Rochester, NY inspector

Jeff Costa
Posted

I'm looking for a Rochester inspector who doesn't just look at the roof through binoculars, but climbs up on it. Who uses a thermal camera to look for water leaks. Who opens kitchen cabinet doors to ensure they work. Who fill a shower and looks for leaks in the room below. Who tests all the outlets for bad wiring. Do you know such a person? Got a reference?

I’ve never seen a roof inspector climb up on a roof, nor fill a tub… maybe your expectations are too high?  Or your buying garbage?  You get what you pay for… personally I don’t need inspections - I walk them myself.  If I’m buying distressed I budget to do everything anyway.  IMO slum props perform worse.  Spend a little more get a decent house.  You want a tub filled up maybe you should be there to fill it 😉
