We called Al after taking down a couple of walls between our kitchen and dining room. We had a structural engineer come a couple of years ago when we were floating around the idea of opening up the space. At the time, all the walls were still intact. They came in and within a few minutes said that the walls were not load bearing. We could take them all down without supporting them. Fast forward to last week, we took the walls down and just to err on the side of caution, wanted to get a second opinion. We called Al at Long Island Engineer. He responded right away and checked everything out. He did confirm that the walls were not load bearing but felt he should go home and do some calculations. He called a couple days later to say that one of the beams could not handle the larger opening that we had created. He provided solutions. He could have just given us the short answer like the first company did. But he took his time and thank goodness he did. Now we have peace of mind that the structure of our house will be secure. Thank you Al for all of your help!

We called LI Home Inspection Engineers for their expertise to see if we could remove a lally column in our basement— Al was extremely knowledgeable & provided us with a detailed engineers report …. It was a pleasure working with Al— he is very friendly & personable!!

I had a problem with a section of my first floor dipping on a small section of my living room. Al took his time explaining the problem and gave me a very detailed and informative report as to what I should need to do to rectify the problem. He made me feel very comfortable about correcting the problem and at a very fair price.

Al is a force to be reckoned with! His level of expertise is worth far more than the cost of service. He is incredibly thorough and knowledgeable. I appreciated his urgency to follow up and prompt response to all of my inquiries. I would highly recommend Al and his services to all my friends and family because I am confident that they are in good hands.

Al is simply outstanding. He is very thorough with his reports and will find any concerns with a home that you need an inspection for. He has saved us major headaches and THOUSANDS of dollars in the future. He is a straight shooter and a great person, which is hard to find today. I will recommend him to anyone I know who needs an engineer to inspect their home.

Al’s inspection represented a rare enjoyable experience in our otherwise stress-inducing first home purchase. He fiercely advocates for his client, unlike most brokers or broker-referred home inspectors. Within 5 minutes of meeting Al, we could tell how passionate and thoughtful Al is about his work.

Al is an excellent Engineer. He is thorough and always represents his clients interests. He answers questions promptly and in great detail. Spending a few hours with him during our inspection really opened my eyes to the process of buying a home. He is a wealth of knowledge.

Al is an extremely experienced and knowledgeable engineer. You can tell he’s been doing this for decades. His inspection report he gave me was very detailed and thorough covering every single thing he observed from the major issues to the very minor. I felt safe that i was in good hands the whole time. I HIGHLY recommend him as a very professional and reliable engineer that won’t let you down.

I called Al to get an idea of what a home inspection price would cost. I was looking at a co-op that had a slanted floor and after explaining this to Al on the phone before even setting up an inspection, he advised me to not buy it. He saved me a lot of money! I will definitely be using him again in the future.

Al was great! I found Al on google and he really gets the job done and knows what he’s doing. He goes above and beyond to make sure the house is good for purchase! He’s extremely honest and friendly. I would recommend him to anyone who’s looking to purchase a house! Thanks again!!

Nothing but good things to say about Al! He was on time, professional, and you can tell he knows his stuff. We had the extremely detailed report within a day of the inspection and can’t believe how thorough he is! I would highly recommend Al, he’s the best at what he does and he truly cares about his clients.

The short version: Al is the man! We are so happy we used him for a home inspection!!!The longer version: Al showed up to the house a little while before I did and began working around the perimeter of the house. I could tell right away that he was thorough. It was also clear that he loves what he does, as he was happy to share information about his findings at every step of the way. This is a big deal for us, by far the largest investment my wife and I have made, so I was comforted knowing that we had Al there with us. He had a great personality that put me at ease with all of the goingson of the inspection, matched by how well he knew what he was doing. He was polite, he was happy to take time to answer questions, he took pictures of EVERYTHING, he sent his report for me to read later that evening (our inspection was done early and the report is sizable, I was impressed that he sent it the same day).All in all, if you need an engineer, I can tell you I am SO happy that we had Al working with us. I’m writing this review because I truly want as many people as possible to find and use this company.

Al is the best!! He came so out of his way today to help us plan a project and once it was all said and done we didn’t even need a report! Al is very knowledgeable and came up with a great alternative that saved us time and money. He didn’t even want his full fee even though he spent a significant amount of time with us and let us fully pick his brain. A very honest, reliable and trustworthy person and business. I would never hesitate to call him again nor will I recommend any other engineer or home inspector to my friends and family; Al is the best!

The first and most important fact you should know about Al is he works for you. Unlike MOST home inspectors that loosely call themselves engineers, Al is a licensed PE and will show you every positive or negative aspect about the home you may or may not purchase. AL has inspected 3 of our homes, over the last 16 years and 2 of which we lived in for many many years. His reports are extremely concise and we have reviewed them even after purchasing our homes when we had specific projects he recommended to complete. The last home he inspected for us, he even went in the crawl space that had mold and water, now thats dedication!We highly recommend Al Triolo.

