I have owned my home since 1994 and this is a "They don't build them like this anymore," brick…read moresplit level home built in 1962. 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.

Who do I turn to inspect my very first home? No clue. So what do I do? "I Yelp It!". And as always,…read moreJackpot!. Reggie was great. 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 used Greg 8 years ago on a house we were going to buy but ended up not because of his thorough…read moreinspection. We used Greg again this past weekend on a house we are going to put an offer in for. Greg is wonderful to work with. He will work up a sweat as he diligently inspects the property and then he will give you a detailed report of everything, minor to major. What's better is that Greg will explain everything to you as you go through the inspection. He'll tell you what he's looking for, whether something is a major issue, and how to fix it. Best of all is that he does all this in a way that doesn't feel like he's talking down to you. Basically, he is teaching you about how to look at a home. If you're looking to buy property anytime soon, hire Greg to do your inspection. He is worth every penny!

Very…read morethorough, he closely inspected each outlet, each window, each door (and so many more things). His report, with color coded captions and photos for each item, couldn't have been more reader-friendly. Beyond just issues, he provided insight into how different aspects of the house interacted with others and tips for good maintenance. He explained things I could do myself and jobs to give a professional and which type of professional. Moreover, he recommended potential cost-saving options such as off-seasons for work and where to spend a little more to pay off in the long run. Overall, I feel like I have a genuine understanding of the areas needing work and what it will require to achieve that work. I had all my questions answered and then some. Also- I'm totally going to print out the report so I can reference the model numbers etc. in the years to come. Thanks Bob!!

Do not use this company for a home inspection. Their inspector Bob Mennitt overtightened a supply…read morevalve in a second floor bathroom and flooded my house 4 weeks before closing. He even noted that the valve was not leaking but did leak after he opened and closed it but that he managed to get the valve in a position that it stopped leaking. The house was unoccupied so it leaked for 2 days until he came back to retrieve the radon test. He then notified us that there was a leak and left. The plumbers who showed up to fix said the valve had been over tightened and replaced it. Bob Mennitt never took any responsibility and caused $25K in damage. Turned the sale of the home into a complete nightmare. Save yourself anxiety and costs and use a better qualified service.

We used Potomac Home Inspections for buying our first single family home. They proved to exceed…read moreour expectation for a home inspection. Jarrett was prompt (arriving early to accomplish some of the outside duties before we even arrived), informative (gave us tons of insight of how our new home appliances would work), and took the time to explain best practices so that we maximize the most out of our new home as possible. There were a few items in the new house that we weren't familiar with so we were pleasantly surprised when Jarrett gave us information to help us for the future. Later on, when we received the report, it was fully detailed with all the information he had discussed and more. We would recommend Potomac Home Inspection to anyone looking for an inspector.

I am building a $1.5mm house, so very interested in having a qualified home inspector. After having Jarrett confirm a date and time - his date and time - he notified my realtor at the very last moment that he was now "busy" and would instead send someone else out. He said he usually attends with this guy (sounded like an apprentice), but could not make it. Honestly, when I schedule time with someone I expect them to make it. If not, I don't expect them to send an apprentice but call immediately to seek remedy. So, if you intend to use Potomac Home Inspections, just know that there may be a risk of fulfillment. Further, I now question their quality of performance. I have decided to go with someone else.

Any home buyer won't find a better home inspection company than JD Grewell & Associates(JDGAI),…read morethey are fantastic. We used them to inspect two homes we were considering for purchase. On the first occasion, JDGAI revealed multiple issues with the property that literally saved us from purchasing a home that would have cost tens of thousands to fix. Hugely helpful!!!!!! They were so meticulous, they found numerous things less professional inspectors would have likely overlooked. We chose JDGAI because of their decades of experience and reputation for doing the best job possible. We were not dissapointed. Even better, JDGAI provided excellent and fast service- on both occasions, we were able to schedule inspections within 48 hours. This was really helpful, since the buying process tends to move very quickly. Given all this, we thought the price was reasonable and worth every penny, and we'd hire them again anytime. We have been thrilled with JDGAI and would recommend them to anyone! They definitely do everything they can to inform and educate the buyer.

We were VERY impressed by the time and care Sean put into the inspection. We had heard from friends and family their inspectors breeze through this process and I was so glad we cannot say the same.

We will recommend him to every one and know we will be customers again if and when we need to go through this process in the future.

Buying a home is a big decision, and he knows that.
