About us

- 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.

First off, Mark expects you to be present for the inspection. Not only does he inspect the home, but he will educate you on any aspect of home maintenance and repair, and he is very receptive to questions. At the end of the inspection, he hands you the original inspection paperwork, which is about 20 pages of organized notes, and a 120+ page home systems guide. All this is packaged in a very nice binder that will serve as a perfect reference for how to care for the home. Being mechanically inclined, my husband was looking forward to learning as much as he could about what to do for the home and he was not disappointed. The inspection took 5 hours, there was nothing left to chance or assumed, all areas of the exterior and interior of the house were examined. All appliances were tested, and all attic areas were entered. Mark was extremely professional, and exuded the attitude that this was an opportunity to teach my husband everything he could about the house. He gave off a very comforting feeling that he was working for us and not anyone else. Bottom line, there was only one issue that Mark didn?t feel comfortable signing off on and that was the electrical system. There were a total of 5 circuit breaker boxes in the house, installed at different times during different upgrades. Figuring out how to effectively shut off power to the house and whether all the electrical additions were within code was something Mark recommended an electrician look at. At the end of the inspection Mark went over all the notes line by line on the inspection again, and took any other questions that my husband had making sure that everything was perfectly clear. If you truly care to know if the house that you are buying is safe, as well as how to maintain it that way, you could ask for no better inspector than Mark Londner and LBI Home Inspection.
Description of Work: Mark Londner inspected a home that we are planning on closing on the end of this month. The home was built in 1954 and is approximately 2800 sq ft sitting on about .23 acres. It has a multi-level layout with 4 distinct floors. This will be the third home that we have purchased in our lives, first one in Virginia, and by far the best home inspection that we ever had.