Great experience. Al was prompt and performed an informative inspection. He also assisted me with a letter for additional information requested by the bank. Great service.

Al is nothing but professional and courteous. I called him with a last minute appointment request and he was able to come out and inspect the house the very next day. He took is time, went over every last detail in the house and even taught me what to look for along the way. I left the inspection very informed and confident about my knowledge of the houses condition. His report is very detailed and I received it bright and early the next day. I would recommend his services to anyone and would use him again!!

Al did an amazing job on our home inspection-- he spent lots of time answering my questions and assessing every corner of the house, and he left no stone unturned. When I sent his home inspection report to our real estate attorney, he said that it was one of the best engineers reports he had ever seen (--and hes been in business for many many years, and has seen a LOT). I couldnt recommend him any more highly!

MORE LIKE A TEN STAR. Buying a home its not like buying a bicycle or a car. It is a very big investment and responsibility. One of the biggest investment some individuals will ever make in their lifetimes. Buyer beware is so true and if you do not have the right experience professional doing the right job for you could get you into a big expensive mistake later. Which is what happened to us when we purchased our very first home. We hired a certified inspector with years of experience and a year later we were forced to demolished our home . If we would have hired Al in the very beginning we wouldve never made that purchase. After doing extensive research of the difference between a professional engineer (PE) and a certified inspector and studying Al Triolos background, years of experience, training, knowledge and commitment to his profession made me very confident I had hired the best professional for this job. I have hired Al on two different occasions; for possible purchases of homes for engineer inspections. Both times the walk through and reports were on point, thorough and very accurate. In fact the reports were complimented by my attorney and a helical pile family owned company. On our second inspection a structural/foundation concern was brought up, which I highly believe this major issue could have been easily missed if the inspection was performed by an inspector and not a PE. He will work and do what is best for his costumers and treats his costumers as if they are his family. Al is completely honest on what he sees even if the truth sometime hurts. I am actually appalled by a few of the negative reviews on this site. The time that I have gotten to known Al, has shown me that not only does he have the years of experience, but he REALLY knows his stuff and takes pride in it. If you are looking for someone who is a professional, knowledgeable, honest , has integrity and wants his costumers to buy a good and safe home then this is the right person for you. A true and honest professional!

I reached out to Al by way of a recommendation and the reviews here on Google; and I was not disappointed. Al was on time, courteous, thorough, and explained everything along the way during my inspection. He is honest, prices are fair, and turned over a detailed report within 24 hours. I appreciate his accommodation on such short notice and stellar work. I would recommend him to anyone looking for home inspection. Thank you.

Hiring Al to inspect our homes has been a real pleasure. With so many people working with you during the home buying process, its safe to say trusting Al is the easiest decision. Hes been very accommodating, especially on short notice. Watching him work, you get a feel of his dedication to his clients and not to anyone else. It wasnt hard for me to ask him to inspect multiple homes. Through his detailed explanation and his report, you know hes experienced and very knowledgeable. I will refer Al to anyone I know buying a home.

I would not hesitate to recommend Al. He did a home inspection for me on very short notice and I was grateful. From the moment I met him, I knew that he was on my side looking out for my best interests. I felt it was important to hire an independent inspector and not someone referred by the sellers agent.Al was thorough and walking through the home with him was quite enlightening. He explains everything in great detail.To top it off, Al is quite funny and very friendly. Great guy and a better home inspector.

Al is a real professional. We needed a home inspection very quickly due to the situation we were in. I had arranged to meet him at my potential home one day and he changed his schedule to accommodate me. I then had to cancel on him due to some issues we had with the sellers. He didnt show signs of frustration which I appreciated. Things rapidly changed again and I called Al in the early afternoon on the day we originally scheduled the inspection on, and a few hours later he met me at the home.Al has been doing this for so long and has a great feel for the area. He knows what issues are common and knows exactly what to look out for during the inspection. He did not rush through anything and explained all of his findings as we walked the property together. I really enjoyed discussing the potential negatives and positives of the home with him. From an engineering point of view, he made it very clear what would need to be taken care of urgently or not if I were to purchase the home. A detailed engineering report was emailed to me within 24 hours highlighting certain findings with photos and explanations. Without hesitation, I would recommend Al to anyone considering a home in this area.

