Greg received his Bachelor of Science in Engineering from Florida Institute of Technology in 1993 and has spent more than 25 years in the field of civil engineering with an emphasis on structural inspections.

In addition, Greg has managed commercial and residential rental properties since 1997.
Greg, the structural engineer was very professional. He was on time for the appointment and inspected our bathroom site where we were doing expansion and remodeling. He quickly understood the structural issue and provided very valuable expert recommendations to take care of the problem. His recommendations were simple enough that my contractor could handle. We followed through his recommendations and Greg provided support through out the entire process and answered all my questions promptly and with patience. His charges were very reasonable and there is a partial refund if there is no need for a written report. Overall, Greg was excellent and I will be happy to use his services in future and recommend to friends and colleagues
Worth every cent. Gave us peace of mind and also saved us from spending a lot of money when we didn’t need to. I would recommend them to anyone who wants a professional and unbiased opinion. On a personal note, Greg is friendly and professional. 10/10
Greg came out on short notice to perform a structural inspection of our soon-to-be home, which has cracks visible in its brick exterior. After thoroughly examining the outside and inside of the house, he provided a detailed explanation of the likely cause of the cracks. He also offered additional observations about parts of the structure that could use repairs or reinforcement. He followed up on the same day with a detailed written report. Would recommend to anyone who needs a home inspection, especially if there are concerns about the foundation or other structural issues.
I called Kemp Home Inspection because I was looking for a structural engineering assessment of insect damage to the home I was buying. Communication was fast and clear. Appreciated being scheduled quickly and the timeliness or receiving the report. Inspector was thorough and answered all of my questions. I will undoubtedly return for any future needs and absolutely recommend using Kemp Home Inspections!
We hired Greg Kemp before purchasing an older (part is 1850-ish) farm house on land in Frederick County, MD. He agreed to come on short notice on a holiday weekend because time limits were tight. We received cost estimates in advance, signed a thorough contract, and were very happy that the inspection would be finished timely. Our agreement was for an inspection report, a termite inspection, a more thorough roof inspection, and a structural/engineering report. He was one of very few people who had the engineering qualifications we were looking for, since there was an old stone foundation we particularly wanted examined. Mr. Kemp arrived a bit early and spent more than four hours, even including a barn in the process. Due to Covid procedures, we were not allowed to accompany him inside the house or basement, but he did call us in individually to point out some important issues. He communicated with us briefly during the inspections, but spent more time at the end telling us some of his findings. We received all reports via email by the end of the following day, including recommendations based on Condition of many separate parts of the house interior and exterior, with pictures, well organized and very useful for first making our decision to purchase and then prioritizing future maintenance and repairs needed. I highly recommend Kemp Home Inspections, LLC, and would happily contract with them again, since they provide additional services which we may need in the future. And, if you enjoy a very understated subtle sense of humor, this is definitely your person.
The owner Greg Kemp contacted me regarding the issue. He thoroughly explained why he declined my inquiry. Now it makes sense as the scope of the work is not align with what they do primarily. I appreciated him reaching out and taking time to resolve my review. Unfortunately the owner intentionally picks and chooses only easy/ manageable projects. Though, it is understandable, this company is not running a professionally ethical practice. If you are in a dispute or in trouble, look else where. The owner, Greg Kemp, isn’t the one that’s going to help you out. But nonetheless it’s his company, he can do whatever he pleases!
