The inspector arrived on time, introduced himself, and clearly explained what he would be doing. He started with the exterior inspection before coming inside. He was thorough, professional, and answered all of my questions. I highly recommend Zac and ProTec Inspection Services! I also received my report within three hours after the inspection was completed. Scheduling was easy, and they were able to accommodate a time that worked best for me. read more

Outstanding service. Showed up on time, delivered comprehensive review and report. Roger Richardson was friendly and skilled at his job! Highly recommend! In the world of home inspection services you never know what you're going to get; they folks delivered! read more

Donny did a super job - courteous, thorough, professional. The report was easy to read. I would use them again!

The people here do great business. They are open longer than most places and the response is super quick. While their fees are slightly higher, it is reflective of their quality of work. If budget really is an issue, be sure to ask about bundle discounts. I was able to schedule my home inspection immediately, which was amazing because I needed it done close to the holidays. My inspector Sam was extremely thorough not only in his inspection process, but also talking me through his notes making sure I understood at a novice level. He was also super patient with me. I came prepared with a list of about 20 additional inspection questions (including where the shut off valves were located and how to turn them off) and he made sure to answer them all in detail. The report was turned around in less than 24 hours and I was able to connect with Sam immediately regarding my follow up questions. read more

Charles from ProTec did a thorough inspection of my condo purchase. The report was detailed, well organized, documented, and included thermal images that caught issues I wouldn't have known to look for. Highly recommended for anyone buying a home or condo in the DC metro area. read more

They just conducted an inspection of our house and issued a 60 page report-impressive with lots of photos but the contents is pure junk.Half of it are disclaimers and boiler plate language. The inspectors were amateurs with little knowledge beyond turning on a switch and seeing that the equipment works. Most of the recommendations are common sense and paying big bucks for them is a waste of money. May be 1-2 pages of the report contained some useful information. read more

What a disappointing company. The inspection was straightforward and fine, conducted by a friendly inspector. But then came the spam calls and emails by ADT. What's ridiculous is that I purchased a condo with a 24/7 security desk, so the need for an ADT (I challenge anyone to find an ADT with greater than 3* average rating on this site) security buildout is questionable from the get-go. Stop selling out your customers. It's not worth it. read more

My realtor recommended them and Erik was fantastic. He was very knowledgable, friendly, and patient with my questions.

The wonderful folks at ProTec really helped us out in a pinch, after getting an offer on a single family home accepted, we had only a few days. The team was available within 2 days. And Michael the inspector was incredibly thorough. We requested a home inspection and they were available within 2 days. Michael provided everything that we asked for and more. Pages after pages of items he discovered. Definitely helped not only on the short term, but for years to come. I cannot rate them high enough for the service they provided. We're still reviewing all the items Michael found. He did such terrific work and we would request them again in a heart beat. read more

As a military spouse, I've had a few home inspections, some better than others. My ProTec inspection was by far the best experience. The inspector, Sam, arrived early and was both professional and friendly. It is important to me to fully understand any identified issues and to identify key home components (water main shut-offs, sprinkler bypass, etc.), so it was a relief that Sam didn't mind my inquisitiveness and was happy to provide information throughout the inspection. He is clearly very knowledgeable and did a thorough inspection, specifying which issues would require professional attention. The inspection report was completed the same day and was accurate, with an appropriate level of detail and photos. Home inspections can be very expensive, but will frequently save you significant amounts of money if they are done properly. The inspection provided by Pro-Tec was excellent and I highly recommend them. (An additional note: several people mentioned receiving calls and emails about home security systems. It has been a couple of weeks since my inspection, and I have not received any emails. I received one call, politely declined, and have not received any more. I didn't find this to be a problem.) read more

Donny from ProTec was incredibly thorough and efficient in inspecting the apartment we are buying . Explained where things were located and what the condition was in each area he inspected . He showed up on time and left us via email a very detailed report , room by room and for every appliance , which included his reasonable recommendations that same day . The appointment was made late afternoon the day before and it was no problem to get there on time . A terrific service at a very fair price. read more

