FAQ

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Older homes in areas like Fairfax County and Arlington often have aging wiring, outdated plumbing materials, and foundation movement from clay soil.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.

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.

George Boston Google review · July 2026

I had a really good home inspection experience with Tory and Jennifer. They arrived on time and performed a thorough inspection of my soon to be home. Tory took his time explaining what the inspection would cover prior to beginning and even walked me through things he saw in the home that required adjustment. Full report was delivered within 48 hours as mentioned. Very professional and knowledgeable experience I had with this company. I would definitely recommend.
