My fiancé and I recently had Mike Szlepcsik inspect a home we're considering buying and I just don't even have enough nice things to say about this man and the company he works for! From the moment I called the office and spoke with Ann Marie, I felt so completely at ease with them. She answered all my questions and gave me a lot of background about the company and what their values are! She was just so lovely to speak with! Buying our first house has proven to be an incredibly stressful experience and the only thing that has not been stressful has been this home inspection. From the moment I spoke with Ann Marie I felt like this one thing at least would be done right and would be done easily. And Mike, oh my goodness what a wonderful man! He took such incredible time and paid so much attention even to the smallest details in the house. I really felt like I had a trusted family member going through the house with me. He answered all my questions honestly and in a way that I could understand. He put together an unbelievably detailed report and just overall took such pride in his work. I really felt like he had my best interests at heart and that meant a lot to me. All I can say is I will use this company in the future without question and I would recommend them with the highest level of confidence and enthusiasm to anyone I know that might need a home inspector. Safe Harbor Inspections is really just a company of the highest highest quality. They value their customers and take an immense amount of pride in what they do and I am so very grateful to have found them! Thank you again guys, for all of your help and keep up the excellent work that you do! You come into peoples lives in what is usually a very stressful time for them and you treat them with such kindness, you alleviate their worries, and you arm them with knowledge that they previously did not have. You should be very proud of the company you've built. read more

Our inspector, Mark Forca, was excellent and in addition to carrying out a very thorough inspection of the ins and outs of a home we have committed to buy, he was a jovial character and a true pleasure to work with. Throughout the inspection he invited me to accompany him and verbally walked me through his thought process as he meticulously compiled the details that went into a 215 page report. I had many questions that almost certainly extended the process and he answered all with patience and a number of jocular one liners thrown in. I left the inspection feeling very confident about the state of the home and surrounding premise and my ultimate decision to sign the contract to buy. Obviously, not everything can be addressed during these inspections, like checking levels of the septic system, but Mark performed as thorough and detail-oriented an inspection as reasonably possible. Some examples: walking along the roof to check shingles, joints, gutters, etc.; climbing into the crawl space of the attic to survey central AC unit and ductwork; checking woodwork throughout unfinished portion of basement and outside deck for termite damage (some telltale signs); checking fuse box and removing an improperly replaced screw with a sharp point that could puncture a wire and pose a fire hazard (a very minor detail I certainly would have missed); and checking all outlets with a multimeter and identifying a few with reversed polarity (shock hazard). Overall, I was very impressed with the inspection, very much enjoyed meeting Mark, and I highly recommend Safe Harbor Inspections (ask for Mark)! read more

Although I am not a direct client, as a Senior Mortgage Loan Officer, I come into contact with inspection companies from time to time. Safe Harbor Inspections is definately one of the most professional organizations I have had the pleasure to work with, since 1993. In this particular situation, I was called in to save a transaction that one of the larger lenders had taken in the mortgage application but, then, declined the file due to an internal credit policy the lender should have been aware of from the get go. Due to lost time, a critical inspection needed to be redone quickly, in order to close as soon as possible. Jim and his staff stepped up, saw the urgency of the situation and pulled off the inspection in less than 24 hours, thus, securing my client's closing date, and the family's move into their new home. I will be referring Safe Harbor Inspection to my clients in the future. Many kudos to Jim and his crew!! Lance Tarhan Senior Mortgage Loan Officer loanDepot 212-351-8009 read more

Exceptional. Professional. Diligent. Compassionate. A few words to describe my experience with Safe Harbor, and those that work within the company. Returning to a home filled with mold is alarming, and overwhelming. Almost losing my Father to Covid the night before our inspection added a much greater horror. Laura Slater, Director of Operations, was everything I needed in that moment. She took the time to explain every step we needed to take in getting us back home. She did so with such kindness and compassion given my situation. Laura was a much needed light in the dark tunnel I found myself in. Our inspector, Nick, was equally exceptional. He answered each question in great detail, and made it easy for me to understand. Every great company has great leaders. Jim and Colin are exactly that! If I had to do it all again, I would choose Safe Harbor infinite times. Appropriately named. You, your family, and your home are safe in Safe Harbor's hands. read more

