Where we inspect in Baltimore County
Baltimore County wraps around Baltimore City on three sides, from streetcar suburbs built before most households owned a car to postwar rowhouse and rancher neighborhoods near the water. Here is every community we serve.
West County
- Catonsville
Bungalow and cottage streets from the old turnpike era sit blocks from newer subdivisions built well into the twentieth century.
- Randallstown
Older crossroads dwellings share a corridor with ranch and split-level houses raised during the postwar building years.
- Owings Mills
Townhouses inside planned communities share walls with newer construction rising along the commercial corridor near the highway.
- Pikesville
Curving streets platted for a nineteenth century summer resort now carry additions, sunrooms and garages built decades later.
- Reisterstown
A Main Street of older houses gives way to a resort-era village and newer subdivisions further from downtown.
- Woodlawn
Streetcar-era cottages and garden apartments sit alongside later subdivisions built out toward the county's western edge.
East County toward the water
- Dundalk
Company-built duplexes from a single wartime push stand along curved streets close to newer infill near the water.
- Essex
Small wartime cottages and postwar additions sit along tidal creeks where crawlspaces and bulkheads take the brunt of high water.
- Parkville
Older bungalows near the reservoir valley give way to newer streets built closer to the city line.
- Perry Hall
Homes backing wooded parkland sit alongside newer mixed-use construction and active community associations further from the tree line.
- Towson
Detached houses, brick rowhomes and managed condominium buildings sit within a few miles of each other near the county seat.
Baltimore City
- Baltimore
Formstone rowhouses, older houses split into apartments, and harbor condominium towers each carry water through the building differently.
Baltimore City is an independent city the county borders rather than contains, and it is listed here because that is the address most homeowners search.
Add a package to the inspection
Three packages built around the home inspection. Package prices are for the add-on services only and are added to the inspection price. The savings are against booking the same services one by one.
Home Essentials

Home Advantage

Home Enhanced
The ultimate peace of mind
Warranties must be requested when you book, not after the inspection. Radon and thermal imaging can also be added on their own. Read more about each package.
What a home inspection actually involves
No jargon, no surprises. Here is the whole visit, start to finish, so you know what you are booking before you book it.

01
You book, we confirm
Online or by phone, in a few minutes. Your agent can book for you. Add radon, termite or a package at the same time, and we confirm the appointment with you before the visit.

02
The walk-around
Roof, siding, grading, decks, the garage and the grounds first. The inspector photographs what they find as they go, so the report shows you exactly where each item is.

03
Systems and accessible spaces
The inspector checks accessible electrical, plumbing, heating and cooling components and operates equipment with normal controls when conditions allow. The report identifies areas that could not be inspected and any recommended follow-up.

04
The walkthrough and the report
You see the main findings in the house itself. The written report follows online with photos, priorities and what to do about each item.
Baltimore County home inspections: planning the visit
The inspection of a Baltimore County property follows its accessible systems and visible condition. Describe the home's layout, known changes, and your concerns when booking. The local examples below explain what information helps the inspector and where additional access or a separate scope may be needed.
Established houses and phased updates
If a house has been updated in stages, share the approximate dates for roof, electrical, plumbing, and addition work. The inspector reviews accessible systems and visible connections. Tight side yards, finished basements, or enclosed porches may affect access and should be described before the visit.
Locate attic and basement entrances and provide any available repair records.
Attached homes and converted spaces
For a rowhouse, cottage, or property with an enclosed porch, clarify included rooms and exterior responsibilities. The inspection follows visible accessible structure and systems serving the booked property. A neighboring unit or separate building needs its own agreed scope and entry arrangements.
Share unit boundaries, lower-space access, and known water-entry repairs.

Home inspection questions in Baltimore County
Answers to practical questions before your Baltimore County home inspection.
What does a home inspection in Baltimore County cover?
The agreed visual scope covers safely accessible structure, roof, exterior, electrical, plumbing, heating and cooling, interior, attic, and site drainage. The report describes observed conditions and areas that could not be inspected. Confirm the scope for a condominium, multiple units, or detached structures when booking.
What should I share about additions or earlier repairs?
Give the approximate dates, affected rooms, and any recurring symptoms. Available invoices or construction photos can help explain visible findings. Finished walls and ceilings conceal parts of the building, so the inspection cannot certify hidden workmanship.
How are shared or inaccessible components handled?
Confirm property boundaries and maintenance responsibilities before booking. The inspector reports on the agreed accessible components and records limitations. Another unit, common building equipment, or a detached structure needs specific scope and access arrangements.
Can I join the walkthrough and ask about the findings?
Yes. You can attend the visit or join the final walkthrough. Coordinate the timing and any building-entry requirements with the office. The written photo report documents findings and recommended next steps for you to review afterward.
How should I prepare for a Baltimore County home inspection?
Identify attic, crawlspace or basement entrances, electrical panels, and mechanical equipment. Share known repairs and arrange keys or management access for all included spaces. Tell the office about additional units or detached structures before the visit.