Victor Hopkins was absolutely amazing. He is extremely knowledgeable, incredibly thorough, and took the time to explain everything he inspected in a way that was clear and easy to understand. I was truly impressed by how detailed and precise he was--he caught so many things that I never would have noticed on my own. What really stood out was how patient and informative he was throughout the entire process. He didn't rush, answered all of my questions, and made sure I fully understood the condition of the home and what to prioritize. I am beyond grateful that Victor was my home inspector, and I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a smart, detailed, and trustworthy professional. You want him on your side when buying a home. read more

Sam at Protec Inspection did an amazing job. He was professional, meticulous, and explained every detail of the report to me. He made sure I understood what was a priority and what was just routine maintenance. If you want an inspector who doesn't cut corners, ask for Sam! read more

We had ProTec perform a home inspection for our recent property purchase. Richard was very professional in his inspection, explained various aspects of his findings and gave us some tips and recommendations for our continued enjoyment of the home. He was very thorough and well worth the cost of the inspection. read more

We had a GREAT experience with Protec for a new home inspection prior to our purchase. Luke was our inspector: on-time, professional, knowledgeable, and he explained everything, at every step, so that we could understand all of it. As promised, we got the report on time and the format and detail was so impressive that I showed it to a young colleague who hadn't seen a home inspection report - just so she could see how amazing it was. Following up, I had one small question late in the afternoon on a Friday and right away I got an acknowledgement of my email followed by a super helpful explanation of the topic from a manager/supervisor. I would use Protec again in a heartbeat and will recommend them to friends who are in the market to buy a condo or home. read more

Great service, thank you! They answered all my questions and were very professional. I highly recommend them.

I had an inspection done today. Victor Hopkins was the professional I worked with on this house I'm purchasing. Victor is professional, efficient, and thorough. He is personable with an intensity for the job you'd want to have in an inspector. I recommend him 100% of the time. read more

Very professional with great communication. I'm very happy with Sam and the entire process was very smooth.

Had my very first home inspection with Eric, he was extremely knowledgeable & professional. At times during the inspection I admitting to feeling overwhelmed but both my Relator & Eric worked together to explain. Eric took detailed photos of crawl spaces, roofing and tight areas that I personally refused to access. Eric even reviewed the photos and his findings with me onsite and in detail. The scheduling and payment process was streamlined and easy. Thank you to ProTec for making my first time experience not so scary! read more

I engaged ProTec to do a pre closing inspection of a coop unit. There engagement and reminder emails were easy to respond to and timely. The inspector, Brad, arrived on time, was very courteous, very professional and thorough. He explained how they rate what they see, from safety to major issue, to "decorative"...not sure I got the categories correct, but they give an idea of how they look at things. I was with him as he went from room to room..he explained things that he saw. He told me when the inspection report would be finalized and that deadline he met. All in all, an outstanding experience. read more

Had a new construction inspection done by Sam. He was thorough and took the time to explain everything. Having our place inspected gave us the peace of mind and confidence we were looking for. Had the full report out the evening of the inspection, the builders took note of what was found and tended to the problem immediately. We will definitely request Sam to do our one year warranty inspection as well! read more

I had a thorough home inspection from ProTec when purchasing my home. From booking through reporting, I couldn't have asked for a better experience. I've worked with numerous inspectors and inspection companies in the past and ProTec is definitely top tier. My inspector ran through the home independently first before walking me through and sharing findings and remediations with me. He explained each concern, how it was tested, and normal parameters. I used the in-depth report to prioritize repairs before move in and continue to use it to track maintenance in my home. read more

Needed a new construction inspection. Just another set of experienced eyes to look over all aspects of the new house build. Inspector was experienced and didn't mind me following him around. Took abot 2.5 hours for the 3 bedroom house. They sent me the illustrated report next day which I shared with builder who will attend to the items noted. read more

ProTec Inspection Services - New house construction in Poolesville, Md. - Home Inspectors Near Me

Professional service, great communications, responded very quickly, thorough and helpful report.

