Greg (owner) was the one who answered and had me scheduled for the above services the very next day. Greg himself was the one who came out for the inspection. He was very thorough with his inspections and went over some general maintenance recommendations for items that were not an issue for the inspection but are important for the longevity of the home. He was always willing to answer my questions with advice and was not afraid to admit where I should consult a different expert. Most importantly, he did not try and sell me on any of his other services even when I asked if he would recommend taking further action on the home. He commented that it was self-serving and did not want to make a quick dollar that way. I would use Kemp Home Inspections again without a hesitation.

I would not know what to expect if I meet a structural engineer and home inspection agent. I needed an engineer to evaluate my home. I reached out to Kemp Home Inspections. Mr. Kemp showed with panache!! And communicated well with me. He took time to explain to me what was going on with my roof and what can be done to mitigate the situation. He had to come to my house the next day. He was on time (8am) and showed up in style. It was a good working experience. He is very knowledgeable. Friendly and has great taste in antique cars. I was impressed with his professionalism, depth of knowledge and personal engagement. What should you expect when you book Kemp Home Inspections? Great service with style!!!

He was able to find a number of items that we would not have seen, all of which the builder has said that they will correct. Harry's explanations of the items that he found were extremely clear and helped us in relaying the issues to our builder. Harry was able to add a significant level of peace of mind to a very stressful process and I cannot thank him enough for his help.

Raining in kitchen below was so fun! He also didn't get the radon testing done in time we needed. I am just stating my experience and am not a relator so have no vested interest either way. Edited to remove the pool leak and crack since he says he doesn't inspect pools (didn't realize that at the time or would have addressed it then, but buying a house with a pool has been a learning experience) :)

Bob seems to have a routine and can't deviate. The inspection was on a circa 1895 house and he…read moremissed many defects. Yes you are presented with "this is how things work" but he glossed over or did not cover many things that we had to fix post settlement. The house is heated by gas steam heat so he lit the boiler - then it was "ok that works". I had to suggest we leave the heat on to see that it actually delivered heat to each radiator - something that takes a while. In fact several radiators needed new valves. Like an upper porch railing that was not attached at the bottom and therefore just hanging by upper supports. Like a rear faucet that was not freeze proof and an uninsulated copper pipe under the porch that did not drain and required replacement by a plumber. And it was completely visable to the naked eye. Five missing locks on windows - steam a pipes in basement uninsulated - $2,900 to have insulated. He doesn't lack in confidence that's for sure. And it's misplaced. The agents involved felt that his process was cumbersome. Post settlement I received a "happy now you are a homeowner" email. I responded with a list of the things that he had missed and indicated that we were very disappointed. Guess what - never heard a word back. I was prompted to write this review 2 1/2 years later when I read today that his business is relocating to Frederick - our home town.

I recently had a home inspection, on an older house (it was built in 1900) in a rural area…read moreperformed by Bob (aka Mr.Bob) of Inspections by Bob. Bob, as promised, arrived on site about 23 minutes early for our 10 AM appointment time, which was perfect for me, because I was ready and waiting for him, and he promptly started his inspection after having introduced himself. I have a strong background, in terms of graduate level university studies and degrees, as well as actual work experience, in both the sciences and engineering, and this extensive technical background proved very useful and helpful in understanding many of the technical items and issues that Bod pointed out to me during his inspection of this admittedly very old house. Interestingly, it turns out that Bob too also has a strong engineering background, just as I do; he got his original Bachelor's degree in electrical/electronics engineering (EE) and a minor in mechanical engineering (ME), and with some additional training in lots of related areas. I found Bob to be very detailed and thorough in his inspection, and to be very knowledgeable as well on a wide variety of topics related to the inspection of a home. I was very impressed with his work. Bob was also very personable and friendly, and took plenty of time to explain many of his findings very carefully and succinctly. BTW, the price that I paid for the inspection was one that I feel was very fair and very reasonable. Incidentally, he spent 4.5 hours on site with me, far more than the nominal one hour that the company's website cited as the average visit time for inspection of a 3BR/1BA house, and he then spent several additional hours writing up his report, which was delivered to me via email in a PDF file format by 6 PM on the day of the inspection. Overall, Bob was great at his job, and he delivered more than promised and more than expected. His final report was also excellent and comprehensive. Would I choose this company, and Bob, again if I needed another home inspection? Yes, I would, in a heartbeat!

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).

Kris, the office manager, runs everything smoothly, communicating clearly and efficiently both before and after the appointment. The inspection itself was thorough and unhurried. My particular situation is a little unclear, and David was fantastic at laying out my options across the different directions my project might take - along with the pros, cons, and likelihoods of each. His knowledge is genuinely impressive -- every stage in the life of a structure, the technical details, local code and infrastructure -- and while he shares a ton of information, he keeps it interesting and even fun. So grateful I stumbled onto the RHS crew, and I recommend them without reservation!
