"Encouraging successful home ownership since 1981"

G. Gilbert (Gil) Engler has over 25 years of experience, with over 10,000 fee paid inspections all around the greater Washington metropolitan area and beyond.

"Mine is a service business and I am at your service. There are few advocates in the home-buying process. The Home Inspector is one of them. My job, as I see it, is to find, discuss and document significant deficiencies with the home while also emphasizing its good points. To me, problems are opportunities. Most problems found during home inspections are readily fixable; few are more onerous. I put problems into perspective. I'll tell you how critical they are in terms of immediacy, scope of work and expense."

"It's also critical to educate you about your prospective home so that during your stewardship of the property problems with the home are minimal. This takes an understanding of the home, its systems and all maintenance requirements; hence the importance of your attendance at the inspection. The "tutorial" during the inspection provides the foundation for this knowledge while the inspection manual provides the informational support needed through the years of ownership."
