What Makes Our Home Inspections Different?

Our Client (You) Are Our # 1 Priority!

I Am One Of The Few Home Inspectors In NJ Who Have Pledged:

Not to allow real estate agents to influence how our home inspection findings are conveyed to home buyers; reward or compensate anyone for referring clients; produce any marketing material designed for or aimed at agents; solicit real estate agents with the intent of obtaining inspection referrals.

  • Michael will help you stear clear of the "as is during home inspection" trap!
  • I Taught Other Home Inspectors, Therefore I Know How To Teach You:

    As an instructor at Morris County School of Technology, as a field training mentor for student home inspectors and even as an instructor for New Jersey Home Inspector Continuing Education Classes I taught other home inspectors and prospective home inspectors how to inspect a home. As your home inspector, I will teach you about your new home. I will have you looking at homes differently, touching and seeing defects firsthand so you will learn what is right, what is wrong and more importantly why it is wrong. I already know about homes, therefore I make it my job to teach you about your prospective new home. Please call us at: (973) 812-5100

    We Provide Value To Our Clients:

    Initially you might pay a little more for the inspection I perform, ultimately you are likely to save money! Often short term savings occur during negotiations with the seller. Long term savings occur since problems with the home can be remedied before additional damages are incurred. You may wish to read our Guide to Choosing the Right Home Inspector

    What Makes Us Different?

    Our very thorough, detailed, informative, helpful and knowledgeable inspector will take the time to answer all your questions and to explain everything to you until you understand it. Our inspection cost may be a little higher but the added value and peace of mind you obtain is well worth it.

    Our 100% Satisfaction Guarantee:

    Our goal is not only for 100 % of our clients to be satisfied but for 100% of our home inspection clients to refer us to additional clients and real estate attorneys. I am confident that my home inspections represent the best value to you, our client. If at the end of your home inspection you feel we did not meet our goal PLEASE tell the inspector! You will not be charged for the inspection.

    Home Inspection Cost:

    Let’s help you put the cost of a home inspection in perspective: For example, if you are buying a $ 500,000 home and the inspection fee is around $ 1000 the inspection fee is 1 / 500th of the cost of the home! The cost of a quality home inspection is a bargain!

    If the inspection turns up little wrong with the home (few of our thorough home inspections do), you’ve bought some relatively inexpensive peace of mind. If the inspection finds serious problems (many do), then the few hundred dollars you invested in a home inspection could end up saving thousands or tens of thousands of dollars. If you hired an inexperienced home inspector major problems are more likely to be missed. Having an inspector learn on your time can cost you much more than you saved initially.

    Highly Qualified Inspectors:

    Our highly qualified and experienced home inspector is an honest professional who will take the time to explain how the home functions in plain language that you can understand. When we ask (and we will many times) if you have any questions it is because I love to answer questions!

    I know for a fact that it takes a few decades to learn how to inspect a home, not a few weeks. There is a steep learning curve for new inspectors. Make sure you hire the most experienced inspector you can find !

    Why Choose Us For Your Home Inspection

    Since 1993 We Have Been Providing A Very Thorough, Detailed, Informative, Helpful And Knowledgeable Inspector Who Will Take The Time To Answer All Your Questions And To Explain Everything To Your Satisfaction.

    The “Best Home Inspector” Means Different Things To Different People.

    To the home buyer:

    • The best home inspector is most likely the home inspector who works for them and for them only. There are a select few independent home inspectors who ONLY work for clients and who put the client’s interest FIRST.
    • Some home inspectors work for clients, however, they have to be careful to only tell clients so much to avoid risking future referrals from real estate agents. The few independent home inspectors who ONLY work for clients and who put the client’s interest FIRST find it hard to get referrals from real estate agents.
    • When you are looking for a plumber or electrician, some of the first criteria one might consider are how long he has been in the industry and what kind of reviews are out there about him. Home inspectors are no different. The quality of a home inspection will ultimately mean a lot to you after making the purchase decision on a home.

    Put simply, you don’t just want any home inspector; you want the best home inspector.

    “Your Home Inspection Will Be Performed With The Same Degree Of Thoroughness, Integrity, Attention To Detail And Care As If I Were Buying The Home For Myself.” – Michael Del Greco

    To determine how to make your choice, start by speaking with colleagues, friends and family members who have recently purchased homes about their experience. If they had good experiences, follow their lead and ask to get the name of the home inspector they used. Many times, you may find their home inspection experience was not memorable, or not positive, in which case you need to do some investigating of your own.

    Realize like any other job, experience leads to better service. A home inspection is a profession where the inspector is constantly learning from his clients.

    Always feel free to ask your home inspector questions about his qualifications and experience. Any skilled inspector will be happy to provide them. At Accurate Inspections, Michael Del Greco has only been performing home inspections for over 29 years and has a continuing commitment to ongoing education. We are very proud of the consistently positive feedback are receiving from thousands of our clients.

    Unfortunately, many home inspectors do not provide quality reports that in plain English say what is wrong, why it is wrong and what to do about it. Too often home inspectors walk on egg shells, in constant fear they will write something that causes a buyer not to purchase a home ending all future referrals from an entire real estate office.

    When working with Accurate Inspections, you can feel secure that your report will be clear, concise, and well-written. Our reports list all impending issues, potential effects of these problems, and proposed repairs that can be performed. Like any good inspection service, our reports can serve as a tool to help negotiate the price of the home you are interested in purchasing.

    Those who are not careful when choosing their home inspector can often run into the problem of having an inexperienced, inept and or careless inspector. Make sure the inspector is licensed and has the references to vouch for his or her quality of work. Also, keep in mind that an inspector referred to you by your real estate agent can be trouble.

