Testimonials

Scott was amazing. He answered our call on a Sunday night when no one else was picking up. He was flexible and came the next day. As first-time homeowners, he took time to make sure we understand everything we need to know about house maintenance, and gave us tips. He delivered a very detailed report super quickly, with pictures and instructions of every concern he saw and details on how to solve them. He was very professional and helpful, amazing service. Even our agent was impressed by him!

Scott was absolutely FANTASTIC! There's no other way of saying it - he was thorough, communicative, and proactive regarding our concerns. Our friends and family were astonished with the high-quality report that he produced for us. Without question, we'll be recommend him to everyone that we know!

Scott was exceptionally thorough and helpful! He made a point of explaining all of his findings to me in person in addition to documenting them, saving me a lot of time, effort, and difficulty after move-in. He was also able to pull together the report very quickly, allowing us to meeting our closing timeline. Would absolutely recommend working with him!
- I.I., February 2023
Scott is extremely friendly, knowledgeable, and trustworthy. We have an older house that we moved into a few years ago and wanted to check on the quality of the work that had been done before. The report Scott provided was exceedingly thorough and he caught a fair number of issues that could have bitten us had conditions obtained. In summation, Scott is good people who likely kept us from dying in a fire. Go Scott.
- N.F., September 2022
Wow - nothing negative at all to say about Scott. He was punctual, a very responsive communicator via email or text. Not knowing if we were going to actually need to hire him which he knew, he still took the time to help us understand a sticky situation we were in with a row house in DC that our daughter took occupancy of at the beginning of the month. Our first day on the property we saw so many things wrong with the place. Once we finally decided to hire Scott, he came out and inspected asap. His list not only included the problems we first noticed, but also identified 3 times more things than we did. Despite indoor temps in the high 80's because we didn't have the AC on when we met him at the house) he still worked very efficiently and was super thorough. Thankfully, the property management company is being very responsive. We're so grateful we found Scott. Don't hesitate - he's the man for the job!
- J.H., August 2022
Scott has conducted a thorough house inspection, which eased my concerns and anxiety to offer a bid for an old building. He is very responsive to any questions, skillful to clearly explain issues to me (as a lay person) with respect, and easy to communicate with. Scott also kindly advised minor fixing with rationale. I received multiple referrals to Scott when looking for a home inspector. When contacted, Scott immediately called me and explained the timeline of reporting (which he submitted in a very timely manner). I highly recommend Scott for home inspection.
- K.I., April 2022
Scott was a pleasure to interact with when scheduling the inspection and during it. He was professional, extremely knowledgable on the appliances and able to find issues as well as provide us with genera tips and knowledge for the upkeep of our new condo. He was thorough in his on-site review and the inspection report, and adhered to COVID-19 safety protocols. I would recommend him to anyone and would hire him again for future home inspections.
- S.A., January 2022
Scott was very easy to work with, he was punctual, knowledgeable and answered any questions I had in detail. Scott was very thorough in his inspection and explained everything he was doing. I highly recommend Scott to be your next home inspector.

If you're looking for a thorough, knowledgeable, and personable home inspection, look no further than District Home Inspection. Scott went above and beyond to inspect our property and ensure we understood all of his findings.
- A.F., August 2021
Scott has done an amazing professional job during my inspection process! I cannot put into words to describe his level of understanding, knowledgeable skill, time management and very helpful detail to everything involved in the process. I would certainly recommend Scott for any needed work. He is not only certified and licensed, but approachable in so many ways. He placed comfort in my first time home buying process. I feel that my home will be ready due to Scott’s careful details and attention. Scott noticed the smallest of the things that many would miss in the midst. It blew me away. The inspection report was swift and very well put together with all of the concerns. Scott not only point out things from his knowledge, but listened to what was also major for my family’s needs or greatest concerns. Scott is someone who you would want on your side during any inspection process. He went above and beyond!
- M.B., July 2021
Scott did a fantastic job with our home inspection. He explained areas of concern in terms that were easy to understand. The report was timely, thorough, and had very specific recommendations. I would definitely recommend Scott to other families looking for a home inspector.
- R.Y., July 2021

