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Older homes in areas like Fairfax County and Arlington often have aging wiring, outdated plumbing materials, and foundation movement from clay soil.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 Restoration 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 Restoration LLC supports each of those options.

Tory was very helpful during our inspection. He was thorough and ensured he checked every major and minor concern. His passion and commitment for the job allowed him to provide us with a very open and honest review. He detailed his concerns and provided proof. We appreciate him assisting us throughout this journey.

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!

Tory and Tom were absolutely awesome to work with and will meet you at whatever your knowledge level is to ensure you feel comfortable in the conversation. They were super thorough and most importantly to us, practical in explanations and associated estimates. Really great guys you'll immediately trust and they are fantastic at what they do.

Tory and Protect the Investment, LLC are lifesavers!!! My contractors discovered some unexpected mold in my condo when completing repairs after a water leak. I called PTI and Tory was out at my property the next day. He and his team completed the remediation the day after the his initial assessment. He was prompt, professional, and affordable. I HIGHLY recommend.

I had an outstanding experience working with Tory for a home inspection on a single-family property. From start to finish, Tory was incredibly thorough and professional. The inspection report was extremely detailed, clearly outlining every issue that needed to be addressed, with supporting visuals and clear explanations. Thanks to the thoroughness of his report, we were able to successfully negotiate concessions with the sellers to address several major issues he identified — a huge win that added real value to the process. What truly stood out was the level of follow-up support I received. Tory made himself fully available to answer all of my follow-up questions, especially when certain things raised by the general contractor didn’t seem quite right. His input was instrumental in helping me choose the right contractor and avoid unnecessary work. If you’re looking for someone who’s detailed, accessible, and genuinely looking out for your best interest, I highly recommend Tory. You’ll be in good hands.
