helps us to understand better all our concerns. He really knows his work, very pleasant person. And about the report very detailed.

THANK YOU LISA AND MICHAEL WE ARE VERY HAPPY COSTUMERS!!

Having discovered potentially higher than recommended levels of Radon in our home I sought out a local NYS certified Radon mitigation company. After researching several companies I decided to go with The Granite Inspection Group. Both Lisa and Michael are true professionals and take care to address customer needs. Additionally, during the installation process, Michael was very informative and precise in the system design and layout. Installation was completed within a day. I would highly recommend The Granite Inspection group for you Radon Inspection/Mitigation needs. They deliver the knowledge and integrity to ensure a “job well done” and peace of mind.

Extremely thorough and meticulous. Highly recommended for first time buyers. Provided forty page building inspection report. First class service.

We had Granite install a Radon Mitigation system in our home. Michael was personable, professional and very knowledgeable. It was a pleasure working with him and his wife. I would highly recommend him if you have a Radon issue.

Inspection was very thorough and the explanation of the results as well as the suggestions for improvement were easy to understand. I would highly recommend Granite inspection group!

The inspector was very polite, courteous and educated in his work.

I am a first time home buyer and as all of you know the process is overwhelming. Michael took his time explaining everything. He answered all my question and made the process easy. Gave me great ideas and his report was very thorough. If you are looking for a home inspector look no further you will be very happy you called them.

Michael did an amazing job explaining the entire process from start to finish on testing for radon, how it is tested, what the results mean and how to take care of it. After we had a remediation system installed I had an issue with it shutting off and he came to investigate. It was determined that the power outlet was bad. With a normal contractor they would tell me to get an electrician, not Michael! He showed up to my house and replaced the outlet and fixed it, explaining what the issues were. His dedication to ensuring his product works and customer service are amazing. I would recommend him to anyone looking for his services.

Great experience with Michael. He is professional and offers great advice during the inspection to make your house purchase "buyer aware" and offers suggestions for remediation's. I highly recommend Michael and Granite inspection group. This was the most comprehensive detailed inspection and inspection report we have ever had. The inspection report was received in a timely manner with all itemized details in easy to understand format.

Whats there to say .... 5 stars!

They were awesome!!! Very knowledgeable, professional, clean,good price & did the job in a timely fashion. I would highly recommend them!!!

Very professional and courteous. Took the time to explain in detail when I was confused. Gave a good presentation!

Very responsive and efficient. Perfect place if you're looking to mitigate radon.
Michael was very kind and nice, he explain what he was doing and he even gave recommendations for other issues in the house.

I’ve known Michael for 10 years-he was the inspector my realtor recommended when I was buying my house. He was thorough, knowledgeable and assisted me beyond what was expected. If it wasn’t for Michael insisting on having the radon tested on the ground floor rather than the first floor (which is what the homeowners wanted to do) I would not have known to have a mitigation system installed. Over the years I’ve been able to call Michael whenever I have a question or situation that requires a home expert opinion/advice. There is no other inspector I would use or recommend in the Hudson Valley!

I engaged the service of Granite Inspection for a house I was considering purchasing in Catskill. Michael & Lisa were very knowledgeable, professional, comfortable to communicate with & always accessible for questions & follow-ups. Being an architect myself, I'm very picky about such issues & expect a lot. They certainly provided all I expected. They are worth every penny. There inspection report was a thorough 55 page full analysis of the house from top to bottom. Their report was very helpful in my negotiations on my purchase. which saved me thousands. A good house inspection upon considering a purchase is very important. Granite Inspection has the experience.

Granite IS as good as it gets. Lisa coordinates, sets up appointments and generally explains the whole process with infinite patience and grace. Michael does the inspections thoroughly, professionally and with a bit of a sense of humor. Both know their stuff and make this whole process as painless as possible. We should know, we had 3 inspections before we found the right house. Thank you Michael. Thank you Lisa.

Michael and the Granite group did a wonderful professional job with our radon mitigation system. Michael scheduled an inspection to determine what was needed, showed up on time, gave a clear explanation of what was to be done and how it worked, and chose the optimal place for the system. Beyond that, he also made several simple and useful suggestions as to how to improve functions of some house systems and was a consummate professional throughout.

