Marc's background in construction made him a great choice for our home inspector. He performed two home inspections during my home search, one pre-offer and one for an offer contingent on a home inspection. He was very thorough with both inspections and was able to alert us to major issues with the home that would have cost us time and money down the road. Since he has extensive knowledge from his construction background he was able to provide us with approximation of cost (only when asked) for items he found in our home inspection, which really help to us to understand how much to ask for from the seller. Straight forward and trustworthy!

FSI Home Inspections arrived before the scheduled time and were already working on the exterior portion of the inspection when I arrived. Their inspection was very thorough. And they dentified several deficiencies and provided explanation for each. After the home inspection, they provided a detailed final report which very thorough (with pictures and video) and was also color coded to help me navigate the highlights, safety concerns, general information and recommendations.
Also, on short notice, they scheduled a follow up inspection to inspect all items listed in their report.
Highly recommend!

FSI Home Inspections were both very helpful and responsive on our last minute inspection requet thatbwe need done on a Sunday. Marc was professional throughtout the whole process. He walked rhe house with is and explained all the deficiencies he spotted, including wiring issues and the air conditioner under preforming. We were able to negotiate with the seller to get them to fix the wiring and the air conditioning before we bought the house. Marc and FSI Home Inspections saved us thousands of dollars with their detailed home inspection.

The thought of purchasing a house in the Nova area is to say the least a daunting task. It's good to know that I chose the right home inspector for the job. Marc at FSI Home Inspections is honest, trustworthy, dependable, knowledgeable and also a Army veteran.
His inspection report was detailed and easy to read, even for a first time home buyer like myself.
I have no problem giving them a 5 star review.

They have the necessary skills, knowledge and expertise to provide detailed property inspections for your residential real estate transactions. I would hire them again.

It has been six months and they have still not completed a bathroom renovation. Four weeks were due to a vanity issue, but that was resolved and the continued delay rests squarely with the project manager, Marc Leon. So many things have been handled unprofessionally and disrespectfully. FSI was referred to me by an architect and she will be hearing about these complaints as well.
1. During demo, the crew scratched my stainless steel refrigerator door because they decided to haul their materials through the kitchen and into the garage instead of through the front door and outside to the garage. Once I discovered this, i had to supervise to ensure they stayed out of kitchen.
2. Tile work could only be done after 5 pm or on weekends. It took much longer than it should have. There was no quality control. The bathroom floor had to be redone in areas because it wasn't level. Apparently, the crew had one piece of defective tile left for shower tile and instead of ordering another box they installed it and attempted to cover it up with caulking. Once that was discovered by me, I had to wait three weeks for more tile. No apology from Marc Leon for the deception or delay.
3. The company that provided the countertop called me almost four weeks after it was installed to tell me they had not been paid the balance owed by FSI and Marc Leon had been unresponsive to their inquiries. At this point, I had already paid 90% of the costs.
4. Even though water was available in the garage and basement, the tile installers tried to use my kitchen sink!
5. At different times throughout this project, I'd asked for an itemized expense to ensure we remained on budget, Marc could never provide it.
6. Unreliable start times. There seemed to be a consistent lack of respect for the customer. He might tell me they team will arrive at 8 am but they wouldn't show up until 10. Or I would get a text out of the blue saying someone would be there in 10 minutes to do something.
7. Shower door floor seal ripped a few weeks after installation. I've contacted Marc and no response.
8. A week ago, the county inspector reviewed the work and they did not pass. I still have not heard from Marc. He has not responded to my inquiries on when he can fix the problem so inspection can clear.
I feel like I've been unbelievabley patient with FSI, but I need to move on to other more pressing matters and Marc knows it but continues to drag his heels through his unresponsiveness.
If I read a review like this before contracting with FSI, I would have tried my luck with another company.
