All-Spect Inspection Services — serving Norfolk’s historic neighborhoods, military communities, and waterfront properties since 2015
Norfolk is one of Hampton Roads’ most vibrant and diverse real estate markets, with a housing stock that spans centuries — from the elegant early 20th century homes of Ghent and Larchmont to post-war construction in Wards Corner and newer development along the Lafayette River waterfront. As home to the world’s largest naval base, Norfolk also has one of the region’s most active military buyer and seller markets.
Clay Hough has inspected hundreds of Norfolk homes across every era of the city’s construction history. He understands the specific challenges of Norfolk’s older housing stock — including aging electrical systems, cast iron drain lines, and the moisture concerns that come with Norfolk’s tidal flooding history in neighborhoods like Ocean View and Willowwood.
Whether you’re a first-time buyer purchasing a craftsman bungalow in Park Place, a military family relocating to Norfolk and buying near the base, or an investor evaluating a multi-family property in Young’s Park, All-Spect delivers the thorough, same-day inspection results that keep your transaction moving forward.
From historic Ghent bungalows to new waterfront condos, All-Spect covers every inspection need in Norfolk.
Real feedback from clients across Norfolk and Hampton Roads.
“Clay inspected our Ghent home before we purchased it and his knowledge of older construction was exceptional. He identified an aging electrical panel and original cast iron drain lines that gave us leverage to negotiate repair credits. Professional, thorough, and his report was delivered same day.”
“We were PCSing to Norfolk and needed an inspector we could trust from out of state. Clay was professional, communicative, and his detailed report with photos gave us complete confidence in the home we were buying. Could not have asked for better service.”
“As an investor buying a duplex near ODU, I needed an inspector with multi-family experience. Clay evaluated both units thoroughly and his knowledge of what to look for in investment properties saved me from a purchase I would have regretted. Highly recommend.”
Based in neighboring Portsmouth, Clay covers every neighborhood in Norfolk and the entire Hampton Roads region.
