Home Inspection Services in New Jersey
Professional Home Inspector in New Jersey
Eagle Eye Inspections, LLC provides comprehensive residential and commercial property inspections throughout Northern New Jersey. Our goal is to give buyers, sellers, homeowners, and investors a clear understanding of the visible condition of a property so they can make informed decisions.
Your inspection is performed by Igor Gladkov, a New Jersey-licensed home inspector and Certified Master Inspector® with a master’s degree in mechanical engineering and more than a decade of construction-management experience. This combination of technical education, construction knowledge, and inspection experience provides a practical approach to evaluating complex building systems.
We carefully examine visible and readily accessible systems and components, explain significant findings at the property, and provide a detailed digital report with photographs and practical recommendations.
Comprehensive New Jersey Home Inspections
A professional home inspection can identify visible defects, safety concerns, deferred maintenance, and systems that may require repair or specialist evaluation. The inspection is visual and non-invasive and covers components that are safely and readily accessible at the time of the appointment.
- Roof coverings, flashing, drainage, and accessible roof components
- Exterior walls, siding, trim, windows, doors, decks, porches, and walkways
- Foundation, basement, crawlspace, and visible structural components
- Heating, cooling, and ventilation systems
- Electrical service, panels, accessible wiring, receptacles, and fixtures
- Plumbing supply, drainage, fixtures, and water-heating equipment
- Attic insulation, ventilation, framing, and visible moisture conditions
- Interior walls, ceilings, floors, stairs, railings, doors, and windows
- Kitchen appliances and other permanently installed components within the inspection scope
- Visible evidence of water intrusion and suspected microbial growth
- General safety concerns observed during the inspection
- Thermal imaging and moisture-meter evaluation when appropriate
The report is typically delivered on the same day or within 24 hours, depending on the size and complexity of the property. Clients are encouraged to attend the inspection, ask questions, and review important findings with the inspector.
Pre-Listing Home Inspections
A pre-listing inspection helps sellers identify visible concerns before marketing the property. Knowing about deficiencies in advance provides more time to consider repairs, obtain estimates, prepare disclosures, and discuss an appropriate selling strategy with real estate and legal professionals.
New Construction Inspections
New homes can have incomplete work, installation defects, and damaged components. We offer foundation, pre-drywall, final, and 11-month warranty inspections to document visible concerns at important stages of construction.
Home Re-Inspections
A re-inspection provides an independent visual follow-up after repairs have been completed. We evaluate readily accessible items included in the agreed scope and document whether reported conditions appear to have been addressed.
Visual Mold Inspections
Our visual mold inspection evaluates accessible areas for suspected microbial growth, water intrusion, excessive moisture, and conditions that may support mold growth. Moisture-meter readings and thermal imaging may be used when appropriate. Laboratory sampling is not included.
Radon Testing
Radon is an invisible, odorless radioactive gas, and testing is the only way to determine its concentration inside a home. Testing is performed by a New Jersey-certified radon measurement technician, #MET13753, using approved procedures and equipment.
WDO and Termite Inspections
A WDO inspection evaluates visible and accessible areas for evidence of termites and other wood-destroying organisms, related damage, and conditions that may increase infestation risk. Findings are clearly documented so clients can determine whether additional evaluation or treatment is appropriate.
Commercial Property Inspections
We provide commercial property inspections for buyers, owners, investors, and tenants. The scope is tailored to the property and may include office buildings, retail spaces, warehouses, restaurants, mixed-use buildings, and other light commercial properties.
Underground Oil Tank Sweeps
Our non-invasive oil tank sweep combines a visual evaluation with professional magnetic detection equipment to search accessible areas for evidence of a possible buried metallic heating oil tank or related components.
Additional Inspection Services
- Thermal imaging when appropriate
- Moisture-meter evaluation
- Carbon monoxide and combustible-gas scanning
- Detached garage and accessory-structure inspections
- Sewer-scope inspections coordinated with an independent third-party provider
- Inspection packages combining multiple services
Available services depend on the property and selected inspection package. Tell us about the building, your concerns, and any transaction deadlines so we can recommend an appropriate inspection scope.

HomeGauge’s Create Request List™ allows clients and real estate professionals to select report findings and organize requested repairs, replacements, or financial considerations. This tool can make preparing a repair-request attachment faster and easier.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a home inspection take?
The time required depends on the property’s size, age, condition, number of systems, and selected services. Many inspections require several hours, while larger or more complex properties may take longer.
Should the buyer attend the inspection?
Attendance is encouraged whenever possible. It provides an opportunity to observe important conditions, ask questions, and learn about the home’s systems and maintenance needs.
Does a home inspection guarantee that no defects exist?
No. A home inspection is a visual and non-invasive evaluation of readily accessible conditions at the time of the appointment. Concealed defects and future failures cannot be predicted or guaranteed.
Do you inspect condominiums and townhouses?
Yes. Condominium inspections generally focus on accessible components within the unit, while townhouse inspections may include additional exterior and building systems depending on ownership responsibilities and the agreed scope.
Can additional services be added to the home inspection?
Yes. Depending on the property, you may add radon testing, a WDO inspection, an underground oil tank sweep, detached structures, thermal imaging, carbon monoxide and gas scanning, or third-party sewer scoping.