The price quoted was the price paid and competitive, the system was installed as scheduled, is working perfectly and unobtrusive.

I would recommend Michael and the whole Granite Inspection group to anyone who is considering having things of this nature done. It was a first class experience all around. Thanks Michael!

My wife and I were looking for someone to help us with a home inspection kind of short notice and Mike was able to help us out within a day of contacting his company. the day of the inspection he came and did a very thorough job. He was extremely helpful and knowledgeable. Highly recommend

Michael is Great! When we discovered a radon problem within our house I called Granite Inspection Group. Michael came over that week to talk a walk around the house and give me his plan for remediation. Michael spent the time to explain radon and what it is, how he would install his remediation system and how it would work and make my house and family safe. Michael is extremely knowledegable in the area of radon and can answer any question you throw at him. Michael came back himself to install the system and did a fantastic job. We were uneasy with the thought of radon in our house but after talking to Michael and having the system installed, we are more then happy. Mike made the whole process so easy and simple. I highly recommend Mike and his company.

We can't be any happier with the system Granite Inspection Group installed and the excellent service we received from Michael Christophides and Lisa. They were both a pleasure to work with, and I highly recommend them.

I hired the Granite Inspection Group for a house I was looking to purchase. They did an excellent job! Personable and very thorough. I plan on using them on all of my inspections in the future.

Michael Christophides of the Granite Inspection Group did a stellar job of estimating, explaining and installing a radon remediating system that works perfectly.

In addition, he is a lovely person to deal with, which means a lot when one is under pressure to get one's house in a 'sale-able' condition.

Michael and Lisa were very prompt and efficient in scheduling our appointments. Michael went above and beyond the radon remediation services he provided. I was in the process of purchasing a home that I rent, and as a home inspector, he pointed out some issues that I would not have been aware of. He was very thorough and efficient in his work, and gave me a lot of important and detailed information. He spent extra time counseling me on different aspects of the situation and possible remediations for things other than just the radon system he installed. I would use his services again and recommend him to others.

My experience with Granite Inspection was great. This is the second time I have used the company for a potential home inspection and I have been completely satisfied both times. Michael is very thorough, knowledgeable and informative. Once he completes the inspection he walks you through everything that he inspected and explains it to you in terms you can understand. He answers any questions you may have and it straightforward about any issues he may see. His inspection report is well put togethr and detailed. I would completely recommend, and I have recommended Michael and the Granite Inspection Group to anyone who needs it in the Hudson Valley Area!

Michael did a wonderful job when inspecting a house for us. He saved us from falling into a complete money pit. His inspection was thorough and he was able to answer any and all of our questions. Our house hunt continues, but we will definitely be using him in the future.

Michael Christophides is a top-notch home inspector who clearly loves his work and loves delivering reports that are highly specific, comprehensive and full of detailed, helpful recommendations.

Aside from his knowledgeable analysis, once he completed inspection, he then walked me through the entire house and explained every potential problem. He further offered informed theories about what might be causing defects and how to correct them. I was most impressed by this stage of the process because it was above and beyond and he remained on site, answering all of my questions until I was satisfied. Again, you get the sense that he loves his work and wants to deliver the best service possible.

With basement radon levels between 19 and 21, I contacted Michael. He installed the radon mitigation system in one day. The result is astonishingly successful: the average is now around 0.35, well below 1, and our house is now virtually free of this carcinogenic gas. Michael is thoroughly professional, knowledgeable, and a pleasure to work with. The results speak volumes.

Experience with Granite inspection group was very good. Lisa was efficient in scheduling the appointment, even calling the day of to see if I wanted to move the time up. Michael was thorough and generous with his time to answer my questions.

Michael is as thorough as it gets, enthusiastic while doing so, and breaks everything down when explaining what he's found. I couldn't recommend him more! He even gave us ideas to improve the house we had inspected. Unfortunately, we didn't end up buying that particular house, but will be calling on him again for the next one.

