About Us

About Us

We offer reliable, professional and thorough home inspections to Maryland, Virginia and DC agents, home buyers and home owners.

Our inspectors are certified by the American Society of Home Inspectors (ASHI), and are licensed and insured.

Our comprehensive and user-friendly reporting system offers clients a simple, easy-to-read inspection report, along with useful insights. This reporting system allows us to:

  • Put your property into perspective by comparing it with its peers.
  • Summarize major areas of concern and significant qualities of the property.
  • Identify potential remodeling problems.
  • Note amateur workmanship or substandard maintenance.
  • Detail the maintenance for all components of the house.
  • List problems in major and minor groupings (generally, major problems are defined as constituting a safety hazard or that cost $500 or more to repair).

  • Chris did a great job. He was very thorough and his written report, which was on the web with detailed photos made it very clear which items need to be fixed. I would highly recommend his services.

  • Highly recommend Chris from Sprout Home Inspections! As a first time buyer, I really appreciated the time and patience he showed as he walked through everything and entertained my questions. I learned a lot through the inspection process - both about my new place, and home maintenance suggestions in general!

  • Chris is an exceptional home inspector. This is not our first time purchasing a property so we’ve met lots of inspectors— he is by far the most thorough and knowledgeable yet also quite efficient. Would not hesitate to recommend him to others. He stands far above the rest and takes pride in his work. Had the report within several hours as well with detailed photos and video. A true professional.

  • Chris gave me a thorough and comprehensive report that will help me in the final steps of my home construction. And he went beyond the scope of the report by showing me how my home works, the things I should do to protect and take care of my home and lots of great advice. I highly recommend Sprout Home Inspections.
