CHB did a home inspection recently. John and his team were on time, thorough and professional. He took a few minutes to discuss and clarify some issues of concern before leaving. The formal report was clear, sent same day. read more

Fantastic company. My inspection went great. The inspector was quick to find a day to come. I was able to attend the last half of the inspection and go over any suggestion and maintenance. Overall, it was really a smooth process. Radon canisters where put in to finish the day of the inspection which was wonderful. My only complaint was that the man I first spoke to who made me feel at ease and led me to choose them as my inspection company was not the person who came to my inspection. I thought I was calling an individual but I suppose he was the owner. Best part is that I got my inspection report within 3/4 hours of it taking place. read more

CHB inspections did a fantastic job and was extremely thorough and informative. I was very pleased to hear that their Covid precautions were in line with mine. In addition to that, the folks at CHB inspections are very easy to work with, prompt, and most importantly thorough. I highly recommend them. read more

What an absolutely rude, pompous and overly sensitive Individual Matt is. We didn't even get to the inspection because he quit rather than clarify. He literally got offended at the truth and then accused me of something that I never even said which I have email proof of. He must've read into my message with his negativity goggles on. This is our first time buying a home and instead of assuring us he ignored and dismissed us. He also said he was very experienced inspecting for the type of home loan we had, yet he a hard time nailing down exactly what would be needed for the inspection even when I supplied it to him. He also doesn't have any warranty as part of his service which was another red flag as was his horrible lack of communication. Ultimately the only thing I can assume is that because the house we wanted to purchase was small and under $100,000.00, maybe it just wasn't important enough to him. Maybe he thought he was doing us a favor or something, I don't know. What I do know is that my first and last impression of him isn't good.... not good at all... The owner's response is trying to distract from his poor customer service. PRICE WASN'T THE ISSUE! I ended up choosing an inspector that cost $200.00 more than what Matt was charging and it was totally worth it. LACK OF TRUST, COMMUNICATION, AND EXPERIENCE WERE THE ISSUES!.... Oh yeah and the quitting on short notice when we were in a time crunch didn't help either (almost forgot that). read more

I've worked with Matt Costa from CHB inspections three times now (two residences and one commercial property). He has been easy to reach, punctual, professional and thorough every time. He takes his time to do a comprehensive inspection, addresses issues that I wouldn't have known about, gives advice and is always happy to answer any questions I might have. He has a ton of knowledge and is happy to talk about issues that are outside the scope of his inspection. He is a very nice guy and I plan to work with CHB inspections anytime I need a building inspected. read more

Matt Costa IS America. Hard worker. Timely. Executes honesty. Very personable (and VERY easy on the eyes!). He answers questions. He doesn't mind answering the questions a person asks that aren't even related to the inspection - because of his knowledge as a contractor. This is my 3rd home so not my first rodeo to an inspection. I was also a self-employed mortgage broker and had to recommend first time home buyers with inspectors in NY and California. Not an easy thing to do - lots of shady inspectors out there. This inspection of my future home was tough because he couldn't inspect the roof (lightly snow covered), But, he said "it appears to be good, from would I could see." He also pointed out possible problems with the foundation - which had it's curious past. read more

My realtor recommended that I use CHB Inspections for my recent real estate purchase in Sullivan County (Livingston Manor). To be candid: I was hesitant to use the recommendation as I know realtors and inspectors sometimes have a "one hand washes the other" relationship. My concerns were, however, utterly misplaced and CHB inspections was an excellent choice. I've bought many homes and worked with many inspection services and can say, without hesitation, that CHB was the "best of the best" and has set a new standard for me as to what home buyers deserve and should demand from an inspection service. From scheduling through the preparation of the final report, everything was top notch with CHB. Their online scheduling and payment portal was easy to use. Their communication was prompt and responsive. The inspection was thorough and performed by an experienced and skilled professional who not only alerted me to potential "problem areas" with the home I was buying but also took the time to educate me as to maintenance and upkeep considerations I should keep in mind once I owned the property. The final report, which was emailed to me in PDF format later in the afternoon the SAME DAY as the inspection was performed, contained detailed summaries and high resolution photographs. From first contact through delivery of the final report, CHB was outstanding and really proved themselves to be a fantastic choice. I would highly recommend CHB Inspections to anyone who needs a home inspection in the Sullivan County or surrounding area. This is a business where quality work and excellent customer service are clearly a priority. Five stars. read more