Al did a great job with our home inspection back in Nov17. He arrived promptly at the house, explained to us everything he was looking for, and asked the homeowners questions when needed. He took many pictures, tested the electric outlets, hot water, went into the attic to inspect under the roof, among other things. We couldnt test the AC or sprinkler system since it was winter. He provided a full detailed report the next day along with a great list of recommendations around how to upkeep certain things in the house. Would use again.Peter and Mike

I was in a jamb and needed an engineering inspection on a home quick. Al was very accommodating with his schedule and delivered as promised. He provided a thorough inspection, checking items I wouldve never noticed. He was honest and wasnt afraid to tell me his opinions and concerns. He provided a detailed report of the inspection, even suggesting repairs and estimating costs the very next day. I would definitely use Al again and recommend him to anyone looking for a home engineering inspection.

Al was very true and honest on inspection. Has your best interests at hand. Not only did Al make this home inspection a educating one for myself on what things to look for and why, and what to expect down the road in certain parts(Boiler Age, Roof, etc...), Al also followed up to ask about any questions that I may have thought of ,after the inspection was completed . Highly Recommend!!A+

After doing a lot of research for an engineer, we came across Al the Engineer. Al had the best reviews from previous customers and now we know why! Al is a superb engineer.He is extremely thorough and truly knows his stuff.Al was very accommodating with setting up the inspection time & date. He was very prompt and easy to talk with. Al has the buyers interest in mind. I recommend Al to anyone purchasing a home...You will not be disappointed.

Al is the best person to have when purchasing a home. He saved me from getting into something that could have cost well over 50k to fix up. Hes extremely knowledgeable and looks out for your best interest. I would put 10 stars if I could!

We are so pleased we chose Al to inspect our home. Al went above and beyond to ensure that our home was thoroughly inspected. Al made it a point to show me important aspects of my new home that I needed to know about and patiently explained how this would impact me going forward. Had it not been for Al’s persistence, I am confident certain issues never would have been discovered. Additionally, Al promptly provided us with a detailed report of his findings the very next day, with pictures and good faith estimates for repairs included. Al was extremely knowledgeable, professional and friendly. He also promptly responded to all questions we had after receiving our report. If you are looking for a home inspector, choose Al!

I am So glad that I found Al. You dont find too many hard working Engineers like Al these days. He is very Professional. He takes his time to inspect your house from top to bottom. I cant stress enough how important it is to inspect your house with an expert and experienced Engineer like Al before you buy your house. Some Inspectors maybe cheap but the outcome of that is cheap too. So is it really worthy to invest in a house not properly inspected, that might end up costing you fortune? With Engineers like Al, You cant go wrong. They have spent years to get their degrees in Engineering, whereas home inspectors took a week course to get their certificate. There is no comparison when it comes to home inspectors vs Engineers. Al was so thorough with my house inspection that now i know what to improve after i buy my house. His recommendations are on point and Precise. Thanks Al. I would recommend you to anybody whos buying a house in a heartbeat.

Al did a great job. He was pleasant and professional. I had a time constraint and Al was able to get here within two hours of my first call to him. He spent an hour here, diagnosed my problem and gave me simple and effective solutions. A true pro!

I have hired Al 3 times so far. His prices are definitely reasonable, and I feel very comfortable and confident knowing I get an actual engineer inspection with Al. Al is very personable, and he looks out for his client(s). I strongly recommend Al.

Al did two home inspections for us recently and both times did an outstanding job. First inspection revealed too many issues (moisture hidden mold, termites). He went above and beyond to educate us on all the important issues, repairs and potential cost. He followed-up with a detailed report the next morning which included pictures and estimates. We later found another house and he inspected it as well. He did as thorough job as he did with the first one, he did not hesitate to climb up the roof and crawl into a dark crawl space. We were very pleased with his knowledge, professionalism and outstanding skills. He is easily accessible and answers all questions you might have. Most importantly, Al truly makes sure that you get the best house you can get and it feels that his interest is with you. He is an engineer who truly knows his work and is worth every penny. We highly recommend him!

As first time home buyers, we used Al to inspect the house we were looking into purchasing. It was a pleasure working with him. He was very personable, accommodating with our short notice schedule and easy to keep in contact with. We were amazed at how detailed and thorough he was with the inspection. The report he formulated finished very quickly and included pictures that he had taken during the inspection. He was a great recommendation from friends.

Al is an excellent professional engineer. His home inspection was very thorough and detailed. He spent a lot of time going through the entire house in a very detailed manner. He explained his findings during the inspection. We received a very detailed report within 24 hours and we were able to negotiate a significant price reduction after his report. We highly recommend AL for your home inspection.

Al has inspected two homes for me.. Both inspections were very informative and accurate. The attention to details of both homes were very impressive. You can tell he is a knowledgeable engineer. His approach to his work in second to none..Lucky to have found him on the web.. Top Notch..

