Mark is a great and honest man and helped with my service requested. This is the kind of place that…read moresaves you from wasting money and instead gives you real guidance on what actually needs to be done. I was impressed by how much knowledge Mark freely shared with me. He took 30 minutes to explain everything I needed to do, saved me over $1,000, and asked for nothing in return. People like this are rare to find. Give him a call!!! You will not regret it

I cannot recommend Jim enough. His inspection vas incredibly thorough and informative, which was…read moreimportant to me as a first time home buyer. He spent several hours not only providing feedback on the state of the various systems in the home, but explaining why certain things should be a certain way. When anything was not as it should be, he helped me understand the path forward. The home was not in perfect condition and several major components needed work, but Jim's feedback gave me the information and reassurance I needed to move forward.

We used Tory with Protect the Investment for our home inspection. The inspection day itself seemed…read morethorough and Tory seemed very knowledgeable, and he found a couple interior issues that were helpful for us after we closed on the house. We paid extra for a mold test that would take a couple of days, but after a couple of weeks, never heard back with the results. Our realtor had to reach out to Tory as we were WALKING IN to our closing appointment to have him send the mold test results. Then, a few months after moving in, we found out that there was a pretty significant issue with the roof - and no photos of the roof on our inspection report. We've attempted to get in contact with Tory several times, at several phone numbers and emails, over the past 3+ to ask if he has any additional photos of the roof from our inspection that he didn't include on our report and have gotten no reply. While they did fly a drone up to look at the roof during the inspection, apparently they did not look very closely, go up on the roof, or take any photos. We would not recommend trying to work with Tory or PTI.

It's been a year since I used Enlighten for my home inspection and after $30,000 worth of repairs…read morethat keep pilling up, I finally decided that I needed to warn people and write a public review. I trusted Enlighten as a first time home buyer and they missed extremely expensive and costly repairs. First, there was clear evidence of a mice infestation with poop and rat poison everywhere in places I know Enlighten checked and we quickly realized this after moving in and needing to call an exterminator. Our dryer was broken and didn't actually dry and our washing machine was so full of mold if you truly looked that we had to replace both in the first month. Our subfloor has very prominent soft spots and may have water damage but the only way to confirm is to rip up all our beautiful flooring and pay thousands. Our water heater's expansion tank is 12 years expired, 30 lbs full of sediment and in an extremely dangerous free hanging position on pvc pipe. Our dishwasher had been pouring steam into the wood cabinets and leaking through the wood floors for years that the wood is breaking apart and extremely water damaged in the kitchen. Light switches were sparking and plugs aren't secure to the wall. Our bathroom shower head is leaking behind the plate and into the wall - we noticed because if you turn on the shower you can see water pushing through the plate. This is just some of the items they've missed and the $30,000 doesn't even include all of the fixes for all of this! The items they did point out they grossly underestimated the going rate of repairs so items we were told could be a quick $50 fix from a handy man, no one would do for less than $250, IF THAT. I feel like I've officially bought into a massive money pit thanks to Enlighten. I negotiated hard with the sellers for inspection rights to ensure I didn't end up in this predicament given how expensive homes are in the DMV and here I am, where all my additional funds are going to fixing up this place. I knew being a homeowner would come with maintenance costs but these are costly repairs that could have been easily avoided if Enlighten cared to actually inspect. DO NOT USE THEM.

These folks were amazing…read more Enlighten did our home inspection for our first home in DC and they were not only professional and communicative but extremely gracious with explaining every detail to us. Zach was a standout guy who was patient and down-to-earth. He essentially showed us how to use our new appliances as he checked everything lol. He even gave us tips on some common issues to look out for and some ways to mitigate those issues ahead of time. Of course, sometimes the advice was to call a licensed professional within that specialty re: things like the chimney's working condition. All in all, we had a super smooth experience with them and would definitely recommend Enlighten to anyone who needs a fair and thorough home inspection.

Even though am not in the best of moods, one thing is for certain. Marc is the man I'll call for any home inspection. He will be doing these for family and friends. The coworkers I like also. Having fun there, but he didn't just deliver. He performed with a high quality of standards, professionalism, and also helped my realtor and I understand complicated systems in lay person language. This is a talent a lot of bright folks don't have, but Marc is personable, honest, and shares what he finds or doesn't in a transparent manner. His report was well written. Going to take a couple days off on the home hunt, but Marc will be doing as many as I need until a seller agrees to my offer. It takes a lot to impress me. I watch body language, words, and a host of other attributes when making a decision about a person. Marc is incredibly passionate about inspecting homes well. I felt extremely informed, and secure putting down the offer. He also went to extra lengths, to clear up a concern my family thought they saw in a picture. Thank you FSI and Marc. Rarely do I give a five star review, as am not sentimental nor generally in the mood to stake my reputation to someone or a company. Marc is now my home inspector, and if you want an experienced professional gentleman, you'll be well served hiring him. Thank you Marc and FSI, and you've shown a single dad and homebuyer, that it's peace of mind hiring you.

At the outset, the situation was a bit unusual. We are renting this home with an option to…read morepurchase. So we wanted an inspection to know if there was any pressing issues with the home before we made a decision on the option. So we didn't want a typical home sale inspection, nor is this review reflective of that type of service. Let's start with the good. This company is very easy to communicate with. They are responsive and easy to reach out to. Joseph (who conducted the inspection) is also very personable. He did a thorough review of the home and even gave us some thoughts on how we might re-design, paint or structure the rooms in our house. Finally, the price was great, He understood the unique needs of my situation and adjusted it to a reasonable rate. My big issue came after the inspection. I negotiated the receipt of a report prior to the inspection as the landlord would need a copy. I had to continuously follow up on this after the inspection and then ask him to add issues he identified that I had written in my own notes but were not included in the report. Although I finally got a report, it took a lot of effort on my end to receive it (and it was a bit less comprehensive than I hoped for).
