We have had a lot of work done in our home over the years but I had never before experienced the genuine care and honesty that we experienced when Scott came to assist us in our needs. I felt like an angel with great wisdom was sent! My husband and I were surprised by his knowledge of both the structure of our house (having never even been here before) and of the issues that we needed addressed. Not joking, watching him work throughout our home and think the issues through were like watching Jordon Peterson come up with his brilliant ideas! I couldn't be happier and feel we will always know now where to turn in the future! A great company and a very good man!

He answered all of our questions during the inspection and included us in every step of the process. In addition, he provided a very detailed report including pictures of each finding and recommendations for how to address them. He made time to answer all of our followup questions and was overall very helpful to us in our search for a new home. Scott truly went above and beyond for us and we would recommend him to anyone going forward, but especially anyone buying their first home. He is a seasoned professional who is passionate about his work and it shows!

My client had purchased two properties prior to meeting me,but this was his first time having an inspection. John, with his background as a plumber, was incredibly thorough and provided invaluable insights.

I couldn't be more pleased with the service John provided--highly recommend! --- Let me know if you'd like any further adjustments!

I highly recommend hiring Mike as your home inspector! I found out about Mike's home inspection…read morebusiness through a local Facebook group and decided to contact him because the reviews were so favorable. My spouse and I had recently purchased first townhouse and hired Mike to do our inspection. Mike showed up on time as promised and went over the details of the inspection. Throughout the process, Mike provided us with really useful information about maintaining a home. The inspection report was delivered on time and it contained detailed explanations and recommendations for maintaining, repairing, or replacing items in the home. We are really grateful for Mike's frankness about the issues with the townhouse that came up during the inspection. Mike literally saved our lives since he discovered a leaking carbon monoxide pipe attached to our water heater. Given the location and configuration of the pipe, water heater, and furnace, we wouldn't have known about it if Mike hadn't taken a second look at the water heater. We appreciate Mike's services and will be recommending him to our friends and family.

Bob is fantastic! He walked me through everything and explained issues and positive aspects. 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 ACS Home Inspections (John Spinello) to perform an inspection on a fixer upper we were…read morebuying. He was highly recommended by our real estate agent, and I'm so glad we went with him. 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.

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.

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.
