Tim did a great job inspecting my home in anticipation of selling. He made clear recommendations which he sent to me in less than 24 hours. I highly recommend Tim to anyone looking for a pre-sale inspection to avoid surprises and have peace of mind in negotiating the sale of your home.

I have worked with Tim (1 True North Home Inspections) several times, for several different clients. In my most recent sales transaction, I reached out to Tim to see if he could come out on a SATURDAY to do a home inspection for a buyer who ratified on their sales contract on a FRIDAY NIGHT and was scheduled to go on BUSINESS TRAVEL on SUNDAY. It was IMPORTANT to my buyers that they be on the premises during the home inspection. While Tim does not NORMALLY do home inspections on Saturdays, he accommodated our request, and (as per usual) did a phenomenal job. He's always extremely professional, thorough with his inspections, and has good tips for my clients to follow after the inspections. I do not hesitate in recommending Tim to fellow agents and future clients. He is a CLASS ACT!

Tim is incredibly thorough, honest, and professional. Would recommend for anyone looking to have an inspection done. I feel strongly in following through with my purchase, and I know that the inspection was detailed, honest, and thorough. I am incredibly thankful he was able to do my home inspection.

I have worked with Tim for a few years now, and he has become my go-to home inspector when my clients ask for a referral. He is very thorough with his inspections and does an excellent job of conveying information to clients in a way that is easy to understand. I look forward to many more years of doing business together.

Tim is a GREAT home inspector. He is very detailed and patient with the clients. Extremely knowledgeable and thorough. I use him myself for all my purchases and have been in the real estate business for over 30 years.

We are so thankful for Tim being a part of our new home experience. We have worked with him twice, and both times he proved to have a high level of expertise and professionalism. His attention to detail helped us to best leverage opportunities to ensure our build was top-notch. He facilitated our pre drywall inspection and our final inspection before settlement. His reports are brilliantly detailed, with pictures, that made our conversations about his findings very easy with our builders. I highly recommend Tim and 1 True North for all home inspections needs! Thanks Tim! We look forward to working with you again.

Tim is the man, he is very thorough with his inspections. He goes the extra mile making sure to catch every single issue, doesn’t matter how small it seems. Came out in the freezing cold and extra early for the appointment. Can’t recommended him enough

Tim and his team performed a pre-listing inspection of our home. True North was on time, professional, courteous, detailed and efficient. Tim provided an informative inspection report within a few hours of completing the inspection. (If only my in-laws were as kind and caring as Tim...)

Tim Diviney was unbelievably thorough, and answered all of my questions, really helping me understand any issues with the house, as well as giving me sage advice on some remodeling possibilities I was considering, even though that was beyond the scope of the inspection. He was happy to share not just the results of the inspection, but his deep understanding of buildings and the way things work. I was totally delighted. This was the most thorough home inspection I have ever seen.

Tim Diviney arrived early and stayed late, doing an incredibly thorough job of inspecting a large home and numerous outbuildings. He produced multiple reports in the same day showing clear recommendations, level of urgency, and rationale for various findings and issues. I highly recommend him, definitely top notch professionalism and skill!

We hired 1 True North for an inspection of our new home and are extremely happy with their services. Tim arrived early and prepared for the job, having already climbed down from a thorough inspection of the roof by the time we arrived. He was extremely detailed and professional in interactions with us and the seller. Unlike other inspectors we’ve worked with in the past, he focused on important high-cost items and future risks and trade offs we need to know as homeowners, rather than minor or cosmetic issues. After finding a leak, he thoroughly searched for secondary effects like wet insulation and new stains on the floor below. Tim let us follow along on the inspection and discussed all his findings at length. He provided a detailed report with photos of every issue found, and took the time to walk us through each item. We hired Tim to come back to re-inspect after repairs, and he was just as great the second time, remembering the issues and verifying the repairs resolved all the issues he found previously. We would highly recommend this company’s services.

Tim from 1 True North was really helpful inspecting every details about the home we are purchasing. He spent 3 hours to inspect all the details and taught me a few tricks to take care of the home as well. He is the man for the job! Thanks!

Tim was friendly and diligent during our inspection. We are first time homebuyers and he was very patient with our endless questions. He took the time to explain different systems in a way that we could understand. We highly recommend him!

Tim is a top-notch home inspector. He has provided services to me for multiple houses. He is thorough, articulate, helpful, and takes the time to really make sure the client understands the ins and outs of their homes as well as options for recommendations to remediate issues he's found. He also provides great value and doesn't nickel and dime unlike competing home inspectors in Loudoun county. I highly recommend Tim for any home inspection.

