Accurate Inspections and Michael have a reputation of a very thorough inspector, which sometimes…read morecauses controversy, so I hope I can clarify the situation a little. Michael provides a super thorough inspection and pays attention even to the smallest details. He points out loose stones in the stairs, narrow parking spots that claim to fit more cars than it is realistically possible, stair handles placed uncomfortably, among other things. He also points out important things that are done not up to code and can cause serious issues down the line. It is a responsibility of a buyer to evaluate the findings and apply them, whether in negotiations with the seller, or just for your own reference later to understand what requires fixing and how urgent it is. And knowing that in advance, I think I received a superior service, because thanks to Michael, not only I received a concession from a buyer to fix an improperly installed, though working, garage door, but also avoided troubles with insurance company later by requesting asbestos removal and obtaining corresponding certificate. Michael's commission may be a bit higher than the market, but it's well worth it.

He also explained to me what the functionality of every appliances, and gave me tips how to keep things in good conditions. The attention to detail of Faisal is amazing. He would inspect everything and provide feedback like cracks, rusty pipes, loose concrete, bee hive found, and other. At the end of the inspection he took his drone out for roof inspection. The report ended up to be 40 pages report with details and pictures. Very thorough. I'd suggest Faisal for your home inspection and you will not be disappointed and you'd be satisfied with five star service : )

Hi Folks, I am writing this review to apprise you of the…read more"Blessing" that Larry Smyj from Aurora Home Inspections was to me and my little family. I am a single mom and I am in the process of purchasing my very first home for my and my family. I asked several folks at Mass if they could recommend a highly "competent" and extremely honest home inspector that would guide me and direct me since I am totally clueless. Several of the men from Mass stated that Larry Smyj from Aurora Home Inspection was my "go to guy" for a highly detailed and professional inspection report. This is the 3rd time that I have utilized Larry Smyj and his professional services. Back in the Fall of 2017 I put a bid of $160K on a wonderful two story home in a historic town here in Jersey. The home was 185 years old. It is on the National Registrar of Historic Homes. No wonder why it was so low the home was falling apart at the beams. The home was originally constructed using the lumber from the local area. However, the lumber was never treated. The lumber, from basement to attic, was riddled with Powderpost Beetles. Powderpost Beetles are a group of seventy species of wood boring beetles classified in the insect subfamily Lyctinae. Wikipedia Scientific name: Lyctinae Higher classification: Bostrichidae Rank: Subfamily (Did you know: Powderpost beetles are small, brown insects usually less than 1/4-inch in length that attack seasoned hard-woods. psu.edu) The few dollars that it cost for a termite inspection could NOT possibly compare to the $160K PLUS that is would have cost me to purchase and then replace the beams in the basement, walls, and attic. Larry went to touch the beam and it crumbled and turned to sand right in his hands. Needless to the OUTSTANDING and DETAILED Inspection Report brought me freedom. I graciously backed out of the contract for said home. No questions asked! The second time I used Larry Smyj from Aurora Home Inspections was in January 2018. This home was much newer and built around 1959 / 1960. The sellers were asking $225K. This home is in the same town as the first town. It had been neglected by its owners who had filed for bankruptcy. This home was in dire need of extensive repairs. It had all the original windows and doors, a second layer of shingles, boiler - furnace, reeked of heavy smoke from both owners. The hot water heater and most of the appliances were all well past their useful life. The finished basement had been built without permits and inspections. The owners made a second and private apartment for the themselves and moved their adult son upstairs. The illegally put in an electrical box and wired the home without proper supervision. The threw a gas stove over in the corner with no ventilation, the covered the basement jacks utilizing fake columns.They called the columns "decor". Guess what? Termites were found all on the outside of the home. But they could not fool a trained inspector like the one and ONLY Larry Smyj of Aurora Home Inspection.Yep! I backed out of this home too. Yep! I received my $5K deposit back as well. I just worked with Larry Smyj again on Friday June 29, 2018 for a 3rd time. Three times a charm! Right? Right! This last (hopefully) inspection was oh so worth it! I found a good home! This home on the outskirts of the other homes. Since we love the area we wanted to stay close to our Catholic Church and school activities. Once again because of Larry's sharp eye and expertise he deemed the furnace shot and in dire need of a replacement since it was purchased in 1980, the electrical box is loaded with corrosion, the roof leaked into the attic, and a list of other items that require immediate attention. My attorney just submitted a Letter of Repair Request and a copy of Larry's 48 page detailed and professional Inspection Report to the sellers attorney today. Guess what?? No termites! This house is a keeper! Thank you Larry Smyj from Aurora Home inspection for you professionalism and expertise! Your patience is a Blessing too because you have to tolerate folks like me! God Bless!