We are happy to recommend Al for home inspections. He is thorough, knowledgeable and courteous. He takes the time to discuss any issues that he finds and explains how things should work/look inside the home. His reports are detailed and timely. Al is a pleasure to work with and we trust his expertise in helping us find a safe home. Thank you so much, Al!!

Al was a day and night difference from all the home inspectors that I have dealt with in the past, he is experienced, and efficient, and truly enjoys what he does. He notices and looks for things that a typical home inspector either ignores or does not care about, I would deff refer him to anyone!

The service was exceptional ! Al is very thorough, professional, and knowledgeable. The inspection report helped my attorney negotiate with the sellers attorney to fix more than what they indicated, which saved me tons of money. His motto is I am here for you and will take care of you. The sellers agent hated him which made me love him even more. I would definitely recommend his services to anyone looking for home inspection.

Al (Long Island Engineer) is a true, educated professional and will work in your best interests. We could not be more happy with his service and his genuine care for us as clients (and more simply, as people). We used Al for two inspections. The first was in the beginning of our home search, which served as a great foundation of what to look for going forward. The last was another thorough inspection that also helped us negotiate the purchase price down. This is a very important part of your home search and Al can be trusted.

I have used Al on 2 separate occasions for house inspections within the past 1 year. He is nothing short of excellent. I have never come across someone so thorough with so much attention to detail as him. What Al performs is more than just an inspection. It is a more of a forensic investigation of every system and detail covering all aspects of the structure as well as the entire property. A simple review cannot begin to express how highly I recommend his services and how thorough and honest he is.

Thanks Al. The thorough report was great and I can see why certain real estate agents have issues with you - you tell it like it is which is what we really appreciated. We were able to get a number of things addressed via credit and fixes the homeowner will do prior to closing. We highly recommend your services.

I choose Al because he had so many great reviews from real people. And I am so glad I did. He spent 2 hours at my future home going over everything in detail with me. You can see when he is working how much he actually enjoys his work, which is nice to see. I even had a question weeks after the home inspection took place and he had no problem calling me back to answer them. Thanks again Al.-Bryan

Al was extremely thorough and was very knowledgeable about what he was talking about. Al went above and beyond, and I would not recommend anybody else BUT him. I’ve seen several home inspections with different members of my family purchasing homes, and none of the people were as thorough and on point like Al was. If you don’t utilize his expertise, you would be doing yourself a disadvantage.

Al came highly recommended to me by a friend and he did not disappoint. He was very thorough in his inspection and walked me through the entire process. He explained to me exactly what he was looking for, answered every question I had, and laid out exactly how I might deal with each issue that came up. I received his official report in less than 24 hours and it was very well written and detailed. I will definitely be recommending Al myself in the future.

Buying a home is such a huge and stressful thing. The old saying, may the buyer beware is so true. You definitely dont want to have any bad surprises. I didnt realize the difference between just a home inspector and an actual Licensed Professional Engineer (PE). Had to learn the hard way. Recently used the services of just a regular home inspector for a house I was interested in buying. Big mistake! Obvious areas of water intrusion and damage were not even mentioned in the inspectors report. Having the letters PE after their name, like Al has, I have now learned indicates that the person has much more education, experience and training. This area of water intrusion and damage would never have gotten past Al. He takes pride in doing what he does, has years and years of experience, and tells it like it is, doesnt hold any punches back. Also, in my personal experience, responds right away, and seems to really care about his customers. If I would have used Al in the first place, wouldnt be in the jam that I am in now. Dont make the same mistake I did and waste your time and money with just a regular home inspector. Instead, check to be sure for the PE after their name. Better yet, go right to Al, and do it right the first time!

I was very pleased with the inspection Al did. He was able to identify and explain major and minor issues, as well as point out the positive aspects of the house. He also provided information about what walls we would be able to knock down if we were doing renovations. He was definitely looking out for our best interest, and he told us the cost as well which was definitely beneficial to us. He produced the inspection report within 24 hours. I would definitely recommend him.

Al has to be the best engineer on long island, in fact he has to be the best anywhere. He inspected two homes and knew everything there is to know about what makes the house worthy enough to buy. He is an electrician, carpenter, and plumber all rolled into one person. To be honest, there wasnt one thing he didnt know. Dont waste your time on another engineer. Thanks Al, you truly are talented at what you do!

We used Al for our inspection this week and he was great. If you want an engineer who will tell you the truth and not what the seller or agent wants you to hear, that is Al. I had contractor friends tell me I will be wasting my money on an inspection because engineers work with the sellers and agents, but I tell you... within minutes of walking through the house with Al, I knew I had made the right choice to select him. Yes you can find someone who may charge you $50 less for an inspection (trust me, I shopped around) but Al is totally worth it. Not only is he there for your best interest but he is very experienced. These are the two main reasons why I hired him and would recommend him to anyone.

