Be confident in your home purchase

Inspecting your new home is one of the most important parts of the home buying process.

When buying a home of any age, size, or style, it is vital to be aware of its current condition.

​

AN INFORMED DECISION IS A SMART DECISION.

In addition to being a civil engineer, I am certified and licensed by the State of NJ as a Residential Home Inspector. I have additional qualifications and certifications listed below.  I will spend 2-5 hours (depending on size, type and age), inspecting your new home with a fine toothcomb from the basement floor slab all the way up to the roof covering and chimney caps. I will examine every home mechanical system as well as the structure and finishes, inside and outside (see list on this page). As one of the most likely causes of home damage is water, I pay special attention to the exterior physical and home conditions, before even entering the home. To examine your roof, I will fly a drone (I have an FAA license to do so) over it, taking high resolution pictures which will be examined in close-up to identify problems others may miss.  Included in every home inspection is inspecting for wood destroying insects and for mold and moisture problems. With Brookfield Home Inspections, you will have a Civil Engineer performing your inspection, bringing years of specialized training and construction experience to your home inspection. I have decades of related experience and I specialize in old homes and the quirky things that come with them (plaster walls, steam heat, knob and tube etc). My home is about 150 years old!

You will also find me friendly, approachable and plain-speaking. I genuinely want to engage with you and educate you on your home and any issues I find, rather than being transactional and baffling you with jargon and industry-speak. For this reason, I take the time during the inspection to show you any issues I uncover as well as how to operate the major systems. I encourage my clients to follow me around so you get to know your new home. Because of this philosophy, I am an especially good Inspector for first time buyers. Don’t just take my word for it, look at my customer reviews!

​

Brookfield Home Inspections will promptly prepare a comprehensive and readable HOME INSPECTION REPORT including pictures, clear and detailed explanations and recommendations.
