Paul Besmertnik has personally performed over 4,200 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.

This is written by the owner, Paul Besmertnik. I am very proud that have just finished my 41st years of inspecting homes. AS a graduate of Cooper union with a civil engineering degree, my qualifications are not matched by any other inspector on LI. Most are non engineers, and just took a 160 hours class from BOCES. Many have inherited the business and no little about inspecting homes. And many have to do 3 or 4 a day and can't spend much time with you. I only do one a day, and once I am there, time is no issue with me. Thank you for reading this.
