Complete Home Inspection, Inc

I’m writing this post because I’m surprised to see that someone would write such a negative review about Craig Lynch, from Complete Home Inspections, simply because it doesn’t sound like his work ethics at all.
I’m a Civil Engineer with over 20 years of experience in Construction Inspections for NY and NJ State Agencies. I met Craig Lynch while taking Home Inspector classes approximately 5 years ago, he was the Instructor. As part of the program, I also participated in over a dozen home inspections with Craig and honestly I was always impressed with his level of knowledge, attention to details, determination to do the job right and his professionalism. No matter the size of the property he would last no less than 4 hours checking every single crawl space, attic, roof, appliances, windows, electrical outlets, etc.
This is why I’m shocked to see someone writing such negative things about Craig, it just doesn’t make any sense that he would do such a poor job. On the other hand everyone is entitled to their opinion and I respect that very much.
I can honestly say that I strongly believe that Craig is one of the most knowledgeable and thorough home inspector in the state and personally would recommend him for home inspections anytime.

HORRIBLE! BEWARE! If you’re a purchaser, and you know nothing about home inspections, you’d think this guy was thorough — but he’s not thorough at all. We recently had a place inspected by him and he skipped analyzing the heating system, and the main heating system in the building, and instead filled the report with small things that weren’t even accurate. The follow-​up to the inspection corrected almost 50% of the remarks he made in his report, as they were just not correct!
AVOID this guy at all costs! He won’t guarantee his work, and then you’re screwed if he misses something big and you trust his report!

Craig was very helpful and thorough. He explained everything in details. He spent as much time as needed to inspect and the house and explain his findings as well as ways to fix the needed areas. The report he produced was very thorough as well. I would definitely recommend Craig to anyone who is looking for a home inspector. You will not be disappointed.

We are purchasing a single family home for the first time and when asking for recommendations from family and friends, most would answer simply that the inspector was «good» or «fine». But when one friend answered «the inspector I worked with was great! Be prepared to be at the inspection for at least 4 hours and bring a notebook with you» we decided that we definitely want to work with this guy. Craig was professional and very thorough: he carefully checked every inch of the house, all outlets, the roof, crawl spaces, chimney, etc. He told us exactly how to maintain different parts of the house, what problems could arise, and how to prevent them. We shadowed Craig and jot down everything he told us to make a sort of a manual for maintaining our future home.
He had a positive energy and seemed to enjoy and take pride in his work. Both my agent and the seller’s agent commented that they have not worked with someone so thorough as Craig and that it was the longest inspection they’ve been at! In our case that was a great thing and I think it would be especially for any buyer. He knew that we were pressed for time to get things moving but I was surprised he had it ready for us the next day. The report was super thorough and included pictures of problem areas for clarity.
We would highly recommend Craig for any future home buyers.

Craig was recommended to us through colleagues, and we couldn’t be happier with the service he provided. As first-​time homebuyers, the home inspection was something that was extremely important to us – and Craig certainly went above and beyond our expectations. Like others have noted, he was with us for about 3 hours and inspected many areas that were not necessarily required. In addition to pointing out areas for improvement, Craig also provided education on how serious the problem was and what could be done to remedy the situation.
Less than 24 h after the inspection, we received a detailed report, including photos, of Craig’s findings. To say he is thorough is an understatment! It is also worth noting that the home we are purchasing underwent another home inspection a few months prior, and Craig was able to identify many areas that the first inspector did not.
Without reservation, we would absolutely recommend Craig and Complete Home Inspection!

We are first time homebuyers and were referred to Craig by a friend. Craig inspects many areas of the home that inspectors are generally not required to check. Aside from being very friendly, he taught me a lot as I walked with him through the inspection, things that will help me maintain my home in the future.
After the inspection, Craig provided a very thorough report that included everything we whey over in detail and in a very timely manner.
I would definitely recommend Craig to anyone that is buying a property.

