"Mike is a home inspector you can trust! He'll tell you exactly what's going on and can make recommendations if anything needs to be corrected. He'll make sure you get the best value and aren't walking into a secret nightmare"

Eric Pustmueller

"If you own a home in Central VA Mike Schmitt with Joe The Home Pro is your man. There's nothing like finding out what been causing that leak after water damage has come in and destroyed your basement, or that the roof that looked good to you at purchase was actually in need of replacing. With those downspouts that should have been directed away from the house, they caused the basement to flood, or to find out why your house caught on fire after it's already burnt down. Getting a home inspection and knowing the value of what you have and what necessary repairs are needed is priceless during construction of a new home, in the purchase of a home, or even after you've purchased and need to know what's going on. Mike is thorough in his inspections and takes the time to explain exactly what's causing the problems and how to fix them. And for all my fellow real estate agents out there, if you want an amazing job done to protect your clients and a comprehensive explanation to them on how to retain the value of their home, you're never gonna regret making Mike your go-to man for home inspections."
