Why Inspect

Your Offer Got Accepted. Now What?

The inspection period is your one chance to fully understand the property before you’re legally bound to it. What the listing photos don’t show — the aging electrical panel, the slow sewer line, the abandoned oil tank buried in the backyard — that’s what we find.

A thorough inspection either confirms you’re making a great decision or gives you the information you need to renegotiate, walk away, or plan ahead. Either way, you win.

The average home inspection costs $400–$600. The average repair discovered during an inspection costs $3,000–$10,000. Skipping an inspection is rarely the money-saver it feels like in the moment.

Find Problems Before Closing

Discover defects while you still have negotiating power — before they become your problem after closing.

Negotiate With Confidence

Discover defects while you still have negotiating power — before they become your problem after closing.

Plan for Future Maintenance

Discover defects while you still have negotiating power — before they become your problem after closing.

Walk Away If You Need To

Discover defects while you still have negotiating power — before they become your problem after closing.

Our Services

Everything in One Visit

Every service below can be bundled in a single inspection visit — saving you time and helping you get the most complete picture of your home before closing.

Home Inspection

Comprehensive evaluation of structure, systems, and safety — 400+ inspection points. The foundation of every transaction.

Radon Testing

Radon is the #1 cause of lung cancer among non-smokers. NJ is a high-risk state. EPA-protocol test with 48-hour results.

Termite Inspection

Wood-destroying organism inspection required by most NJ mortgage lenders. Don’t close without it.

Oil Tank Sweep

Ground-penetrating scan for buried oil tanks — common in pre-1980 NJ homes. Remediation can cost $20,000+.

Sewer Scope

Camera inspection of the lateral sewer line. Root intrusion, pipe collapse, and deterioration — video footage included.

Pre-Listing Inspection

Sellers: know what buyers will find before they find it. Protect your asking price and prevent surprise renegotiations.

11-Month Warranty

Buying a new build? Inspect before the builder’s 1-year warranty expires. Find defects while they’re still covered.

Commercial Inspection

CCPIA-certified Property Condition Assessments for investors and lenders across the Tri-State region.

What Is a Licensed Master Inspector?

The Licensed Master Inspector (LMI) designation is awarded only to inspectors who have completed 1,000+ fee-paid inspections and met rigorous continuing education requirements. Less than 3% of inspectors nationwide hold this designation.

When you hire an LMI, you’re hiring someone who has seen virtually every type of defect, understands context and severity, and knows the difference between what requires immediate attention and what’s routine maintenance.

Why Inspect

Your Inspector, Arty Ghazaryan

Arty founded Dwelling Inspections on one principle: every buyer deserves the full picture before they sign. With a background in both real estate sales and investment, he understands exactly what’s at stake in every transaction.

As a licensed realtor and LMI certified in both NJ and NY, Arty brings a perspective few inspectors can match — he knows what defects cost to fix, how they affect property values, and what information matters most when you’re making the biggest financial decision of your life.

Common Questions

Homebuyer FAQ

Answers to the questions we hear most from first-time and repeat buyers.

Should I be present during the inspection?

Yes — and we encourage it. Following along lets us explain findings in real time, answer your questions on the spot, and make sure you leave with a clear understanding of the property’s condition.

How long does an inspection take?

Typically 2–4 hours depending on the size and age of the property. Older homes and larger properties take longer. Add-on services like radon and oil tank sweeps run concurrently.

When do I receive my report?

Your full digital report — with detailed photos and explanations — is delivered within 24 hours of the inspection. You’ll be able to read it on any device, and share it easily with your agent or attorney.

Do I need a radon test in NJ?

NJ has elevated radon risk statewide, and radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer in the US. We strongly recommend testing in every NJ home — especially those with basements or lower levels.

What's an oil tank sweep and do I need one?

An oil tank sweep scans the ground for buried fuel tanks — common in NJ homes built before 1980. Finding one after closing can mean $10,000–$30,000 in remediation costs. It’s not required, but it’s strongly advised.

What if the inspection finds serious problems?

That’s exactly the point. Serious findings give you leverage to negotiate repairs, a price reduction, or closing credits — or to walk away entirely. Our job is to make sure you have the full picture before you’re committed.

Do you inspect condos and co-ops?

