Very thorough inspection and covered everything I needed. Well done would use them again!

We hired ATLAS for a home inspection to help us identify problem areas for repair and maintenance in our older home. Ed Snope came highly rated, and he surpassed my expectations. He was so thorough in his review, and patient in his explanations. I learned so much about our home that we've lived in for over a decade. The inspection was reasonably priced and the report was detailed and very timely. I only wish I had hired him sooner. read more

I can't say enough good things about Ed and Atlas. He did an outstanding job with both the pre-drywall and final inspections on our new construction. He's extremely thorough and knowledgeable, and the report ensured we got all of the critical fixes done and then some. Ed's work impressed even the builder. read more

ATLAS Home Inspection - Home Inspectors Near Me - Arlington, Virginia

Ed did great job done. Very detailed, and on time. Strongly recommend. I took 10 hours to finish all part. really low his report.

We've been so happy in our home that ATLAS inspected for us. The inspection allowed us to move confidently into offer and closing.  Couldn't be happier - the house is lovely and is in very good condition, and we knew this due to the inspection. Thanks again for your professionalism and thoroughness.  We will continue to keep you in mind for referrals without hesitation. read more

After going under contract I hired Ed/Atlas to do a home inspection on a new build in North Arlington. I almost thought.... it's a brand new house, do I really need an inspection!? Wow am I glad I did. Ed arrived early, and spent 5 hours completing a detailed inspection leaving no item unturned. Worth every penny. He took the time to show me things I would never have thought about that a normal homebuyer would miss. He was professional and delivered a detailed 50 page report with pictures and details. To me, I felt like a informed buyer with an inspector on my side. I am sure the builder wasn't thrilled with the defects being called out but it was relevant data presented with picture evidence and what needed to happen to rectify. From Fyi to minor to major. Simple and straight forward. My last 2 cents..... I never thought about being present for a home inspection. However I feel I know the home intimately now and Ed took the time to explain how so much works. Best investment I could have made for sure. Maybe the highest compliment I can give Ed/Atlas is if the builder won't fix the defects hoping another buyer will hire a lesser inspector in the future, I'll hire Ed to inspect my next house I place an offer on. read more

ATLAS Home Inspection - Ed inspecting and explaining every detail on my prospective home purchases - Home Inspectors Near Me - Arlington, Virginia

Ed has been an incredible help to us in our house search. In a market where inspection contingencies are often waived, I was especially nervous about buying a house without being able to do a proper thorough inspection. We hired Ed for 5 pre-offer walkthroughs over the course of our house search and each time he demonstrated his thoroughness, professionalism, and expertise. We often had only an hour for these walkthroughs and Ed made sure we got the most out of that time. He is great at quickly finding the major issues that you want to be aware of for a house and giving you a good plan for how to address each issue. His expertise is well worth the price when purchasing a home. read more

Highly recommend Ed to do an inspection.. Do not hesitate in investing in Atlas Home inspection for your home inspection. We have a two bedroom condo which was new construction and Ed methodically went through each room and pointed out every single issue that we might want to bring up with the builder. Not only did he go over the condo with a fine tooth comb, he also showed us things that we needed to do as maintenance on a yearly and monthly basis to keep things running in perfect condition. We chose Ed because of his reviews and we were not disappointed. He was on time, he was honest and he was a pleasure to deal with. You will not be disappointed. read more

Great to work with! We always think of home inspections for buying a house but I hired Atlas to get an honest assessment before I went and spent a ton of money on repairs. He was on time, very diligent, and gave us peace of mind on what type of work actually needed to be done and ballparks one the cost. Tom read more

Ed did a very thorough home inspection and was very knowledgeable. Although I did the inspection after buying, I am extremely happy I did. Ed found issues I would have never known about. He gave a professional report. I'd highly recommend! read more

I was having some issues with my roof and getting conflicting reports from the insurance company and roofing contractors. Contacted Ed to get a third party unbiased opinion on the matter and I am glad I did it. Ed's expertise helped me understand exactly what the problem was and that information was key when talking to roofing contractors. I was able to understand my options and best way to move forward repairing the roof. This newly gained knowledge helped me push back to the contractors claiming that I needed a new roof, which I did not, and actually address the problem in hand. read more

Ed is professional and thorough. One of his first questions he asked is if I had children and what are my main concerns. I never had an inspector ask me that. He explained everything so that I would understand. He inspected items, I would have never thought to look at. As promised, his report was delivered the same day hours before I expected to receive it. The report was very well detailed. read more

