We used Dave for both our pre-drywall inspection and final walkthrough inspection. When the builder received the pre-drywall report before that walkthrough, he had all the items fixed for our appointment. He said Dave made his job easy!

The final inspection took about 2 1/2 hours and Dave was very thorough--showing us how to look at the wall with a flashlight to see imperfections. He inspected every door, appliance, attic, basement, HVAC, as well as the exterior. We were extremely pleased with his work.S!

Dave has assisted me on several home purchase transactions, and I couldn't be more pleased with his service. Dave always finds things that weren't on my radar that I would have easily missed. He is very thorough and explains the issues with a house very clearly, so I fully understand how severe the issues are and how much they would cost to fix.

I was enamored with views and cosmetics of the house. Totally missed some major issues that Dave expertly and professionally reported. Small inspection fee saved me tens of thousands and lots of headaches. I’m so glad RHS helped me dodge that bullet..

Dave was fantastic and thorough with our home inspection. It’s our first time buying a house, and he talked us through every detail with care. We felt very confident purchasing a 108 year old house as-is after receiving Dave’s guidance!

David Goldberg inspected our new home in Chevy Chase. He was very thorough and professional. His pricing was very reasonable too. I appreciate his help.

RHS is an excellent resource. We've used them twice to learn more about our aging home as well as a family member's home. The information was invaluable. David is very knowledgeable and more than happy to share his experiences and recommendations. He's also willing to answer additional questions for as long as we're in the house. The money we spent on the two inspections was a very good investment.

This is my second time using RHS. My experience couldn’t have been any better both times. RHS is extremely responsive, friendly and professional.


David is incredibly experienced and knowledgeable. But most importantly, he is detailed, patient and thoroughly explains each and every issues and/or potential concerns. His Home Inspection report is very detailed, comprehensive and very easy to read/understand. It also highlights every concerns and issues so home buyers can make an intelligent decision when buying a house. Thank you David and RHS!

My family is moving from out of state and we had the pleasure of working with Dave at our new property. Dave provides thorough explanations on how to maintain your home, highlights of key systems, addresses all major area of concern, and even the minor things I wouldn’t have even noticed. We worked with Dave for a previous property and didn’t proceed with the home and this house we actually purchased was sadly with a waived inspection. Even though we waived it, we still got Dave to inspect it for our own knowledge and to point out any areas of concern, so we could address them prophylactically. Very satisfied with the services provided and would recommend to anyone in the area.

We worked with Dave at RHS to inspect three homes (one full inspection and two pre-inspections/walk and talks) before finally closing on our first home. Dave was fantastic to work with, his inspections were extremely thorough and provided a lot of useful information while also being approachable and very easy to follow. We felt extremely confident in our decisions after all three of our inspections with RHS, and appreciated the warmth and good humor Dave brought to the inspection process. We would recommend him without reservations!

Look no further!!! David Goldberg is exceptional. He is reliable, very knowledgeable, and will not miss a single corner. He will discover anything that needs attention. We are so happy with his inspection services. We really appreciated him walking us through every single step and teaching us so much about the house we had inspected. He is passionate and it truly shows in his work. He is worth every single dollar and will help you make the right decision about your next property. We couldn't recommend him more!

As a Realtor, risk mitigation is so important for my clients, and David always delivers. Over the last several years, he has helped my clients navigate challenging situations regarding their properties, including mold, water, and rodent infestation remediation. His knowledge base is incredible. From agricultural buildings, to million dollar single family homes, I’ve benefited from Dave’s decades of experience. Purchasing a home is always stressful for buyers, but with Dave hired on a a consultant, my clients can rest assured that they’re mitigating their risk to the highest degree possible.

David Goldberg was friendly, thorough and honest. He had all of the best qualities I expect from a home inspector. He took time to answer any questions I had along the way. Prior to leaving, David advised I could contact him in the future if I had any questions or concerns which I took him up on the very next day.

Great experience with Dave from RHS. He was very friendly and thorough during our home inspection. He took care to explain the issues to us and help us prioritize what we would want to fix ASAP, what we'd want to budget for in the near term, and what we might want to fix in the future. He had a lot of knowledge about Maryland code.

I worked in various construction fields for 42 years. In that time I encountered many, many inspectors for various trades. So, of course, I made my own assessment of the issues in our house before asking RHS to inspect it. Mr. David Goldberg not only found those items; he found several I had missed. His distinct expertise and experience were evident throughout the inspection. He is easy to work with, communicates everything clearly, and, best of all, remains objective about the findings. His report was detailed, well written, and easy to understand. This was easily the best experience I've ever had with an inspector. I highly recommend RHS and Mr. Goldberg.

David at RHS was a pleasure to work with. He took the time to explain all aspects of the inspection of the condo. He was professional in his knowledge of the industry requirements and codes. The price was reasonable and well worth the satisfaction of having a clear understanding of the properties condition.

My husband and I are first-time homebuyers who did 4 pre-inspection “walk & talks” with David (including on the home we ended up winning the bid for!), and they were worth every dollar. David is incredibly knowledgeable, experienced, and patient. It felt like he was really invested in us as homeowners and cared about teaching us about the homes we were looking at as opposed to just going through a checklist.

My wife and I were so pleased with the service Dave provided. Dave was punctual, professional, thorough and just all around great at what he does. We most appreciate his willingness to educate us on context and level of alarm on each concern that was addressed

David and team are consummate professionals and do fantastic work. You'll know the house inside and out once you're done with David's inspection. If you really want to know, RHS is the way to go.

David introduced himself to us and told us what he would do during the Home Inspection. He was professional and friendly and extremely knowledgeable about new home construction. He also provided easy to understand explanations about his observations and details about construction techniques. I recommend his services for new home construction inspections.

