HomeTrust Inspections

I just brought a new single family from a regional builder. Even though the home is new, I still wanted a home inspection. George was highly recommended by a friend of mine who uesd his services. I hired him for the pre-​drywall and pre-​settlement inspections. Overall, I am very satisfied with his serivce and attention to details. He caught a lot of items that the builder had overlooked and saved me a lot of potential issues with my home.
For the pre-​drywall, George called me the morning of inspection and was worried he might be late due to traffic. He actually made to the homesite early but I appreciated the phone call. He spent 3 hours inspecting the structural framing of the home. George checked all the load bearing beams, the fire proofing of the electrical, the plumbing pipes, and the wall surfaces. He found a lot of items that needed to be fixed. For the load bearing beams, there was one beam in my basement that was not aligned with the upper floors. He also saw noticed that there was an exposed area in the corner area of my roof that could have led to water leakage. I did not even noticed it until he pointed out to me. George measured every wall surface to make sure the framing was even and within coding. He spotted multiple walls that were evened and needed to be reframed. He also found electrical wiring that did not have proper fireproofing. After the inspection, George was kind enough to stay behind and talked to the construction manager on my behalf and go over his findings. The builder agreed with the items on his list and promptly fixed them. It was obvious that George has knowledgeable on home construction. He communicated my concerns to the builder and had instant credibility.
For the pre-​settlement inspection, George at the homesite early and ahead of appointment time. He is very well prepared with his ladder, laptop, tools, and measuring devices. As he was about to get started, he could not get his laptop to turn on. George made a quick walk to his car to grab the backup battery. I was impressed with his preparation. The pre-​settlement inspection took about 3.5 hours. George checked every door and open/​closed every window. He found a lot of items from his inspection. One of the biggest findings was that the upper floor furnance did not work. The gas valve was cut off by one of the subcontractor working on the house. I can’t imagine moving into the house without heat and figuring out why my heat would not turn on. George discovered this as he was checking my attic. There were a number of doors that needed to be adjusted and a windows that did not open properly. He also noticed that there was a tiny gap in my garage door that did not went down completely and needed to be recalibrated. George typed up a formal report of all his findings that I submitted to my builder. Normally, it takes 48 hours but George gave me a copy the evening of the inspection.
Overall, George has saved me a lot of potential issues with my home based his inspection findings. He answered all my questions and explained construction concepts at a level that is understandable. George is a constant professional in his work. He is very personable to deal with. I have called him on his cell phone with follow-​up questions. I will use George on all my future real estate transactions.

I’m an agent in DC and VA and I have used George twice now, once in each.
Not only is he a terrific home inspector, but he is a class A contractor, so you get twice the bang for the buck. My clients always love him and he always gives it to you straight.