Mike at Granite Inspection Group was fantastic. He took took the task at hand (a pre-purchase inspection) very seriously and was a true professional. He arrived early, thoroughly did his inspection, and then spent a good deal of time walking around and pointing out to us each and every aspect that he looked over. A few days later we received a very detailed inspection report that helped to give us the information we needed to decide whether or not to move forward with our offer. Worth every penny, and I'd absolutely and wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone looking for a knowledgeable and trustworthy inspector. Thanks Mike!

Michael was great! Extremely thorough and informative. Answered all questions and gave detailed remedies for any problems with house. Made me feel much more comfortable purchasing a house.

Mike from Granite did an excellent job in installing the radon mitigation system. He was on time and completed the job quickly. He also provided me with a full explanation of radon in my house, the workings of the system he installed, and gave me complete answers to all my questions. I would highly recommend Granite.

Fantastic experience! Michael was very thourough, informative and personable. He took his time explaining every detail and went out of his way to ensure I was comfortable and educated with his findings. Although I did not purchase the home, I would certainly use his services again. Thanks again!

A very honest and wonderful inspector! As always, Granite Home Inspection is the best!

We hired Granite Inspection group to perform an inspection and radon test for a house that is 200 years old I was pleasantly surprised to see the care and attention to detail while performing the foundation inspection. Michael also took a lot of extra time to explain all aspects of the inspection so I would understand his perspective. This ensured I was able to make more informed decisions through my home buying process. This company offers the best value I could find and I highly recommend Michael and Granite inspection group. This was the most comprehensive detailed inspection and inspection report I have ever had. We received the inspection report in a timely manner with all itemized details in easy to understand format. This company exceeded our expectations and are the most professional inspection company I've ever had the pleasure of doing business with Thank you all so much for your prompt professional service.

Wayne Weidenbenner

Great family run business.. from lisa answering the phone and emails always got back to you right away and makes you feel confident that your working with the right people. To Mike very honest from the beginning and very thorough work.

Micheal was amazing and very informative! I appreciate his hard work especially by himself. Lisa was very helpful and so polite over the phone. Would definitely recommend for services.

We met Lisa at the Home Show in March. She was very informative about radon and the procedure to correct it. She was very willing to work with our schedule to set up the testing and installation of the unit. Mike is professional, extremely knowledgeable, prompt and courteous. His work is neat and clean and he takes time to explain everything. Our experience was very positive and we highly recommend Granite Inspection Group for your radon remediation.

Granite Inspection Service did a great job in the installation of my radon mitigation system. Michael and Lisa made the process very simple. I would recommend them to everyone.

Michael went above and beyond with his examination, explanation, and installing our Radon remediation. He was prompt, professional, and fun to talk to. He explained everything very clearly, was very responsive to our questions, and even gave us insight into our overall moisture in our house. His wife Lisa, who works in the office was also lovely. She was efficient, responsive, and extremely helpful.
We are very pleased with the overall work!

Michael was a very helpful and friendly inspector. He did what he said he would and offered to give advice as needed in the future. I can comfortably recommend him as a home inspector.

What can I say...prompt, courteous, professional and that was Lisa at the office. As for Michael. I could tell immediately that this guy loves his job. He was very informative as to what my option were. Professionalism in his testing, using the latest in equipment. When it came time to have a radon mitigation system installed Michael was the guy. The instillation was clean, neat, functional. It looks like the system was always there. I would not hesitate to recommend the Granite Inspection Group to anyone in need of their types of services.
A & V

We contacted Granite Inspection Group for a home inspection for a home purchase. With my wife and I being first time home buyers we really didnt know what to expect. I called and made an appointment and had some questions. He called me back promptly and was very informative on all the questions I had at no point in the conversation did he make me feel like I was bothering him or asking stupid questions. So we scheduled our home inspection. Michael showed up and was very professional yet down to earth which put me at ease. He did the inspection while my Wife and I looked around the property and home. When he was finished with his inspection he took us room to room and explained everything in detail. I again asked him a lot of questions and again at no point did he make me feel like I was asking stupid questions. He was very professional throughout the entire home inspection explaining things to us that we wouldn't even think to look at ourselves. After walking through the home and having all my questions answered we talked a bit more and our inspection was over. My wife and I driving away agreed we both really liked him and the way he handled himself and our questions and would recommend him highly. We had all the main test done including Radon. About 5 days later we received the report. Now the report I got was very detailed with pictures, arrows, explanations and recommendations on home repairs. From start to finish he was a professional who made this stressful part of the home buying purchase that much easier. The seller ended up pulling out of our deal. We found another home and called Michael again for another home inspection. He

