Paul Besmertnik has personally performed over 3,600 inspections since 1976. He is one of the few graduate Civil Engineers doing inspections on Long Island, with a Bachelor’s Degree in Civil Engineering from Cooper Union in NYC, one of the best engineering schools in the country, and has a Professional Engineers (PE) license. This allows him to discuss house structural deficiencies, something almost every other inspectors cannot do, as they are not a Professional Engineer. In fact, if you want or need a structural commentary, they will refer you to a Professional Engineer in their report, so you may pay double when you use a non-engineer.

His goal is to give buyers a comprehensive and unbiased visual property inspection to help them make confident buying decisions. Most of his inspections will take 2 to 3 hours, while most other inspectors may do it in half that time. His inspections take longer because they are more comprehensive.
