All-Spect Inspection Services is headquartered right here in Portsmouth — making Clay Hough not just the most qualified inspector serving this city, but the most local one. Clay knows Portsmouth’s neighborhoods, housing stock, construction eras, and the specific issues that affect homes in each part of the city.
Portsmouth is one of Hampton Roads’ most diverse real estate markets, with housing that ranges from the landmark 18th and 19th century homes of Olde Towne to mid-century ranches in Cradock and Churchland, newer construction in developing areas, and waterfront properties along the Elizabeth River and Churchland waterway. Each era and each neighborhood comes with its own inspection priorities — and Clay has inspected them all.
Whether you’re buying a historic home near the Portsmouth Naval Medical Center, a craftsman in Port Norfolk, a ranch in Bon Air, or a new construction in the Western Branch corridor, All-Spect delivers the thorough, honest inspection you need to move forward with confidence.
Portsmouth is home to a strong military and government workforce, active real estate investors, and a growing base of first-time buyers attracted by competitive pricing relative to neighboring Virginia Beach and Norfolk. Clay serves all of them — buyers, sellers, investors, and homeowners — with the same commitment to professional, same-day results.
From Olde Towne historic homes to new construction developments, All-Spect provides every inspection service Portsmouth residents need — all performed personally by Clay Hough.
Real feedback from real clients right here in Portsmouth and across Hampton Roads.
“Clay inspected our Olde Towne home before we purchased it and found several issues specific to the age of the property — things another inspector might have missed. His knowledge of historic construction was impressive. Couldn’t be happier with the service.”
“We were selling our Churchland home and wanted to know what buyers would find before listing. Clay’s pre-list inspection was thorough, professional, and the report was easy to follow. We fixed three items and the buyer’s inspection went smoothly. Highly recommend.”
“As a first-time buyer in Portsmouth I was nervous about the whole process. Clay took the time to walk me through every finding and explain what was serious versus what was just routine maintenance. I felt completely informed and confident going into closing.”