Our experience was nothing short of terrific. Kudos to Mike and his staff for giving us the confidence we needed to tackle issues in our 1763 house. Do not hesitate to hire them!

We had to have a Radon Mitigation system installed in our house. Started by looking at the NY State's website for Certified Radon Mitigation Contractors. Narrowed the search down to those who are Certified Radon Testers at Dutchess County (currently there are 4). We chose the Granite Inspection Group because of their qualifications listed on their business website.
Contacting them and scheduling for a Radon test was very easy.
Michael and his wife Lisa are very friendly, pleasant, and more importantly very responsive and professional. After the test and the evaluation, we received a written estimate regarding the cost of the installation of the Radon Mitigation system.
The installation and subsequent evaluation (re-testing) of the Radon Mitigation system was flawless. Granite Inspection Group did an excellent job. As a retired engineer I appreciate their professionalism.

When we first learned that we might have radon in our home we were scared. We asked around and researched many different companies and finally decided to contact the Granite Inspection Group. From the beginning when we were just looking for information through the entire process they took the time to answer our questions. They were knowledgeable and understanding of our particular situation. They didn't try to "sell us" instead they were real down to earth people who genuinely wanted to educate and support us.
We would highly recommend this company to anyone who is interested in doing what it takes to keep their family safe.

I would highly recommend this company to anyone needing Radon mitigation. Mike and his wife are a pleasure to deal with, reasonable price wise and they do excellent work. Mike answered all my questions quelled my concerns and made sure I was happy with the outcome. Would defined recommend this company!!

Michael from Granite Inspection Group was incredibly helpful and knowledgeable. I am a first time home buyer and he made the inspection process painless and put everything in a way I could understand. I’d recommend him to anyone in need of an inspector.

I used granite inspection for my home inspection and the gentleman that was there doing the inspection was very knowledgeable and easy to work with. Gave a full break down of what was needed and what needed to be done. Very professional service from beginning to end .Will highly recommend to anyone

Mike inspected a commercial building for us in April, spending over 3 hours going over every inch of the property. He was not only extremely thorough, but took the time to explain various materials, problem solve and advise on solutions to issues that came up during the inspection. His knowledge of materials and construction/building science ensured a well rounded and thorough written report, and left us feeling prepared with realistic expectations of the scale of cost and work ahead. We will certainly use services again when we turn our attention to buying a residential property.

Thank you Mike!

Granite Inspection was used for my home inspection and was very thorough. Took the time to answer all my questions for a first time home buyer and made sure I really understood.

Michael was amazing from start to finish he was great I’m so happy we chose him and had him help us with inspecting our first home. He’s so knowledgeable, thorough, and overall great we will definitely be using him in the future again.

Michael is great! He is extremely thorough, and the report he wrote for us was meticulously detailed. He's very patient and answers all of our questions as we walk through the home. We've used his services twice, and have been very satisfied.

Michael did a fantastic job on my radon remediation. He and Lisa are very communicative, he always showed up on time, he has a great product and the pricing is fair. What made me feel even better was when an electrician came to my house and saw the Granite Inspection sign and said, "you work with Michael. He's the best there is." I highly recommend.

We had to have the same house inspected twice Michael was very thorough during both inspections. He was very informative and helpful about how to solve minor problems that the house had, He was prompt, courteous and professional. We highly recommend him

Nilson and Eileen

I have used Mike for a moisture/radon problem. I found his inspection and remedies to be of great help. I recommended Mike to both my children, when they went to buy homes. Again in both cases his reports and solutions were immensely helpful.
He's a straight shooter with a great personality. He has no agenda or conflicts of interest. He just inspects.....

