I purchased my 1st home in May 2026, and PTI came highly recommended for my home inspection. They were so thorough and easily lived up to their reputation. They caught so many things and saved me so much money before closing. I'm incredibly thankful for the team and would definitely recommend them for other home owners.

FAQ
Home Inspections FAQ
Common questions about home inspections in DMV.
Yes, newer homes in Northern Virginia can still have builder oversights, construction defects, and systems that need attention. An inspection gives you documented facts about the property's condition before you close.
A home inspection covers all accessible major systems, including the roof, foundation, electrical, plumbing, HVAC, attic, and crawlspace. In Northern Virginia, inspectors also watch for clay-soil foundation movement, aging sewer lines, and moisture issues specific to the region.
Yes, attending your inspection is encouraged so you can ask questions and see conditions firsthand. Being present helps you understand the written report and plan any follow-up repairs.
A home inspection is not legally required in Virginia, but it is strongly recommended given the state's mix of older housing stock and region-specific risks like termite activity, crawlspace moisture, and foundation settlement. Skipping it can leave you with unexpected repair costs after closing.
Common findings include aging electrical systems, plumbing problems, moisture in basements and crawlspaces, HVAC deficiencies, and foundation movement caused by the area's heavy clay soils. Termite activity is also a known risk throughout Northern Virginia.
Yes, we inspect homes for sellers across Northern Virginia so you know a property's condition before it goes to market. A pre-listing inspection helps you address issues early and builds buyer confidence.