The reviews say it all. We hired Ed to inspect a home for which we had put in an offer. Ed took his time to look at every inch of this home (that he had access to) and took care to explain things and give recommendations. As he would finish explaining sections of the house, he would pause to ask us if we had questions. He was informative and a clear communicator. As someone with zero experience in the home ownership game, I found him to be an expert who genuinely wanted to arm us with the knowledge of what makes a home safe/up-to-code. I also really liked when he explained where he lacked knowledge, i.e., structural issues where he suspected there may be a problem but explained that he didn't have that particular expertise to say for sure, or just didnt have the access to properly analyze. As many here have said, his report was thorough, detailed, and timely - we received it the following morning. In a separate email from the report, he also provided recommendations for contractors and other experts in their fields. His rates are not the lowest on the market, but I perceived Ed as an honest, informative, and thorough expert. I would absolutely recommend his services and hire him for any future inspections. read more

Fantastic service: Ed was great, pointed out everything that needed attention and was careful to distinguish must-do items from optional ones. Very patient and helpful in answering all of our questions. After the visit my wife said she felt like she learned so much--he explained a ton about how various systems operate that we hadn't known. Even if you're not planning on selling your home, a walk-through inspection is a great way to get an updated sense of how your house is working (or not), where risks might be, etc. Money absolutely well spent. read more

Very knowledgeable and thorough. Ed answered all my questions and is very professional. I highly recommend!!!

We used Ed for a home inspection a couple of weeks ago and were very pleased with his attention to detail and extremely detailed report. He was flexible with his schedule and very professional. We also appreciated the referral list that he provided at the end of the service. We would definitely use his services again should the need arise. read more

I was referred to Ed/ATLAS by my realtor to perform our pre-purchase home inspection. Wow, I couldn't have been happier. Ed arrived promptly and was very professional and courteous. Ed's inspection was EXTREMELY thorough. By thorough, I mean he identified and elaborated on things I wouldn't even have though twice about. Within the first few minutes, you can definitely tell Ed is an expert and very knowledgeable in what he does. Ed carefully and meticulously examined the entire home by checking every nook and cranny while explaining the whole process as he went through it. During the inspection, Ed would even offer tips and suggestions on how to remedy certain issues. By the end of the inspection, we were advised of any and everything about the house and what needed to be done. A few hours later, we were sent an extensive PDF report complete with photos of every issue found with the home no matter how important or unimportant it may have seemed. TLDR/Summary: I highly recommend Ed/ATLAS. You can't go wrong. Just look at the rest of the reviews. Worth every penny spent. Ed is your guy. read more

HIGHLY RECOMMEND. I hired Ed for a home inspection this week for an older home. As it was my first home inspection I was very nervous about the process and also what might be uncovered. I was put completely at ease because Ed was so thorough, patient, and knowledgeable about everything we were looking at. He encouraged me to ask questions and look closely at everything he was doing, answered all of my questions, and offered a lot of potential ideas and solutions for things he found wrong. He even fixed a crooked door handle while doing the inspection, leaving the place better than he found it! I feel I could have paid twice what I did and it still would have been a great value for all of the information I received. read more

I contacted Atlas Home Inspection to look at a house I had just put an offer on, and it was the best decision I could have made. Ed was completely professional, and thoroughly examined every room in the house as well as the exterior of the house, providing advice and recommendations along the way. He checked every appliance, every system, tested every window and door, checked every electrical outlet, and made sure all the sinks and toilets worked and weren't loose, and even tested the temperature of the hot water to make sure it wasn't scalding. He talked me through every step of his process, describing all the things about the house I should know before I moved in (such as where all the shutoff valves were), and also the severity and commonality of any problem he found. He let me look at everything he found and answered the many questions I had during the process. He identified potential safety concerns that I would never have thought about. I learned more about maintaining a home in the hours I spent with him than I have my entire life. Then in less than 24 hours, he produced a detailed report of all of his findings that included photographs with arrows pointing at what he described in the text. This allowed me to continue my negotiations with full knowledge of what I would be getting into. On top of all that he provided links to local contractors, products, and resources that I could access once I moved in. I can't say enough about how positive my experience with Atlas was. If I ever need a home inspector again, it will be Atlas Home Inspection. read more

Ed was thorough, explained things clearly and took time that other home inspection companies simply do not. I highly recommend Ed for all home inspection needs! read more

