I bought a home on Long Island, and came across Vinny and Square One on Yelp. I am very glad I went with him (part of my decision process was to chose him because of his good Yelp review, and I am more than happy to confirm it is very deserving). Vinny was incredibly professional, courteous, prompt, and answered all of my questions. His pricing was perfectly reasonable and on par with the market. I had many people at my property when Vinny was doing the inspection (landscapers, plumbers, etc) and Vinny was very patient and had no issues doing the inspection while I was talking to others, and he stayed until the very end. He got me my full inspection report the next day. And he accepted Venmo payment (which was very convenient for me). And he had a question about ventilation in my attic, raised a concern to me, and was able to get on the phone with the builder and get everything completely squared away. Vinny won't just mindlessly tick the box during your inspection, if he sees something that doesn't make sense not only will he point it out but will take the time to explain to you what it is and why he observed it. You get a sense that he really cares and wants the best for his clients. I could not say anything bad about Vinny and would recommend wholeheartedly to anyone in need of an inspection. 10/10. read more

My overall experience with Vinny was good, however he left out a few critical problems with the house, that cost thousands to replace.

We had Square One come in. What they say and did educate us on was our central AC vents had some black on it. We were told by an HVAC company not to worry, that it's just condensation. Square One saved us headache by explaining that condensation will cause mold. Just the inspection eyes that you need with a home. Thank you Vinny and Square One!! read more

I contacted Vinny on a Friday afternoon and my inspection was completed Sunday afternoon. He completed my home inspection and I couldn't be happier. He showed on time and went right to work. It's my first home purchase and I didn't know what to look for, but Vinny was patient and took the time to explain everything that was right and wrong with the house. He's saved me so much money by checking things that I would never have thought to check. I'm so thankful to him. I received the termite inspection the same day, and the full report with pictures was in my email that same night. I couldn't ask for anything more. Vinny was the perfect inspector. I'm glad I chose him and I would recommend him for anyone that needs a home inspection. read more

I highly recommend Vinny to anyone that needs to get their home inspected, or anyone that needs a home inspection done for a potential sale. He was extremely professional, knowledgeable, and thorough. We met him at a potential home we wanted to purchase. As a potential buyer, I was always told that the homeowner is not present for the inspection, but that was not the case. The homeowner remained there, as well as their realtor for the home inspection. This may cause some inspectors to trend lightly or back off, but Vinny did not and I really appreciated that. It was clear the entire time that he was there on our behalf. He had a job to do and he made sure to do it thoroughly. Vinny walked through the entire house with us, pointing out numerous issues to be aware of. He turned on appliances to ensure they were in working order. He checked each and every window, air conditioner, electrical socket, heater, and door for functionality. He explained that houses constructed in the 1950s used lead, and since my wife and I are expecting - it may pay to have the water tested. He noted oxidation on pipping and explained some of the hazards that may occur if things are not taken care of. On the second floor of the house, there was a pull down attic. The pull down attic stairs dangerously came to the top of the landing, but it didn't stop him from getting up there and taking a look around. He found prior evidence of a fire, disconnected vents, and other structural defects. Vinny took pictures of everything and made sure to provide a detailed and documented report. Vinny's thorough inspection helped us uncover things that the realtor and home owner should have disclosed but didn't. He even followed up with us and answered all of our questions later that day. Truly a class act and we will absolutely be using him for our next home inspection. read more

We had Vinny come over for a home inspection recently and couldn't be more satisfied with his work. He was thorough and efficient, ready and willing to answer any questions we had, and very knowlegdeable about the many different issues we should look out for. He was also honest and straightforward - if there was a problem, he immediately told us what it was and what to do about it in detail. From the roof, to the windows, to the crawlspace and the gutter, no stone was left unturned. If you're looking for someone to give you peace of mind with the inspection of your new home (and at a reasonable rate), expect Vinny and Square One Home Inspections to offer just what you need. read more

I worked with Vinny on an inspection for a home I am trying to purchase. He was so nice and really knew exactly what he is doing. He was detail oriented, didn't rush and sent us the report the same day. And let me tell you, this report was very detailed and much appreciated. We felt we made a great decision by choosing him and we will definetely recommend him to all our friends/family. Thank You Vinny! read more

We recently needed a inspection done asap for a possible new home. Vinny was recommended to us so I gave him a call. He was about to meet with us the very next day and worked around our busy schedule. My wife and I was able to meet with Vinny and go through the full inspection with him. He sorted out any issues externally and internally with the home and also provided inspection for termites. Vinny has years of wisdom and is someone you can talk to if you need understanding on any home conditions or concerns. Vinnys report was very detailed and easy to understand. I am glad we choose him and would recommend him to anyone seeking home inspection service. read more

Vinny came through when I needed a home inspection done ASAP. Showed up on time as promised, and the price was right. He did a good job. Even pointed out an interesting potential issue that I never would have that about. Advised me to have the electric company fix it, which they did-free of charge. Would def recommend him for your home inspection. read more

