Inspector Reccomendation
My husband and I recently hired Robert Albani of Home Tech Consultants to do an inspection of a floor-through brownstone apartment in Park Slope. He was very thorough and knowledgeable. We were able to follow him during the inspection and learn a lot. He also answered our questions along the way. We highly recommend him. Robert’s office number is 718-819-0174.

Termite Inspector?
I'm looking for termite inspector ASAP, as we're already in contract. My read on the forums is that ...
Terminex is a bunch of upsellers;
But Parkway and AVP Termite & Pest Control are fine.
Anything I should know before I call those last two?
Other suggestions?

radon?
Having a house inspected for purchase in Windsor Terrace and am wondering whether a radon inspection is wise? I've heard it is rare in Brooklyn, but yet I tend to be cautious about these things. Anyone have info on this?

home inspection?
We are buying a house and need to have it inspected prior to contract. We made an appointment with Heimer - any thoughts or other recs? We called Rand but they couldn't do it soon enough. Any questions I should make sure to cover? Any advice? Thanks - first time home buyer here!

Roof and deck inspection
Before putting a garden in on our roofdeck I'd like to get the deck looked over to make sure it's structurally sound. Who does that kind of work?

Inspection on a coop?
We're hoping to go into contract on a coop soon, and I'm wondering whether it's standard practice to get an inspection done on a coop before closing. It certainly seems advisable to me, but so much of real estate custom in NYC is ill-advised, that I wonder if the seller might balk. Any experience with this? Thanks!

House Inspection
We just had Tim Curran of Safe Haven do an inspection for us, and would highly recommend him to anyone that's looking to buy a brownstone. He was very realistic, not an alarmist.
His contact: 718-745-6517

Question about a Survey
A property I am renting needs to have a survey done. What is entailed in a property survey? Do they just measure the lot and the building or do they take intensive measurements inside the property as well.
I'm wondering how long the process takes.

Recommend floor inspector?
I am looking for an inspector to accompany me to the walk-through of my new apartment. It's new construction, but I have particular concerns about the floor, so someone who is knowledgeable about floors but also competent in general would be great. Thanks!
