The individual who answers the phone is Hulbert's wife who multiple times has answered very…read morestand-offish and unprofessionally even when I came about a concern about the inspection. It seems like the inspector is more for the seller rather then the buyer who is hiring them for contingencies. I have done construction management and commissioning before so I dont know how in my case where a window latch on an exterior window thats UPSTAIRS is considered a low priority where there is a fall risk, wind/gust that goes through since it cannot fully latch and would need a potential replacement - which in hand did not help our case with settling on the deal to get this resolved. Literally handed us a paper and not even a follow up call to discuss the contingencies on the home. All I got told was that they only look visually and even when I looked you could see it is a bigger issue than what it was marked as. Waste of $475 that I could've done myself, oh and when I email the owner Hulbert, same half response of excusing the poor inspection that was done. I do not recommend this inspector company whatsoever. I forgot to mention - his wife when I told her the situation told me "This happens when you get a home" like what kind of response is that, don't know but this family business is beyond disappointing and a let down to put it nicely. This establishment lacks the actual foundation of what and who they're doing this for. Also the inspection was 30 minutes for a 3 bedroom and 3 bathroom house.... I've seen people thoroughly inspect homes smaller and take longer.

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.

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.

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.

Even though their price was a bit higher than the company my agent recommended, I decided to go with them -- after all, buying a house only happens a few times in a lifetime, and you want true professionals for something that important. Looking back, it was absolutely the best decision. Jay did my inspection and was extremely thorough and professional. A few months later, I had a question and reached out to Ian -- that's when I truly understood why everyone gives them five stars. He provided excellent customer service, stood by their work, and was very responsive and helpful. Overall, this is a great company with outstanding customer service. Highly recommended!

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.

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.
