This is the first time I have used this service. Alex was very courteous, prompt and knowledgeable. He was able to fit me in in the time frame requested and sent emails outlining the process. Once on-site he was thorough and clearly knew the subject matter. He was able to explain what he found and delivered his report within 24 hours. An unexpected bonus was a page of recommendations of people he knew to do various home repairs/projects. All in all, a very positive experience!

We asked Alex to provide a structural inspection of our basement to determine the cause of some moisture seepage in a corner of our basement. His inspection was thorough and he determined that there was no underlying structural damage, to the foundation or walls, but instead was due to drainage issues outside of the house. He made several recommendations as to what we could do to resolve the issue and recommended several contractors we could follow up with. We were very satisfied with his professionalism and would enthusiastically recommend him to anyone requiring an inspection of their home for any reason.

Virginia's Choice Home Inspections is the best engineer inspector out there. He shows up when he says he will, he delivers reports when he says he will, he is thorough, and he is professional. You simply could not ask for anyone better.

Alex is wonderful to work with. He was at the site early and took his time looking at every detail. He went over everything in clear terms and taught me a lot about wells and other details that come with living outside of the city. I feel very confident about our new home now that Alex has inspected it. I highly recommend using his services.

Our experience with Virginia's Choice Home Inspections was stellar. Steve was very friendly and professional. He was thorough with the inspection, and also when he explained it to us. He gave us solid advice on dealing with the minor, luckily, items that needed to be addressed. Anyone who uses Virginia's Choice can be assured that they will be well taken care of.

Rayfield is the way to go on any home inspection - especially if the property needs TLC.
We have used him multiple times and would highly recommend to a new homeowner or a seasoned investor. If you can, adding the structural analysis service is very helpful.

Using VA Choice Home Inspections is making an investment in the safety and value of your home. The inspection we requested saved us some very expensive potential damage from falling of the kind that did major damage to others in our neighborhood. Our consultation also gave us some great ideas for potential, valuable upgrades we could make. We are very happy with our relationship with VA Choice.

Alex was beyond any other inspector I have ever used and I have moved 4 times in the last 12 years. He was on time, extremely thorough, follow up was excellent. If you are a first time home buyer you really really want Alex and if you've done this before, you still want him.

Alex was able to squeeze me into his schedule almost immediately when I needed him to take a look at some structural elements on my house. He was booked solid and had some upcoming travel but made it work. He even answered some follow-up questions I had via text after he had left! Really appreciate his responsiveness and professionalism!

Alex performed a very comprehensive inspection of our new construction project and documented his results clearly and thoroughly, including pictures and specific issues that need to be addressed. We are very pleased with his work and recommend him highly.

Janet Gerney

Working with Alex for our home inspection was a great experience! We've used other home inspectors for homes we have previously bought/sold, and Alex was by far, more thorough, informative, and professional than the others. He took the time to answer our questions and explain his findings in great detail.
He made our inspection so much less stressful for us!
We highly recommend using Alex if you're buying or selling a home.

James Klemic

Alex did an amazing job in the report and with the drone and pictures. He had to go in a small nasty crawl space where we got to know what was happening underneath. The snow and freezing weather did not stop him. Thank you Alex

Alex from Virginia’s Choice Home Inspection was a pleasure to work with. He was personal, friendly, and professional in our interactions. It is clear he understands homes inside and out and he comes with a background in engineering. He did the inspection and delivered the report later that day.

We couldn't be happier having worked with Alex Rayfield and Virginia Choice Home Inspections for the inspection of our new home. Alex was thorough, prompt and delightful! He prepared us ahead of time for what to expect. At the conclusion of the exhaustive inspection appointment, he went step by step through everything he found, flagging any issues and educating us as to what expect when we moved in with the home's various systems. Along with his final report, complete with photographs and any issues separated by importance, he also provided us with his preferred list of vendors covering the whole array of home maintenance needs. No doubt we will refer to this list again and again. We can't thank Alex enough for a job well done and recommend Virginia Choice Home Inspections without reservation!

I am thankful for the day I was referred to VCHI. Alex has been both professional & personal at the same time. Excellent comms throughout the process (i.e.; sometimes delays happen, but at least he communicated when there was one and with good reasoning).

We are BIG fans! We felt so taken care of by Alex & Hunter. Not only did they do a very thorough inspection, but they also sat us down and talked through each detail afterward (AND gave us a book explaining everything in your home/how to care for it). They used language we understood and provided helpful solutions. Inspections feel very intimidating to us, but we felt very comfortable with Alex & Hunter and appreciated their vast knowledge about everything!

Alex was a pleasure to work with for our home inspection. All communication was prompt and he was on time.

The inspection was extremely thorough and he walked us through all the details in simple terms. You really can't beat having a structural engineer as a home inspector!

He also left us with some very helpful materials like a book with all kinds of information about maintaining various aspects of our home as well as a list of a couple dozen local contractors he recommends in the area which covers pretty much any kind of work we could need done.

Definitely recommend Alex if you are looking for a home inspector!

Kristen
Feb 12, 2024

Wow, Alex is fantastic! By far the best home inspection we've ever had, and it wasn't a simple situation with a property with several buildings in many different states. He's incredibly reliable, thorough, and personable. I especially appreciated how he interacted with both my husband and me, rather than only speaking with my husband and ignoring me as so many professionals still seem to do. Would hire him again in a minute and highly recommend him.

Becca Bunn

Did a great job. Very helpful. We were purchasing our home directly from the landlord and the inspector sat down to go over everything with us so we'd be prepared for negotiations on the price and everything.
Very friendly and prompt too

Very thorough. I was hesitant to have an inspection on a new build but ultimately very glad I did. Although the first time we met, he seemed extremely knowledgeable, honest and didn’t seem like he just wanted to do what he had to do, then leave. I appreciate his efforts and recommend his services.

We Answer Frequently Asked Questions
Pricing questions
1. What is the average roof replacement cost for a residential home?
+-

The average roof replacement cost for a residential home typically ranges from $7,000 to $15,000, depending on factors such as roof size, chosen materials, roof pitch, and labor rates in your area. Premium materials or complex designs may increase the price.

2. How much does it usually cost to replace the roof of a commercial building?
+-

The cost to replace the roof of a commercial building typically ranges from $5 to $12 per square foot, depending on several factors such as roof size, material, labor rates, building type, and local code requirements.

3. What factors affect the overall roof repair cost?
+-

Several factors influence roof repair cost, including the extent of the damage, roof accessibility, material type, labor costs, and whether it’s a general repair or an emergency fix. Minor repairs can start around $150–$400, while major repairs may exceed $1,500.

4. What is the typical roof leak repair cost, and how is it calculated?
+-

Roof leak repair cost generally ranges from $300 to $800, depending on the size and location of the leak, the materials required, and labor intensity. Complex leaks involving structural repairs or interior damage will cost more.

Service questions

It's not necessary to stay home during roof replacement. Roofing work is noisy and can cause vibrations inside the house, which might be uncomfortable. Most homeowners choose to leave during major parts of the project, but our team ensures safety and keeps you updated, whether you're home or not.

The timeline for a roof replacement typically ranges from one to three days, depending on the size and complexity of the roof, weather conditions, and material type. Larger or more intricate roofs may take a bit longer, but we always aim for efficient, timely completion.

3. How to hire a roofing contractor?
+-

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.