All around professional and responsive service from CHB Inspections. Their online booking portal was a breeze and we easily got a quote. They executed a timely and thorough house inspection with us and answered all our questions. Their report was easy to read and included maintenance suggestions as well as the suggested repairs. Their customer service was quick to respond and their emails kept us up to date every step of the way. They had clear covid protocols that kept us feeling safe and informed. Very highly recommend! read more

CHB was recommended to me from a few local residents in the Catskills area. Matt returned all of my calls and explained the process of a home inspection. He is both punctual and professional. I was surprised how quickly I received my inspection report and I found it to be very thorough and transparent. I'm not that knowledgeable when it comes to mechanics and he helps make it very easy to understand and was very patient with my questions. Like many of the other Smallwood residents, I too , highly recommend Matt for your next home inspection read more

Matt was great, informative, on time, very thorough and gave me a lot of advice on the day or the inspection and also in follow up calls. Its a lot to take in when its a first time inspection so knowing you can call back with questions is always so good to know. Matt also has a mold certificate, he was able to detect early sign son mold in the roof that needed attention. I would highly recommend. read more

I absolutely recommend Matt and CHB Inspections. Not only did he go out of his way to put the radon test in two days before the inspection so it would be ready to send to the lab when he did the inspection, he had the inspection report to me 5 hours after he completed the inspection. The inspection report was very detailed and even called out areas where I could make adjustments for safety reasons. Matt was a wonderful person to work with. read more

Specialties
Welcome to CHB Inspections. My name is Matt Costa, owner and lead inspector here at CHB. We perform many different types of inspections, from your typical single family home, vacation home, and investment properties, to multi-family structures. Every inch of each and every property that can be safely accessed is inspected including all structural, electrical, air conditioning, heating, and plumbing. We will inform the client of every item that is observed to be deficient in any way. You are encouraged to accompany us on your inspection as this a great opportunity for you to be educated on the inner workings of your future home or investment.
History
Established in 2014.
As a contractor with over 30 years experience in all fields of construction, it was an easy transition to passing on my knowledge of homes to potential home buyers.
Meet the Business Owner: Matt C.
As a life long area resident living here with my family, I have a vested interest in making sure our full time residents and or vacation home owners are living in safe and efficient homes. One of those ways is to have a professional home inspection. A Home Inspector, such as myself does not obtain a working knowledge of major components in a home by taking a few courses, buying a franchise, or reading a few books. It comes from real life experience in conjunction with formal schooling by the lead instructor at the country's largest home inspector training school, American Home Inspection Training Institute. Neither warranties, nor insurance policies can take the place of the knowledge and experience gained from my 30 plus years' experience in and around all phases of building construction and the Real Estate industry, from digging and pouring foundations, building a complete home, to owning and operating a home renovation company. Hands-on experience -we have it, YOU benefit from it!

Matt is professional, punctual and very knowledgable. He responded very quickly to our initial request for an inspection and in every other aspect of the process was friendly, responsive and detailed in his work. He alleviated some of the anxieties which go along with home buying by giving clear and understandable information about what was working well with the house and what needed repairs or maintenance. During the inspection he answered any questions we had and then provided a clear report within 24 hours. He even offered tips and suggestions for maintaining the house and has been open to responding to questions after the inspection. In addition to all this he's a fun and friendly guy. We highly recommend Matt. read more

Matt was a straight shooter and provided a thorough inspection for a distressed property we are looking at buying and renovating. He arrived early to complete the outside inspection before we had to be there and get him access to the inside for inspection. He answered any questions we had along the way and told us what needs immediate attention, what we should be concerned about, and what is in the clear, which helped us assess whether this would be a good home to invest in. The report was completed and sent to us the same day, along with a list of recommended service providers for the work we will need to have done. All in all, a great experience. read more

Matt and his team were amazing. Getting a quote and scheduling inspection was a breeze with them. Very straight forward and to the point. They got there on time and told us to arrive little later to social distance. He answered all our questions, including some non inspection questions we had about the area. Gave us lots of helpful tips and recommendations. He had the report ready fully detailed with pictures that same night. Very pleasant and professional people. Buying a new home can be challenging as it is. Having the right people on your team makes a difference. I highly recommend CHB Inspections for your home inspection. read more