I was able to schedule a pre-offer inspection (aka a walk and talk inspection) on short notice which was greatly appreciated. I was out of town so I could not be there at the inspection so I spoke with the ProTec inspector on the phone after he inspected the home. I found it really informative and helpful. My inspector was knowledgeable, thorough, and answered all my questions. He was punctual and easy to communicate with. Even if I am unsuccessful in buying the house, I still felt like I learned a lot from the inspector on things to look for in an older home more generally. I'd highly recommend ProTec for your home inspection needs! read more

Inspection services were provided the day after Orderin. the inspector was extremely professional, on time and very thoroug. the inspection report was provided to my client within 24 hours after inspection. They have software to make submission of repair requests simple. loved this company and this service they provide. will definitely use again. read more

THESE PEOPLE SELL YOUR INFORMATION!!! More details: I thought the tech for my inspection was solid, and far more useful than the report. The report was full of boilerplate language that fit the description most of the way, but clearly wasn't 100% targeted to the actual problem. Same with the photos -- we found a wood-destroying insect problem in two places, and there weer only photos of one. Tough to go back to a seller and request resolution in a specific area without a picture. Most importantly, however... after the inspection I started receiving calls and emails from ADT?!? I consider it a MASSIVE breach of privacy to sell my personal information -- about a home that I may not even purchase -- to someone else. If I had known that this is how these people would act, I would NEVER have gone with them in the first place. Lastly, a word to the wise, if you don't mind your data being shared: call them and tell them you're getting a lower price. They were highly recommended to me by several friends, and I initially got a quote of about $1,500. I called around and got other quotes in the $600-$750 range. I was so confused that I called back to make sure I got the right quote... and they dropped it to just over $800. So, long story short: they'll gouge you if you don't watch out, and they'll sell your data, but the inspector is solid so maybe it's a win? I'll let my one star review tell you what I think. Caveat emptor! --- Editing to mention: I have tried several times over the last few days to request that ProTec delete my personal info and stop sharing it, but their email address that they send email from, and that is listed on their website (ClientCare@protec-inspections.com), can't receive email. If by chance someone from ProTec actually reads this, here's the response: --- Address not found Your message wasn't delivered to ClientCare@protec-inspections.com because the address couldn't be found, or is unable to receive mail. The response from the remote server was: 550 5.4.1 Recipient address rejected: Access denied. --- read more

I don't normally leave reviews, but Brad did such an exceptional job that this is definitely called for. The full report was through and succinct. Brad had no issue getting the job done, going to all the far reaches of my home. Thank you read more

This was my second home inspection, and first time using ProTec. Although a bit pricy, you definitely get what you pay for. ProTec's system was extremely easy to navigate, with different options you want to include in your inspection, scheduling, and finally payment. I was a bit unsure about the inspection, especially due to the price. Was it worth it? Inspection day came by, and Scott arrived early! He was extremely thorough and methodical in his process, explaining everything he did along the way. He was also very patient, more than willing to answer any of my questions. The entire process took a little over 3 hours for a slightly over 5,000 sqft house. At the end, he gave me a summary, recommendations, and asked if I had any concerns or questions. Finally, he stated his report should be finished same day, arriving in 3-4 hours. 3.5 hours later, I received an email that had my 54 page report! Extremely happy with this entire process, Scott was amazing, and I felt as if I got my money's worth. read more

Sam (and ProTec) did an awesome job - he did a very thorough inspection of the entire house and provided a detailed report with photos and helpful instructions. Sam was professional, knowledgeable, and helped point out things I needed to flag to the seller and be aware of for future maintenance. ProTec was great! read more

Richard and his team were great. Very thorough and explained the issues and remedies very well. Very professional and efficient. Highly recommend. read more

I was not happy with ProTec and will never use them again. They called and wanted a credit card for the inspection, saying they would NOT charge the card but be paid at closing from the title company. I called and gave them a credit card and they assured me they would not charge my card. When the inspection was complete, I nor my agent could view the report without a credit card again, so I put it my info so I could view the report. Then I see that my card was charged anyway with a 'convenience fee'. When I emailed and inquired, they responded saying they 'assumed' I'd want to pay the convenience fee and charged me, without notification. The 'fee' was $16.91. As for the report, it was the most basic and simple, abbreviated and non-informative home inspection I've ever gotten and at one of the higher rates for the industry. I've bought and sold houses for me and as a flipper and will never use this service again. And I will tell my realtor as well. read more

