Hi,

We just had our offer on a house in Manassas Park accepted by the seller. I'd like to get some recommendations from folks on a few items.

Who would you recommend as a home inspector (our agent made a recommendation - I'd just like some other advice)

Who would you recommend to do some interior painting (Insured, BBB, etc...)

Who would you recommend for fences (our neighborhood has white picket only, if that makes a difference).

Thanks for all of you suggestions.

I had a good experience with this guy a few years ago: John Bouldin | ProTechs Home Inspections | Christiansburg, Virginia | ASHI, American Society of Home Inspectors (http://www.ashi.org/homeinspectors/Virginia/Christiansburg/14560HF/ - broken link)

He was very thorough, and he also took pictures while he was doing the inspection and then put them all on a CD for us to have. I wanted to use him on the house I purchased a few months ago, but he was not available and I needed the inspection done PDQ.

Thanks oneasterisk for your recommendation to John Bouldin. Based on your recommendation and some research on the web, we had John performed our home inspection. He is very thorough (he checked every single corner of our home and didn't miss even one power outlet!) and took a lot of pictures like you said. He not only showed us where the power and water shutoffs are and how often to change the air filters and re-fill the caulk around the tub but also gave us a home systems guide showing us how to work with the utility system at home. We highly recommend John to all home owners!
