"Davon from NextDay Inspect did a very thorough inspection of the home. The day of Davon explained what to expect during the inspection, providing us a verbal summary as he completed review of each section of the home. The report he completed was detailed reiterating the issues he came across noting the risk to the home and health. The report also linked to clear photos of the issues."

"Chris was extremely knowledgeable in regards to any question that we asked. He was thorough in his inspection taking his time and often double checking. He communicated throughout the entire inspection all the while maintaining a pleasant and professional demeanor. He even took the time to sit down and address any question we had in addition to all the question we had already asked. He did not just tell us the answer in instances where he could show us he did so. Chris also provided us with a wonderful handbook. On the next day I called him after reading the report and he took the time to go over each item I did not understand. He made an otherwise nervous and stressful experience much easier. I would definitely hire this company again, as well as recommend to others."

"Chris is an amazing inspector - thorough, friendly, knowledgeable. He even pointed out recommendations for how to maintain items around the house. He also performed a septic inspection and he has top quality tools to perform that too. He was even able to locate the septic access points without any plans. This is the guy you want to inspect the biggest purchase of your life!"

"I called this company after seeing their deal and high ratings on Angie's list. They were able to come out the next business day and take care of my dryer vent. The lady I spoke with at the office was incredibly nice and helpful. She answered all my questions and got me scheduled quickly. She called the day of my visit and asked if they could move my appointment up due to some schedule changes, which was fine. The tech was about 10 minutes early, but didn't give me a hard time for not being home just yet; my window was at 2pm and I got home at about 1:55pm. He had started inspecting the exterior of the dryer vent while waiting for me and let me know there were no birds nests or obvious obstructions. After taking a look inside, he got to work and about 30-40 minutes later, my dryer vent was clean and my dryer has been working great since. Once he finished cleaning, he showed me some pictures of the dryer vent and how bad it was. Having recently moved from CA, he also let me know that you do not pay tax for labor in the state of VA and that fall was the optimal time to get dryer vents cleaned because the chances of birds creating nests right after you get your vent cleaned out is pretty low."

"I was beyond impressed and pleased with the service that Josh Meloney provided. He was extremely thorough and detailed in the inspection of my home. He was also very helpful in answering some questions that I had regarding certain areas of my home. Josh was also very prompt in sending over the report on the same day as my inspections. The format of the report was highly detailed and easy to follow, including pictures of the areas he inspected. I would highly recommend Josh Meloney and JA Inspection Services to anyone. His level of professionalism and expertise were exceptional and he was a pleasure to work with."

Home Inspection questions, answered by experts

These are some of the critical considerations when planning to make your home accessible:

  • How wide are your doorways, wheelchair ramps, hallways, and pathways? These should be at least 32 inches wide.

  • Which bathroom modifications will be necessary? 

  • Do you need to lower any cabinetry or other fixtures to make them accessible for wheelchair users?

  • Is there enough room to turn around in the shower?

  • Is there a second story of the home that requires a stair lift?

  • Is there proper lighting outside in the dark? If not, a floodlight may be necessary.

You’ll know you have smoke damage if you notice a lingering smoky odor, see soot or residue, or spot any discoloration of surfaces in your home. If you have any kind of house fire, always assume you have smoke damage and hire a professional who deals with smoke damage to assess the extent of the damage and restore your home to its pre-fire condition.

Yes, new home building inspections are just as important as inspecting older homes. They provide buyers with the chance to catch mistakes, like improper grading or faulty wiring, before they turn into problems. A new home inspection costs about the same as a standard inspection, typically between $280 and $400.

Checking for mold yourself is crucial, as catching mold in the early stages is ideal. Mold can appear green, brown, black, blue, or yellow. It can smell musty and can feel like velvet, leather, or cotton. 

Most often, mold grows near water damage. It’s best to inspect these places for signs of mold growth:

  • Basement: Look in corners, windows, carpet, closets, and around appliances. 

  • Bathrooms: Check around sinks, ceilings, and around toilets. 

  • Kitchen: Inspect around the sink, behind the refrigerator, and behind trash can.

  • Attic: Look near the insulation and near intake and exhaust vents.

You can look at the duct damper’s lever to see if it’s open or closed. If the lever is parallel to the duct, the damper is open. If it’s perpendicular, the damper is closed. Alternatively, you can hold your hand against vents throughout your home. If you feel air coming out, that damper is partially or fully open. No airflow likely means that the damper is closed.
