Home inspectors in middlesex county (Elizabeth, Point Pleasant: how much, buying a house, buying)

[umarvind]

Hello Everyone:
We are in the process of buying a house in iselin, NJ. The house is built in 1957. We need a good home inspector who does the job well and can look into the minor things also.

Please suggest one if anybody knows.

thanks
Uma.

Somebody else recently asked about this too. If you do a search you should be able to find the post and it had quite a few referrals on it.

Called up the inspection companies in the following thread:

I was able to reach Shelter works. I left messages on the rest of the companies. They are saying they would charge $800 for 3 (radon, termite and home ) inspections. Is this a reasonable price? I have no idea how much a home inspection would cost. Please let me know.

thanks
Uma.

Peake Home Inspections did the inspection for the buyers of our house in Iselin. I think they're out of Point Pleasant, and they provided a pretty thorough report. $800 sounds pretty high IMO- I'd think around $300-400 for the actual inspection, add another $75-100 for radon, and the same for termites, and maybe you're looking at $500-600 total.

Thanks Bob. That was helpful. I will call up them and find out the details.

I just did a home inspection recently; for radon, termites and General Home Inspection, it cost me around $500. If you don't need radon, it would be $100 something less.

As I'm a Chinese, I picked a Chinese Inspector; so that, we can speak Native Chinese for better communication and understandings.

IMO, he sounds experienced and honest. If you're interested into this Inspector, PM me then.

Inspections should cost between $400 to $500 including Termite. Anything over $500 is pretty high and $800 is just nuts!!

Thanks. Do you have a contact number for them and any individual from that company in specific?
