FROM THE PRESIDENT:

I feel DC Home Inspection Services' strong points are with our inspectors and their ability to communicate to the customer what we found during a home inspection. Our objective is to accurately explain what was found and what can be done to correct the situation, not scare the buyers away or sensationalize a problem to justify our presents. I also feel another strong point is with our experience derived from our longevity in the business. Drawing off technical and hands-on experience and the ability to rationalize any condition. Drawing off past experiences is the key to a great inspection. This kind of knowledge can not be obtained in a study at home course or from just 2 years in the business. Your faith in DC Home Inspection Service is backed by well over 10,000 satisfied customers.

I'd like to thank you in advance for selecting DC Home Inspection Service and I look forward to meeting you in person at your home inspection.

Charles D. Kester
President