Don't trust anyone else other than Ed Snopes. He is the BEST!!he and his team were extremely thorough and pointed out so many things that needed to be addressed. He also gave us excellent recommendations for contractors to complete the work. read more

Mr. Snope is a phenomenal home inspector. He was incredibly knowledgeable and obviously an expert at what he does. He was extremely efficient and calm in the one hour we were allotted to evaluate the house. We left feeling prepared to make an offer. When we lost that offer and needed another home inspection, when we reached out to him and he was not able to do it, he very kindly suggested someone else. It was a pleasure to work with him. read more

I was very fortunate to have found and contracted with Ed (Atlas Home Inspection) to have my home inspected. I would highly recommend his services to anyone needing a home inspection. Ed's pricing was competitive, his pre-inspection information was very helpful, and he was prompt and on time for my scheduled appointment. He is very knowledgeable, professional, and personable. Ed's inspection was very detailed and meticulous. He patiently answered my many questions and explained potential solutions and remedies to me in layman's terms. Ed also noted whether each defect in the home should be addressed immediately, over time, or if it was optional. He promptly prepared the very detailed report and I will be able to use it to prioritize household projects and repairs. I can confidentially say that I learned more about residential dwellings from Ed during his inspection than I have over my last ten years of making home improvements. read more

Ed did a great job with our home inspection. I reached out to Ed to do a pre-purchase home inspection on a 2-bed condo in a pre-war building. He was so nice to move around his schedule to come on a Sunday to do the inspection. He was very thorough and explained all of the issues to us as he uncovered them during the inspection. He sent the inspection report to us via email less than 24 hours after the inspection. I think the best part of my experience with Ed is that he was willing to answer questions on the phone after the inspection 3+ times. The last time we spoke he said to not hesitate if I have more follow up questions. We will likely follow up with Ed to conduct a re-inspection after the items are fixed. I highly recommend! read more

Ed was fantastic: he was polite, timely, accessible, professional, thorough, and supremely knowledgeable. For a one-floor, relatively new build condo, Ed was incredibly thorough, spending over two hours examining every nook and cranny with an expert eye. He narrated his thoughts the entire time, and I learned more about maintaining a home in the hours I spent with him than I have my entire life. After only three hours, we were sent an extensive PDF report replete with detailed photos, not only detailing every and all issues found with the condo, but also providing extensive 'good to know' information. We were stunned at the report's detail and turnaround. If I ever need another inspection, I would absolutely call him again. read more

I asked Atlas to conduct a home inspection on a condo recently. Ed was great to work with. He was extremely thorough and patient. As he evaluated the home, he made sure to talk through the entire process to explain what something should or shouldn't look like. He also offered many helpful pointers as to where to access appliances and how often parts should be tested, maintained, and cleaned. He took many pictures throughout the process and was very knowledgeable if I had any questions for him. Additionally, Ed was able to get the report done the same day as the inspection which was great! Would definitely hire Atlas again after this positive experience. read more

As a homebuyer, you would probably like every inspector you meet. they find a number of issues, warn about so many things, and so on. Well, that's their job. How would you know if they missed something? How would you know if he is just a good inspector or a Jewel waiting to be found? I was fortunate enough to be recommended to go with Ed. And I had seen a previous inspection report that was taken just a few months ago on the same property. Ed found and educated me on so many more things. Two people were inspecting for about five hours. And yes he did not miss anything that the previous inspector found. Very clear comparison between good and the best. I hope this helps the readers. read more

I used Atlas twice for two different properties. Ed provided me with a clear explanation of everything in the house and really made me feel comfortable with everything in the house, including things that would save me money in the long run. The report that was provided was also very thorough and served as a great reminder for all the things that I want to change when I move in. Hes very knowledgeable and his rates are great as well. Would highly recommend to everyone in need of a home inspection. read more

As first time home-buyers, our Real Estate agent chose Ed for us from ATLAS Home Inspection. Ed was amazing. My husband commented that it felt like a beginner's homeowner's maintenance course (which we desperately needed). We understood so much more about our home-to-be and what needed to be fixed to make it perfect. He suggested products and services and gave us other considerations that have to do with actually living in our home regardless of what the city code needed to be. Every piece of advice that he gave us was in genuine desire for us to have an efficient, well-cared for, investment property that we could truly be safe and happy in. Ed cares a lot about his customers. I wish that he could have been with us while we walked through all the properties we were interested in. read more

