    They were very easy to schedule & they did a thorough job! Mike is a true professional who took time to explain every little detail. Would highly recommend their services.

    HouseMaster has been my go-to inspection company for years. Bob and Mike Horvath are both excellent, knowledgeable and thorough, offering comprehensive explanations of everything a new homeowner would want to understand about their purchase. They complete their extensive report on the spot and it is available online within hours. I would give them 10 stars if i could!!!!

    Yani was EXTREMELY thorough and helpful. He walked us through the condition of the house in great detail and explained everything to us with great patience. He was very amiable and answered all of our questions thoroughly. We were very pleasantly surprised with the amount of knowledge he had about all the structures and materials. It was a true premium service.

    Efficient, knowledgeable, cheerful service. My client was out of town, but Mike Horvath was willing to address my client at the beginning of the inspection via FaceTime, and then again at the end. A special shout out to Nicole in the office who was so helpful with scheduling. As the owner of a Nyack based real estate firm, I consider HouseMasters one of our trusted resources for home inspections.

    Have been recommending House Masters for almost 30 years. Bob Horvath was the inspector on the first house I listed, and was the inspector on the house I sold last week, and lots of homes in between. Still the same knowledgeable an patient inspector.

    HouseMaster was great! Thorough, knowledgeable and professional. Accommodated our timeline, prompt and received the report the same day. The best I have ever worked with.

    We recently used Mike for a home inspection. The entire process was seamless and reliable! From making an appointment to the actual inspection, I was very impressed. Mike was professional, courteous, and incredibly knowledgeable. I feel confident proceeding in the home buying process after using their services.

    Fantastic, thorough, and very genuine. He took the time to walk us through everything, and made me not only feel like I was getting an inspection, but an education on how to care for the house over the next few decades. Great service

    The appointment scheduling was very fast. The person on the call was very friendly and helpful. I did the inspection with Yanni yesterday, and had a great experience! The inspector was very thorough, had very clear explanations, answered any concerns with problem solving options. It is my 5th time purchasing a home, I have been through several inspections and this one was outstanding! Thank you!

They made the process easy and they did a great job.

    I used Mike from HouseMaster for house inspection this week. Mike is the best person, very knowledgeable and goes very granular in conducting the inspection.. He spent almost 4 hours in doing the inspection and kept explaining all the details, findings and possible solutions. I was super impressed with his knowledge about house, structure, mechanical, electrical, plumbing, roof and everything.. Haven’t see such knowledgeable person before in this job.. Thanks to Mike for doing a great job. I recommend prospect home buyers to definitely hire Mike from HouseMaster for inspection..

    We had a great experience with Karl! He was very professional and thorough. He also explained many things to my husband and me, like how to maintain a deck and the best pipes for washing machines, which are helpful for first-time home buyers like us. The report we received is very detailed, which we will use as a reference for many years to come.

    Mike Horvath was professional, extremely knowledgeable and very thorough with my inspection. As a first time homebuyer, having a professional expert like Mike take his time to review everything with extreme detail was super helpful and comforting. I highly recommend using HouseMaster!

    Always 5-Star service in every way, from initial booking to final reports. The admin team was very responsive, following up with confirmations, post-inspection reports and detail. Our inspector was highly knowledgeable, familiar with cutting-edge and 1800's heating/cooling systems and more. More than just a house inspection. My buyer clients were super impressed, and they've bought and sold over a dozen properties in several countries! When you want the best, this is who you call.

    Wonderful experience with Mike at HouseMasters. He was able to come within 48 hours and provided a very in depth inspection. Took his time explaining everything in easy to understand terms and answered all our questions. Highly recommend.

    Much as I liked the courteous gentleman who did the 'inspection', I cannot recommend this or any other Housemaster franchise inspection Service. The Parent Company Housemaster and I disagree fundamentally on what an inspection should do. Housemaster doesn't evaluate the most critical and most expensive parts of a home. If you want a report with lots of photos of small things like a bent gutter or a missing shingle, then go ahead. But just know, you aren't getting useful information on your HVAC (very expensive), your roof (expensive), your chimneys (can be very expensive), and your plumbing (potentially very expensive). In retrospect, what I wish I had done instead was hire a plumber, an HVAC firm, a roofer, and an electrician, paid each of them to deeply assess those things. At least you will know something useful and potentially avoid catastrophic loss. I "lost" $16K in repairs soon after my inspection in one of these categories on an emergency basis. It was knowable to a real domain expert, but missed by Housemaster. The following are actual sentences from my report: "NOTE: The inspection of the plumbing system is limited to readily visible and accessible elements. NOTE: The inspection of cooling systems is limited to readily visible and accessible elements. NOTE: The inspection of heating systems is limited to readily visible and accessible elements. NOTE: The inspection of the electric systems is limited to readily visible and accessible elements. NOTE: The evaluation of a roof is primarily a visual assessment based on general roofing appearances."
    I understand that my review is in stark contrast to others' reviews, but unless you stare down a $16k repair bill, and wonder why your inspection didnt reveal this problem, you wouldnt necessarily understand how little a Housemaster report is actually serving you.
