Can anyone recommend a home inspector who specializes in pre-WWII detached houses? Ideally someone familiar with those in Arlington, Alexandria, Falls Church, etc.

Thanks for any recommendations.

I imagine that a realtor in Old Town Alexandria would have some names.

Well, I found one, and he was really great: Apex Home Inspection/Felix Moreno ( which he pronounces like Dan Marino.) Electrical engineer, former Coast Guard guy who owns an older house himself. He was WAY more thorough than the guy we hired a few years ago. He went was in the attic, on the roof, taking photos and explaining what he saw in a way I easily understood. Great analysis and perspective. Took almost four hours!

He sent his very thorough report in record time too. He finished the inspection around 4:00 pm, and the report was in my email just after 7:00 am the next morning. We'd given him till the end of not that day but the next one.

I'm sure he's just as good on newer houses. Actually, this one had newer systems and appliances, and he was very knowledgeable of their potential weak points. Great guy and gave us really solid, detailed info.
