We have major mold issues our inspector missed and now likely have thousands of dollars in remediation to pay for. Weird odors were brought to his attention during the home inspection and he brushed them off and because we trusted his judgment, we did, too. What a mistake. A month later they are still here and turns out we have a major mold problem. I spoke to numerous contractors who said the odor should've been investigated by the home inspector. When I contacted ProTec, they claimed people throw inspectors under the bus and accepted no responsibility. We spent more and got less with ProTec. Save your money and go with a company with some integrity. I understand people make mistakes but ProTec's response to my concerns have been exceedingly poor given the amount of trust I put in their work. Please learn from my experience and go with an inspector who doesn't ignore red flags. read more

Richard and Michael were so helpful. They conducted a thorough inspection of every part of the house and the yard and they were very informative, kind, answered all the questions and gave us very good advices that helped us with our new house. I highly recommend ProTec for inspection. read more

Their website was very easy to navigate and schedule an inspection. I received a call shortly after confirming my needs and time/date. They stayed in touch via email and text, which was great, especially since we learned last minute the home had a dog and wanted to give a heads up to our inspector. Josh arrived at the place promptly as scheduled, and was very friendly. Since it was our first inspection, he was very open to questions and explained a lot of things to us while going through the home and taking pictures/notes. He would even pause every once in a while to make sure if we had any other questions. He even had a drone with him to check out the roof, which was pretty cool. The report also came really quick! He went through most of the things with us in person already, so there were no surprised on the report. The electronic report was available within a few hours, and the format of the report was easily understandable, and had clear recommendations on it. Really appreciated the service from Josh and ProTec, and will definitely be going to them again. read more

Still as amazing as they were over 9 years ago. I used them for our first home and just used them again for our new home. Phil was the lead inspector and he and his colleague gave us "tours" around each area of our home to educate us about the home and any issues, by priority. He also went above and beyond to try to unjam as many of our old wood windows as possible. Service is still top notch-- the only change is the new technology. No longer are the days with lengthy PDF reports; they're now web based and easy to navigate, and they now use drones! Thank you for putting us at ease as new home owners, by going the extra mile to educate us patiently. read more

Scott was amazing. Spent nearly 6 hours combing through every inch of the house. He provided a lot of guidance, feedback and addressed all of our concerns. He was extremely detailed, knowledgeable and so friendly. Hire ProTec (ask for Scott!) read more

I enjoyed my experience from booking to receiving the report. The team is responsive and friendly which is always a plus. Specifically, Victor was great to work with. He was knowledgeable, detailed, and patient. He explained everything he was looking for in the inspection, what he found, and answered all questions thoroughly. Thanks again! read more

Frank and his apprentice were punctual on the scheduled arrival time, and happy to answer our questions as he progressed through the inspection. The final report was organized in such a way that we had photo references for the less obvious-to-laymen things, and prioritization to allow us to triage repairs according to our budget. The only thing we felt that they missed was over a dozen exposed staples protruding from the interior stairs, left over from when the former owners had ripped up some carpet. Fortunately my toe found one before anyone not up on their tetanus shot did. read more

Ask for inspector Joe Ondrasik. Truly one of the best. He knows his stuff and will recommend as if he was the buyer of the house. He also comes from a family of builders. I shouldn't be telling people about Joe, but he deserves all the kudos. read more

Scott B. Performed the home inspection for a house we put a contract on. He was super friendly and professional. He really took his time to explain the issues he found along with maintenance we would need to keep up in the new home. Scott was thorough and we did not feel rushed at all. Highly recommend ProTec Inspection!!!!!! read more

Super happy with ProTec's home inspection service. Very responsive during the scheduling process, on time for the inspection with two fantastic inspectors (Richard and Victor), very thorough and informative inspection. Additionally, the report was delivered within a day and was easy to understand with well documented pictures. read more

I had these guys do both a pre-drywall inspection and a final home inspection on my new construction. Both inspections were incredibly thorough and in both instances, discovered issues in my new build that if left undetected would've cost me THOUSANDS of dollars down the road to fix (not to mention the headache!) A huge thank you to ProTec Inspection Services, and specifically my inspector Dale Hanscom for performing thorough and timely home inspections on my home. You guys are awesome! Also P.S: prices were perfectly reasonable for everything we received! Highly recommend. read more

Dave did my home inspection back then and he did such a wonderful job. He was knowledgeable and very thorough. Unfortunately, I did not end up with the house back then. Fast forward, my husband and I found a house that we love and we called the 4U Home Inspection but found out that it was acquired by ProTec. Turned out again that Dave worked for for ProTec and was going to be our inspector. It was coincidental, but I was glad that we had a familiar face to help with inspections. He was just as knowledgeable, friendly, professional, and thorough as he had been previously and provided us with the results of our inspection same day. We had requested an inspector next day and were able to do so pretty quickly. read more

Very through inspection. Great info about the upcoming purchase. Very professional, polite, and informative. 5/5 I recommend!

