He also took the time to listen carefully to the concerns I raised and, when appropriate, added them to his findings. I really appreciated that he didn't dismiss anything and treated my questions seriously. Beyond the inspection itself, he offered helpful maintenance advice and practical tips for ongoing homeownership in my specific house, which was a huge bonus. He was friendly, professional, and easy to work with throughout the entire process. It was definitely worth the price (which is in line with other inspectors) to get an inspection and I would absolutely recommend him to anyone needing a home inspection.

I have used "licensed, bonded and insured," contractors for all repairs and services, exclusively. I am preparing to replace my roof which is a very big project, and I wanted my big fortress reviewed for needs first. I am a knowledgeable, careful female home owner, growing up in a "master plumber/builder home." Given all of those efforts and personal pedigree to maintain my home, Mr. Marston identified a list of "issues and "repairs of repairs" to make my home safer and most sound into the future. I love this handsome home and researched best home inspectors very carefully, I was rewarded for that effort. If you want an excellent home inspector, who checks out critical structure, electrical, plumbing, maintenance and code needs and who is not afraid to get into the attic, behind the furnace, inside the electrical panel and wade through insulation, etc., call Mr. Marston at REM, you will be glad you did.

I mean I have no idea what a great inspectors are suppose to do, since its my first home inspection. But I'm sure if they stay in your home for close to 5 hours looking at everything from my garbage disposal to my fire place, they are earning their money. Even though the 5 hour inspection drove my mom-in-law bonkers, because she had to pee; I learned alot from Reggie and I feel more comfortable knowing I purchased a great home.

We are coming up on 1 year since our home inspection and I was reminded I need to write this review…read morewhen we pulled out our inspection report to see what it had to say about our sump pump (since we are in the midst of a tropical storm). The report we received from this company was so thorough and articulate (with photos)... it is so valuable. I just said to my husband "this inspection was MONEY WELL SPENT." (He agreed, obviously). I'm well aware there are cheaper home inspectors out there (we've used them)... but you are missing out if you don't use this one. Trust me... saving a few hundred dollars on a cheaper inspection right now will cost you several thousand dollars in the long-run. Not only do I recommend this inspection service, I pity you if you choose someone else.

He wanted to see the list and start on those. I said no. This was also a test to see if he could identify these simple issues. He said he was not here to be tested. He wanted to see the list again. I told him to treat the inspection as if none of use knew anything about the home. He refused to inspect and left. The qoute was $500.

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.

He is the BEST home inspector we've ever had throughout all of our past home-purchasing experiences. He is super thorough, detail-oriented, and incredibly fast with the turnaround of his written report - all the things you look for in a home inspector. The inspection lasted a little over 3 hours - it is a fixer upper! John is very meticulous and he was able to highlight so many issues - not just ones that needed to be fixed, but also ones that we may want to keep an eye on or fix in the future. He covered absolutely EVERY inch of the home. During the walkthrough, he was also very helpful in explaining to us each of the items he noted, as well as answering our multitude of questions. He also left us with a binder (size of a mini textbook) listing out all the different areas that are covered in the inspection and the things that they look for. This is so empowering because my husband and I can use this reference binder in the future ourselves to help identify and diagnose any problems we may have, for any home we live in/rent out in the future. John also had an incredibly fast turnaround. We finished the walkthrough on Tuesday at around 7:15 pm, and he was able to send us the written report by 6:40 am the next day on Wednesday (did he sleep!?). This was so critical for us because we had to make a decision based on the inspection report before Wednesday, 9 pm tin order to not forfeit our home deposit. That gave us enough time to review the report and make an informed decision on our counteroffer. John is incredible and we would definitely use him again if we purchase another home in VA.

He also communicated via text (a completely personal preference, but a plus in my book). He came highly recommended from my realtor, and I was not disappointed! Was very impressed with the amount of repair items he caught--things that were not only a safety/health issues (e.g poor construction/mold), but other smaller items I would not have even thought to check (e.g. toilet not securely bolted enough). He checked the crawl space, attic, roof and all of the house interior and exterior to include outlets. I was impressed with his attention, care and thoroughness of him inspecting my soon-to-be home. Even though it is a tiny place, it still took him over three hours because he exercised great patience in explaining how items worked, tested the breakers, labeled shut-off valves, showed me how to use my weird dishwasher (lol) and answered all of my questions! At the end of the inspection, I got a packet/binder of information. The following day I received the report with photos. All of the information was presented in a clear and easy-to-understand manner. As a first time homebuyer, I couldn't have asked for a better inspector and I sincerely appreciate the time and effort he spent pointing out both the flaws and the advantages of the home. I would not hesitate to recommend John and am grateful for the customer care he provided!
