Sven is simply the greatest home inspector that you can possibly hire. As first time home buyers,…read morewe had a decent idea of the home we wanted to purchase. Most home buyers spend maybe 30 minutes to an hour maybe 1.5 hours at a property. Sven invested four hours of his time at the property and found over 148 issues with a property that we thought was close to turnkey. He also offered a discount with our next inspection. It is hard to overstate how professional he is and how much he cares about his craft. You would be incredible lucky to work with Sven and his team. They are honest, thorough and will teach you so much about home inspection even if you've been through the process several times. It's important to know that there's a range in price for home inspectors, but you are indeed buying a home. Sven's prices are extraordinarily fair for what he offers. If it wasn't for his inspection effort on the home, we may have made a poor choice for our first home. RUN to work with Sven if you are in the home-buying process!

Sven and Galina did an incredible job on our home inspection! Not only did they take 4+ hours out…read moreof their day to walk through and document every nook and cranny, leaving no stone unturned, but they really explained what they were looking for. They answered all the questions that we had and were super personable. It's not often these days that you find people who are passionate about their work and friendly. That kind of passion along with expertise is truly infectious - those four hours felt like they flew by. Would recommend their services without a single doubt in my mind! Thank you again

Kevin was referred by a mold remediator in the area as NYS law requires a third party assessment…read moreprior to a remediation. Kevin was on time, professional, and responsive. Was able to make a same week appointment, and he charged less than what I expected. Sent a detailed report that worked for both me and the remediator, and explained what needed to be done to me in laymans terms since I'm new to this. Would recommend to anyone in the area who needs a mold assessor or home inspection, and will use him in the future if I purchase another house in this area.

When we found the perfect house for us and needed to have it inspected, we chose Kevin Michaels at…read moreHudson Valley Property Inspections. The reviews and his certifications speak for themselves, and Kevin has a buy-back guarantee where if he missed anything, he'll buy your home back up to 90 days after closing. We were confident he must be pretty thorough to back that up - and he was! The inspection was also reasonably priced, which is much appreciated on a budget. Kevin was professional, precise and friendly the entire time. He checked out everything, and explained as he went along, pointing out things as we progressed through the home. He encouraged questions, which was nice since we were first-time home buyers! He spotted a repaired part of the ceiling that may have been from slight water damage, and we asked him if we should add the mold inspection. He closely inspected the spot and said there was no need to, he wasn't worried about it. He could have easily made an extra few hundred bucks, and we would have paid for the peace of mind if he advised it, but he honestly believed we wouldn't need to add that - now that's integrity! If we ever need another home inspection, Kevin Michaels will be the only inspector we call. We will always recommend him to anyone who needs a home inspection for any reason! Use Hudson Valley Property Inspections...you won't regret it!

Pete had a quick response time and communicated professionally and intelligently. He is knowledgeable in his field and is obviously very passionate about his work. I was impressed by his friendly disposition and laser focus. I hired Pete to inspect a 120+ year old farmhouse, which I ultimately purchased. He was exceedingly thorough-- as he was on the premises for several hours. I also opted to have additional water and gas testing. The final 350 page report with photos was prepared and emailed to me promptly. His work was complete with in-depth descriptions, observations, and recommendations. Pete was readily available to answer all of my questions and even followed up with me multiple times after inspection day! Pete is not only an exceptional home inspector but also very personable, honest and genuine! His price is fair and well deserved. Thank you!!

Pete spent hours onsite documenting everything about the home we were interested in purchasing (from soups to nuts AND BOLTS). our final report was a well organized easy to read 300+ pages. Eagle View did such a great job the seller used them for a home they were purchasing. Pete's report really helped us avoid a huge mistake of purchasing a home with basement drainage problems. We found another house, and after Pete's inspection,went through with the purchase. We are unbelievably happy. Thank you Pete and Eagle View.

If you're in need of a home inspection, look no further! Scott was extremely knowledgeable,…read morethorough, and went above and beyond. Not only did he conduct a detailed inspection, but he also took the time to explain how various systems in our home work, along with tips on how to use and maintain them. He provided valuable insights into potential improvements, clearly outlining what he thought was urgent versus what could be addressed as a future project. The report he provided was comprehensive, with detailed notes on the systems he reviewed. It's a resource we'll continue to reference as we maintain our home. The value of his service is outstanding--very reasonable for the level of detail and expertise he provides. To top it all off, Scott is incredibly friendly and made the entire process enjoyable. We couldn't recommend him more highly!