This company is awesome. Very Very professional. Totally happy with their performance. I will definitely use them again in the future if the need arises.

I cannot say enough great things about my positive experience with this company. Michael is a true professional, he made me feel extremely comfortable throughout the entire home inspection process. He explained everything thoroughly and took the time to answer all of my questions, I never felt like I was bothering him or that he was trying to rush out of there. His knowledge of a home, inside and out, was absolutely superb, he knew everything about everything. It would be remiss of me not to also mention my positive experience with Lisa. She gave me a ton of great information up front before the inspection and was able to help me set up an adequate date and time. She was super responsive via email and phone. Lisa and Michael truly care about their clients. I HIGHLY recommend using Granite Inspection Group, they were an absolute pleasure to do business with.

Michael was very professional and thorough with our home inspection. I would highly recommend Granite Inspection Group to anyone needing a home inspection. His skills saved us from buying a home that would've cost us a fortune in repairs. He was able to inspect another house for us that is now our dream home! Thank you Michael and thank you Lisa, for scheduling our inspection so quickly!!

I can not say enough about this company, from there employees, their knowledge, to their details on their inspections! Mike made it his personal goal to insure that my husband and I understood everything on our report. He went over everything one by one, answered emails and also had a conference call with both of us, to ensure we knew all of our options and solutions. I will recommend them to everyone I know in the area!

Well-informed, thoughtful analysis of houses. Clear explanations for assessment delivered in good humor.

Let me start with Lisa ,from the 1st time she picks up the phone, she makes you feel confident, and she will make sure that if you have any questions before you actually make an appointment she will give you the best answers . Lisa is excellent and very knowledgeable explaining the process, and more for me and my husband, first time home buyers.
Then we met Michael and let me tell you it was beyond our expectations. He explained to us every detail in such a way that was very easy for us to understand. He did and exceptional work, and we are very satisfied and also he gave us great tips .
Michael helps us to understand better all our concerns.He really knows his work, very pleasant person. And about the report very detailed.
THANK YOU LISA AND MICHAEL WE ARE VERY HAPPY COSTUMERS.

Excellent company. All work was performed quickly and efficiently. Highly recommend Granite Inspection Group. Thank you

Mike was extremely helpful, thorough, and knowledgeable when conducting the inspection of the house my wife and I were looking to buy. His approach is extremely efficient and you can tell that he takes pride in his work. Mike made sure that we both understood everything he was showing us and he took the time to explain things in ways that made sense to us which we valued immensely. He also gave a lot of excellent suggestions for future things we could look into for the house which my wife and I both appreciated tremendously.

Granite Inspection really came through for us! Due to some careless things our builder did, there were several obstacles and challenges to installing a radon mitigation system in our home. After two others had shown up and failed to help us, I was losing hope. Then I called Granite Inspection, and I wish I had called them first! Michael is knowledgeable, professional, and friendly. He got the job done, no problem. I highly recommend Granite Inspection.

The inspector obviously loves his job!

Home inspection with electronic radon detection and septic testing.
Both Lisa and Michael were very pleasant to work with taking time to answer any questions I had. Michael was early for the inspection and took the time to show me each issue he encountered. The home inspection report was very detailed and well organized and was instrumental in bringing some of the bigger inspection issues to the seller's attention. The main reasons I chose Granite over other home inspectors in the area (most who are cheaper) was reputation based on user reviews and the fact that Michael is highly qualified, experienced, and is a certified radon testing and mitigation professional and uses an electronic radon detector.

Mike is very thorough, knowledgeable, and personable. Highly recommend!

I used Granite to mitigate radon in my home. Excellent communication and they worked quickly to get the job done. Lisa was a pleasure to deal with.

