Proudly Providing Inspection Services for Rochester, Fairport, Spencerport, Irondequiot, Henrietta, Brighton, Chili, Greece, Hilton, Brockport, and Surrounding Areas

At NPI, we know that selling your home can feel overwhelming. When you don’t know the full condition of your home, a buyer’s inspection ordered during the closing process can lead to delays, price negotiations, re-negotiations, and last-minute contractor repair estimates. With a pre-listing inspection from NPI, you can enter negotiations prepared and proactive. Fewer surprises and last-minute repairs help you sell faster for a higher price.

What are the Benefits of a Pre-Listing Inspection?

  • Sell Faster For More Money: A home that has been pre-inspected is more attractive to buyers. With a report that documents the current condition of the home, buyers are more likely to feel confident in making an offer quickly. A pre-listing inspection also allows you to set a competitive asking price based on the actual condition of your home, reducing the likelihood of last-minute price reductions or extended negotiations.
  • Increase Buyer’s Confidence: A pre-listing inspection provides transparency, showing buyers that you’ve been a proactive homeowner and kept the property in good condition. When buyers feel confident that there are no hidden surprises, they are more likely to make strong offers.
  • Reduce Chance of Negotiations During Closing: One of the most stressful parts of selling a home is often the negotiations that occur following a buyer’s inspection. If hidden issues are discovered during the buyer's inspection, it can lead to last-minute demands for repairs or price reductions that could potentially derail the sale. By conducting a pre-listing inspection, you can address any problems before listing the home, minimizing the chance of negotiations and helping to ensure a smoother closing process.

Our Client Testimonials

Here’s what our inspection clients have to say about their experience with NPI.

Jason S.
Tom was fantastic and answered all my questions. He was timely and thorough. In a market where we couldn't get an home inspection prior to buying our house, learning more and getting a to do list for the future was well worth the money.
Lyzette M.
Tom went above and beyond for us, driving 2 hours to do the home inspection. He didn't hurry through the process, he looked at every corner, even areas we didn't think to look at. My husband and I couldn’t be happier that Tom agreed to work with us. Very highly recommended!
Zach M.
Tom did a wonderful job with our inspection. He was extremely thorough, and explained everything in detail. He answered any questions we had and was extremely patient. I would absolutely recommend him and will be using him on any other properties we buy in the future.
Brittany D.
Tom was very thorough while inspecting our house. This is our first home so we were very nervous, but Tom spent 3.5 hours going through the entire house and then explained the inspection in detail. We will definitely recommend him to other home buyers.
Jack W.
Tom was punctual, very knowledgeable, professional, and friendly. He brought concerns to my attention during inspection, explained everything he was doing, what he was looking for, why he was looking for it, and what possible remedies could be looked into. You won’t regret if you hire him!
Maria S.
Tom is beyond professional. I have and will continue to recommend him to friends. He was very thorough and made himself available for any questions I had. Thank you, Tom, for making my first time home buying experience a little less stressful!!!
Cory W.
Since I was a first-time homebuyer, I followed Tom through the house, asking him a million questions. Tom was willing to share his knowledge with me, which put me at ease. Three months later, I had another question and Tom took the time to come out for no additional charge! I'll always use Tom.
John P.
I scheduled Tom for my 11th-month inspection, and he was a pleasure to work with. Tom found several issues that I wasn't even aware of. That might not be saying much, because I'm no expert, but he also found issues that the inspector I hired for the pre-purchase inspection missed! I will be recommending Tom to anyone I know.
Tom I.
Tom is an outstanding inspector. When we were selling our house, Tom found things wrong that we weren't aware of after living there for 16 years. After that, we hired Tom to do our inspection for our new property. Tom is very thorough, and he doesn't rush through the inspection. We really appreciate that Tom is not the norm - he goes above and beyond.
Patrick M.
We recently built a new home and NPI Rochester was excellent during the foundation, framing, rough-in of utilities, and final inspections. Tom is super professional and responsive. I am looking forward to our 11-month (Pre-warranty) inspection.

What's Included in an NPI Home Inspection?

Roof & Attic

NPI inspectors walk your roof to identify issues like warped shingles or worn flashings, and attics are checked for signs of water intrusion and wildlife.

Plumbing

All plumbing fixtures are evaluated for proper draining and signs of leaks. Your inspector also checks the hot/cold water supplies. 

Electrical

Your inspector will carefully evaluate the home’s electrical system, including the service entrance and panel. Outlets will also be tested.

HVAC

The full HVAC system will be evaluated, including the furnace, air conditioning unit, and ductwork as access allows.

Built-In Appliances

The functionality of built-in appliances such as ovens, fridges, and dishwashers will be documented in your report

Structure

All visible areas of your foundation, flooring, framing, and attic are thoroughly examined for safety, integrity, and quality of workmanship.

Walls & Ceilings

Your NPI inspector identifies the condition of the home’s walls and ceilings, looking for signs of water intrusion, cracks, or other potential issues.

Windows & Doors

Doors are checked for sticking, which could indicate a foundation issue. Windows are assessed to ensure they’re property sealed to outside elements.

Crawl Space

If applicable, crawl spaces are checked for signs of mold growth, wood rot, wildlife, and damaged structural components.

Exterior

The exterior inspection includes evaluation of the roof, gutters, windows, and siding.

Lots & Grounds
