Avoid Having a Remodeling Problem in Your New Home
Once we inspect your home and you make your home purchase many people will remodel their new homes.
Unfortunately, in the Long Island and New York City area the #1 consumer complaint involves home remodeling.
After having been in the remodeling business for many years and seen a variety of shoddy jobs and situations where people were being taken advantage of, I decided that I would write a book on how not to get into a BAD remodeling situation. We include this book with all our inspections.
I hope you like it- Hank Jaworowski

"I was intrigued and impressed by the model of two inspectors, and appreciated their quick reply and ease of scheduling. We've used Precision twice now, for two separate homes, and could not be more satisfied. They have a distinct focus on educating the owner about the house they are purchasing. And not just about the house as it is, but forward-looking maintenance, too. They were thorough, spent time answering our questions, and provided a very clear, easy to read report with many photographs. We could not offer a stronger endorsement of using them for a home inspection. -- Todd P., Ph.D., Port Jefferson, NY"
