Welcome to Blackwell Home Inspections

Buying a home is one of the most significant investments you’ll ever make. Don’t do it without a professional home inspection.

While you believe you may have found the perfect home, how can you be sure there aren’t potentially serious and unknown effects that could make your future investment a costly one?

At Blackwell Home Inspections, we combine years of experience with advanced home inspection technology to conduct a thorough, accurate and unbiased evaluation of the property you are looking to buy or sell. Having your home professionally inspected can potentially save you thousands of dollars on repairs or negotiations. Without an inspection you might miss critical defects that could affect the home’s value and your overall investment.

“Very thorough and professional job. The summary report Bruce gave us was great; it was easy to understand yet very thorough and included pictures of the problem areas too. The loan officer at the bank and our insurance agent found the report very helpful. It had all the info they needed to get their stuff done.”

“I was impressed from the time I made the appointment and throughout the inspection process. Bruce was thorough, professional and knowledgeable. A report is provided upon completion of the inspection as well as in an email copy—no waiting for results! I would strongly recommend him and will use him in the future.”

“I recently needed a reputable home inspector and through a recommendation found Bruce Blackwell. I was not disappointed. He did a thorough house inspection and explained everything to me completely. Most of all, Bruce clearly knew what he was doing and demonstrated integrity and professionalism in our interactions on the phone and in person. He proved himself to be a man true to his word.”

“As a first-time homebuyer, I was unaware how many people are involved when purchasing a home. I found out quickly that you have to have a knowledgeable team behind you. Having an ASHI Certified home inspector is an important part of that team. Bruce Blackwell is very knowledgeable, went over

every detail and aspect of my home, and answered all questions, so I had no doubts about my potential purchase. He was able to deliver the inspection report to the Realtor and my lender that same day, making my process go smoothly. Bruce, I thank you for making something that can be an overwhelming ordeal into something that was done professionally with integrity and thoroughness. I would highly recommend Bruce for your home inspection and will call on him again for my future inspections.”

“Bruce was referred to me by someone I trust. I asked for the inspection as a homeowner rather than a prospective buyer so I could assess what needed to be done to my home with an eye toward selling sometime in the near future. His inspection was very thorough, very professional, and very honest. He noted some issues but also provided recommendations as to how to handle them. I would absolutely call Bruce again in the future.”

“I was a first-time homebuyer so I wasn’t sure what to expect from an inspection, or what questions to ask. I didn’t know who I could trust and who would be knowledgeable of older homes. Some friends of mine referred me to Bruce with Blackwell Home Inspections. As Bruce was inspecting my home, I felt comfortable asking questions. Bruce wasn’t in a rush to get to the next customer. I appreciated how he was willing to share homeowner tips such as how often to change the air filters. Needless to say, I learned a great deal that morning! Overall, Bruce was extremely thorough and his price was reasonable. He made me feel more comfortable about my decision to buy the home and what to expect down the road in terms of repairs and maintenance.”

“I have used Blackwell Home Inspections for several of my investment properties and am very impressed with the professionalism with which the work was done. Bruce is extremely detailed and thorough when I need him to be, and willing to work with me when I only need portions of the inspection done. He has been very prompt and is willing to schedule inspections at convenient times.

When Bruce completes an inspection, the reports are very helpful—not only in identifying problems but in applying rough costs for any repairs. As a businessman, I want good, accurate information in order to make sound business decisions, and it is nice to receive the information I need from a friendly, easy-to-get-along-with source.”

“Bruce was professional, punctual, organized and thorough. He was fully automated—he took photos and was able to generate a report right there on site. He found several things that needed to be addressed and I found him extremely valuable. I walked around with him and he was cordial and answered all my questions.”

“I would like to thank you for the excellent service you provided when we purchased our new home in Chester, VA after being transferred here by the military. You took your time and answered all the questions I had. It was a definite pleasure doing business with a professional like you. I used Bruce Blackwell to inspect our new home prior to closing, and again at the end of our first year warranty.

I’ve already recommended his service to others here at Fort Lee and would highly recommend him to others.”
