Longs GCS Corporation Home Inspections

I had a great experience working with Chris and his team. Chris was prompt, courteous, and gave a very comprehensive inspection report on my new home. In addition, because I am moving from another state, and was not able to attend the inspection, Chris offered to do a zoom call with me, which I thought was great customer service. I would highly recommend Long GCS Corporate Home Inspections.

Chris did a thorough inspection of the electrical system, HVAC, crawl space, firewalls, appliances and sump pump. I feel relieved that everything was checked and I know what I have to take care of going forward.

Very much satisfied with the level of professionalism that Chris demonstrated. Very thorough inspection with comprehensive recommendation with every detail really helped me to understand the condition of the house what action I should take to improve the house.

Chris went above and beyond for us on a Sunday to inspect our dream home (despite having his own personal affairs to attend to). We had our one year old in tow, and he very carefully pointed out not just general notes for the house but very specific things we should note having a young toddler - sharp edges, fire hazards, etc. He was also so entertaining and the entire experience felt very educational as well. Thank you Chris for being a part of our home buying journey!

If you are looking for an incredibly trusted, knowledgeable, personable and caring home inspector for your next home - look no further than Chris. Always available for all your questions & concerns, Chris makes you feel incredibly secure in your decision, whether that means proceeding with purchase or walking away from a deal. He treats his clients like true family - having their best interest in mind, always. As he says “you have me as long as you have this house”. He is like having a home guru in your back pocket! I couldn’t recommend Chris and his team enough! He’s my go-to for myself, my clients, friends and family!

Chris was fantastic- professional, friendly, extremely thorough. You can tell he has years of trusted experience and knowledge. He was very kind and patient as we walked through and had questions and then provided a comprehensive guide of what should be done, when and how! An incredible resource to have and I would definitely reccomend!

Where do I even begin - Chris did multiple inspections for us before we found “the one” and I can wholeheartedly say I wouldn’t trust anyone else. He goes above and beyond to make sure you have all the info needed to make a smart decision. He even went out of his way to do an inspection for us during a time that he was supposed to be off with family, which ended up being the house we’re buying! Buying a house can be scary, intimidating, and overwhelming, but with Chris, we felt more prepared, educated, and ready for the next chapter! Thank you, Chris! See you at the BBQ

Chris was not only thorough in his inspection, he was incredibly communicative throughout the process with by myself and the broker. He helped us prioritize a list of remedies and even went a step further in helping understand costs and process for some of the key items. He gave us as much time as we needed to understand the highly techinal findings to the point that I understand each of the issues as a laymen. I see why Chris has come as highly recommended as he has!

Chris Long did an amazing job inpecting my new home. He was very thorough and provided valuable information regarding the maintenance of my home. His report was very comprehensive. I would recommend him to anyone who is looking to get their home inspected.

Chris was outstanding. Great thorough review and inspection. Super detailed assessments. Very practical approach. Explains what things are and potential solutions. Great partner. Thank you Chris!

Chris is the absolute best and I truly would not buy a home without hiring him to inspect it first. Believe me, I learned the hard way with our first home! Chris is incredibly thorough, knowledgeable, trustworthy and professional. He inspected our current home (and did a wonderful job) and now we are moving again. This spring I walked away from a problematic home that he took issue with and I’m so grateful! Fast forward a bit and I’ve found a home he feels good about, which makes me comfortable to proceed with the purchase. Again, I wouldn’t buy a home without him!

Chris has a great knowledge off all aspects of construction and that yields to very detailed truthful report. He was able to uncover the truth about the house and gave me clear understanding of approximate costs for repairs.

Chris did an inspection on the home we were buying. This was my 3rd experience with an inspector and I have to say that Chris blew all of the others out of the water. He was incredibly knowledgeable, taught me alot about the house I was buying, and was a great resource. Hopefully we never move again, but if we did, I would only use Chris!