Granite Inspection has provided excellent services from start to finish. They are kind and generous with their time, flexible with scheduling, and incredibly knowledgeable. Michael and Lisa went above and beyond to provide us with details of the mitigation process and walk us through every step of what to expect. They accommodated our unexpected schedule changes, answered questions thoroughly, and shared additional educational information regarding radon and environmental health. We are so grateful for their kindness and expertise. Mike was also neat and tidy with the installation and clean up. Our radon levels are now well below acceptable standards. Elevated radon levels can cause lung cancer, but that is something we can control through mitigation. The unit was installed successfully and gives us cleaner air quality as well as peace of mind.

Michael is very professional he did a radon mitigation for me and I would highly recommend him to friends and family .

I would highly recommend this company!!! Mike is very thorough, friendly and he took his time. Also he answered every question and his report helped us not to a big mistake!!! I like him so much I put him in my phone contacts!!!

Michael did a great job installing a system and reducing radon levels in my house. He was straightforward and knowledgable and also had some useful tips about general home improvement. I would recommend his services to those in need of radon remediation.

I felt very comfortable with the inspector and the inspection. He also took his time in educating me about my concerns.

Granite Inspection Group installed a radon system in our home. They were great to deal with. Michael was prompt, professional and left the job site spotless when he was finished.

Michael was great...he is extremely knowledgeable and thorough. He arrived on time and went through the house, explaining what he was seeing and any concerns he had about the house as he went along. His report was done in a very timely manner and we highly recommend him!

Granite Inspection Group met and exceeded my expectations. Michael was always prompt when coming to the house and when he installed the radon mitigation system, he did it in a manner like he was working on his own house. He was clean, courteous and did not leave a mess. After completing his work he gave a very detailed explanation of how the system works and what I should be on the look out for. Lastly, the system works and the issue of radon in my basement has been brought to the appropriate level.

Lisa who works in the office is amazing. She communicates in a timely fashion with you both through email and over the phone. I would highly recommend Granite Inspection Group to anyone

Granite Inspection Group is extremely thorough, professional, responsive and overall helpful. The report written by Mike was instrumental in leveraging crucial aspects of our offer. I will be using Granite for any future needs and referring them to anyone in the market for a home inspection.

Mike and Lisa are THE power team in home inspections. Mikes thorough inspection and exceptional reporting is second to none. He even gave me suggestions on how to make my new home even better. Lisa was also a pleasure to deal with in the office. Great communication and they went above and beyond the call of duty even weeks after the inspection. I can't say enough good things about Granite Inspection Group.

Michael is great! He is extremely thorough, and the report he wrote for us was meticulously detailed. He's very patient and answers all of our questions as we walk through the home. We've used his services twice, and have been very satisfied.
Helpful?

Great experience. Michael looked around the house. Explained what he saw. He let
us know what might be a problem and what not to worry about. He was professional and offered good advice about how to proceed with any problems. Report came in a timely fashion. We were very pleased.

We had a fantastic experience with Michael and would recommend his services to anyone. He was extremely professional and knowledgeable about radon and effective mitigation. He also gave us great advice about cost effective ways to reduce humidity (this compares to other people we considered who attempted to sell us expensive dehumidifiers). Highly recommend!

Michael was on time and very thorough with the inspection. After he was done, Michael has spent a great deal of time going through details and explaining everything. It was really a great experience, very professional service, and I would highly recommend Michael to anyone who needs a home inspection done

This by far is the best inspection I have ever experienced. Excellent!

I would highly recommend Granite Inspection Group. Michael is fantastic, very thorough, and very knowledgeable on all aspects of the home as well as the landscaping around the home. He was also top notch in regard to safety issues and concerns. He's the best!!!!

We used Granite Inspection Group for installation of a Radon mitigation system. Michael is very professional and knowledgeable. Lisa who helps with scheduling is super friendly and pleasant to talked with! The installed system is working to reduce Radon to a healthy level. I would highly recommend Granite Inspection Group!

This was my first time buying a house, thus my first inspection and I'm glad I chose granite. Lisa was great and got me scheduled for an evening inspection the day after I called. It was the only time I was available. Mike was thorough with his inspection and walked me through the house explaining the positives and negatives in terms I could understand. Highly recommend using Granite and I will definitely use them again if I plan on buying/selling

Michael and Lisa made the experience relatively pain free.
Scheduling the inspection was easy and the inspection was very thorough, efficient and the price was reasonable.
The final report was very detailed, illustrating a few concerns that the homeowners were willing to address to close the deal.
If I ever plan on moving again, I wouldn’t hesitate to use Granite Inspection Group for the home inspection!

