About us

Residential Home Inspector serving New York and Pennsylvania. We specialize in antique homes and know how to properly inspect post & beam homes--some from the Revolutionary War era that are 300 years old! At a time when most inspectors tell their clients to stay away until the end of the inspection, we highly encourage our clients to attend the entire inspection and to engage with all their questions. This is because we don't just see ourselves as home inspectors, but as professional consultants. When defects or issues are found, we will fully explain them, and we'll explain what typical remediation techniques or options are. Your inspection is your opportunity to learn about the home you are considering buying. Everything prior to the inspection only highlights the good points and features of the home. We're trained to look deeper and further.

Preston was recommended to us, and within about five minutes of walking the property with him I understood why. He’s one of those rare people with both deep expertise and very high ethical standards. He doesn’t just point at problems; he gives context—how and why the house was built, what’s typical for that era, and what you might need to plan for over the next few years. You can tell he genuinely wants people to make informed decisions, not get scared or pressured. No drama, no upsell, just honest information in plain English. He answered every question, never rushed us, and his sense of humor made a stressful process surprisingly enjoyable. I’m sure other inspectors in the area are fine, but I honestly don’t know why you’d pass on Preston when his public body of work is so substantial and his track record is proven. Five stars, no question.

Preston did a great job with our inspection. We are moving from a southern state to upstate NY and had a lot questions about what we should know regarding winter weatherization and preparation. He was patient and took his time explaining the things he found and potential remediation. I would absolutely recommend him to others (and in fact, I already have). He is clearly knowledgeable and passionate about old homes and wants anyone considering purchasing one to know the pros and cons and how to improve them without losing their historical significance and integrity.

Missed so many violations. Left a Google review and he replied by saying that my review was fake. Looked in Better Business Bureau site and found he has no rating. I'm filing a BBB complaint and looking at other options to try and get my money back and to have his license revoked. No one should have to put up with the way this company does business and takes people's hard earned money!!
Response from Kincaid Services
"This is not a real client. The first big clue is the word "violations" because [Provider Name Removed] does new build inspections which is primarily code inspection looking for code violations. I'm a home inspector who specializes in vintage and antique homes, which has very little to do with code. Literally zero of these homes meet modern code. The second big clue is the reference to the BBB, which is primarily a builder reference. We have zero new builds or housing developments in my entire region, and no home inspectors use or are listed on the BBB. Don't believe this nonsense. This is a social media attack from someone who targets me with lies in his posts. Here's the truth: [Link Removed] [Provider Name Removed], owner of [Provider Name Removed] in Phoenix, Arizona, engages in harassment, defamation, & unfair business practices that have caused significant harm to my business. For more than 2 years, he has used his social media presence, spanning over a million followers to target me with misleading and defamatory content. His videos contain false and damaging statements, including blatant lies, libel, and slander, which incite his followers to take harmful actions against my business. Over the last two months I have been subjected to a coordinated attack of fake negative Google reviews, which are severely impacting my business's reputation. Additionally, he has used his Google review responses to specifically name my company falsely claiming that I encourage others to leave him negative reviews. This is entirely untrue."

He missed a lot of issues. I got a second inspector to come out after him and found 25+ issues he had missed. He only found a handful of issues, nothing like our second inspector. If you want a quick inspection for a decent price go with him but if you want a thorough inspection: try someone else that will take the proper time to look for everything and document. So glad we did not close without the second inspector.

Preston was very thorough. When he was all done with his inspection, he asked "what else would you like me to look at, I've got all day". He was not rushed at all. Took his time and I'm very satisfied with the work he did.

Preston K was very efficient and thorough. Certainly helped me to decide to pursue the purchase of a home that I had doubts about. He offered quite a few recommendations to abate a few issues that I had. An excellent resource.

Mr. Kincaid was great from start to finish. He responded to my inquiry within 10 minutes. He was very straightforward about his services and prices. He was very flexible with scheduling a time to do the inspection. I had never had a home inspection done before so I didnâ t know what to expect. He was more than happy to answer all of my questions (regardless of how silly that may have been). He was very thorough and I had my report promptly as promised. The next day he even called to make sure that I understood everything and to ask if I had any questions. I will absolutely use kincaid services in the future and recommend him to friends and family.