Incredibly impressed by Chris and his expertise. He was such a pleasure to work with. I look forward to recommending him to friends!

Chris was extremely thorough in our home inspection. I would highly recommend Longs GCS Corp if you were in need an inspection!

Chris came highly recommended via my sister and I’m so glad we used him for our home inspection. He was extremely thorough, kind and knowledgeable throughout the inspection and as the report was put together. He truly feels like he’s “on your team,” especially during a process that can be overwhelming and stressful! I left feeling confident that I knew the ins and outs of the property we were purchasing, and what to focus on first. Can’t recommend enough!

Chris does a very thorough job with his inspections. He is the best and came highly recommended. We are very pleased.

Extremely knowledgeable, took the time to explain the whole report to me item by item and did a much more in depth report than any other inspector I’ve worked with

Cannot recommend Chris enough! He is responsive and thorough. It's clear he loves what he does and has the reputation to show for it.

Working with Chris was fantastic! We were initially impressed by his report and the level of attention to detail he provides. During the inspection he was happy to answer any question and his insight and knowledge were super helpful! Highly recommended!

Chris Long did an excellent job inspecting my new home! He was incredibly informative, providing valuable insights that gave me confidence in my purchase. He also took the time to share helpful advice with my son, who was thrilled to learn from his expertise. Chris was professional, thorough, and clearly knowledgeable—highly recommend his services to anyone in need of a top-notch home inspection!

I highly recommend Chris. He did an extremely thorough inspection and explained everything very clearly. He has gone above and beyond in communicating with us as first-time home owners with many questions. You will definitely be in good hands working with Chris.

My wife and I are first time home buyers and Chris made the entire process seamlessly easy with a huge peace of mind. Very thorough and extremely informative about the entire process. Highly recommend him for your home inspection needs

First time home buyer, was recommended by my co-worker and could not be any more happy after getting charged over $800 more for a prior inspection that was horribly inaccurate. Can not say enough about how amazing Chris was in pointing out the priorities and noting where the craftsmanship was lacking!

I WAS SMART TO HIRE CHRIS. HE DID A VERY THOROUGH JOB. HE HAS AN EYE FOR DETAILS AND FOUND A LOT OF ISSUES ANOTHER PERSON WOULD HAVE NOT DETECTED, SAVING ME A LOT OF REPAIRS AND PROBLEMS ALONG THE WAY. THIS WAS MONEY WELL SPENT TO HIRE THE BEST IN THE FIELD. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!

Chris is the best of the best Home Inspectors. He is thorough, full of cross-functional industry knowledge and experience. He goes beyond the call of duty by also providing after service information in a user friendly portal where the reports, photos and guidance is conveniently stored for easy access. We would use him again, with no hesitation!!

We called and had Chris and his team inspect a home we wanted to purchase. Chris was warm and personable. Tim came out did a thorough inspection he was professional and a sweet guy. He offered to go over his preliminary report at this point. The written report was available quickly . Chris offered to have zoom meeting to go over everything in the report. When I called Chris is he was extremely accommodating. He and Tim were so incredibly easy to work with. The price was also more than fair. I would highly recommend anyone needing a home inspection to use this company.

From the moment Chris Long stepped into our home, we felt at ease. His expertise was evident as he explained everything clearly and thoroughly, even to someone with no prior knowledge of mold like ourselves. He identified the source of the mold problem quickly and provided a detailed report with actionable steps for remediation, leaving us feeling confident and empowered to address the issue. We can't recommend Chris enough. In fact, he pointed out some issues that were missed by the person we hired to do our home inspection a few years ago. He’s a wealth of knowledge and does all he can for his clients.

Chris arrived on time, fully prepared and even wore shoe covers. The inspection was thorough, as was the written report. I will be keeping the report as a go-to guide for living in the unit. He is also a very nice person!