My attorney highly recommended using your services. I truly felt as if you were looking out for my best interest. I will never buy a house again with out your inspection services.

Michael and Lisa were consummate professionals and handled my inspections (and subsequent report) smoothly and quickly. They even returned to conduct an inspection that I needed (but neglected to order) with a cheerful and "no hassle" attitude. They created a thorough, easy to read report chock full of good information. They know what they are doing and it shows.

My experience with Granite was superb. I can't say enough superlatives to convey how Michael's inspection helped me. First, I had to book quickly because this unit came up for sale quickly. Lisa went above and beyond to quickly fit me in in between the Christmas and New Year's holiday and they were already tightly booked. What business does that? No one. Her communication is excellent. Michael was nothing short of professional and thorough. I knew nothing. I walked away not only knowing some of the problems with this unit (before I got the report) but Michael taught me so much about what to look for, what he was looking for, potential problems.... etc. His report is comprehensive and very clear to understand. He made clear any potential issues.... I'd label him lifesaving. I'm still in the process of looking and when I find the next possible place, in a nanosecond, I'm calling Granite Inspection. Thank you Granite!!!

They were an awesome company...very knowledgeable & professional. They did a great job clean, efficient, punctual & a fair price. I would highly recommend them !!!

Granite Inspection group are truly a family of success. Michael and his overwhelming customer service staff are an example of quality, and his attention to detail was awesome. Michael spent extended time in making sure my concerns were answered, further inspections will be handled and mitigation by him. Lisa responded also to all concerns and resolved every issue; she is truly a team player.

Michael provided radon analysis and remediation with follow up testing. The radon remediation was professional, scientifically well grounded, and successful. We have been very happy with the service provided and enthusiastically recommend Granite Inspection Group.

Granite Inspection helped cement my confidence in my home purchase. They were easy to work with, professional, and met all my needs. I would definitely recommend their services.

Granite Inspection Group is great! I used them when I bought my condo and more recently when purchasing my first house. Michael is extremely thorough and knowledgeable! My house also had a high radon reading and Michael installed the mitigation system. After installation the reading was still high. I had water leaking in the basement so Michael made some suggestions on how to dry out the basement before spending more money on the radon mitigation system. In the end, I had to have a second port installed, but Michael tried to help me out as best as he could to avoid having to spend the money on a second port. It is working great now. Also, Lisa was also so pleasant, helpful and efficient in answering emails promptly and answering any questions I may have had about upcoming appointments with Michael. I absolutely recommend them!!

Michael and Lisa provided amazing customer service. My initial radon results were at a dangerous level. After Michael provided me all the information and installed a mitigation system a week later, my result are well below the standard.

The best part of my home buying experience was with Mike from Granite Inspection. He was very thorough and patient during the entire process. He sincerely cared about my family's well being in our new home and gave us peace of mind when purchasing it. He was very professional, but personable at the same time. I would highly recommend this company to any home buyer in the area.

Need a home inspection Michael is your man! He is professional, kind, thorough and to the point. He was very informative and answered all my questions. His report was very detailed and easy to understand. It was a delight working with him. Highly recommende

My experience with the GIG was really great. Easy to contact, responsive, informative, my questions were answered. And Michael is both personable and highly professional and super-competent. He designed a system to fit the structure of my house. He was very collaborative, took my concerns into consideration. The proof is in the really dramatic drop in the Radon levels in my house, a drop to the .5 level in less a little over 24 hours. I can now inhabit all the areas of my house without worrying about a danger to my health. I highly recommend the GIG. If they're busy, they're well worth the wait. Matt Fried

We used Mike 10 years ago and thought of no one else to call when we moved to a new house! Very professional and offers great suggestions on how to make things more efficient in the future.

The inspector was very informative, helpful and kind. I would most definitely choose GIG for future inspections. Overall 10 out of 10!

