Point being, I was looking for an inspector who knows different eras of Virginia home building, and the associated construction and coding difficulties with renovation and pre-closing fixes. This is mine & my fiance's first home together, and I wanted to apply my knowledge to get us into the best buyer's position possible. We are SO thankful we found Pete. As much as I know, Pete was outstanding at catching what I missed, and what my personal knowledge/experience didn't forecast. We caught a potentially very costly and difficult to fix issue, which I was able to research and we found a really wise and frugal solution. We were able to avoid walking away from a great house, and will be closing in a couple days. NoVa/DC has been a seller's market in 2016/17, with a lot of disappointing properties and/or irresponsible sellers. Pete executed our inspection like a seasoned professional. Moreover, he saved us the headache and heartache of having to jump back into the frey of home buying by either needlessly walking away, or being sunk with an unforseen fix/improvement. Before our home inspection, we'd actually scheduled, re-schedule and had to cancel inspections on two different homes that we walked away from before inspection. Each time, Home Scope's staff was always immediately responsive, understanding, rescheduled and worked with us as needed to meet the contract deadlines -- huge lifesaver and anxiety reducer. From the inspection to their office operations, Home Scope is a professional outfit, and the the sole inspection company I refer to clients, friends, family, and anyone who sounds like they desperately need knowledgeable, efficient help in this market. The housing demand around D.C. allows sellers, title companies, sellers agents, etc. to be really careless/sloppy/generaly poor service, and puts buyers at a serious disadvantage. Do you yourself a favor and hire an inspector like Home Scope who knows what they're doing, to protect yourself and your future.

Our former realtor suggested Home Survey back in 2014. I was living out of state and not able to be…read morepresent during the inspection, but agreed. Home Survey were able to the do the inspection on fairly short notice. They found one minor issue. I thought the inspection was fine until I just had another home inspection more recently of a different property. The report from Home Survey did have some good information about the condo building, unit, and its materials, but it otherwise wasn't very detailed or comprehensive. They only took 5 photos, and for the one issue they flagged, they didn't include a photo. They didn't note the year of the appliances, or when the inspection ended (time listed as N/A). For A/C there was just a single window A/C unit, and the report said Manufacturer: N/A when it says LG right on the front of the unit. I was glad the next time I got an inspection, that I went with one that had lots of great reviews rather than go on the suggestion of a realtor.

It flushed once but the tank didnt re-fill; had he even looked at the tank he would have seen that. The sink was dripping which he also 'didn't notice'. Within 3 months of moving in the ceiling fell through from the middle floor because of water damage, something an inspector SHOULD have caught (the overflow was not hooked up correctly- something a first time home buyer wouldn't know but an inspector would be able to spot.). That was an expensive fix. I wouldn't have known any better but I came along to my brother's home inspection. His inspection was done by two gentlemen, their inspection was MUCH more thorough. They took apart the front of the HVAC instead of just looking at it, they checked everything from windows to whether each outlet worked. I can not re-state how upset I am at the poor quality of the house inspection. I am confident that had I used a more professional team I would have known about all of the "surprise" problems I have had.
