Physical Conditions Analysis
Safe Harbor Inspections is different: we perform a true physical conditions analysis of the home you are considering purchasing. A Physical Conditions Analysis objectively describes the positive, negative and maintenance items associated with the property.  Most home inspectors strictly focus on property defects; we are different.  We want you to understand the property and that includes the positive aspects as well.  Whether you are getting a Long Island home inspection, a Nassau home inspection, a Suffolk home inspection, a Brooklyn home inspection, a Queens home inspection, or a New York City home inspection, it is very important for you to know for example that the windows were replaced, the floors were refinished, the kitchen and bathrooms were updated, or the boiler or hot water heater were recently replaced.  This is critical information that must be considered in the big picture of a property analysis; that is why we include a special section in our report on these items called "Upgrades".  We will also include maintenance items, such as painting, caulking, and other recommended routine maintenance procedures.

Best Report in the Business
Your home inspection report will include a color photograph (or more than one photograph if applicable) for each issue discussed in the report.  The photographs include graphics to help explain the condition. Each photograph includes a concisely written comment that clearly answers three questions, 1) what the issue is, 2) what happens if you do not deal with the issue, and 3) how we would recommend that you deal with the issue.

Because of the photographs and our concisely written statements, the report is a very easy and fast read and quickly conveys the physical conditions of the home.  Most home inspectors include lots of fluff and unnecessary text designed to limit liability; this makes their reports less meaningful and harder to read. Some companies produce 130 page inspection reports without any photographs and all black and white text. These reports are almost meaningless and to serve more to protect the home inspector. Whether you are getting a Long Island home inspection, a Nassau home inspection, a Suffolk home inspection, a Brooklyn home inspection, a Queens home inspection, or a New York City home inspection, having concise and meaningful home inspection report is critically important. Hopefully you are accompanying us during the home inspection, and you see things firsthand as a result. We will also summarize our findings at the end of the inspection by reviewing all of the photographs with you. However, sometimes the process can be overwhelming and having a top-quality report is a huge benefit to you.

Fast Report Delivery
Our home inspection reports are often delivered within a few hours of the inspection.  We recognize that you are making big decisions, and time is of the essence.  That is why we have developed systems and the use of technology that enable us to prepare high-quality reports including photographs of each issue and concise statements very quickly.  Our longest report turnaround is usually under 24 hours from the time of the inspection.  The report will be uploaded to a secure website and you will receive a link, username and password making it very easy to retrieve your report.  The report will remain on our website indefinitely for your future use and reference.  With your permission, we will make the report available to your attorney, your agents, and even the seller if you so desire. (According to New York State law, the findings of the report or your confidential information and we will not release any information without your approval. Time is critical, whether you are getting a Long Island home inspection, a Nassau home inspection, a Suffolk home inspection, a Brooklyn home inspection, a Queens home inspection, or a New York City home inspection.