Michael and Granite did a wonderful job on my inspection. They were immediately responsive to my request to schedule an inspection, and performed the inspection with haste. Michael was thorough and very clear as he walked me through the house and pointed out problem areas.

I can't recommend them highly enough.

Wow! We learned so much from Michael and he really help put our minds at ease. Michael's knowledge and professionalism are beyond our expectations. He addressed many factors unbeknownst to us and was extremely patient with educating us about radon levels and mitigations processes. We felt very comfortable asking him questions (and we asked a lot) and we are so confident with Michael, that we would use Granite Inspection Group for all our future inspections and also recommend him to friends.

Michael has inspected several properties including my personal dwelling and investment properties. He has wide ranging and deep knowledge of structural, building materials and mechanical issues related to home inspection. He has up to date information on newer and more efficient systems as well as drainage and landscaping suggestions to keep property in the best possible condition over time. He is quick and thorough, and was always early to my appointments to familiarize himself with the property. His report is incredibly detailed, not just the checklist I've seen with other home inspectors, and includes photos to specify areas of concern. I was successful in negotiating better deals every time with his reports to back me up. I recommend him most highly for home inspection and would use him again if I consider another property purchase.

There is only one Home Inspector to call and that's Granite Inspection Group! Michael and Lisa are the absolute best! We have called upon their services several times and they always exceeded our expectations.

I highly recommend this company great service great price you won’t regret

Granite inspection group provided a fair, detailed, highly actionable report of findings, and risk areas. I highly recommend their team, easy to work with and communication was great.

I had a great experience with Granite Inspection Group! Inspector (Mike) was on time & personable. I am a first time home buyer, and did not know what to expect. He got started immediately, and once he was done, gave me a thorough tour of the property, pointing out the good, the bad and the ugly, and explained why they were so.

He provided some recommendations for things that should be addressed sooner, as well as items that could wait. 10/10 would use again.

Granite Inspection Group and the whole team we’re excellent to deal with. They gave detailed explanations, answered all our questions, and gave great suggestions. The end result is this: our house is nearly free of Radom, and as an added bonus, the dampness in our basement was eradicated in a couple days!!! The system is extremely quiet, and the workmanship is neat as a pin. I don’t have other experiences with Radon companies to compare against, but I can’t see how you could do any better than these guys!

This is the third time I used Granite Inspection Group. I could not be happier with them. They’re very knowledgeable and always go above and beyond.

I highly recommend them. I would give 10 stars if I could.

Excellent & friendly service, highly recommended!

Mike was great from start to finish. Thoroughly explained the process and got the job done promptly. 100% pleased with the quality of work and would refer to my friends and family.

Stopped by his booth at the Dutchess home show. Spent time talking to us instead of "selling" us. We took advantage of Home show discounted Radon test and scheduled a test.
He explained how things worked, left his equipment, and 2 days later picked it up. Very professional.
Fortunately for us (not for him), we had a low reading, so nothing needed to be done. The bottom line is he was honest and didn't try to sell us something we didn't need. I respect that.

Michael installed a radon mitigation system for us. He is professional, courteous, knowledgeable, and helpful. He even gave us a few other home improvement recommendations that will help us in the long run. We are happy with our new system and it working well.

I recently hired Michael to help me with radon level testing and remediation services. He was very punctual, responsive, and knowledgeable. I appreciate his approach. I would absolutely recommend him for others to hire him if you need his service. Thank you! Bini

Buying a house is stressful enough without having to worry about all the possible things that could go wrong and that you are unaware of in the process. Especially, when this house is your first house, you are young and not experienced as you would like to be. Getting the right home inspector really gave me peace of mind. Mike from Granite is tremendous and performed a full house inspection for me. To say he does a thorough job is an understatement. For me, it is all about the details, and the comprehensive inspection I rec'd I am grateful for as it helps determine many things one would not think about. Plus he has an award winning personality and welcomes any questions you have. To be able to rely on someone so experienced, who is honest and would answer your questions every step of the way was refreshing to see. I am very pleased and his quality is hard to come by now a days. He def has my approval and I would recommend him to anyone.