A wonderful experience with ProTec. Very responsive, quick to schedule, super thorough on the inspection, and a short, same-day turn around on my final report. Highly recommend! read more

ProTec provided a professional, quick, and very useful service. We had a short inspection contingency and they were able to schedule an inspection immediately. They made thoughtful adjustments for COVID to ensure that I could still follow behind the inspector during the process. Scott was happy to field questions and provided a wealth of contextual information to help understand the inspection findings. I promptly received a copy of the report by email the next day. The report contained some findings that surprised me, so I reached out via email and got a same-day reply with further explanations. Would recommend ProTec highly. One caveat that doesn't pertain to ProTec staff themselves: ProTec apparently partners with a moving-services concierge service called Porch and gave my information to them. After the inspection, Porch flooded me with unsolicited and aggressive calls and emails. Be warned that going with ProTec will mean having to repeatedly refuse outreach from their affiliates. read more

We just bought our first home and used ProTec for our initial inspection and our inspector, Eric, was phenomenal. Not only was he thorough but he took the time to explain everything he was looking for and found. That made a huge difference to me as a first time homeowner in knowing more about potential problems we could encounter and just general maintenance of the home. I would recommend ProTec to any and everybody! Thanks so much again Eric! read more

We had ProTec inspect our new apartment here in DC in December 2022. Austin, the inspector, missed (1) a broken built-in refrigerator ($5900 to repair!) and a cracked window pane ($1042 to replace). He obviously did not do his job. A complete waste of $425. I would never use them again. read more

After a few email exchanges and with my including various documentation that indeed showed that the vent on my roof was to be re-inspected. I was finally able to get to a resolution with ProTec Inspections. Although it was frustrating trying to get them to understand that the re-inspection was not complete, the people I spoke to were relatively nice. I would advise anyone who seeks out their services to double-check everything on your list to be inspected - do not assume they're going to be thorough on your behalf. Also, familiarize yourself construction or have a friend/family member who is familiar with construction walk through it with you. Good Luck! read more

I bought a house a few months ago and used this service for the inspection. House cost over a million dollars. Paid a lot for their service and so far I have found a singed plug, a shower head that does not work, a leaking toilet, three out of four walls in one of the rooms has no working plugs, front lamps outside do not work, and I can't wait to see what else I discover. I would never use these guys! You will never get what you paid for. When I called to complain and spoke with the head of the office, not only did I get a very demeaning attitude but then I was "mansplained". I was told that I don't know how inspections work and he was going to now explain to me how an inspection works. I simply hung up. read more

Great, thorough, timely and pleasant to do deal with.

Highly recommend Matt! He was thorough, professional, friendly, and extremely knowledgeable. We will definitely use again in the future.

Really great company! I highly recommend this company for home inspections. We used this company during the covid pandemic and they were excellent. They followed social distancing rules by sending us videos and texts of the inspection. We received their report within 24 hrs which outlined the problems with our new home. Once again, I highly recommend this company. read more

We were on a tight timeline to close on a house and the response was superb! The inspection was extremely detailed, from small to major. Inspector Ryan discovered a leak coming from an above unit, which required immediate attention. Thank goodness the machine detecting moisture. In addition to a comprehensive inspection, Ryan took time to explain each part of the inspection and answered my ongoing questions in a language that I understood. It was a great experience and quality service. I highly recommend the company. read more

Best inspection service I've used. So knowledgeable and extremely responsive, before and after the inspection. Tom in particular was fantastic. Would 1000% recommend. read more

ProTec Inspections did the inspection of a new property and did a great job! Erik Portillo was the one who came out to the property to conduct the inspection. He was prompt and professional. He did a thorough job inspecting the exterior and interior of the house. He pointed out areas that needed to be addressed and offered some helpful recommendations on what to keep an eye on. I was very satisfied with their service and highly recommend ProTec! read more

Great home inspection by Richard. Patiently walked us through the home, providing clear explanations and commentary, as well as thoughtful recommendations for us to keep in mind regarding maintenance and upkeep. A pleasure to work with! read more

Very understandable home inspection. Detailed. Went through every room and let us know what he was checking, then told us what a bad signal was, how long things were expected to last, his opinion of why things may have gone bad, and things that needed to be repaired. Very personable as well. Connected on a lot of subjects to help time pass. Definitely recommend. read more