Scott is extremely thorough. We were referred to him by friends and we are really happy they did…read more In inspecting our new home he showed us all points of concern and gave us advice on fixes. He also gave us direction on how the house systems, gas and electric work. No area went ignored. The report received was clear and gave us exactly what we needed for further negotiation on the sale and how to repair. During the inspection Scott found extensive mold. Being a mold inspector he was immediately able to write up the damage and test, saving us another trip from another inspector. We have just taken possession of the house and had the mold treated, Scott went back and gave us the all clear. We were comfortable with him going in without us there. Highly recommend and totally trust. Thanks Scott

Ron is the real deal. This is not a paid review or do I have any affiliation with Pillar to Post…read more Ron came before the inspection time and was already checking the house.

While Ron was professional and came quickly, he was very limited in what he would do or say. For example, when asked if the oil tanks were rusty, he replied that he could not see them, so couldn't say. Our realtor, bent over and looked and was able to see they were not rusty. We paid an extra fee for termites. He saw "evidence that they had been there" but wouldn't say if they were active. We had to pay another inspector to come out and tell us it was inactive, and had been painted over years before.

Inspector did not see asbestos in the house and did not inform me that asbestos could be a problem…read more Multiple people have told me that he should have said something. One item was the furnace pipe/chimney flute that was clearly shown during the inspection without anything around it or covering it. The company said they are not required to assess for asbestos and they can't help me. This was after they didn't believe me that the inspector missed asbestos and asked for pictures. I do not recommend this company. After receiving an inspection report you get emails to give a review and I felt pushed to give a positive review at first.

I hired Collier in Nov. of 22 to do a home inspection on a home that was purchased as an investment…read moreproperty for VETERANS... This home project was/is a family style veteran home. When the report was submitted to me be via email (thank God I kept it!!!) Nothing major was reported... So, I closed on this dreamy house and within an hour of closing a neighbor came to me to ask "how can you move into a home w/out a SEPTIC TANK???" Being from NYC, I had no idea what she was speaking about.. She told me the sellers of 14 Linden Lane in Hyde Park had a septic co. over months before I came into the picture and they were made aware of NO SEPTIC SYSTEM just and old rotted out/crumbling cesspool that was covered up.. So, what should have been a joyous day for me was now ruined... I called a septic co. over and they confirmed that there was no septic and there was proof of prior investigation re: this septic location due to an "indicator" being left behind by the other septic co. months prior. COLLIER, NOR MY REALTOR EVER SUGGESTED OR MENTIONED TO GET A SEPARATE SEPTIC INSPECTION!!! $15,000 (yes, fifteen thousand dollars ) later, I have to invest in new septic system... But that's not all!!! By bonus here (total sarcasm and disgust) is that the plumbing in the house was not up to code ! That, too was never shared with me... I had two independent plumbers come to the home and they shared the same diagnosis... PLUMBING WILL NOT PASS CODE! $15,000 (yup, fifteen thousand dollars ) later I had to replumb the entire home... When I complained to Steve, he apologized and assured me that his workers ALWAYS RECOMMEND A SEPARATE SEPTIC INSPECTION!!! I GUESS THAT MEMO WAS NOT SENT TO ME, BECAUSE THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I'M HEARING OF IT ALMOST FOUR WEEKS AFTER CLOSING... I had two marines lined up to live in the home within the first two wks. of february... They are now living in a shelter!! i have a huge hole in my yard... I feel so tricked! Disheartening is an understatement.... My contractor cannot even use the facilities until this septic tank scenario is cleared up... Now, I have the health dept. and DEP involved.... I CANNOT MAKE THIS UP!!! Cautionary tale:::: GO ELSEWHERE.... DON'T USE THIS SERVICE...

The notes and comments he made revealed his knowledge of many regards of home maintenance as well as verbally mentioning future home improvement opportunities. His professionalism was solid.

He was friendly, courteous and provided quick turnaround of the report. I was particularly impressed with the use of the drone camera, Ray flew it around and performed a detailed inspection of the roof. He discovered a problem with the chimney cap that had been professionally installed a few weeks beforehand. He provided pictures that I forwarded to the chimney co and they came out the next day to resolve. Had this not been fixed it's likely the cap would eventually get blown off the chimney and cause damage, so I'm pretty happy to have averted a potential disaster.