It was great to meet you on inspection day. The whole experience was eye-opening. Your professionalism, knowledge, and the information that you gave to my wife and me were greatly appreciated. The inspection report was complete and thorough, with all pictures and information on all aspects of the inspection. If I had to do this again, you would be the person I would call, and I will pass on your information to all my family members and friends.

If you're looking for a competent, trustworthy, reliable, and honest home inspector, look no further. Chris Long is the REAL DEAL. His report was so incredibly thorough, that it made my head spin... a very good thing in this case. He also takes the time to help his homebuyers understand his very thorough reports, and makes recommendations on how to mitigate issues found in any home. I feel confident that he left no stone unturned. Aside from his professionalism, he is hilarious and simply a pleasure to work with.

Thank you so much, Chris!

If you are in need of a home inspection, look no further than Longs GCS. Chris is professional and most importantly thorough. Everything was checked with a fine tooth comb. The report was carefully and completely written. Chris also has a great personality which makes the sometimes dreadful process of homebuying easier.

Chris Long is our ‘go to’ person when we are deciding on the purchase of a home. He is thorough in his survey of a home using latest technology ( like expandable poles and powerful cameras to examine every inch of a roof.) This could avoid missing a high cost repair. The detail of his report , annotated with easy to read photos includes suggestions for mitigation or repair. He makes the process so easy for the buyer. Thank you Chris.

Chris did a great job and is very knowledgeable in his field! His experience and insight is invaluable when purchasing a home. I highly recommend him!

Pleasure to work with, attention to every detail and informative. Was available when I needed and provided a thorough inspection report. Will definitely use in the future.

Chris was a delight! Was gracious in explaining in detail of every aspect of the inspection, was thorough in examining every inch of the property. I found Chris to be an expert and it was a great relief to have Chris as my inspector. I would recommend Chris to anyone who asked as I can't imagine anyone who is more professional and easy to work with. I felt comforted by his expertise.

Chris was recommended to me by a trusted neighbor. He was very professional and knowledgeable, explaining each step of the inspection process and answering all my questions. He easily put my concerns at rest. I highly recommend Longs GCS Corporation Home Inspections.

Chris Long was without question the best Real Estate inspector i have ever had the pleasure of using.

I highly recommend using his services if ever in need of inspection services.

Chris is absolutely amazing. He gave the most thorough home inspection and report, truly checking every nook and cranny. I sent the report to many family members looking for advice on whether to proceed with purchasing, and even they all were impressed with how thorough of a job he had done. He also answered so many questions throughout the inspection process. His knowledge and expertise made us feel comfortable in going forward with the home purchase (and report helped us negotiate!). You can tell he is passionate about his work and extremely dedicated. We received our inspection report early morning the day after the inspection, and on the 4th of July no less! I can't recommend him enough. He truly knows his stuff and gave us so much helpful advice which was extremely valuable as first time home buyers. I would 100% use his services again in the future.

I am a licensed agent who never hesitates to refer clients to Chris. His experience and knowledge base is unsurpassed. He is fair, honest, and fun. He inspires confidence in my buyers and sellers and adds real credibility to every transaction. Chris, thank you for being such a pleasure to work with and a very good person.

Chris was thorough and informative. He took his time and gave great explanations . We highly recommed Longs GCS Corp Home Inspectors
from two home buyers

I could not recommend Chris highly enough. We had a lot of anxiety about putting in an offer on an old home, but having Chris on our team relieved as much of it as could be for such a big financial decision. We went forward with an offer clear-eyed about what we would be getting ourselves into.

He was honest, transparent and fair, he prioritized us as his clients. He did not rush us at all and looked over all major components of the house very thoroughly, spending way more time than I expected on inspecting, advising, and writing his report.

He was responsive, organized, and efficient, and he made us feel like we had a trustworthy ally as we contemplated the very large life decision of buying our first house.

