- What sets me apart from other top inspectors is rather than spending 2-1/2 to 3 hrs. merely documenting the home's structure, systems, and components, and identifying deficiencies and potential problems; I focus upon teaching you about the home. Yes, it will be me, not a (surprise) employee, who will be serving you. Rather than simply enabling you to make informed decisions regarding your contract to purchase, I am enabling you to understand the specifics of your future home, which thereby enable me to teach you how to operate its systems most efficiently, reduce your energy costs, and how to maintain your home and protect your investment. You needn’t ask if you can accompany me and ask questions — I will arrive about an hour before you to set up my program, and document exterior conditions. Upon your arrival we will enter, conduct a detailed orientation, then inspect the home together. During which I’ll explain everything and answer any questions you may have. When we’ve completed inspecting, we’ll review the draft of the upcoming report, so you’ll know what issues will be in the report before we leave. Please be prepared to spent 4 hours with me. Why hire an inspector whose services merely meet Licensing and Certification minimum requirements which focus only upon protecting your contractual needs by identifying deficiencies and concerns? When for the same investment, you can participate in an LBI Education Inspection which in addition to providing you with a more comprehensive report, also teaches you all about the property, answers your questions, and provides a report created to serve as an informative manual similar to what is in the glove box of your vehicle.
""Mark was AMAZING! I know so much about my new home. He paid attention to detail and answered every question I had with no problem. I would call him for help again with no hesitation.""

"We found wires run on the surface of drywall after the inspection. We found unsealed walls that attached to the garage, where carbon monoxide would come in and we found water damage that, was obvious when viewed on the surface. The property is a 5000 sq foot house, so maybe he was overwhelmed. It is my opinion that Adam is what's wrong with the home inspection industry and we would absolutely not work with him again. Keep looking."

For over 35 years, American Home Contractors has provided exterior household services and upgrades across Maryland, Washington DC, and Northern Virginia. American Home takes great pride in ensuring customer satisfaction and commits to delivering the highest quality of work when renovating any home.
"American Home Contractors and Hugo in particular were great to work with. We had multiple jobs done which required several trips and Hugo kept us informed and worked around several weather delays. He relocated and installed a new attic fan, hooked up the bathroom fan to a new roof vent, insulated a pipe in the attic, installed apron flashing on four windows, painted the flue vent, reconnected some lose siding and replaced three pieces of rotted trim and painted it. The work appears to be top notch and we appreciate the hard work and long hours Hugo put in! I would definitely recommend this company and most certainly Hugo to everyone. We also had American Home Contractors replace our gutters and install gutter guards. They did an excellent job with that as well."

DMV Heating & Cooling is a family owned-and-operated business that has been providing outstanding high quality residential and commercial service. Serving D.C, MD, & VA. Available 24/7. Our technicians are licensed and highly qualified to tackle any air conditioning and heating problem.
"You should not be in business, and you will be reported to the better business bureau. December 8, 2023: DMV HVAC was assigned via Choice Home Warranty to diagnose and hopefully fix heating. After about 10 minutes of them being there I was asked to come to HVAC unit so they could show me something: Upon presentation I was informed the motor was broken, explaining this to me in an already aggressive tone. Pointing things out like I know anything about HVAC system…. That’s why I called. He then proceeded to accuse another company of recently putting the motor in wrong, that he is not responsible, and that he would not get paid?…. THEN he accused me of hiding information about the motor… like I was trying to get something over on him? Stating that it was changed recently. When I informed him I have lived here for 10 years and never had heater problems he rolled his eyes and “said come on man”…. Again… like I am trying to hide something from him? THIS IS WHEN THINGS GOT SCARY: I didn’t know how to respond to his accusations and aggressive tone other than saying a saying “what the F dude” with my hands up in the air in defeat and shock. This individual gets a very concerned look in his eye, starts yelling at the top of his lungs at me. Saying I can’t cuss as him, as he himself continued to drop F bombs, getting frontal like he was about to physically attack me… while my 3 year old son is sleeping on the couch in hearing distances- and my wife on top of the stairs with 911 on standby trying to figure out why a stranger is verbally assaulting me in our own home. I somehow mustered all my strength to not react with physical violence, because with already displayed concerning behavior I was confident I was going to be attacked, and if I didn’t deescalate the situation like I did, I guarantee a physical altercation would have insued. They then said we owe a payment fee via Zelle….? Asked how we could get invoice for documentation and to show landlord. Was informed we could only get invoice when complete service was complete…. We did not proceed with this transaction. After the aggressive man left did some digging on this company. All positive reviews are fake… they reply to other people’s negative comments like “wrong company”. They have notes about others being old they have to make a Zelle payment, with no follow up or conclusion of work. It’s all a scam and I have never been concerned for my safety of a service call… absolutely insane"

It’s important to get a home inspection when buying a home because home inspectors are trained to examine the various aspects of a home to determine that everything is in good condition and find unseen problems that current homeowners need to fix before the home sale takes place. Although home inspections are not legally required, a thorough inspection can help you decide if you want to purchase a home. That’s why it’s essential to keep a home inspection contingency so that you have the option to walk away from the sale if the home inspection reveals expensive issues.
A home inspection typically includes the home inspector conducting a thorough visual examination of essential home structures and mechanical components. Afterward, the inspector will provide a home inspection report that relays descriptions of damage or other findings for the homeowner to review.
Home inspectors will examine the following home areas and features:
Plumbing
Electrical
Foundations
Roof
Windows and doors
Overall condition of interior and exterior
HVAC systems
Attics
Basements or crawl spaces
Major built-in appliances
Typically, a licensed and certified local home inspector conducts home inspections. Real estate agents often work closely with trusted home inspectors. Licensing requirements vary from state to state for home inspectors, but they must have local certification and valid insurance. Many licensed home inspectors belong to professional associations like the American Society of Home Inspectors.
Typically, the home buyer pays for the inspection by hiring a home inspector. This method helps you make an informed decision about a home’s condition before purchasing it. Home sellers can also conduct their own home inspection to ensure that they are getting the best price for their home and property.
On average, home inspections cost about $350, ranging from $200 to $500, depending on the home’s size, age, and location, plus any specialty inspections required. Additional cost factors include testing for asbestos or conducting thermal imaging tests to find infestations, checking energy efficiency, and looking for structural or electrical problems. If your home is more than 2,000 square feet, you can expect to pay $400 or more.
