Buying in western Suffolk? Many homes here went up in the 1950s and 1960s, when Long Island’s building boom moved east from Nassau. Capes, ranches and split-levels sit on bigger lots, and most have been updated in pieces over the years.

Gregory Girardi has spent over 35 years building, fixing and inspecting homes across Long Island. He’s a NYS licensed home inspector and a licensed home improvement contractor. He makes the drive out east so you know what you’re buying before you sign.

What We Check in Suffolk County Homes

Insulation and drafts. Suffolk winters are hard on older homes with thin attic insulation and little in the walls. We check the attic and use infrared cameras to show you where heat is getting out.

Roofs. Many roofs here need repair or are close to replacement, and some have new shingles laid over old ones. We tell you how much life is left. Drone Roof Inspection

Old wiring. Small panels, two-prong outlets and old wire are common in homes this age. We check the panel and the wiring we can see, and tell you what needs an electrician.

Lead paint and asbestos. Homes built before 1978 can have lead paint under newer coats. Older floor tiles, pipe wrap and siding can contain asbestos. We point out what to watch, and we can test it. Lead & Water Testing Asbestos Testing

Cesspools and septic systems. Many Suffolk homes aren’t on a public sewer. Ask the seller what system the home uses and when it was last pumped or inspected, so there are no surprises after closing.

Questions We Hear From Suffolk County Buyers

Do you really come out to Suffolk?

Yes. We inspect homes across western Suffolk, from Huntington and Melville to Babylon and Islip.

Do you inspect the cesspool or septic system?

That’s a separate check done by a septic company. We’ll note what we can see, like drain lines and signs of backups, and tell you to have the system checked before closing.

How long does an inspection take?

Most homes take 2 to 3 hours. You’re welcome to come along and ask questions.