    Always keep in mind that the average home in New Jersey today sells for hundreds of thousands of dollars. The cost of a good, reliable inspector who will work for you and your interests will be a very small percentage of that number. When considering the risk involved with a low-quality inspection, don’t let a few hundred dollars make the difference. Just like any other service, quality costs a little more.

    At Accurate Inspections, Our Clients Always Come First.

    We hired Accurate Inspections to do an independent inspection of a house we were hoping to purchase. Michael showed up early to do an outdoor inspection, and when I arrived, he meticulously went through all the findings he had so far. As we toured through the house, he would point out not just findings on repairs he would suggest, but also tips on how to properly maintain particular aspects of the house. Michael is very knowledgeable and professional, and I would hire his company again for any future inspections.
    The owner/inspector Michael was extremely helpful and straightforward. I would recommend this company to anyone in NJ who needs an inspection!

    Michael performed our home inspection as first time home buyers. He walked us through every step, was extremely thorough, was very willing to answer questions, and even asked us after each room if we had any questions. It was a true learning experience and I wouldn’t have wanted anyone different to do my inspection.
    Michael is excellent. Attention to detail, education he provides during the inspection, and his comprehensive report post inspection are valuable to a first time home buyer.

    I recently hired Michael for a home inspection, and I was really impressed! He checked everything, from the mechanical and structural stuff to the electrical, appliances, and roof. He gave me a detailed report with great suggestions. I also liked that he gave me email templates to ask the town about permits.

    We are so glad our realtor recommended Michael. M was incredibly thorough, meticulous, and really tried to explain everything he was doing and finding around the home we had him inspect. He taught us so much, something we're especially grateful for as first-time home buyers. M was also great with a crowd, didn't mind at all that we brought family to our inspection, even said he appreciated having so many eyes and questions from everyone at once. 10/10 would recommend, and we'll definitely be calling him next time we need an inspector!
    Called Michael to inspect a home I was interested in buying. He was as advertised and provided me with a full breakdown of the issues the home had. Saved me thousands in potential repairs and countless headaches. Would use again and recommend to anyone.
    Michael went above and beyond. He was extremely thorough in his inspection, pointing out details that will be fundamental in determining my next steps in the purchase transaction.

    Had a very pleasing experience with Mike as he went through inspections, explained every detail and provided tips on what to look for and do in different seasons or situations. Very thorough reporting and prompt responses to our questions. Definitely 100% recommending Mike for inspections.
    We recently used Michael for our home inspection in New Milford as first-time homebuyers, and we couldn’t be more pleased with his service. He came highly recommended by my sister, and it’s clear why. Michael was incredibly thorough in his inspection, taking the time to check every detail and answer all our questions. What truly stood out was the comprehensive binder he provided us with afterward, which included a detailed report, photos, and clear explanations of his findings. This binder will be a great reference as we settle into our new home.

    We felt confident in our home purchase thanks to Michael’s expertise, and we plan to use his services for any future inspections. If you’re looking for a meticulous, knowledgeable, and professional home inspector, we highly recommend Michael at Accurate Inspections!
    Michael was a great inspector. He was so patient and took the time to explain all of the workings throughout the house. As new soon-to-be home owners, this was extremely helpful for us. I would highly recommend him!
    I recently had the pleasure of working with Michael Del Greco of Accurate Inspections, Inc. for a home inspection, and I couldn't be happier with the service provided. From start to finish, the entire process was smooth, professional, and incredibly thorough. The inspector was punctual, knowledgeable, and took the time to explain every detail, ensuring I was fully informed about the property's condition. His attention to detail and commitment to quality gave me immense confidence in my purchase. I highly recommend Accurate Inspections to anyone in need of a top-notch home inspection service. Five stars all the way!
    I am a first time, single income homebuyer. My main concerns were if I could afford the house with the repairs it needed and what would be needed in the future to avoid blindsiding my budget. Michael was very thorough. He went through the entire house and provided a list of both immediate and future repairs needed. He also taught me about how different systems worked in the house and best practices. Highly recommend Michael for your home inspection!
    Michael was great. During the inspection he identified problems, as well as areas of future concern. He took the time to explain what he saw and always asked if I had further questions. As an aviation engineer, I was impressed with Michael's knowledge of not only what was wrong, but how and why these problems should be addressed.
    Had a very good experience with Michael. He was very personable and seemed very thorough with his work. He always explained everything in a way that was very easy to understand. His turnaround with the inspection reports was extremely prompt as well.
    What a guy! Mike inspected our new home yesterday and I can't say enough good things about our experience. He was so patient and kind and took the time to explain every single thing in great detail (in a way that anybody could understand). He had us touch things and stand in certain places to show us every little part of the house, while explaining what the big things and the little things were. I felt like I was in a 4 hour science class with a favorite teacher - I took notes on every important topic and feel like I know exactly what I'm getting myself into and how to fix the problems. Not only was Mike GREAT, his staff was as well. The women behind the phone were so pleasant and kind, the whole experience was a 100 out of 10. HIGHLY recommend.
    Michael was thorough and professional and identified several major issues that were not at all evident to my untrained eye. His inspection was the impetus I needed to check on the discrepancies he noted, the most major of which were unpermitted changes to the floor plan structure resulting in instability of roofing structure. Ended up not going through with purchase, and while before I was very happy my offer was accepted, I am now ecstatic that I am not stuck with what would have been a nightmare !

    Will seek help again for the next house I offer on as I continue my search, and would unquestionably recommend Accurate Inspections to other prospective homebuyers. Cannot understate how valuable it was .