It's hard to imagine a better and more thorough home inspector. I found Chris online given his stellar reviews from fellow homebuyers in the area. I am so happy I found him. His inspection and report were both very thorough, and clearly delineated major from minor findings as well as suggestions as to how to improve the home's safety and condition. He was also a genuinely kind and thoughtful inspector and we really enjoyed the few hours we spent with him and learned so much during the process. Despite our inspection being on a Friday afternoon at the end of a long week for him, and dealing with a delay due to relocation paperwork, he did not cut any corners or shorten our time at the house - he went through everything. My family was present during our inspection (they have closed on many more real estate purchases than we have) also concurred that he was clearly the best inspector they have ever seen. Chris Long is a fantastic home inspector, extremely knowledgeable, and importantly a great family man with standup character. Believe me, this is your guy!!

Chris provided an excellent service for our home inspection. He was extremely professional and thorough on site. We had a very quick turn to get into closing and Chris was able to provide an impeccable report making us feel very confident in our decision to move forward. Highly recommend utilizing his services, 10/10.

Chris is simply the best. He has conducted several inspections for me and pointed out things that no one else uncovered. He is thorough and experienced. Most importantly he conducts his job as if he was purchasing the home. I highly recommend him. Thank you Chris!

Chris is extremely professional & a master at his craft. He gave us a fully detailed home inspection report. You want the best, you got the best!

Chris was wonderful, incredibly focused, and highly experienced. He worked efficiently and quickly and was flexible to fit us in. Thanks Chris!

Chris is as knowledgeable and professional as they come. During my home inspection he did a through job both inside and outside and had me walk with him as he did the entire process. He asked and answered all my questions; and he explained nuances in the condition of the house that I would not have otherwise understood. He checked every visible nook and corner in the house. He opened every window and assessed the frames, tested the appliances and faucets...he shook every banister, jiggled every water spout, assessed every electrical outlet and took photos and voice memos as he went. It was a very comprehensive inspection of all areas we had access to. Chris was personable and patient throughout this hourslong inspection. Chris also provided a very detailed report the very next day, inclusive of a summary (and appended details) of the primary things to address, ad corresponding photos to evidence any disrepair or irregularity identified. His billing/pricing was straightforward. It was a pleasure to work with Chris and I will be using his expertise for further assessments, projects, or consultations as I go forward. I could not recommend him and his services more.

Chris was a great inspector. Extremely knowledgeable and helpful. Told us exactly what to look out for and even gave us a maintenance breakdown. Very thorough with his inspection includes photos and even detailed remedies to all issues. Doesn’t try to up sell you on anything you don’t need. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a good inspector !

Such a knowledgeable, professional and kind person! Highly recommend Chris for any home inspection. He is very thorough and provides wonderful advice!

Pros: You'll get a thorough inspection with a great guy. Able to give thoughts and suggestions during the walk-through.
Cons: The inspection is so good that you might not want to know everything about the house you're buying! Just kidding - no cons at all.

Chris was very thorough in his inspection and let us know about everything he saw (good and bad) while doing the inspection. At the end he sat with us and went over everything including suggestions and recommendations for certain things. His report was also very thorough and easy to read/understand. It had pictures of everything he inspected attached and even had the suggestions/recommendations listed for different parts of the house. He even included information about how to maintain certain things such as the well, septic and oil tank. I would highly recommend Chris to anyone looking for a home inspection.

This was a very professional and detailed inspection that provided us with a clear understanding of the house situation and helping us to take an informed decision.

As first time home buyers there seems to be a million and one things to worry about making the biggest purchase in our lives. From the moment we met with Chris that morning to start his inspection, we knew we were in good hands. Chris is a man who prides himself in what he brings as an inspector, his attention to detail, and he also taught us a few things in the process. His clarity of explanation of the ins and outs while on site, combined with the thoroughness of the report, truly gave us the foundational information that we needed. Thank you for your time, knowledge, and wisdom Chris. Forever just got a little brighter in what will be our forever home thanks to your skill set. Appreciate you Chris and Longs GCS Corporation Home Inspections!!!