I am extremely pleased with Ed and ATLAS Home inspections. Throughout my 4.5hr home inspection, Ed was very detail oriented and happy to answer all the questions I asked. He was professional at all times and truly seemed to have my best interest in mind. His knowledge was expansive to include items in the house that was close to 80years old. Following his inspection Ed send me a detailed and compresenhsive report laying out all of the items identified during the inspection. This report is very helpful with prioritizing repairs within my home. I will absolutely us Ed again when I need advice or home inspection services. read more

Ed is fantastic, he's incredibly thorough, very informative and pleasant to be around and talk to as he walks you through your inspection. He gives poignant explanation of any apparent issues, and possible underlying problems, as well as suggestions for remedying the issues. He's very knowledgeable and efficient, I highly recommend hiring him and he will surely be my go-to in the future! read more

I reached out to Ed for guidance on roofing materials as I'm considering a synthetic slate roof. He gave his two cents without charging me (for a two minutes on the phone). It genuinely seemed like he wants to help people. I really appreciate people and businesses like that. I would hire him to my home inspector if I bought a house in his catchment area. read more

We could not have asked for a better review of - and education on - our property. We were amazed at how much we learned as we went room by room while Ed explained what he was doing/checking - and why - and what it would mean to us as owners - what work needed to be done, items replaced, and repairs made. He was thorough and welcomed our questions. He differentiated findings on a scale ranging from major concerns to minor and documented them in a report provided the following day that included pictures, code explanations, and more. We are very satisfied customers. read more

It was my first time buying a condo, Ed did a really great job explaining the items that would need to be fixed throughout the home inspection. It was really helpful and he provided the report and a list of preferred vendors in a timely manner. I highly recommend calling him for your home inspection. read more

Wow, I was going to write a review before closing but here I am, almost a year later! This review is also prompted because I was trying to find the model number for an appliance. This is what makes Ed's inspection so great, he documented all the model number and serial number he can find! Looking back at the inspection report now, comparing it to what I've learned from living here, I can no doubt say Ed did a fantastic job stating the level of repair needed and estimate on item usage/lifespan. The tips he provided during the inspection was very valuable also. I would recommend and definitely book with Ed the next time a home inspection is needed. read more

Ed from Atlas Home Inspection helped us map urgent and longer term home repairs around our near one-hundred year old home. He was thorough, had constructive suggestions, and found more than a few things we need to address right now. Thanks, Ed! read more

My husband and I found Ed/Atlas from Yelp for a house inspection on a townhouse in Falls Church. Ed arrived earlier than the scheduled time and began inspecting as he walked up to the house. He took his time to look for every detail and explained all the whys and hows we had during the over three-hour inspection. His report is also very explicit and breaks down issues into the following ratings: major concerns, safety hazard, minor concerns, FYI, and OK. There are many pictures that give more ideas on how to deal with the issues. It was a very educational experience for us. You won't regret having him work with you. Definitely the best investment for the home buyers. read more

Our situation was a little unique in that we had already purchased our home, we completed a full renovation and basically wanted someone to come in and flag areas our builder may have over looked when completing the work. I reached out to Ed last minute and was lucky in that he had a last minute cancellation . Ed arrived and gave me a summary of what it was he would be doing, once Ed started the inspection he was sure to call me over for anything he wanted me to understand/take note of. Ed's inspection was very thorough and he discovered things that your typical home inspector wouldn't discover. Ed had no problem with hopping on the roof, climbing into the attic, and crawling under our front porch and back deck. Ed was professional throughout the length of the inspection. Our builder was working on exterior items and on a few different occasions came over to defend his work, & to state what Ed had found wasn't valid; Ed maintained his composure/professionalism and continued to speak directly to me and continue the inspection. The inspection began at 10:30 and ended around 3:30, the report received was very thorough and prioritized items that we should want remediated. Ed came back out to inspect the items our builder agreed to fix and my husband was very impressed with how thorough/detail oriented Ed was as well. As a consumer I was very appreciative of Ed and his inspection, as a realtor - I was very impressed and happy to had completed business with him. I look forward to referring clients, colleagues, as well as friends and family to him in the future. Would highly recommend! read more

Hired Ed for a one-year warranty inspection. He spent a good amount of time to conduct the walk through, where he provided detailed explanations around why certain things were they way they were. His report also identified each item in detail and provided reasoning for why it required a fix. The builder found his items to be reasonable and helped to fix up most of the items without issue. I would highly recommend Ed for future inspections. read more