5 stars isn't enough for 1 True North. Tim is the most professional and competent person I've ever hired, and I would never purchase a home without his inspection. He spent over 3 hours inspecting every crevice and deep dark hole from the far reaches of the attic to the crawl space under the house. He used a bevy of instruments to test all home components (outlets, presence of gas leaks, etc.) His report came with detailed pictures and videos to backup his analysis, which was especially invaluable when he was on the roof. The report also included make and model numbers of all major appliances and HVAC systems. I could sing his praises all day. And to top it all off, Tim was extremely friendly and personable; I felt very comfortable asking any and all questions. His inspection and insight made all the difference in my home buying. Tim, thank you for your hard work and dedication to your craft!

Tim is a great guy to work with. I really enjoyed working with him and taking advantage of his expertise. His service doesn't end right there, you can call him after 2 yrs and ask him a question, he will be there for you. I would 100% recommend him.

Incredibly professional and thorough inspector. Given how important attention to detail is in Home Inspections, and the potential consequences of not doing this job well, it is definitely something that helps put the mind at ease to have such a good job done. Would highly recommend.

Tim was professional, on-time, and very easy to work with. He performed our home inspection and we had the report by the afternoon. He was extremely detailed and we feel confident in his findings. I would recommend him especially for other 1st time home buyers like us.

Tim's thorough inspection of our house made us feel confident that we knew the house inside and out. He spent a long time looking at every inch of it and we received a detailed report that included pictures of the inspected areas. He also gave detailed information for repairs and recommendations for improved safety. We recommend Tim and 1 True North Home inspections highly.

I can't say enough good things! Tim was very responsive and was able to fit us into his schedule on short notice. He was extremely knowledgeable and was able to answer all of our crazy homebuyer questions during our home and radon inspection. Top notch service!

Hannah Tate

Tim and his team provided an exceptional inspection. He arrived on time and was very detail oriented in his report. This is the third property I have purchased and by far he was the most thorough and was able to identify items the owners themselves had not caught, despite the home being exceptionally cared for. I would absolutely use Tim again and in the future. Thank you Tim for your professionalism.

All around great service. He was very helpful and taught me as much as I wanted to know. I showed up and the job was already being done. I would recommend this to all my friend.

Thomas Wellington

Tim showed up earlier than we did for the job and we were early ourselves. He went straight into the inspection and was very on top of everything. After the inspection he went through with us what he had found and how we can manage our future home. The price for the inspection was also great!

We recently used 1 True North Home Inspections and were highly impressed with Mr. Diviney's meticulousness and professionalism with our home inspection. He explained every aspect of the inspection thoroughly once the inspection was completed. Furthermore, he provided a detailed inspection report electronically within hours after the inspection. The level of detail he provided verbally and in the report we greatly appreciated because he educates the home buyer and conveys in his assessment minor and major issues which helps the prospective home buyer arrive at a more informed assessment that will inform their decision-making. The report contained photos of every aspect of the inspection and detailed notes that accompanied the photos. This is my second home purchase and 1 True North was far more detailed in this inspection compared to my previous purchase with a different inspection company. I would highly recommend 1 True North Home Inspections and Mr. Diviney. It is well worth your investment.

Glad we went with 1 True North! Tim was very friendly to us and thorough with his inspection, explained everything to us, and answered all of our annoying first-time-home-buyer questions. We also needed the inspection performed within 5 days of when we started looking for inspectors and Tim was willing and able to perform the inspection at our house an hour away from their office on the July 4th Holiday... and he had the report ready for us that same night! Definitely would recommend to anyone looking for an inspector!

To hire a roofing contractor, start by researching local companies with good reviews and proper licensing. Request quotes from multiple contractors, verify their insurance and certifications, and ask for references. Always ensure you get a written contract that outlines the scope of work, timeline, and payment terms.

4. How to check if a roofing company is legit?
+-

Check if a roofing company is legit by verifying their business license, insurance, and local certifications. Look for memberships in professional associations, read customer reviews, and ask for recent project references. A legitimate company will be transparent and provide all documentation upon request.

5. How to choose a roofing company?
+-

When choosing a roofing company, consider their experience, customer reviews, warranty offerings, and quality of materials. Make sure they provide clear communication, detailed estimates, and a solid portfolio of completed projects. Local expertise is also a major advantage for understanding regional roofing needs.

6. How do you know if your roofing contractor is ripping you off?
+-

Warning signs that your roofing contractor might be ripping you off include vague contracts, pressure to pay large upfront deposits, lack of proper documentation, and unexplained price increases. Always ask for itemized estimates and written guarantees, and avoid contractors who avoid answering your questions directly.
