Why Choose Us

Why Central New York Chooses Advance

Thorough inspections and reports you can actually use. Buy or sell with complete confidence.

20 Years in Construction

Two decades of building experience before ever picking up an inspection clipboard. Nate reads a house the way someone who has built one does, and knows which details actually matter.

Clear, Concise Reports

Findings in plain language with photos, organized so you can act on them. No jargon, no padding, no wading through pages to find what matters.

Central Finger Lakes Local

Based in Tompkins County and working across seven surrounding counties. Local knowledge means recognizing the issues our region and our older housing stock actually produce.

Ongoing Education

Committed to consistent, ongoing training so the expertise brought to your inspection stays varied and current, not frozen at whenever the license was issued.

Licensed Home Inspector

Licensed to inspect in New York State, with the training and standards that come with it, for your protection and peace of mind.

Built to Move You Forward

Buying or selling, the goal is the same: give you what you need to confidently advance to the next step. That is the whole point of the inspection.
