Home Inspector in Fauquier County VA

Fauquier is home – I live in Warrenton, I work out of Warrenton, and most of my week is spent between Main Street and the back roads of Marshall, The Plains, Upperville, Bealton, Remington, and Midland. When you book a Fauquier county inspection with Dogwood, you get a 20 year tradesman who knows the housing stock of this county, not a generic Northern Virginia inspector who treats everything from Warrenton to Winchester the same way.

The Housing Stock I Know In Fauquier

• Old Town Warrenton Victorians, Foursquares, and Cape Cods — most pre-1930, balloon-framed, with their original (often updated) knob-and-tube, original stone or rubble foundations, and slate or asphalt roofs
• Horse country estates around Upperville, Middleburg line, and Rectortown — stone and stucco construction, outbuildings, wells, septic, specialized electrical for barns
• Bealeton and Remington 1980s–2000s subdivisions — aging roofs, original HVAC systems now at end-of-life, finished basements with moisture histories
• New construction in Warrenton South, Warrenton Lakes, and in-fill development around Marshall

Issues I See Most In Fauquier Homes

• Historic foundation settling: The stone and rubble foundations of pre-1900 Warrenton homes have been moving for 150 years. I separate “has been stable for 80 years” from “active settlement concern.”
• Roof end-of-life: Many Fauquier roofs put on in the late 1990s and early 2000s are now 20+ years old. This is the #1 negotiable item I flag in the county.
• Outbuildings on estates: Barns, run-in sheds, equipment buildings — I inspect them as part of every estate property, and the findings on outbuildings often matter more than the main house.
