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).
