ABOUT US
We Include You in the Inspection Process
When you are investing in property, nothing is more important than the home inspection. Highland Home Inspections lives by its motto — careful, thorough, and complete — and has completed more than 30,000 home inspections in Maryland. Our inspections include not only a well-organized and detailed report within 24 hours, but a verbal explanation of observations and recommendations on the maintenance of your home’s systems while the inspection is taking place. Our experienced inspectors have excellent communication skills and are committed to taking the time necessary to explain issues to you as the inspection proceeds. There is no need for you to take notes; everything our inspectors explain will be included in the report. Meet the team and see a sample report.

Highland Home Inspections has been in business since 1989.
Born out of a love relationship with the 100-year-old farmhouse Rick Belliveau bought after moving to Maryland, Rick combined his electrical engineering knowledge, US Navy submarine experience, and natural teaching ability to conduct pre-purchase home inspections for friends and relatives. He attended the Property Inspectors Training Institute course and quickly pursued the American Society of Home Inspectors (ASHI) membership and certification while doing many more inspections on a part-time basis. The growing demand for his inspections resulted in a career move from Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory to a full-time inspections service.
HHI now averages more than 2,000 inspections a year. Over the years, Rick has grown the company to include 10 certified and licensed home inspectors, as well as 2 full-time office managers to quickly meet caller’s needs. The offices are located in Highland, Maryland in Howard County and Prince Frederick, Maryland in Calvert County.
The Highland Home Inspection team is second to none.