We hired Al based on his 5 star rating and extensive research on home engineers. He was absolutely focused on what he was doing, demonstrating a vast knowledge of every aspect of potential negative and positive issues. He was honest, professional, and extremely knowledgeable. Al got into every nook and cranny of the home, from the roof to the basement and crawl spaces. He is definitely out to protect the home buyer. His report was comprehensive in every aspect. If you want an inspection done that will give you peace of mind, Al is the Engineer to hire. I have already recommended him and will continue to do so. I would give him ten stars if I could.Mike C.

Great service and transparent communication. Mr. Al was very thorough and detailed. We felt he was truly looking out for us to ensure our new property was safe and sound. We felt he was very trustworthy and knowledgeable. I would definitely work with him again.

I had Al inspect two homes we are interested in buying. He is professional, thorough and very knowledgeable. His inspection revealed issues that would have otherwise gone unnoticed. He saved me thousands of dollars. You cant go wrong with Al!

I wish there was an Al Triolo in every industry.I’d hire him and be rest assured that he is providing me with outstanding service. This man took his time with me, went above and beyond to find all the points of concern with the house we inspected and didn’t even want to meet with the realtors. He was 10x more loyal to me than my OWN buyers agent. I called him on 3 occasions after our first inspection with him and he answered every time, patiently going over all of my questions and concerns. Thanks to him we backed out of an accepted offer that we eventually realized would’ve been a nightmare.After receiving FIVE STAR SERVICE, we ended up hiring him for a second inspection on a much better home we found. We were sure this house was in decent shape to buy but the trust we had in Al allowed us not to hesitate for one second to hire him for another inspection. He told us about the minor updates we needed to make to bring the house up to code and also gave us some tips on what we may want to upgrade in the near future. He is worth every penny and more! If you are to to buy a home, please do yourself a HUGE FAVOR and hire Long Island Engineer. Thanks AL!!!!!

Thank you again for all your help today Al. I could tell you went above and beyond to give us the best information. You are clearly passionate about your work and we are very thankful for all your advice.

I have used Al for two home inspections and my brother has used him for his home inspection as well. Al is extremely knowledgeable and thorough making sure we didn’t buy a house that would be a money pit. He identified the problems and gave us estimates and ways the problems could be corrected. He is incredibly patient and truly has the buyers best interest in mind. I’m so glad I used him because the first house he inspected he identified problems that would have cost us thousands of dollars so we passed on the house. Knowing we could trust him we used him for our second house and it went great! I wouldn’t use anyone except Al for all my home inspection and engineer needs he is actually one of the few home inspectors that is an actual licensed engineer!

Al did a great job inspecting my house. HE really took the time to walk through every detail and pointed out things that we would have never thought to see. His thorough inspection was able to help us negotiate a better deal on our first house. I would highly recommend him to anyone.

Al is an amazing engineer and inspector. He possesses a wealth of experience and knowledge which are reflected In his comprehensive and thorough reports. Overall a wonderful professional!!

Al was very professional and honest. Saved me from getting into a house that had tremendous structural issues. I’m so glad I reached out to him. Will definitely use him again in the future.

Al is highly qualified structural engineer and so easy to talk. I called Al to advise on a foundation and footing failure; and he immediately recommended a solution with his detailed report. His report was typed up quickly I used it as a blueprint to fix the house. Thank you so much.

Al is a terrific engineer and we highly recommend him. He is very knowledgeable and truthful. Al provided us with a great service and saved us a lot of money from buying a horrible house. It’s amazing the things that he can teach/explain to you, especially if you’re a 1st time home buyer. If you use Al, you won’t be sorry.. completely worth every penny especially when making such a huge investment!

Al is very knowledgeable and a true professional. He is a true licensed engineer not just an inspector. He performed an inspection on a fully renovated home and was able to pinpoint some major issues. The report was very well written and the seller agreed to perform all the recommended enhancements. I couldn’t be happier with Als service.

Al Triolo is an excellent choice for inspecting your future home, making it very clear that he works for you, the buyer. His honest opinion is very much appreciated as he walks through the home conducting the inspection while addressing any concerns we had. The home inspection was very thorough and saved us thousands of dollars off of hidden repairs. A detailed inspection report and extensive maintenance guide are also generated within 24 hours of the inspection. Thanks Al!

Al is the best help that u need in the buying process. He is honest and very good in finding problems. I will use him again if I have to with no hesitation.

Mr.Al is very Knowledgeable in his profession.He takes his time to go through all the details and actually find out if there is any issues. He observation is mind blowing.He Inspected 2 homes for me and i am very satisfied. Both of my report was very quickly done.I recommend Al to anyone who is buying home or even thinking about it.