Yes. Condo inspections are different from single-family homes — we focus on everything within the unit’s walls plus limited common elements. We’re experienced in both the NJ and NYC co-op and condo markets.

How much does a home inspection cost?

Pricing depends on property size, type, and add-on services. Call 973-417-3160 for a quick quote — we’re transparent about pricing and there are no hidden fees.

The report I was given was completely inaccurate. They did show up and arrive on time but the guy doing it was very unprofessional. He took 6 hours to complete it and then his report was wrong!!!!! We had to hire a second company to do the inspection and they did it so professionally. Yes they are affordable and can do it fast but they are not legit or professional. It's inaccurate and they do not do it properly.

They are not dependable... The results given were wrong and I had to hire a second company to properly do the inspection. It really is sad to have to report this but do not hire them for any home inspection.

I've been through the home buying process before and never experienced an inspection like this one. Arty was meticulous, knowledgeable, and incredibly professional from start to finish. He walked me through every single finding in person before I even left the property so I knew exactly what I was dealing with before I even opened the report. The same-day report itself was outstanding — organized, thorough, and loaded with photos for every item. I used several findings to go back to the seller and ended up saving thousands before closing. If you're buying anywhere in Hudson County, Arty is the call you make before any other.

We interviewed three inspectors before choosing Arty and it was the best decision we made in the entire home buying process. His credentials alone set him apart — Licensed Master Inspector, dual licensed in NJ and NY, seven total certifications. But what really impressed us was how he communicated throughout the entire inspection. Nothing was glossed over, nothing was rushed, and by the time we left the property we had a complete picture of exactly what we were buying. Same-day report, outstanding photos, and clear explanations for every finding. Cannot recommend him highly enough.

We were first-time homebuyers and honestly terrified about missing something major on the property we were purchasing. A friend who used Arty a year ago told us he was the only inspector to call and she was absolutely right. He arrived early, spent close to three hours on the property, and documented everything with photos and detailed written explanations. He also completed a radon test and oil tank sweep — both came back clear which gave us enormous peace of mind. The report was in our inbox before dinner. We went into closing completely informed and confident. Arty is the real deal.

Arty saved us from what could have been a very costly mistake. During the inspection of a property we were under contract on he identified a significant issue with the electrical panel that the listing agent had no disclosure for. We were able to bring it back to the seller and negotiate a full repair before closing. Without Arty that would have been our problem the day we moved in. His report was detailed, photo-documented, and delivered the same day. He is thorough, honest, and genuinely looks out for his clients. We have already referred him to four people in our circle and will continue to do so.

Arty was referred to us by our real estate agent and we couldn't be more thankful. We were purchasing a colonial built in the 1940s and had real concerns about what we might find. Arty put us at ease from the moment he arrived. He spent nearly three hours going through every system, every room, and every accessible area of the property without rushing a single thing. The same-day report was detailed, photo-rich, and written in plain language that actually made sense. He caught a plumbing issue that the seller had clearly painted over and we were able to negotiate a credit at closing. Arty doesn't just inspect a house — he protects your investment before you own it.

We were under contract on a two-family home in Clifton and had a lot riding on the inspection. Arty showed up prepared, spent nearly three hours on the property, and documented everything with photos and clear written explanations. He caught several items we never would have noticed on our own and we used the report to negotiate a significant credit before closing. The same-day turnaround was critical given our contingency timeline. Arty is professional, thorough, and genuinely cares about protecting his clients. We've already recommended him to three people in our building.

We've used other inspectors before and there is simply no comparison. Arty is on a completely different level. He was methodical, unhurried, and left absolutely nothing unchecked. The attic, the crawl space, the electrical panel, every room — all of it documented with photos in a same-day report that was one of the most professional documents we've ever received. He also did an oil tank sweep which came back clear — huge relief on an older NJ property. If you're buying in Bergen County, Arty is the only call you need to make.

I can't say enough good things about Arty and Dwelling Inspections. From the moment I booked to the minute the report hit my inbox it was a seamless, professional experience. Arty was on time, incredibly thorough, and made sure I understood every finding before we left the property. As a first-time buyer I had a lot of questions and he answered every single one without making me feel rushed. The report was detailed, organized, and delivered the same evening. I went into closing knowing exactly what I was buying. Worth every penny and then some.

And when the inspection is done, the relationship isn’t. Call or text with questions after the fact — whether it’s been an hour or a month.