The home inspector David Goldberg was professional in that he explained exactly what he would do for the inspection and he communicated extremely well everything that he saw and explained additional items that he observed.

This is one of the best inspectors you could get for home hands down. He can look at one area of the home and tell you five valueable things about it. If you get the chance to use this company i guarantee you won't regret it.

David was extremely thorough with his inspection. He was able to work with us on less than a day's notice. He took the time to explain the ramifications of each issue and answered all of my questions to satisfaction.

I was purchasing a foreclosed home. RHS did the home inspection. David was very helpful and experienced. He let me know everything he was looking at and why. A informative home inspection report, that I use with the contractors to have things corrected

RHS Inc., leads by example on what an inspection company should be. Dave, was very thorough and explained everything in detail about the house. He was very patient, oozed customer service, and was very professional each step of the way. I would definitely use Reliable Home Services Inc. again. Their cost is on the higher end but with the quality inspection you get, it is worth every penny! I feel that I am going into buying my home with open eyes with knowledge of every nook and crevice of this home and the thorough report given, I know I will be able to use it to reference back to, when needed, on future care needed for the home. Thank you so much for your five star service!!!

★ ★ ★ ★ ★

David took us through every room, explaining every area in need of repair. You get what you pay for. We paid for a top notch inspector and he was better than expected. I am a former plumbing inspector and I was so impressed with his knowledge and ability to explain details. The inspection lasted over two hours and I enjoyed every moment. Well worth the money!

★ ★ ★ ★ ★

I had a home inspected by David, and he did a fantastic job. I've worked with other home inspectors who move quickly (60-90 minutes), but David took his time (approx. 3 hours for 3,100 sq.ft., 3 floors) and helped us catch some very important defects that were in places difficult to see if moving too fast. He also helped put renovations in context--what seemed normal maintenance versus poor workmanship by a previous contractor. He also has a good sense of humor, and doesn't mind explaining things to people like me who ask lots of questions. I highly recommend him.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★

Dave was EXTREMELY thorough. He's a buyer's dream, not only extremely knowledgable, but truly a straight shooter--no BS and no salesmanship, which I truly appreciate. He will walk through each and every concern and explain potential fixes, let you know whether it's urgent or not, and document everything fully so you really know what you are getting into. I am certain he has saved us tens of thousands of dollars just based on the level of detail he provided to us. He truly takes his time to make sure the job is done properly. I've bought a home before, and I have to say that he was a MAJOR improvement over my first inspector (and I shopped around).

David Goldberg was personable, knowledgable, and detailed in his analysis of the house we were considering purchasing. He also explained things in terms that were easy to grasp-especially important given that we are first-time homebuyers. And he responded quickly and thoroughly when I had follow up questions pertaining to his inspection report.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★

I highly recommend RHS for your home inspection. David arrived early, and led an extended 3.5 hour inspection, covering every corner of every floor of the house. He is very candid in his assessments, and took the time to offer insight and considerations that are not required during the inspection. If/when we need a future inspection in the area, I will definitely use RHS.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★

We just had our home inspection done with David. He was there ahead of time and performed an excellent 3 hour inspection. He is very knowledgeable and takes the time to explain all details. We can highly recommend him.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★

We used David Goldberg from Reliable Home Services for our home inspection, and the whole experience was wonderful. He was highly recommended by our realtor who has worked with him several times before, and I couldn't be happier. The two of them together make a great team, and I'm so glad I was able to experience how things SHOULD work on my first go-around as a home-buyer.<br><br>David was hugely helpful and knowledgeable about everything in the house. He was thorough and methodical, which I appreciated, and after each room, he asked if we had any questions. He made the whole process educational, and I feel like a more responsible homeowner because of it. He even offered to answer questions after our inspection.


I would recommend RHS, specifically David Goldberg, to any realtor or homeowner.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★

Excellent inspection from David. He walked through the process in detailed manner and was responsive to questions we had as a first time homebuyer. He provided a very detailed report. We recommend him for home inspections.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★

We needed a quick second inspection, because we did not feel comfortable with the original inspection we were given. Thankfully Dave was able to fit us in his schedule.  He found many things the other inspector did not find, which ended up saving us a lotof out of pocket $

★ ★ ★ ★ ★

This is our second time hiring a home inspector for a single family house purchase, so we already have some idea of what to expect and what to look for. Amazingly, David still impressed us with his thoroughness and professionalism, and we learned a lot from him. He is very observing, knowledgeable, well organized and patient with our questions.


He checked safety related issues very carefully, such as outlet grounding and garage door safety protections. When testing kitchen appliances, -- which took a while to check whether everything functioned properly, -- he also spend time explaining some fancy features that we are not familiar with. He is so knowledgeable of electricity and plumbing work that he was able to point out that certain electricity job was done recently and that the house was re-plumbed in the past. While discussing with us what he found, he was very explicit about how serious the issues were, e.g., immediate attention, or that can wait and be grouped together with other minor repairs.


We definitely recommend his service, although the service charge is above the average. The service quality is surely above the average, too. Thus for us the money is well worth it, especially considering how big a purchase we are making.

Dave is very experienced and knowledgeable. This is the second time I've called Dave for help.

The first time, I got water in my basement during the early pandemic and I needed help to find

out why and what to do about it. Dave identified the problem, told me what to do to prevent

this. Recently, I was trying to get my old wooden floors fixed so they would stop squeaking. He

told me what caused the problem and what to do about it. He's thorough and very helpful. I am

grateful for his assistance and won't hesitate to call him again.

was my own personal learning experience. Dave is an excellent communicator and takes the

time to explain things carefully and clearly to the homeowner.