Very happy that we found and hired Al for our home inspection! It was a pleasure working with him and learning so much about the house we intend to buy. He was able to pick up on so many little details we would have never known about, like the fact that there had been a fire in the house or that some of the floors in the kitchen had sustained water damage. Highly recommend!

Our inspection was superb!!- Al found things I never would have thought to look for- he is upfront and honest with you from the start- I was a stranger to him and he honestly told me to not move forward on the house before even looking at it based on the information I told him over the phone- risking losing a job without even knowing me- We went thru the inspection, and he is as good as advertised- He truly is there representing you. He does not sugar coat anything- he gives you the good and bad-- We did not buy the house, but the next one we go for inspection, or any friends/family that need an inspection- Al will be the person I refer, for sure.

I just did my home inspection yesterday with Al Triolo. Al was great! He was very thorough and had my best interest. He really cares about his costumers. When we began the inspection he asked the real estate agent to give him and I time to talk and go through everything. At one point the agent tried to make his way back to us and Al spoke up and said he would like to be left alone with is costumer. Like him I dont trust or like real estate agent myself because of how they may try and cover things up. Bottom line he made me feel protected in that he would fine anything wrong with the house and not sugar coat anything. The inspection took about 2 hours not including the half hour Al walked the property prior to me arriving. Al is worth every penny and more. Thank you again Al you knowledge and experience truly shows!

We just had a inspection yesterday for a house we made an offer on, and Al is seriously your guy!!! Hes incredibly intelligent, meticulous, detail-oriented, insightful, patient, funny and most of all, REAL. This man genuinely cares about your well-being in your future home and will take the extra time and effort to make sure youre completely informed and prepared for what your home is going to need. He works for you and looks out for your best interest...not the realtors which is extremely rare.In our inspection, I basically followed him around as he pointed out and explained in detail the good, bad, and minor. He educated me on things I didnt even think about or consider, and he gave me background knowledge on why things were/werent at a satisfactory level. He even took the time to give me tips on some questions I had that werent even on his inspection. Additionally, when we got our report back in well under 24 hours, it was extremely thorough and well-written. The notes and recommendations were spot on and incredibly valuable for us to use. It was the best investment we made, because he saved us from getting involved in the biggest nightmare of our lives. I am definitely going to use Al when we find another house and am going to recommend him to everyone I know.Thank you Al!!!!

Al is a very thorough and detailed professional. He takes the extra time to explain issues along the way, and makes sure the buyer is comfortable with his inspection. Im glad I was able to work with Al and I would recommend him to anyone looking for a home engineer. He is one of the few in the home buying process that is straightforward and on your side.

Al saved us from purchasing a house that had mold in the basement and a buried abandoned oil tank in the backyard. Honestly, I could not be happier.I had a competitor do the initial inspection of a house that I was hoping to buy. That competitor from PHI had been highly recommended by my boss. That inspector said the house was in perfect condition and gave us minor issues to resolve before closing on the house. With that report we signed the contract and put the minor issues to be resolved in the contract. I always knew that I liked second opinions so I had Al come in to do another inspection and to check that the issues had been resolved. To my surprise, Al discovered serious issues such as MOLD in the basement that I had intended to use as a playroom for my toddlers and a Buried ABANDONED OIL TANK. The house had gas heat and as you may know it sometimes costs over $60k to clean up an oil tank that has been abandoned. My husband and I walked away from that house and we could not be happier. Al really saved us. Use this guy! He is worth it and now we would not purchase a home in the NY area without having Al inspect it.

Al was very helpful during the home buying process, even answering any questions I had about any houses that I looked at over the phone. His inspection was thorough, open and honest. He makes it known that he works for the buyer and only the buyer. Al backs up what he sees during the inspection with a detailed report that explains everything about the house, including what typical maintenance for the house would be. Thanks Al.

Al was referred to me by my good friend, Tony. This being my first time buying my own home as a single person, I was a little nervous. Al was very friendly and thorough. He was nice enough to talk to me on the phone a week after the inspection was over to answer questions my attorney needed some answers to. I highly recommend Al to anyone buying their first home or 5th home. I will definitely be giving out his number to friends needing an engineer.

I hired Al Triolo back in 2007 to inspect two homes. In the first home he found termite damage, as a consequence, I continued my search and found another house in much better condition. I was so pleased with his knowledge on the subject due to his experience that I hired him again this past month for another home inspection. Once again, his detailed report has given me a better understanding of the condition the house is in. I like that a copy of the report was mailed to me right away. I also appreciate all of the pictures that he included in it. I would recommend and hire Al anytime!

