In My Clients' Words
Hiring a Certified Master Inspector makes all the difference. Jack was very detailed and sent a complete report the same day as promised. I learned a lot about the house and how to care for it during the inspection. I would recommend HomeCheck to all first time buyers.
Francis Burnet
Jack was extremely helpful during the inspection. Was at the home early, very thorough and I had the report the next morning. I'd recommend HomeCheck to all.
Kiko Files
HomeCheck was professional from the first contact. Provided all services and answered all of our questions. Jack made the process fun and delivered the report right on time. Highly recommended!
Allan Reed
Amazing job! Super detailed exactly what I was looking for. Took his time and paid attention to detail. Highly recommend.
David Kolbasky
Jack was great and thorough with my home inspection. He explained the important parts of the house during the inspection and took pictures that were very helpful in the final report. His report was easy to understand and look through and I felt like he was on my side as a buyer. He used a drone for the roof and flagged several important issues for us. Would recommend.
Meir Snyder
Jack was extremely responsive and came out to complete the home inspection within 24 hours of our initial conversation. He was extremely thorough and detail oriented. His report came the very next morning and was very easy to navigate. Anytime I had questions or needed something Jack would assist right away. I would recommend HomeCheck, Ltd to anyone looking for a home inspection for a real estate purchase!
Shawn Hickson
Jack performed the inspection on my condo. He completed a comprehensive inspection and, as a first-time homebuyer, explained things and showed me tips and tricks about things I was once unfamiliar with (e.g. HVAC filter changing, safety on electrical outlets, etc.). He provided a very detailed inspection report and answered any questions that came up afterward. He is experienced, knowledgeable, and made me feel that the property I was purchasing was both safe and up to par. Would 10/10 recommend for all your home inspection needs!
Christy Zawistoski
Jack was knowledgeable and patient. All around good experience. Highly recommended!
Galit Aviv
Jack was absolutely wonderful. He was very professional and detailed. I am so happy with his service and the turnaround time. Highly recommend him.
Carla Jacome
Great service, with trained professionals and the agility to resolve real estate issues quickly. I recommend.

Frequently Asked Questions
Buying or selling a home can be a stressful experience. Here is what to expect from your inspection, so you can book with confidence.
Yes. Every inspection is backed by full professional licensing, advanced specialized certifications, and comprehensive coverage:
- State Licensing: Licensed by the New Jersey Home Inspection Advisory Committee (License #24G100192100).
- Master Designation: Certified by InterNACHI as a Master Home Inspector—the highest designation in the field. Verify InterNACHI Master Inspector Status.
- Specialized Certifications:
- Licensed NJDEP Radon Measurement Technician (MET #14177).
- US EPA Lead-Safe Dust Sampling Inspector (NAT F235374-1).
- Insurance: Fully covered by comprehensive Errors & Omissions (E&O) and General Liability insurance. A Certificate of Insurance (COI) is always available upon request.
I highly encourage all my clients to attend, especially first-time homebuyers. Walking the property with me is the best way to learn how your house works firsthand.
- Condos: Typically 1 to 1.5 hours on-site.
- Single-Family Homes: Typically 2 to 3 hours, depending on size and overall condition.
Both, including the local NJ ASHI chapter. Through InterNACHI (International Association of Certified Home Inspectors), I have earned the title of Board-Certified Master Inspector (CMI)—the highest professional designation in the industry. You can verify my credential directly through the board here: Verify InterNACHI Master Inspector Status.
I am 100% flexible. I understand real estate moves fast, and being an independent owner-operator means I don't have company rules holding me back. I will cancel, schedule, and reschedule around your needs until we get it done—there is never a fee for flexibility or any advance payment required.
Base inspections start at $400, with pricing tailored to the size of the home and any bundled services you choose. Payment is made at the time of inspection.
- Preferred: Zelle
- Also: Venmo, Cash, or Check.
- Credit Cards: Accepted as a last resort, but we prefer the methods above to save you the 5% processing surcharge.
I believe if you aren't ahead of the curve, you're behind it. HomeCheck leads the way by acquiring, integrating and deploying the latest technology on every job to give you the most accurate picture of the home, including:
- Advanced thermal imaging
- 4K drone technology
- Magnetometer for Oil Tank Sweep
- High Definition Video Scope/Recorder (Sewer Scope)
- AI/SI integration
Ground-only inspections are laughable, and walking steep roofs means the inspector is focused on their own safety first, not your roof. Instead, I deploy a 4K drone that captures 8k high definition pictures zoomed in on every detail. An average drone inspection yields about 125 photos, which I can then study every nook-and-cranny on a large-screen monitor as I prepare your report.
Absolutely—Even in my most basic inspection, it is never optional. I aggressively search for organic growth and mold. I deploy advanced thermal imaging and moisture meters to track down hidden leaks and damp areas. If I find organic growth or the active moisture conditions that cause it, I flag it immediately so you know exactly what needs to be done before you buy.
The short answer: everything from the roof peak to the foundation slab.
- Core Inspection: Evaluates structural framing, exterior, roof systems, plumbing, electrical panels, HVAC, insulation, and interior components.
- Custom Bundles: Beyond the core inspection, I offer discounted service bundles—ranging from "Essentials" to an "All-In" package—so you can customize exactly how deep you want to dive into the property.
I encourage it. I build my schedule expecting to review each report with my clients line-by-line. I will explain any concerns and make sure you are 100% comfortable and understand every detail before you move to the next step.
You should finish your inspection knowing exactly what you are buying: the good, the bad, and the costly. Every inspection conducted personally by a Board Certified Master Home Inspector.
