Dean from J&B Discovery Inspections was great. He came to our house the day after we contacted him, and not only did he inspect for mold in our bathroom, but he did a thorough review of all the places where our house might be keeping moisture. He also gave us tips on how we can better equip our home for future mold problems, including specific instructions that were helpful for first-time homeowners like us. Because he's an inspector and not a contractor, he doesn't get any kickbacks or anything by diagnosing problems that don't exist, so his information and advice was easy to trust (he's been working in construction for 30+ years and still does continuing education to keep learning). He also gave us tips on how to choose a good contractor for other work in our home, which was really helpful, since it's hard to find a good contractor in D.C. We'll continue to use Dean as a resource as we make improvements to our home. We would recommend him.

I am so glad I went with J&b over any other company. Mr. Dean was VERY THOROUGH and took his time from the crawl space to the roof. I had many questions and he answered them all and affirmed which ones were good and which ones were less significant and would be inexpensive to fix or that he thought I could easily fix myself. His inspections can take a while because they’re so thorough- my realtor even became a bit restless but Mr. Dean stuck to quality and continued to take his time and operate in my best interest. All and all I will be using him for any inspection I ever need.

Can’t speak highly enough about JB Discovery Inspection praises high enough
Dean was available on short notice for a home inspection in a situation where our contingency was about to end. Found a few issues and showed us throughout the rest of the house why we should be confident that it was built properly.
Strongly recommend for the peace of mind he provided and great value compared to some other inspectors.

My wife and I are considering selling our condo and we also had pipes replaced. We wanted to have inspection done to identify any issues that could impact a sale and, specifically, provide a second opinion on the pipe replacement to ensure that quality work was done.
This inspection was one of the most thorough and detailed I have ever experienced. He not only did an in-depth assessment, he took the time to walk my wife and me with him to explain his findings and answer questions. He spent time in bathrooms, the washer closet, the water heater room, etc. He even went into the crawl space above our condo to look around and took us with him. He was there for a few hours and we never felt like he rushed and he patiently answered our questions. This also showed that he didn’t cram appointments into a day, which allowed him to spend the required time with his customers. To top it all off, he emailed us a copy of the inspection report week and half later. Amazingly, after all of that, he was less expensive than the other inspectors I have worked with in the past.
He also sent us a copy of the report when it was done.

Dean was very patient and thoroughly explained issues that he found. He helped us out with some untrustworthy contractors we've been having a tough experience with, too.