We hired Vinny because we wanted more than just a home inspector that sat through courses and took some tests. Vinny has a background as an engineer, uses modern equipment, and was easy to deal with . Unlike many competitors, Vinny also understands that he's inspecting homes in 2019, and thus accepts cards and digital payments as opposed to only cash and checks, like numerous other inspectors we interviewed prior to working with Vinny. During the inspection, it felt like he was fair in his assessments, but at the same time advocating for us when required, in order to ensure we get a fair shake from the property seller. His report was adequately detailed and easy to understand. Highly recommended, and would certainly work with again. read more

Vinny our inspector, was very professional and knowledgeable.The inspection was thorough and provided us with much needed information. Vinny did a great job from start to finish. The ease of setting up the appointment, coordinating documentation, and the quality of reporting were all top notch. Vinny exceeded my expectations in the accuracy detailed reporting. Thank you for saving me a ton of money! read more

All I can say is if he's good enough to inspect Jon Bon Jovi's home then he's good enough to inspect my future home. What can I say, he was even better than expected. He checked and inspected everything that was nailed down as well as not nailed down. Very knowledgeable. Received the full inspection the next day and it was as detailed as you can want with pictures and comments. Overall very happy with Vinny's service. Highly recommend. read more

This company is amazing. Vincent answered the phone on a Saturday afternoon and booked an inspection with me for that Monday at 10am. He gave me a brief explanation of what he would be looking for while conducting the inspection and even had the report sent to me in full by the late afternoon of the same day! He called me when he arrived and the minute he finished; brushed up on some issues that he seemed concerned about the most. He answered all of my questions without any hesitation. Would definitely use again and definitely refer to friends/family read more

I normally just use Yelp and not give reviews but Square One home inspectors exceeded my expectations. I decided to go with this company since it had a good amount of positive google and yelp reviews. Best decision in the home buying process so far. We are first time home buyers and Vinny did an amazing job walking us through the inspection of our soon to be new house. He is very detailed and took the time to explain each issue and potential fixes. I am so happy with the experience that I decided to give him both a google and yelp review to help other newbies decide who to hire! read more

Vinny was fantastic, He was extremely responsive and got us our report immediately. I look forward to using Vinny again for my next project, and couldn't recommend him more for yours! read more

Vinny was an absolute pro. You can tell by the minute you speak to him that he has a wealth of experience. Before going with Vinny, I spoke to at least 6 or 7 other inspectors, and Vinny was the easy choice. He had fair prices, and his report was comprehensive. When I met him the day of the inspection, he arrived several minutes early, and got a head start looking at the outside of the property. He was thorough as he moved room to room and was able to explain everything clearly, and was accommodating to answer any questions after the inspection was done. Don't be a dumb dumb. Go with Vinny. He's the best. read more

Vinny did a thorough job for the buyers when I sold my house, I used him for my own home purchase. Practical, reliable and recommended.

Vinny was absolutely fabulous! He responded within minutes when I requested a quote and provided a very fair estimate. He showed up on time and got everything done in about two hours. He even let my fiancé talk his ear off about real estate without looking annoyed! Lol He sent the report over days before he said it would be ready and on a holiday nonetheless! Very professional and personable! We'll definitely use him again in the future! read more

I hired Vinny after needing an inspector sooner than expected. From start to finish he did an excellent job. Vinny was always accessible and took his time to explain the process to my fiancé and I as we are first time home buyers. Through our phone conversations alone, we knew we made the right decision. During the inspection he showed us some things to settle prior to entering contract and explained many details about the home that we would have overlooked. Vinnys expertise helped us ensure we were making a good decision on our home purchase. The detailed report sent the following day had pictures and recommendations to negotiate before entering contract. Also was able to see some of the thermo tech he used to check the radiant heat as well as basement for any moisture. I would recommend Vinny if you appreciate someone who is patient, thorough and is willing to explain things that first time home buyers may not be acclimated with. read more

Vinny was a pleasure to work with. He did a thorough inspection of the home I am purchasing and created a detailed report that helped me advocate for the changes I needed before closing. He called to review the report over the phone and gave me advice I needed as a first time home buyer, regarding the care of the home's roof. He was prompt, his prices are very reasonable, and he is available for future questions if necessary. read more

Square one is just amazing. Vinny came out to do our inspection the day after we called and had the report to us within hours! He was professional, knowledgeable and reliable. He allowed us to follow him around during the inspection and showed us what was wrong and then made recommendations based on his findings. All of this, and he was very reasonably priced. If I ever needed another inspection again I would call Vinny without hesitation. read more

I could not have asked for a better experience than my experience with Vinny of Square One! Right off the bat, Vinny was professional, accessible, and prompt. This was our first home inspection for a hopeful purchase of our first home and my wife and I felt extremely comfortable with Vinny. He was quick to reply via text, phone, and email, and extremely accommodating with schedule and readily available for our inspection within the same day. Vinny really treated us like friends and even like family. Took his time to be thorough during the inspection and explained as he went along with helpful tips, suggestions, and shared his personal experience which was very helpful. Vinny was professional with ourselves, the seller's broker, and the sellers and was courteous in their home (soon to be ours i hope!). He covered his shoes to avoid tracking mud/dirt/rain. The report was received as promised the very next evening (less than 24 hours) and it is concise, accurate, detailed, and easy to read, follow and understand. I would recommend Vinny to anyone looking for a reliable and efficient home inspector. And he is a licensed engineer taboot, which is always good to have on speed dial! thank you Vinny! read more