I am in the process of purchasing my first home, which is an extremely nerve-wracking process. I had endless questions throughout this inspection process and Laura and Collin were amazing. Prior to my inspection both Laura and Collin were extremely accessible and went above and beyond to speak with me (beyond the scope of typical business hours) to put my mind at ease with the process. During the actually inspection Collin was so patient with the numerous questions that I asked, and he was always willing to answer everything with a smile on his face. Even though my inspection took nearly 3 hours, there was not even one point in time that I felt rushed. I really appreciated Collin's willingness to educate me throughout the home inspection process and I would certainly recommend him and this company to my friends and family! Thank you Collin, Laura, & Safe Harbor Inspections! read more

As a first time home buyer working with Safe Harbor has been the best experience thus far. To start, Laura in the office was amazing, she went above and beyond answering all of our questions. When we first started calling around looking for inspectors no one we spoke with seemed like they cared about the people that would be hiring them and were all about the $$ but after speaking with Laura, you could tell that she genuinely cared and it wasn't all about making a sale. I can't say enough nice things about her! Collin was our inspector and we couldn't believe how thorough he was - he was there for almost 3 hours. He really took his time and reviewed every inch of the house and explained so much to my husband and I throughout the inspection and explained things to us at the end. He was worth every dollar! I would highly recommend Sage Harbor Inspections to anyone! read more

As a realtor on the North Shore community, I have used Safe Harbor Inspections, Inc. many times over the years. I recently completed an inspection with Collin Ruppert of Safe Harbor on new construction. Collin Ruppert is knowledgeable, easy to work with. The detailed report pinpointed any and all issues, pictures of all, and comes thru with a user and password login. This enables the user/recipient to print out a walk-thru checklist to use prior to closing and is very user friendly. I was able to print out, from the report in a concise manor, any issues that were highlighted and needed attention now, prior to closing, to submit to seller. All in all, I highly recommend Safe Harbor Inspections, Inc. Lucille Oissar Licensed Associate Broker Charles Rutenberg Realty, Inc. read more

James was absolutely amazing! He was completely thorough with his inspection (the total time frame of the inspection was 1hr and 45mins). He went through the house a room at a time, took notes and pictures of every inch of the property. After the initial inspection was done he uploaded all the photos on his computer and briefly went over it with us. He explained the highlighted issues (structural, lighting, etc...) that needed to be addressed soon and things that could wait. He advise that a fully detailed report would be sent in 24hrs and it was sent later that evening! James was informative and just a pleasure to work with. My husband and I, felt comfortable and confident knowing his expertise was being used in the biggest decision of our lives. Money well spent. read more

This is my second time using Safe Harbor. The first time, they saved me from putting an offer on a house that would have been a money pit. I was very grateful to have found them. The second house I put an offer on they came out and was very thorough. Went through the entire house, showed me everything that I needed to be aware of and how things worked. The report came in quickly and was very detailed. I had the pleasure of working with both Collin and James and both times they made me feel at ease and comfortable with making my decision. Also, the customer service is amazing - Laura is absolutely fantastic and walks you through everything when scheduling the inspection. Definitely use them for any of your inspection needs in long island!! read more

We used Safe Harbor for an inspection for a home we put an offer on. I must address how happy my fiance and I were with the inspection Collin provided us with yesterday. Professional and thorough (with the inspection AND report) friendly, pleasant and most importantly they took their time to explain and go over everything. He made us feel comfortable and any questions or concerns we had were addressed and/or explained. The inspection was almost 3 hours and at the end, Collin went over everything with us in detail and just as promised we got a full extensive report emailed to us within 24 hours. We will most definitely be using them again and I HIGHLY recommend them if you are in need of an inspection company! Thank you! read more

