Andrew Warde, ACI

When quality counts, call for the very best in professional home inspection services. I am one of the most seasoned and experienced home inspector in this market area! 

All the experts (including articles published in This Old House, Good Housekeeping, Smart Money, etc.) and television broadcasts (such as on 20/20, and the Today Show) recommend ASHI as a source for competent inspectors. You can trust an inspector that has verifiable experience and credentials. There are about 100 ASHI Certified Inspectors in all of Maryland. Why trust anyone else? ASHI is the only professionally accredited home inspection organization. Andrew Warde has been ASHI Certified longer than most inspectors have been in business.

Many inspectors carry a ladder on the roof as a prop (or not at all). I carry a "long ladder" to every inspection and walk roofs. Be assured there will be no short cuts taken.

Never a claim in 19 years. No other local inspector can say the same. There is a simple reason I am one of the most in demand inspectors in central Maryland. Call for additional information.

Andrew was very thurough and explained things to the buyers at a lecel that they could understand. Excellent home inspector.

This world has far too many unqualified and shady home inspectors, but Andy is qualitatively different. From the get-go, you feel like he's in your corner. His report is extremely detailed, and his approach is inhumanely detailed (which is EXACTLY what you want from an inspector). Andy is an all-star home inspector. You would be remiss not to select him for services.

Hi Andy, Thanks again for doing a fantastic job. Your report is first rate and cutting edge in layout, photos, and web-links. We just had a home inspection on our vacation house and on a 10 scale the inspector ranked a 2 at best. Thanks, Greg Greisman P.S.

Andrew was indeed a "10" on the inspector scale. He had all the knowledge, all the tools, took his time, created a professional report with pictures, and (in his spare time) was able to to please seller, agent and nosy buyer with his calm demeanor. I will always use and recommend him in the future. Tom Suhrstedt

Gauge Attributes

Customers can Gauge service providers on the following 10 attributes. Not all attributes will apply to all service providers.

  1. Punctuality and Timely Completion: No one likes to wait or have large windows of time where service providers "might" get to them. No one likes the job to drag out because of the service provider's other projects or if it becomes apparent that the SP did not plan well.
  2. Workmanship: No one likes shoddy work, shortcuts, or tradesmen who take advantage of the customer's lack of awareness of what is good quality work.
  3. Responsibility: Many home owners do not wear shoes in their home and service providers should wear covers over their shoes when necessary. SP's should not travel into rooms that are not in the work scope. They should not use the toilet without asking. If the SP soils or breaks something, they should try to replace it.
  4. Professionalism: A Professional does not try to add unnecessary work to the contract. Nor do they try to make themselves look good by demeaning their competition or by discussing religion or politics. Professionals stand behind their price and make the experience pleasant with the customer.
  5. Cleans Up Daily: Customers like to know that each day when service providers leave the room, it is in a broom swept condition, meaning nothing laying around loose, dangerous, all cords are rolled up, and trash or debris is contained or removed. SP's should clean up at the end of the job.
  6. Friendly: No one wants to hear service providers' personal problems. The service provider should be pleasant to be around.
  7. Responsive to a Customer's Call: Call backs should be made in the same day and the service provider should do what was promised.
  8. Well Organized: Generally speaking, from start to finish, the process went well, any concerns were addressed or corrected, and the repair or project ended well with everyone satisfied.
  9. Hygiene: The service provider should look clean, smell clean, and wear shoe covers indoors when needed.
  10. Recommended: Would you recommend this individual or company?
