Only One Inspector
When you hire Good Counsel Home Inspections, you don't play inspector roulette. I am the only inspector. I handle the inspection process from scheduling to inspection report and your follow up questions.
Fully Licensed and Insured
I am a fully licensed and insured home inspector in the State of New Jersey. In addition to this I am bonded though one of my professional organizations, InterNACHI. I am also a licensed pest inspector for wood destroying insects, and a certified radon tester.
Why Choose Good Counsel for Your Home Inspection
Flexible Scheduling
It can be hard to get away from your job to attend a full home inspection. That's why I offer home inspection appointments everyday of the week with start times as early as 10:00 AM and as late as 3:30 PM.
Fast Turnaround
I know you're on a schedule. That's why I guarantee fast turnaround. Your inspection should't hold you up. Digital reporting also allows you to take your report anywhere, and give it to anyone you want.
Professional Reporting
I provide you with a neatly organized report complete with lots of photos, explanation, and recommendations. This way its easy for you to understand, use your report, and explain to others too.
