"From the grand Victorians of Westfield and Plainfield to the hillside homes of Summit and the classic colonials of Cranford — Frank Frasco brings 32 years of construction experience and a builder’s eye to every Union County inspection."
Union County is one of New Jersey’s oldest and most established suburban counties, packed with character-rich housing and classic downtowns. It’s home to the grand Victorians of Westfield and Plainfield, the hillside homes of Summit and Berkeley Heights along the Watchung Mountains, the walkable colonials of Cranford and Scotch Plains, and the dense urban neighborhoods of Elizabeth, Linden, and Roselle. From 19th-century Victorians to 1920s colonials to newer townhomes, the county carries more than a century of building styles. Frank Frasco Home Inspections LLC — owned and operated by Frank Frasco, a New Jersey Certified Real Estate Inspector (#24GI00157300) and InterNACHI Certified Professional Inspector with 32 years of construction experience — inspects homes throughout Union County and all of Northern New Jersey.
Frank has inspected homes of every kind across Union County — from ornate Victorians in Westfield and Plainfield and hillside homes in Summit and Mountainside, to classic colonials in Cranford, Garwood, and Scotch Plains, and multi-family and older housing in Elizabeth and Linden. His 32 years in the construction trades give him a true builder’s eye, and every inspection follows the InterNACHI Standards of Practice and the standards of the State of New Jersey. Because Frank does every inspection himself, you get his full experience on your home.
Buying or selling in Union County comes with the challenges of an older, established housing stock. The county’s prized Victorians and pre-war colonials in Westfield, Plainfield, and Cranford often carry buried oil tanks, knob-and-tube wiring, older plumbing, and asbestos-era materials behind their period charm. The Watchung Mountain communities — Summit, Berkeley Heights, Mountainside — carry elevated radon potential, while the Rahway River corridor through Cranford and Rahway has a well-known history of flooding. Mature trees, aging roofs, and finished basements that can hide moisture are all part of what Frank examines closely on Union County homes.
That’s exactly why Union County homeowners and agents choose Frank Frasco. You get a New Jersey Certified Real Estate Inspector (#24GI00157300) and InterNACHI Certified Professional Inspector with a builder’s background, a clear and detailed report with photos delivered within 24 hours, radon testing and underground oil tank scans available right alongside your inspection, and an inspector who personally walks the home with you and gives honest advice. Frank also offers a 10% discount to military members and first responders. Call or text Frank at 201-815-6508 to schedule your Union County inspection.

"Frank performed our home inspection this morning at the home we are purchasing in Randolph. He was friendly, helpful, and thorough. He walked with us through the entire house, explaining things that aren't necessarily immediate issues, but may need to be replaced. He pointed out issues that would need immediate fixing. His honesty and helpfulness were genuine. He was an excellent help and did a great job. Would recommend him to anyone looking for an excellent home inspector!"
"Frank did an outstanding job with the home inspection we requested. He was referred by a friend, and we couldn't be happier with the inspection & report we received. He was very thorough when inspecting the property. He answered any questions we had during the inspection & days after when we reached out. The report was detailed and precise, and we had it within a day! I would highly recommend him to anyone looking to get a home inspection."

Answers to the most common questions Union County homeowners ask before scheduling a home inspection.
Absolutely — they’re a Union County signature. Frank’s 32 years in construction make him especially comfortable with the Victorians and pre-war colonials of Westfield, Plainfield, and Cranford, including knob-and-tube wiring, older plumbing, and dated systems.
Yes. Many older Union County homes once heated with oil, and abandoned underground tanks can be a costly liability. Frank offers an underground oil tank scan to help locate buried tanks before you close.
It’s recommended, especially in the Watchung Mountain communities of Summit, Berkeley Heights, and Mountainside. Radon is odorless and only detectable with a test — Frank offers certified radon testing right alongside your inspection.
In spots, yes. The Rahway River corridor through Cranford and Rahway has a history of flooding. Frank looks closely for signs of past water intrusion, grading and drainage problems, and basement moisture.
Within 24 hours. Frank delivers a clear, detailed report with photos, usually the same day or the next — so you’re never left waiting on a deadline.
