We just used Joe Pasaturo from AVT Enterprises as well. He’s recommended all over this site and that’s why we decided on using him.
Joe is extremely thorough and knowledgeable. Some people seem to think he is overly negative but I found him to be very realistic (he told us what fixes were immediate, what could wait for a few years, etc.). Regardless, I think consumers are better off with too much information than too little.
I also found a post where someone did not like waiting for him to type out the report on his laptop. I’m not sure why that would be a big deal given that you can still ask him questions while he’s writing the report. Again, I see this as a plus because the information is still fresh and you can ask questions as the report is being created.
Joe’s prices were also right on par with what we’ve found for the area (this is a prewar building in Park Slope).
I highly recommend Joe. Feel free to contact me if you would like more information (my id at hotmail).
we used Jason Hicks from WIN Home Inspection twice. Very nice, very thorough. Does a lot of explanation and demonstration as he walks through the house, which was really helpful for us – we’ve done a few “optional” projects based on some of his suggestions.
Jason’s phone is 516-510-7771. I think we paid about $600 for 2-family house.
I can recommend Robert Albani of Home Tech Consultants (718-819-0174), and I think a few others have posted good comments for him in the past.
He did a pre-closing inspection for me on a new construction condo and prepared a full report. Also answered all my questions both during and after.
Good luck!

We’ve used him twice. VERY thorough.
He’s around $800, but you get what you pay for
I paid $500 for the inspection & report. He also looked at the outside of the building and roof for potential problems…
Thank you! How were his rates?