Matt Costa just did the second inspection he's done for me. I reached out to him about this one because he was so great for the first one. He was quick to be in touch and perform the inspection. He's thorough, knows what he's doing and communicates about the property in a way that makes you feel like you have a great sense of what you're buying and can feel confident about your decision. And you'll receive the inspection report very quickly. This past time he was assisted by his son who was wonderful as well. They're a great team and I'll definitely use them for my future purchases in the area! I highly recommend Matt and CBH! read more

I am a construction professional with a team of my own building inspectors. Sufficed to day, my expectations are extremely high when dealing with other service providers within the industry that I make my own living. CHB did not disappoint. Clean, thorough, professional, timely and safety conscious - I couldn't have asked for a better experience during my home inspection. They caught every small detail and made reasonable and professional recommendations based on their observations. My report was thorough and clear and I received it electronically the SAME DAY my inspection was performed. These guys are simply the best! read more

Mr. Costa was very accommodating and set up the appointment quickly. He was very friendly and was extremely thorough and went into every detail, checking every single thing. He answered all our questions very patiently and made us aware of things that we would never have known about at all. We received the report the next day and every single thing was detailed so we know all we have to about the house. He even answered a question that we sent him online after the inspection. We now feel very safe regarding the purchase of the home that he inspected. We highly recommend Mr. Matt Costa. Mr. Messinger read more

I would highly recommend Matt.. he responded back quickly when I initially reached out to him, and we made an appointment that fit perfectly in our schedule. He's very professional, seasoned, and knowledgeable. He arrived at the house early with our realtor, and brought me around, showing me not only various attributes about the house, but pointers and tips as well. After the inspection, he had a report to me in a very timely manner. He's even going to come back and give me a 'Home 101' tutorial. On top of his professionalism and timeliness, he's a super-friendly and fun guy to be around. read more

Matt was great. The entire process from the initial call to receiving the reports went off without a hitch, and we appreciated that he always responded to our calls promptly and kept to the schedule. We found the services and pricing to be fair and descriptions easy to understand. Matt encouraged us to be present for the inspection and did a good job of explaining his findings. He seems to really enjoy his work, and we felt very confident in the information we got from our report. I'd recommend him to anyone needing a home inspection. Thanks, Matt! read more

We recently worked with Matt on an inspection in West Hurley. We found Matt incredibly easy to work with - he was thorough and answered all of our questions in good detail. Matt provided a balanced and unbiased view on how to tackle specific issues with the house, even if they were minor and normally be glossed over by other inspectors. His reports were equally thorough, and gave us assurances that we had vetted everything necessary for us to move forward with the purchase. I appreciated his candor and knowledge, both critical to the process. read more

Matt from CHB Inspection was a pleasure to work with. He was prompt and courteous while making the arrangements for our inspection, as well as on time for our appointment. He was thorough during his inspection and was able to articulate his findings to us in a direct and understandable way. The property is a "handyman special" and Matt was able to breakdown the issues for us, delineating the more cosmetic issues from the more essential structural issues. I highly recommend CHB Inspections, and will use Matt again if the need arises. read more

He reviewed the main points of the findings with us and sent us a detailed report within a few hours. I would recommend the company to anyone and everyone! Thank you Matt!! read more

We were given Matt's name by our realtor and it was a wonderful recommendation. Matt was friendly, knowledgeable, and professional. Setting up a time was easy. He even made himself available on a Sunday, which was huge for us as we were traveling upstate from Queens. His inspection was obviously thorough and not rushed, and the report he delivered promptly the same evening was detailed and very helpful in the negotiation process. We couldn't recommend Matt and CHB enough! read more

Matt did a wonderful job of inspecting a home that I'm looking to purchase ahead of the contract-signing process. Thorough, professional, and very friendly. Would highly recommend Matt's services to anyone in need of a home inspection -- for a first-time homebuyer, it's not the most simple process but Matt made sure I was clear and comfortable with all of his findings and made sure I understood the results, even staying on-site afterwards to answer every question I had. read more
