"No architecture can be truly noble which is not imperfect." — John Ruskind
October Home Inspection's owner and home inspector is Arlene Puentes, the personal pronoun “ I “ on this website.
I am a high quality professional building inspector dedicated to giving you expert building condition information.
Although October Home Inspections costs more, your important real estate decision demands a thorough inspection performed with careful diligence and unimpeachable loyalty.
"Any dead thing can go with the stream; it takes something alive to swim against it."
— G. K. Chesterton
To serve you better, October Home Inspections does not solicit realtor referrals. I choose this policy in order to avoid any possible conflict with your interests.
Think about it. If your building inspector must depend upon realtor referrals for work, whom must that home inspector try to please?
Please be careful with home inspectors who depend upon realtor referrals. Alas, realtor referrals allow sub-standard home inspectors to prosper because their success in business doesn't depend upon doing a good and comprehensive job. Actually, it can be just the opposite.
Ask your friends and co-workers and you're sure to hear a few realtor-referred home inspector stories that will scare you.
I feel so strongly about this that I am a member of the
Independent Home Inspectors of North America and have signed their "No Conflict of Interest Pledge."
Even with this policy there are realtors who demand the best for their clients
and refer October Home Inspections knowing that I will have a faithful and unfailing concern for your welfare, not for the sale, and that my inspection for you will take a long time and that I will give you expert, detailed, objective, non-biased, defensible, and accurate information.
"Character is so largely affected by association, that we cannot afford to be indifferent as to who or what our friends are."

— Please don't be impressed by this — it is easy to get a NYS home inspector's license and this information is here because NYS law requires that I post my NYS license ID number on this website. So there. Now I've done that and can go back to telling you about credentials that are true indications of my ability to serve you expertly.

Commercial Building Inspections
The building inspections are a methodical investigation of your building's condition followed by a written report.
The inspection is performed in compliance with the
Standards of Practice
and the
Code of Ethics
of the American Society of Home Inspectors and will include the foundation, framing, basement, crawl spaces, garage, roofs, kitchens, bathrooms, interior rooms, attics, plumbing, heating, cooling and electrical systems.
If you are the buyer in a real estate transaction, the building inspection will help you make an informed buying or leasing decision.
If you are a real estate seller a pre-sale building inspection will give you the opportunity to repair or disclose the items that the buyer's inspector may find.
This will help minimize the chance of a delay in the sale which, by the way, is MUCH more expensive than a pre-sale building inspection.
I encourage you to attend the building inspection and to
ask questions.
