Tory was a recommendation from our real estate agent - and what a great contact to have. Tory and Kenyatta came out the next day after being contacted, luckily for us because he had a cancellation and a chance opening. We (my partner and I) are first-time home buyers and have basically no idea what we are doing. Tory showed us around and explained everything in a detailed and easy to understand manner. He was extremely friendly, informative, and thorough. What sets this company apart from many others is that they don't charge for a re-inspection and they came as a duo - so you just have the one upfront charge and the inspection was reasonably quick. Tory took us through not just all of what they were evaluating, but through some information regarding basic home maintenance. He maintains his relationships with his clients and made us feel very comfortable about reaching out in the future with questions. We feel lucky that we had this inspector and can't recommend them more!

Pre-Purchase Home Inspections FAQ
Common questions about pre-purchase home inspections in DMV.
Yes, newer homes in Northern Virginia can still have construction defects, grading issues, or system installation errors. A pre-purchase inspection gives you documented proof of the home's condition before you close.
We inspect the roof, foundation, electrical panel, plumbing, HVAC, attic, crawl space, and visible structural components. Every Northern Virginia inspection includes a written report with photos of all findings.
Yes, your inspection report documents defects the seller must address or account for in the sale price. Many Northern Virginia buyers use inspection findings to request repairs or a credit at closing.
Older homes in areas like Fairfax County and Arlington often have aging wiring, outdated plumbing materials, and foundation movement from clay soil. A pre-purchase inspection identifies these issues before they become your responsibility.
The buyer typically pays for the inspection as part of the due diligence process. Protect The Investment, LLC works directly with buyers across Northern Virginia to schedule and complete the inspection.
You can use the findings to renegotiate the purchase price, ask the seller to make repairs, or walk away if your contract includes an inspection contingency. Your inspection report from Protect The Investment, LLC supports each of those options.
