Buying a house is like getting married: there are countless variables floating around in your head, yet the decision is

ultimately made by your heart. Let me worry about the details. 

 

Given my systems approach, as a past science teacher, I can help you feel confident your new house is sound:

 I am a licensed home inspector who works in VA and DC. 

​

No Surprises' reports are created with interactive Home Gauge software.  

They include links to products and repair ideas from Quick Tips (below). 

 I spend about an hour extra at home adding relevant links.

 

There you will also find my regular contributions to ASHI's monthly publication. 

 

I do not charge for gimmicks like infrared imaging (moisture problems readily show themselves), sewer scoping (line might be fine today and break tomorrow--so I recommend sewer line insurance) and chimney scoping (chimney folks will always recommend a $5000 liner, only needed after earthquakes; chimney fires need 1000 degree heat, which is difficult to produce, so just have it swept every few years).

​

Let No Surprises Home Inspection get you off to the best possible start with your residence or

LIGHT COMMERCIAL PROPERTY. ​

I test for radon and am a mold expert.
