Paul Besmertnik has personally performed over 3,500 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.