First hes amazingly responsive! He got back to me the day I left a message for him, within HOURS - on a SUNDAY! Then he continued working with me throughout the day as we tried to find the best time for the home inspection, and worked with us through phone, email and text - amazing dedication and follow through! I think Al did more work for me than my Realtor did. He is so upfront and honest and us more information on our house than our realtor did. It was clear hes honest and knows what hes talking about, he works for the buyer not the realtor. I love that he is unaffiliated. Our realtor tried hard to push banks, home inspectors and lawyers on us but it was nice knowing Al had OUR best interest in mind, not the realtors or referral kickbacks.

Al was a great choice to inspect our potential future home. He was meticulous, professional and wasnt afraid to tell us both the good and the bad. Due to some miscommunication with the seller, Al needed to return to the home on a few different occasions to make sure we got the full picture of what was going on with the foundation of the house. He was flexible in doing this and we really appreciated the peace of mind his report afforded. He spent a lot of time on the phone with me and my husband fully explaining things we didnt understand and making sure that if we were to buy the home, we knew exactly what we were getting into. Highly recommend.

Thank you, Al. This was an incredible home inspection report and were both lucky to have found you. You are certainly recommended by us.

Thank you for sending over so quickly and on the weekend! I can see why youve garnered such great feedback from past clients. The inspection was super thorough and a real good education for me as Im new to this whole process. I wouldnt hesitate to recommend you to anyone needing a home inspection.

Recently spent over 2 hrs with Al during the inspection of the Condo my wife and I are in the process of purchasing. Not only was Al an absolute professional and wealth of knowledge, he was a delight to work with. He helped me understand all the bells and whistles that make the home run and what I what issues I may need to look out for in the near future. Wouldnt work with another engineer for home inspection, Al was fantastic.- Rich Nicholas

Al came on short notice and did a through and insightful inspection on a home that my fiance and I were love with. He truly is an artist and watching him work we began to see the potential problems that would have cost thousands to fix. Al was truly on our side and will not let a pushy realtor take advantage of you. He is prompt, professional and an inspiration to see at work. Spending money on Als assessment was some of the best money I have ever spent. You are not just getting a through report, you are getting an education. I can guarantee that anyone who uses Al will give him the highest recommendation and will have an accurate idea of what they are getting themselves into with a house. The world needs more professionals like Al. He is passionate and brilliant.

Wonderful interaction with this company from start to finish. I called in a panic about issues with my basement, and was pleasantly surprised by how helpful, and honest Al was! He allayed my fears and answered all of my questions patiently! I would definitely recommend them to anyone with foundation issues or leaking.

I think the best compliment I can give Al are the comments the two brokers made after the inspection. They agreed they would not refer him to their clients because he was too thorough but would be calling him if they purchase a home!

As a first time homebuyer, Al was the best person to hire to perform a house inspection! He is an extremely knowledgeable engineer and meticulous in what he do. His end product was a thorough inspection report with pictures. Even my lawyer was impressed by his work and mentioned that the report was going to help me to negotiate for a better price. If you need an exceptional engineer to inspect your soon to be dream home, look no further because Al is the guy you need. He works for you and not the restate agent who’s looking for a quick sale. I know for a fact I will will hire Al again in th near future. Hence, without reservations I recommend his company.

Examined My Chimney from up there!I never realized what a competent Engineer was supposed to do.al has set the bar very high.You will absolutely get more than you ever expected.and he was courteous at all times. He must have taken about an hour and a half.Some of it just answering my questions.I will recommend Al to My Family and any one who needs a Great Engineer.Tom Hicksville N.Y.

Al was recommended to me and I am thankful he was all I hoped he would be for my first home inspection. He was professional, patient and extremely thorough. He took the time to point out everything, both positive and negative. I received his report the same day as promised. He also took the time I needed after the report was sent to clarify and answer any additional questions I had. I would DEFINITELY recommend and use him again without hesitation. He knows what hes doing and does it well!!

Al inspected two homes for us and truly saved us from a complete nightmare! He was very professional, efficient and thorough. Al was very patient with all of our questions and answered them honestly. I did not know where to begin to look for an engineer on long island once the seller accepted our offer. After looking around online, I saw so many positive reviews on google and i decided to take the chance and called Al. I was so happy to have found Al and I plan on recommending him to anyone who needs an engineer in the area. We got the report back very quickly (the next day) and were able to use it as leverage to get the purchase price down a bit. I also appreciated that Al will give you a rough estimate of how much it will cost to fix something that is wrong with the home. As someone who had never been through this process and had no idea what to expect, Al was very informative and knowledgeable and i emphatically trust him. Al is the best!!

Al was the easiest and most ethical person I dealt with through the whole home buying process. Al is a great engineer with the best deal and had a good attitude with great knowledge. I stumbled on Al through a Google search, I made the right decision by choosing him. Al had a lot of patience with me during the walk through, he answered any questions we had. He was very thorough and provided me with tons of information to provide my broker. Als report was professional looking which also included color photos and full descriptions of the findings. He saved me from purchasing one condo that would of been a headache, I choose to use him a again for another condo Im looking to purchase.