As first time homebuyers, we were given a list of recommendations of home inspectors by our realtor. One of these recs was Craig at Complete Home Inspection. I called every recommendation and got quotes from them all; Craig was by far the most reasonably priced (and also the friendliest to talk to). I also found out that he teaches a course on home inspection at a local school (which is great for us, I figured he could teach us a thing or two about our future home!)
After reading the glowing reviews for this company on Unilocal,we chose Craig. I would say this was maybe one of the best decisions in our entire home buying process! Craig was on time, an absolute pleasure to work with, and most of all: extremely thorough; he literally gets into every possible space of the home, no matter how challenging.
He also explained everything he was checking and why. This was truly invaluable as my husband and I know nothing about owning a home; Craig answered all of our questions with never ending patience and even gave us some extremely valuable home ownership upkeep tips along the way. He also did a full termite check and instant radon test while inspecting the house.
I can’t emphasize enough how excellent of a job Craig did on inspecting our home and how great he was to work with-​you can tell that he loves what he does and really cares that you feel comfortable, knowledgable and safe moving forward with your home.
If you are like me and reading these reviews before making a decision, every one of these reviews is accurate; go with Craig from Complete Home Inspection. You won’t be disappointed.

Craig was phenomenal. He is incredibly thorough and also helped instruct me on what to do in the future. He was able to do the inspection on a Sunday afternoon, and suffered some finger-​snapping «guillotine windows» that took blood. This was downstairs, and he gamely continued the inspection in spite of it. He also did the chimney and radon at no additional cost. I would definitely recommend Craig again!

We were referred to Craig by another inspector who did not have the capacity to take our case (buying a condo). Craig was fantastic. Very kind and very professional. He spent over 2 hours doing the inspection and covered areas that are not normally required (for example, looking inside the jacuzzi tub, looking inside the fireplace) for no extra charge. Definitely go through the inspection alongside him because he will also give you a lot of tips and pointers about future maintenance as he goes through.
He did a great job at a reasonable price. Would recommend him to anybody for home inspection.

As first time homebuyers, we had no clue what to look for when inspecting a home, luckily we found Craig. He was very through on the inspection of our new home. Not only did he point out the problems, he also taught us easy fixes and how to address issues if it ever arises in the future. I almost felt like I was there for a «how to own a house» course but then again since he teaches home inspection on the side, I’m not surprised but ecstatic to get one of his lessons. He was quick on turning around our report as the sellers were pushing closing. We pretty much got the report in the next few days and the asbestos one later that week since it takes time to get the results .
Craig is a very nice guy and great to work with. He charges a reasonable rate and was easy to get in touch with. He responds back quickly to emails and our phone calls which is a plus for me since I was dealing with a million phone calls before the actual closing process.
I highly recommend Craig to anyone looking for a home inspector.

My husband and I were impressed with how knowledgeable and thorough Craig was during our home inspection. He was so friendly and went above and beyond explaining everything. Also, he was able to put together and extremely detailed report for us. We would definitely recommend him to anyone we know looking for a top — notch home inspector.

We just had a great home inspection experience with Craig Lynch. We are first time home-​buyers of a condo in Hoboken.
We originally called another home inspector, Chris Burrows, after seeing his positive Unilocal review. Chris was very thorough on the phone but did not have availability– luckily he referred us to Craig, who was able to see us for an inspection over the weekend on short notice.
Craig also teaches home inspection courses in addition to being an inspector, and he clearly knew his stuff. He had great attention to detail and really took the time to test every thing (beyond what is required of a home inspector). He answered all our questions so we are now much better acquainted with our future home, and he offered tips on efficiency, etc. throughout the inspection. The best part is he was able to detect that the jacuzzi was leaking by looking into the pipes, etc. through a hidden panel. This was not something he was required to do, so we really appreciate that he did as it will save us money and trouble down the line.
We expect to receive our report tomorrow (quick turnaround). The Sellers were also very impressed with Craig, we have already referred them to him. Very friendly and knowledgable, goes the extra mile. Thanks Craig, and thanks Chris for recommending him!
