Calendar Rusty Layton's Bio
Rusty Layton is a native of the Washington
Resource DC area. He grew up in the Maryland
Page suburbs, graduated from the University of
Maryland in 1977, and has resided in
Contact Northern Virginia since 1980. He worked with
and his father through high school and college for
Scheduling General Heating installing HVAC systems and
boilers. After college, Mr. Layton worked for
Majestic Builders at the Parkfairfax Condo
Rusty Layton renovation project in Alexandria, VA,
ASHI Certified Home scheduling and supervising the renovation of
Inspector apartments to condos. He also supervised
(Assateague Island the construction of single family homes with
2005) Washington Homes and Globe Construction in
Alexandria and Burke Centre, Virginia. He
was then employed by Real Estate Appraisal
Services, as Vice President of the Inspection
Department. Mr. Layton then worked for
Homechek Inspection Services, of Falls
Church, Virginia for fifteen years and in
1996, opened his own inspection business,
Russell Layton Associates, Incorporated. He
is a certified member of the American
Society of Home Inspectors (ASHI) .
Home Inspection Scheduling
We have three inspection time slots to
choose from each weekday and Saturday
(morning, mid-day and afternoon) at 9 AM
to 9:15 AM, Noon to12:30 PM and 3:30 to
4 PM. I can work with you on preferred or
needed times. You or your agent can call to
schedule the inspection and to get your price
quote. If you want to, you can check my
Calendar online and decide what works best
for you before you call. You'll need to make
sure that we have access to the property and
always check to make sure the utilities are
on. Please don't expect me to turn on water
or gas or electricity - there is too much
liability involved for me to do these things! It
is encouraged that the owner of the house to

3. be inspected is not present during the home
inspection. You should attend the home
inspection so you can learn all sorts of good
(and not-so-good) things about house. Even
though there are good and bad things with all
houses, you will appreciate learning about all
of them! We offer Radon testing in addition to
the Home Inspection which is a separate fee
and report which normally takes 2-3 days to
complete after deployment.
Home Inspection Report
Rusty Layton will inspect the property and
follow the Standards of Practice and Code of
Ethics described by the American Society of
Home Inspectors (ASHI). You will be issued a
report at the end of the inspection. The
report will follow the requirements of ASHI.
The report will include a list of working order
defects, major defects, maintenance needs,
repair needs and suggested improvements
that we find during the inspection. It is not a
computerized reporting system, which I
believe has too many extraneous and
unrelated items, not to mention taking time
away from the purpose of inspecting,
learning and reporting the salient points. I
designed the report myself; it is unique and
quite understandable. My clients are satisfied
with it and I'll have two copies to give you.
The report will be placed in a three ring
binder along with additional information, a
walk-through checklist and a how-to book of
home repair and maintenance. Ballpark cost
estimates and pictures can be included
easily.
Inspection Wrap-up
Upon completion of the inspection, we will
review the results. Usually, you will be
formulating your response to the seller with
your agent at that time. Generally, you will
give a copy of your report to your agent who
in turn will take it to their office and fax it,
along with your addendum, to the listing
agent. These guidelines, however, will vary.
Payment is due at the inspection by check or
credit card (Visa, MC, AMEX and Discover).

Follow-up Inspections
After you have done your initial home inspection
with us, schedule a follow-up inspection.
Answers questions you may have after you
have lived in the house for a while.
Check-up Inspections
Similar to Follow-up but focuses on the major
components and systems of the house such as
roof, heating, AC, foundation and their
performance. Those that did not use us initially
can have me inspect their homes for a status
report. Use this service to determine if
replacements are needed.
Partial Inspections
Use this service for one or more specific needs
or questions you may have, if a contractor did
work at your house and you want confirmation
that the job was done properly or if a contractor

9. suggested an improvement or other course of
action that you are not sure about.
Seller Inspections
Putting your house on the market? Have me
inspect the property for a quot;heads-upquot; on what
you should fix, or not. Helps with what may
show up on a Home Inspection Report or Real
Estate Sales Contract Addendum following a
Home Inspection.
Listing Inspections
Get listing data correct, such as age of items,
type of systems in the house, check for obvious
( or not so obvious) problems that may show up
on a Home Inspection report.
Radon Tests
Radon Tests available upon request.
Mold Tests
