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).

  • Mr. Chris Lee completed our home inspection and we couldn't be more satisfied. Chris gave so much time and attention to each detail of the house. He was very patient, knowledgeable, and informative throughout the appointment. We felt great that we were in trustworthy hands, which made the home-buying process that much less stressful.

  • Chris is fantastic! He has done two home inspections for my family and was very thorough for both. He explained everything to us in detail and got the report to us quickly. At the end of each inspection I felt confident that I understood the condition of each house, what the necessary repairs were, and how urgent they were to complete. Very highly recommend Chris!

  • 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!

  • We were really impressed with Sprout. Chris took me throughout the house and property, explained what we was looking for, and showed me the items that were strengths of the home, as well as, pointing out future care and maintenance priorities. We had a question about a possible future modification to the home, and Chris even went the extra mile to help us get a second opinion. Overall, I was certainly satisfied, and I would recommend Sprout to others.

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.

  • We just bought a house, and we could not have had a better home inspector than Chris Lee at Sprout. High attention to detail, available at times that suited us (and at short notice), and full of helpful advice to keep our new home safe and sound. Would definitely call on him again!

  • I had the pleasure of having Chris do a home inspection. He is extremely professional, thorough, and knowledgeable. He was early to our appointment, and stayed to answer any and all questions, giving thoughtful answers to each, even though it prolonged his time with us. We never felt rushed throughout the inspection, though he had mentioned he had a few more appointments once we were finished. He is a fantastic home inspector and an all around great guy! Highly recommended!
