Why Inspections Are Needed

VirtualTourA home is the largest purchase most people will make in their lifetime. We at Granite Inspection Group believe that you should Inspect… Before You Invest, and we want you to be informed and confident when you make that decision. We want you to feel prepared for your home’s aging process, and through a home-wellness inspection, be aware of areas of deficiency and the history of the home’s maintenance. We want to help you to be proactive in maintaining your home and / or preparing it for sale. When considering whether you need a home inspection, ask yourself these important questions.

  • Are Home Inspections really necessary?
  • What can you learn during the process?
  • How can an inspection help you financially?
  • Why wait for minor repairs to become major issues costing large amounts of money to repair?
  • Why wait for minor items to become safety hazards or health threats?
  • Is your electrical system safe?
  • Are you prepared to take a proactive approach to home maintenance?
  • Is Your Heating and Cooling Systems Operational?
  • What condition is your home in now?
  • How long has it been since you considered the state of your home?
  • When was the last time you inspected your roof?
  • When is the last time you looked underneath your home?
  • When was the last time you inspected your attic?
  • How will proactively selling your home benefit you?
  • Wouldn’t it be wise to have a 1st year anniversary inspection before the one year warranty on a new house runs out?

 

Are Home Inspections really necessary?
Yes! They will make you more informed, more confident and more prepared for the investment of your dreams.

 

What can you learn during the process?
You will learn a lot about your home – from the foot print of the way  was built to the evolution of building material and technology use through out the home.

 

How can an inspection help you financially?
From the day of a building’s completion, early detection can eliminate costly repairs in the future. A full inspection and a check of all utilities and appliances should be done.  If any defects are identified or aging material and equipment is present, these could be budgetary items for consideration.

 

Why wait for minor repairs to become major issues costing large amounts of money to repair?
Learn about upcoming expenses so you can prepare for them or avoid them altogether.

 

Why wait for minor items to become safety hazards or health threats?
Protect your family, yourself and your investment.

 

Is your electrical system safe?
Inspections will check for faulty wiring and potential hazards to safeguard your family and your home.

 

Are you prepared to take a proactive approach to home maintenance?
Keep in mind that your home will most likely be the biggest purchase you make in your lifetime. Do you want to treat your investment to a solid future?

 

Is Your Heating and Cooling Systems Operational?
An inspection will check to see if the system is operational.

 

What condition is your home in now?
Wind, rain and harsh sun all play a part in your home’s aging process. Look over your home and consider if it is as safe and strong as the day you moved in.

 

How long has it been since you considered the state of your home?
Often, the state of your home is only considered when making the original purchase… however, much can happen in 1, 5, 10, 15 or 30 years. An inspection will teach you how to help your home age gracefully and successfully.

 

When was the last time you inspected your roof?
Leaves, rain, snow and relentless sun can buckle and weaken your roof. Regular inspections can help you keep your roof safe and strong.

 

When is the last time you looked underneath your home?
Your home’s strength begins underneath your home — are you confident that this space is providing strength and safety at its fullest potential?

 

When was the last time you inspected your attic?
Much more than old clothes can collect dust in your attic. Wood-destroying insects or organisms can make your attic their home. Drafts from your attic can affect your heating and energy bill. Be confident that your attic is not depleting the value of your home.

 

How will proactively selling your home benefit you?
A pre-sell inspection prepares you for potential issues, giving you the opportunity to handle them before they affect your sale or sale price.

 

Wouldn’t it be wise to have a 1st year anniversary inspection before the one year warranty on a new house runs out?
Take advantage of the benefit of your warranty, and make sure that your home is still as safe and sound as the day you moved into it.

Testimonials

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.

Paula Blomquist   

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.

Julie Gonzalez   

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.

David McPartland   

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.

Marlyne Bennett   

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!!

Kristin Luks   

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.

Ashley F   

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.

GTM   

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.

Garry Hagberg   

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

Michael Roman   

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.
