Home Inspections in Arlington County, VA
Arlington packs a lot of housing types into a small county. A buyer here might compare a high-rise condo in Rosslyn or Crystal City one weekend and a 1940s brick colonial in Cherrydale the next, so every inspection starts with understanding what kind of property you are actually buying.
Homes we inspect in Arlington
- Condos and apartments along the Rosslyn–Ballston and Crystal City corridors, where the inspection focuses on your unit: its heating and cooling, water heater, windows, appliances and visible plumbing.
- Brick colonials, Cape Cods and ramblers from the 1930s to the 1950s in neighborhoods such as Lyon Village, Westover and Arlington Forest.
- New infill houses built where an older home was taken down, often still inside the builder’s first-year warranty.
What We Pay Attention To in Arlington
Original systems in older houses
Houses from the middle of the last century can still have older wiring, ungrounded outlets or aging supply pipes. We note what we see and when an electrician or plumber should take a closer look.
Basement moisture
Many older Arlington homes have finished basements. Staining, efflorescence on masonry and the slope of the yard around the house all tell part of the story.
What belongs to the unit
In a condo, the roof, structure and shared systems usually belong to the association. We keep the report focused on what you will own and maintain.