I highly recommend choosing Scott. He was very professional. He took the time to listen to my concern areas in advance and paid extra attention to these during inspection along with all required items. His report was thorough and comprehensive. He was extremely responsive and communicative through the process. He even helped me identify a potential repair vendor for an issue. I will absolutely work with him again for any future property inspection needs.
- S.S., February 2021
Scott inspected my potential new condo in February 2021. I was thinking about passing on an inspection because the condo was new construction. However, I am glad I used Scott, who was able to point out a few things that needed to be remedied and gave me additional peace of mind. Scott was very insightful, extremely professional, and easy to work with. He agreed to do a Saturday morning inspection which fit everyone else's schedule best. He provided great homeowner tips as he went through the inspection. Scott turned around his report on the same day as the inspection. He even agreed to come back to the building to do additional testing which could not be done originally because, through no fault on his part, certain systems were not accessible on the original date. That was above and beyond my expectations. I highly recommend you use Scott for your next home inspection.
- K.L., February 2021
Scott was very helpful, friendly and efficient. He explained what he was doing throughout the process and gave lots of helpful tips on each piece of equipment. As a first time home buyer, this was essential information for me.
- W.H., January 2021
Scott was so thorough and knowledgeable. As a first time home buyer, I asked a lot of questions and clarifications. Scott was so patient to explain everything in detail and added extra information in the report for my reference. He definitely went above and beyond. If you can get Scott, book him!
- J.H., September 2020
Scott was great. He was thorough, very knowledgeable, frank and friendly. The turnaround time on his inspection report was same day! Amazing. If you need your new condo or house inspected, I highly recommend Scott!
- C.S., July 2020
Scott was very responsive in his communication and was prompt and efficient during the inspection. He took time to explain and walk me through any questions I had about the property. The report was thorough, including labeled pictures, manuals, and areas of concern. Scott was professional, knowledgeable and personable throughout the entire experience. I would highly recommend him.
- T.H., July 2020
As first-time buyers with no realtor, it's been tricky gauging who/which company would be trustworthy or do a good job with inspections and all other tasks related to buying a property. I'm so glad to have stumbled upon Scott on the internet for the inspection-- not only was he responsive and was able to come by at short notice, but he was also very thorough and meticulous in his inspection. We appreciated how he explained everything to us in clear terms and gave us advice about maintenance, what we should keep an eye on periodically, and what the lifetime of certain big appliances / water tanks, etc. were. He was open to questions and very friendly, but not in that overly conversational and joking manner -- i.e. it was clear he was concentrating and taking his job seriously. Thanks Scott!
- J.T., July 2020
Scott is a great communicator and very easy to work with. He did the inspection for a new condo and identified items that needed attention that we would have not known to check. He also took the time to explain how the HVAC and electrical systems work and provided explanations in images in his final report that be useful to us in the future. I would certainly recommend Scott to anyone and use him again if needed.
- L.A., Washington DC, June 2020
Scott was very quick to respond to my appointment request, and had great communication throughout the whole process. He took appropriate COVID-19 precautions, was very professional, arrived one-time, and quickly delivered the report after the inspection.
- N.M., Washington DC, May 2020
Scott is extremely professional. He arrived early and was very meticulous in his inspection. He provided an overview of the inspection and ensured that I understood what he was doing and why he was doing it. He also gave immediate feedback on what he was observing, providing as much or as little explanation as I requested. He always appeared competent, and he was forthcoming when explaining the limitations of his ability to provide technical information. The Inspection Report that Scott provided was very thorough, and it documented in detail the issues he identified with accompanying pictures. He also provided recommendations for us to maintain the property as well as questions to ask of the seller before purchase. He provided the report within 24 hours of the inspection. His report also included the ability to create a list to provide to the seller for repairs. I would 100% use him again, and I would not hesitate to recommend him to my friends or family.
- J.T., April 2020
Scott was extremely knowledgeable and you can really tell he cares about what he does. He took his time and answered any questions we had fully, providing any additional recommendations that came up along the way. Would highly recommend Scott and District Home Inspection to anyone in the DC area!

Scott was extremely friendly, efficient, informative and thorough. He encouraged my daughter to observe him and ask questions as he worked . As she followed him he made sure she understood what she was looking at and the fundamentals of how things worked and what maintenance needed to be performed. His report was very thorough and included pictures and explanations. My daughter, my husband, and myself thought he did a great job on our condo inspection. We would definitely use his services again!
- B.B., February 2020
Scott is an extremely knowledgeable and thorough professional. He took the time to walk through the inspection and explain not only any issues that were observed with the home but also how to properly maintain and care for the appliances / systems post inspection throughout ownership. His report is very thorough and contains a wealth of information that I will certainly be referencing over and over as it can easily serve as a how-to of home ownership maintenance which pays for itself and them some. Highly Recommend! A+ Inspector!

Scott did a thorough job in explaining and showing us areas of the house that needed improvement. Through all of explanations, his main concern was safety for us and overall ensuring sound structure in the house. Nothing on the report surprised us as he was clear on the day of the inspection of everything that was noted. I would recommend him to a friend knowing that he was honest, clear and knew all aspects of an older home.
- G.P., March 2019
Scott did a thorough job of inspecting the home and identifying potential problems. As a first time home buyer, I truly appreciated the tips and advice given during inspection and I highly recommend District Home Inspection.
- M.B., February 2019
Scott conducted several inspections for me throughout my home-buying process. He was extremely knowledgable and patiently took time to explain issues and answer questions while being efficient. As a homeowner in DC himself, Scott understands how many of the older homes in DC neighborhoods were built and knows what to look for when conducting the inspection. I felt extremely confident that he was providing a thorough and unbiased report. In one instance, he found that my dishwasher was malfunctioning at the end of an inspection, and I was able to convince my seller to replace with with a much nicer version. In that instance, Scott's work paid for itself! Overall I would highly recommend Scott to others buying homes in the DC-area.

We recommend Scott Robertson without hesitation. He handled our home inspection with expertise and diligence, and was a pro in every way. As he progressed through the house, he provided us with a lot of useful information about structures, the performance of home systems and home maintenance. He encouraged us to ask questions if we didn't understand something, and patiently answered all.