I am a huge fan of this company. I have used them three times, once with Nick and twice with Donny. The company's response time is very fast, as in I requested an inspection online and within 10 minutes received a call back to schedule. They were also extremely accommodating when I asked for a last minute inspection. Both Donny and Nick were very thorough and took the time to answer any questions that we could come up with. There is a reason I keep coming back to Pro Tec...they are amazing! read more

We used ProTech for multiple walk and talk inspections and a full inspection. Austin Johntra was amazing and we requested him multiple times. Robert Jacobs was also wonderful. Very professional, always early, and very thorough. read more

Our inspector, Sam, was extremely professional, thorough, and responsive to all of our questions and concerns. As first-time homebuyers, we are totally new to the inspection process and Sam ensured we understood how a typical inspection goes. He put us at ease and ensured we saw every nook and cranny as possible. The report provided was very thorough and will help us both with documentation as well as references for future maintenance and possible repairs. We highly recommend anyone needing a home inspection to go with ProTec - it's well worth the price! Thank you Sam and the ProTec Inspection Services team. read more

My potential new home was inspected by Bruce Selby who was the ultimate professional.

I would definitely recommend Bruce and ProTec Inspection Services to anyone looking for a great home inspection at a reasonable price. read more

Just purchased a home and needed an inspection asap. Was able to schedule an appt for two days later. TJ was great. Very knowledgeable and walked me through the entire house. It was great to learn about every nook and cranny of the home before moving in. Super friendly and pleasant. read more

We hired ProTec to do an inspection of the co-op apartment we are planning to buy. Because we currently live a distance away, our daughter was on site. Tom was the inspector. Our very discerning daughter said Tom did an excellent job. Tom's detailed report was in our inbox the next morning, complete with pictures and recommendations. We feel more confident in our purchase as a result of the report Tom provided. In addition to Tom's excellent service, I must give a shout out to the ProTec office staff. They were an absolute pleasure to work with and were very accommodating when we had to reschedule. ProTec made us feel protected! read more

Phil was exceptional. He went so far above and beyond in his home inspection, I feel really confident in my new purchase. This is my second home that I have ever bought, And I didn't know until I met Phil how bad a job the inspector did at my first place. He uncovered every stone, almost literally. I don't feel like I will find any surprises in this place! Phil was really exceptional, I cannot recommend protec highly enough read more

I've been in my new home, inspected by ProTec, for fewer than six weeks, and have already had the following problems: - Multiple leaks after a recent rainstorm, with a roofer seeing that there were things that needed repairs. The inspector did not go on the roof during the inspection - Showerhead broke during first use, and water got all over the bathroom. No mention in the report despite him ostensibly testing it. - Two screen doors basically useless in keeping insects out, with an additional sliding door also not sealed and failing to keep water out during a recent storm. The roof / water issues are just so annoying because they are expensive to repair and it's just something I would have liked to know about. What's the point of paying you $700 if you can't identify these basic problems that a roofer told me about for free! Just use another inspection company. There are so many, don't bother with this one. read more

This was a very expensive inspection. The report was very neutral to the point that it did not reflect what occurred during the inspection. I ended up hiring multiple separate contractors to inspect different systems because Protec did not document the issues and my realtor was not protecting my interests. I was not buying the home as is. The a/c was not functioning at all to test the system. I had my own hvac person there and paid for new parts so that the ac could be tested. Yet the Protec person reported the ac was functioning fine and it was only by my pushing did he indicate in the report that the system was running for the inspection because the buyer purchased parts. The electrical panel was dry walled over partially and the inspector could not take the metal panel off. He reported the system was functioning fine and failed to report the panel could not be taken off due to the drywall. My realtor's immediate response was just have the sellers have a licensed electrician certify that the electricity works. Instead I called in my own electrician who discovered the panel was set back too far and there were multiple irregularities with switches. The inspector told me the dishwasher door was completely off yet he reported it was just loose in the report. My realtor treated it as if I just wanted an upgraded dishwasher when I mentioned the dishwasher door was off. He said the report does not indicate that to the sellers. My realtor indicated the inspectors have to be careful in what they say in the reports so that sellers do not sue them. However when one pays $900 for an inspection one expects the report to factually indicate the circumstances in the house. The inspector was nice and professional and I am sure working in the parameters of Protec's guidelines but it was very expensive and almost a waste of time and money as I needed to call in multiple separate contractors to give me an accurate evaluation of the home. The expensive report was deceptively neutral to the benefit of the seller. Any stars at all are because the inspector was nice and professional and I am sure working under the parameters of Protec. My feedback is on Protec itself not the inspector. read more