First time home buyer - Jason came to the apartment with my husband and was incredible. He was so thorough and patient - he walked him through everything that he might need to know about the apartment and hadn't thought to ask. He showed each issue that he came upon but also was ready to compliment the work the contractor had done when he found things he thought were done really well so that we could be confident in the condition of the apartment. The report Safe Harbor sent us was thorough, had tons of pictures and recommendations for things that could be better, and Jason even sent a follow up text about the cost of an item that he had been slightly incorrect on at first glance. Would DEFINITELY recommend these guys. read more

I used Safe Harbor for my home inspection in Bushwick 2 weeks ago. As a real estate agent, I've dealt with a lot of inspectors, but was pretty impress with Safe Harbor. My boss used this company for the past 5 years for all his transactions and he highly recommended them to me, since i was buying my first house and was pretty nervous about it.... Dominick Sciancalepore was very punctual, professional, knowledgeable and was extremely thorough with the inspection. He went thru every single inch of a house in great detail. The report was sent within few hours. I would highly recommend them to all my clients and family. Thanks again Safe Harbor for an excellent inspection. Overall it is a definitely 100% 5 star service!!! read more

I highly recommend the Safe Harbor team. The company is very easy to do business with, we were able to execute the engagement documents and received the final report all online--which is a convenience and a time saver. Before leaving the site, we were able to review the report content, allowing us to advise our broker and attorney to move forward with the deal immediately. Again, a convenience and a time saver in a real estate market which is competitive and aggressive. We walked away from the inspection fully knowing the issues we will face when we move into the new place. We are fully confident in our decision to proceed because of the quality of the inspection. Definitely a 5 star experience. read more

Colin and Safe Harbor Inspections were recommended to us by our real estate agent and we couldn't be happier with them. Colin was extremely thorough with the inspection. He made sure we knew what to expect beforehand, he was explaining how everything works (or should work) in the house and was very knowledgeable about everything we asked about. He discovered an electrical problem so we were able to negotiate that cost in our contract and it saved us $2000. After he finished the inspection he showed us pictures of all the problems he has discovered and he sent us the report the very same day. We cannot say enough good things about Colin and the work he did for us. Highly recommended! read more

I was very happy with safe harbor inspections. James Ruppert performed the inspection thoroughly and took his time. He went over the whole house with precision. At every phase he would explain to me any concerns he saw that needed attention or repair. He didn't mind getting his hands dirty to check everything. Any questions I had he would answer in detail no matter how minor. At the end of the inspection he goes over in detail with numerous photos of the entire house and points out any concerns he feels needs mentioning. I was 100 percent satisfied. As far as I'm concerned, there's only one home inspection company you'll ever need to call and that's Safe Harbor inspection inc. read more

Jim and Mike were awesome. Prompt, courteous, thorough, and explained the process before they started. Asked if we had any concerns prior to doing the inspection. After and during explained what they saw and the power point presentation left no question as to their findings. The report was complete with color pictures and markings to show exactly where the issues were. AND we had it within 24 hours. We chose to walk away from the home we had inspected thanks to the knowledge we gained from this report. But we are still looking to purchase a home and NO doubt will be calling Jim to again to do the inspection. Thanks Jim and Mike, we will speak with you guys soon. : ) read more

Jim was great to deal with. He spent over 2 1/2 hours at the property we were going to purchase. When he was done, he went over the all the pics and his findings using his laptop. He told me I would have the entire inspection report via email within 24 hours--but it arrived in about 90 minutes! The report was thorough- and even the smallest details were photographed and documented. Arrows on the photos help you identify what is being described. And bold red print is used to additionally highlight anything that is deemed vital or important. In the end, we didn't buy this house--but will see Jim again in a few days for our next inspection! Easy people to deal with. read more

Mike S. did our home inspection about a month ago. As first time home buyers, the process can be intimidating. He was extremely thorough and very professional. Our inspection was a bit "unusual." The sellers requested this be done on a Sunday afternoon and the homeowners and their 6 children were present. Mike handled it very well and tried to go as in depth as possible despite the constraints. He pointed out the areas of concerns and made excellent suggestions on future home improvement projects. He had our report done with excellent photos within 2 hours of the inspection. I really appreciated how he took his time and answered all of our questions. read more
