He provides pictures and descriptions of all the areas. He explains everything that is going on. The final report red flags the pertinent concerns and puts yellow flags on items that could use attention but are not safety or major concerns. This company provides a great value for the thoroughness and peace of mind you get by using them to inspect your house investment.

I hired Mark to inspect the home I'm purchasing in the Kingsmill community. He was very responsive right from the initial quote request and throughout the inspection. He provided an extremely detailed and comprehensive inspection going above and beyond the required standards of a home inspection and identified key concerns I hadn't noticed. His inspection empowered me to make informed decisions and negotiate with the seller to make repairs before closing. Mark's attention to detail and in-depth knowledge of building/safety codes were obvious from his pre-work interview and detailed report. He gave me more than I could have asked for, and I'm sure some of it will end up on my honey-do list for my husband both before and after we move in. He was very friendly and professional, and he instilled confidence in my purchase going forward as an unbiased outside observer providing a fair evaluation of the home. I almost hired a different inspection company with more Yelp reviews from out of town, but I'm very glad I chose to go with this local inspector. He did a phenomenal job, and it was all at a reasonable price and completed in a very timely manner. Whether you're buying a house like I am, selling, or just need an inspection for other purposes, I strongly recommend hiring APE Home Inspections. They do great work!

Our RE agent set this inspection up as we were on the west coast, in December…read more Once the report came to us, we negotiated the purchase based on the deficiencies noted. We are a military family, and now work for the Veterans Administration. This is not an unusual way to inspect or purchase a home for the military. Fast forward into 2024, and as we were having professionals come in, we were made aware of other deficiencies, that we were never made aware of. But the biggest problem was when we had nice weather and tried to open the row of windows along the back of the house. The rotten wood at the bottom of the casemate windows is shocking. Several are not even operational. There was no furniture in the home to block access to these windows. We have tried and tried to reach this company to find out why the inspector did not attempt to open, as per his own notes. Sent emails with pictures, and left messages. They will not respond. Which is very unprofessional. I have given them many opportunities to talk to us before leaving this review. Don't use this company. You will be very sorry, and will be wasting your money. We've shared these problems and more with our agent as well.

Could not click on there 'Website" as it appears to have been taken down or not working. No Social Media for him personally that we can find. Dont put yourself in the hands of people that only care about there own pockets. Hire your own inspector and get the job done right. Avoid this guy at all costs. You will pay a lot more in the long run. BEWARE.
