The evaluation that we received from Central Real Estate Inspections, from James Wurtenberg, is phenomenal. I never imagined he could give us so much information, so clearly put. This information is invaluable as we knew there were many problems to fix in our new house but were uncertain of the details. Mr. Wurtenberg's report has given us a guideline for all of it, including all the hidden things we didn't know about. When I couldn't figure out how to download the report. Mr. Wurtenberg stopped by and helped us. Truly money well spent! Highly professional and recommended.

Jim was very kind and very thorough, and it's clear that he knows what he's doing - he told us things about our home that even the seller didn't know! Would definitely recommend, thanks again for everything!

I had a really good experience. Jim Wurtenberg was the inspector. We had a home and sewer inspection and radon testing. He showed up early om the day of the inspection and was there for about 3 hours. Jim went over the details of the inspection with me and made sure to answer any questions I had. At the end of the inspection he gave me a 3 ring binder to keep all of my paperwork in and to put the full report after he sent it (I got a full write up with pictures of everything the next day via email). He was very personable and made the inspection process easy. I would 100% call him again if I needed an inspection.

What are the limitations
on an inspection?

A real estate inspection or home inspection is not an appraisal or a check for compliance with building codes; it’s also not an evaluation of environmental hazards. See the NYS Standards of Practice for more information on the limitations of a home inspection.
