Your Albany Home Inspectors

Welcome to Blue Jay Inspections LLC. We are NYS licensed home inspectors who have been inspecting Albany for many years. I have spent my entire life inspecting homes, building and repairing them, and helping clients just like you.

My experiences is extensive. So extensive that I teach other home inspectors the trade. As a NYS Certified Home Inspector Instructor at Manfred RELC, I help bring the trade to a higher level by teaching both new and seasoned home inspectors here in Albany.

In addition to this, I am very hands-on. I grew up in the trades in the family business. I learned from an early age that hard work and honesty go a long way – and so does knowing your craft. I bring this with me on each and every home inspection.

Albany Home Inspector Reviews

“If you are looking for a professional, knowledgeable, and thorough inspector..you’ve found him. In short, Jay was AWESOME. We would highly recommend him for any of your home inspection needs. Keep reading for a first hand account.
Jay was suggested to us by another industry professional, and how lucky we were to get the recommendation. We are first time home buyers who wanted to get an inspection of the septic system on a foreclosed, bank owned property. When I first spoke to Jay, I immediately knew I was talking to a professional that took pride not only in his own work, but also in the industry. He was well-educated and wasn’t trying to sell himself or his business. Jay is not only a septic inspector but also a home inspector with multiple certifications. But most importantly, he was fair and honest. During the conversation, he told me that the camera he normally uses to look inside the pipes was not working and that it would not be fixed by the time we needed to have our inspections completed, He explained to me other ways of testing that would ensure all of aspects of the system were functioning properly. When our conversation ended, I told my husband we found the right guy for the job.
There were some bumps in the road as far as scheduling the date and time for the inspection, but they were OUR fault not his. Jay was extremely accommodating, patient, and reassured us that every and anything we needed inspection wise he ensured would done before our deadline. Not only did we make our deadline but we had a few days to spare!
Inspection time: Jay arrived early on what felt like the hottest and most humid day this summer, ready to work. Jay encouraged us to follow him around as he did the inspection, We asked a million and one questions and he answered all of them in detail.
Jay excavated the tank lid, manually inspected the tank and both ballasts, and stress tested our leach field. He excavated a portion of the main outflow pipe and performed a visual inspection. He recognized that the pipe had “settled and proceeded to tell us what kind of impact that could have for us down the road. Jay determined the location of our distribution box, excavated and inspected it, Additionally, he gave us detailed information regarding the current condition and how to properly perform maintenance in the future.
For the entire 3 1/2 hours, he was thorough, informative, knowledgeable and personable. In short, he was AWESOME and we would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a job done right.”

Albany Home Inspector Review

“Jay did an exceptionally thorough job with their inspection. They started by arriving at the property early and walking around, noting issues outside, which we waited for the realtor to open the building. They let me follow them around and pointed out various areas of concern and also areas that were well done. They took pictures of everything (literally they must have taken 250 pictures). I am surprised by how much these two guys know – they answered every question I asked. Several times they noticed something and then predicted what would happen when we turned the item on, and it happened exactly as they said.
Just a few examples of the thoroughness of their inspection: He noticed an access panel to get into the attic crawl space and he literally crawled through the entire attic for 20 minutes so he could document the condition of the roof from underneath. Jay literally dug out two parts of the septic system to diagnose a potential problem that we could have down the road. Both of these guys went well beyond what I would have normally expected from an inspector.
The inspection lasted about 3 hours. Honestly, the real estate agents were getting a little bothered that they were taking so long, but I was more than happy to let them take their time. They took every minute of that time to look at every part of the property and explain everything to me that they noticed might potentially be a problem.
Once they were finished, I was told that I would get a complete report of the inspection within a day or so. Before the end of the afternoon I had the inspection report in my email and the next morning I received the septic system report. Both were well documented (the home inspection itself had 59 pages). Both were filled with pictures and diagrams along with descriptions of what each of them noticed.
I have to say again – what an outstanding job! Old fashioned customer service along with expertise – not easy to find both in one package.”