Chris did a very thorough inspection for me. Taking the time to explain things to me in detail and advise me on next steps to take in the future to ensure that I will be happy and safe in a new home. I really felt that he had advised me in a professional and thoughtful way.

Chris is a consummate professional who runs his inspections like a well-oiled machine. He will not only tell you about problems with the house, he'll also cover preventative maintenance to help prevent new ones. That knowledge is so valuable as a first-time homeowner. Highly recommended!

I highly recommend working with Chris and his team if you are buying a new home and in need of an inspector! Chris is amazing, and goes above and beyond in supporting his clients. His inspections are incredibly thorough, and he is straightforward and supportive throughout the entire process. After the inspection he provided us with a detailed report including recommendations and photos of everything, and has been a consistent resource for us in terms of recommending service providers and prioritization around what work is the most urgent. I fully trust this company and would use them on any inspections moving forward.

Chris is the best! Knowledgeable, dedicated, and passionate about what he does. You can trust him to be thorough and to give your home his full attention and the benefit of his extensive experience.

Chris was extremely thorough and gave me a very detailed report with suggestions of how to fix each problem. I was extremely satisfied with his work and appreciate all the time he spent doing it. Many thanks Chris.

Chris is fabulous! He is extremely knowledgable and enjoyable to work with. Great sense of humor is a bonus! Use him for your inspection!!

Working with Chris has been fantastic – very thorough and he took the time to explain everything clearly and answered (with gusto) all of my questions to put me at ease (as a first-time home buyer). He was incredibly friendly, approachable, and made the whole process stress-free. Very responsive in communication both before and after the home inspection. I highly recommend his services!

As a real estate agent, Chris is the first name I share with clients when they have an accepted offer. In fact, Chris inspected my own home and it’s through that that I initially saw the love and care he displays for his clients. You leave the inspection feeling as if you are his own children. Chris just simply goes above and beyond. He follows up to see how things are proceeding towards contracts and is always cheering you on from the sidelines. He’s thorough and incredibly skilled, sitting on the Board of Directors for the New York State Association of Home Inspectors and has strong expertise in mold. He advocates for the buyer and has done so many inspections over the years that he understands the nuance (what’s sensible to ask for in a multiple offer scenario and what’s not). He brings humanity to what is always a very stressful process. Chris also has a home watch service which is super helpful for folks with secondary residences or who travel often and need a separate set of eyes on their most important asset.

SO impressed, Chris made this process easy!! Such professionalism, excellent communication and thorough report delivered quickly - I can't thank Chris enough for ensuring our safety and so happy we went with Longs GCS Corp! Highly recommend.

Chris was thorough, took time out to explain things in common terms, and extremely knowledgeable. Photos and in depth explanation were provided via written report. Thanks so much.

Amazing experience with Chris, was very informative about fixing and maintaining my future home. Already have and will continue to recommend Longs GCS Corp for anybody in need of a trustworthy and reliable home inspector

I honestly can't imagine a more thorough, educational, and enjoyable home inspection. From our first conversation over the phone, it was clear Chris Long was the right man for the job. He was both an incredibly well-prepared and qualified expert but also treated us like family -- a really comforting and value-additive combination. He did everything in his power to make sure our home was well cared for, properly maintained, and in excellent shape for us to take over as the new owners. Not to mention he was super responsive, comprehensive, and thoughtful with follow-ups over the next several days. Can't thank you enough, Chris!

Chris did an extensive home inspection, complete with pictures and videos. The report is easy to read and even provides recommendations and suggestions on how to better improve the home. I highly recommend you use him! Thank you Chris.

Repeat customer, and for good reason! Chris is simply the best - professional, incredibly knowledgable, and thorough in his work. He’s able to explain issues clearly and in layman’s terms and offers sensible solutions, always putting safety and the interest of the home buyer first. We were so thankful that he was able to accommodate us on short notice too. Absolutely recommended!