I have used ProTec Inspection Services for years and keep coming back due to their professionalism and customer satisfaction. I have had the privilege of working with Ryan for prior inspections and was thrilled to have him on the job today for a house in Chevy Chase. He was punctual, knowledgeable, thorough and friendly. He encouraged my clients to go around with him/ ask questions along the way as they wished and was always happy to answer their questions and give further explanations. He noted and physically pointed out any areas of concern as well as noting items that should be watched and/or were near the end of their expected working life. He was neat, tidy and left the property without leaving a trace of his being there. Kudos and thanks all around! read more

I paid the following to ProTec Inspection Services - Inspection Fee:$954.00 Termite Inspection:$129.00 Radon Test:$249.00 MOLD TEST $295 Re-Inspection $429 I paid Pro-Tec Inspection Company over $2,000 for inspecting my home and re-inspection and yet the inspectors screwed up. They could not do a visual inspection properly of the microwave, how could they miss out such a thing - see attached photos. When I moved into the house and happened to notice the ceiling of the microwave paint chipped away. The inspectors had missed this, not once but twice since I had the house re-inspected 2 days before the closing. After repeated calls and talking to the manager, I did not get anywhere. So I escalated the issue and below is the response of the owner about the combo microwave unit that is not usable: "I have had the same problem with my microwave. Here is how I fixed it for under $5.00. Scrape off the loose paint by gently sanding the damaged area. Touch up the damaged area with white appliance repair paint. Looks like a bottle of nail polish. Let dry for 24 hours before use. You should repair this before using it as the paint causes the microwaves to bounce inside the unit. Once it rusts out you will get microwave leakage and it can be a fire hazard......" Can you imagine the response, is the company that charged over $2000 giving me a $5 fix that could be a safety hazard let alone catch fire. Are they liable in case something bad happens? I still wrote back to them and called them but NO REPLY whatsoever. The above explains the reason why I WOULD AND YOU SHOULD NOT TO GET YOUR HOUSE INSPECTED BY PROTEC INSPECTION SERVICES. read more

I had an amazing experience with Kendall from ProTec ! He was very thorough with his inspection of the home and he explained a lot of things to me with great patience.

I got my report back promptly as well. read more

As a real estate agent, I always try to use Protec. Everyone there is great, but I usually request Scott when he's available.

There are not enough positive things to say about ProTec, from beginning to end... within moments of requesting a quote through their website, Laritza called me and was efficient, thorough, and professional. She didn't try to "upsell" me on any of their services, but let me know what was available, its benefits, the expected time line of the test, when the results would be available, what a report would include, and the total cost. I'm an engineer, and think its hard to be too thorough, but am also very skeptical. The property that needed to be inspected was a 1830 house that had been "flipped", which immediately made me know I wanted EVERYTHING looked inspected - way beyond just radon, pest damage, and roof condition - and to make things worse the house was built on a stone foundation with only a 24" crawl space below the first floor. I was concerned that the inspector might be a big burly guy who wouldn't be able to "commando-crawl" around what I was expecting to be a dirt floor. Additionally, I didn't know if the sanitary pipe leaving the house was clay or cast iron, and needed to be sure that it wasn't completely occluded with 200 year old tree roots. SO! - Laritza said that she would try to schedule Ryan K. ... and he exceeded all expectations. He showed up on time, was respectful, and knowledgeable, and didn't (seem to? lol) mind me tagging along with him the whole time... Despite house being only 2060 sf, Ryan was there nearly 3 hours, drove back home through rush hour traffic (another 2 hours I think) and still had the report, with photos, emailed to us the same day. There's no such thing as perfection in a home inspection - not everything will be found. But if there were perfection, Ryan delivered it. ALSO - the sewer scope was EPIC. No major problems found (ahhh ... peace of mind) but there were some tree roots that had started to grow into the pipe, and now we know WHERE they are, and how to abate them before they grow (literally) into a major problem. Especially in older homes, I can't emphasize enough the importance of this service... I regret I forgot the technicians name, but ask Laritza!! ProTec is really the whole package - I'm sleeping better at night, thanks to them. read more