A great job was done with time taken to explore the home we were purchasing. Very detailed and quick delivery on our home inspection report. Al took the time to explain everything to us and ensure we were equipped with the information we needed. A real professional.

Thank You Al for your service and expertise! You are very thorough and take pride in what you do and it shows. We feel confident moving forward into our first home with your inspection and knowledge. Thank you so much, Christian and Monica

Al is very professional engineer/inspector. He inspects the house very detail, willing to educate and answer your questions. I had Al inspected two houses within one month, every time he spent over two hours and found out the problems for inspecting a single family house. Al also provide you the report every quick, and able to provide the suggestions for repairing and the cost.I have no doubt will referral Al to someone I know.Al 是一个非常专业，仔细的 inspector，请他是明智的。

I found al by doing some research for a PE online and after reading all his reviews I knew he was the guy to use for a home inspection for a home my husband and I are buying. He was great! Very focused on detail and really knew his stuff! I brought my dad with me since my husband was working and my dad is super analytical and asked many questions and al was able to answer all of them and was well educated in all areas. I would recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable, honest professional engineer to do your home inspection for a potential buy!

To Al Triolo. Thank you very much for such a professional and well done job. Your report and observations were detailed and to the point. We appreciated all your suggestions and the knowledge you shared with us. You have made us a bit more confident about the home ownership process and we would be very happy to recommend you to anyone we know who would be buying a home.

My realtor wanted me to use someone she recommended, but I insisted otherwise. I found Al online and after speaking with him, I knew he he was the engineer for me. He was so meticulous in his report, I was able to negotiate a better price. Thanks again!

Al is a great asset to have when buying a home. He came on time, and spent over two hours inspecting the home thoroughly inside and out. Al, you did a great job! I will definitely recommend you to all my friends.

I have now used Al twice. He is very knowledgeable. He doesn’t just glance over things. He takes his time and pays attention to the details. The first home we had inspected had a pre inspection done and Al found things that were never mentioned in the pre inspection. I will definitely be recommending him to all my family and friends.

Thank you so much for your help today. We sincerely appreciate it. Youll definitely get recommendations from us to anyone in need of your services

Thank you so much for your report. Youve done a great job! We will definitely keep you in mind and to recommend to friends & family.

Working with Al Triolo has been a truly wonderful experience. He is professional, patient and personable, while not too pricey. Al first inspected a house for us and uncovered many hidden issues that we would never had thought to look for. In doing so, he saved us many years of headaches and costly repairs. (As his business card accurately proclaims, he wont let you buy a lemon.) Als experience helped us further as we continued the search for a house, as we were now armed with knowledge and vision. His second inspection for us was just as thorough, with more positive results (proving he is just as good a teacher as he is an engineer). Would definitely work with him again and recommend him to anyone.

Al Triolo is extremely professional and honest. He was on time, and evaluated the house and property very thoroughly. And along the way he explained everything. Al is the 2nd inspector we hired for our new home and he found so many things that the first inspector didn’t find. His prices are fair, and turned over a detailed report within 24 hours. If we ever need to hire an inspector again, we’ll definitely call Al!Thank you so much!-Ann + Patrick McGowan

Al was very professional, detailed and informative in the whole inspection process and made my wife and I feel more comfortable in making the decision to purchase our first house. The first house we used Al for was a house we fell in love with and almost bought but did not end up buying because Al was able to detect multiple issues in the house that we were not made aware of. Also from the pictures below, my wife did not want Al to inspect a certain portion of the house because it looked unsafe and it didnt matter to Al because he wanted to make sure he checked every inch of the house to make sure we would be able to make our best judgement on whether or not to purchase the house. I would like to recommend Al to anyone who is in the market for a home!!!

Al Triolo did my home inspection on June 2, 2012 in the North Shore of Long Island. He is excellent. Detail oriented, very professional, very well educated on what he does. I found that he was cheaper than the home inspector that I was going to get that didnt even have an engineering degree. He turned around the report in less than 24 hours. I would highly recommend him.

AL IS SIMPLY THE BEST! I took some time going through online reviews until I found Al. One discussion with him on the phone and I know he was the right man for the job. Al was able to walk me through the whole house and answer any questions that I had. He pointed out things to look out for and explained everything he was doing while doing it.His inspection prevented me from buy a house that was completely misrepresented to me. His report came in less than 24 hours and was very detailed to include pictures. Like his business card say, I will not let you buy a lemon and his inspection did exactly that. He even called me the next day to reemphasize something that he had just remembered. I look forward to working with him in the future when I find my next potential home.
