LaunchPad Home Group Acquires Top to Bottom Services, Expands Across Washington, D.C. Metropolitan Area

• Two decades of reputation and trust: Top to Bottom Services brings more than 20 years of service to the greater D.C. region as it joins LaunchPad's growing mid-Atlantic platform.
• National footprint continues to scale, with LaunchPad's network of market-leading brands now spanning the East Coast, Southeast, Southwest and Pacific Northwest.
• Strategic expansion means agents and their clients get an even more responsive, reliable experience — backed by investment in technology, faster scheduling and expanded inspection services across the competitive D.C., Maryland and Virginia (DMV) housing markets.

AUSTIN, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--LaunchPad Home Group ("LaunchPad"), a leading platform of residential inspection and homeowner services companies, today announced the acquisition of Top to Bottom Services, a premier Maryland-based home inspection company serving the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area. With more than two decades of trust built across Montgomery County and the greater D.C. region, Top to Bottom expands LaunchPad's footprint into Maryland and adds meaningful geographic density to its growing mid-Atlantic platform — depth that translates into broader coverage and more open availability for local agents and homebuyers.

Founded in 2004, Top to Bottom Services has built an enduring market reputation for delivering comprehensive residential home inspections, radon testing and environmental testing services throughout Maryland, Virginia and Washington, D.C.

Top to Bottom joins a growing portfolio that now includes more than 20 regional brands. The transaction aligns with LaunchPad's disciplined national expansion strategy: partnering with market-leading home inspection companies while preserving the branding, trusted teams and deep relationships that drove their success.

The acquisition is strategic for LaunchPad's mid-Atlantic growth. Headquartered in Montgomery County, Maryland, Top to Bottom anchors one of the nation's largest and most competitive residential real estate corridors. This footprint connects LaunchPad's existing operations across Delaware, Maryland and Pennsylvania into a single, well-resourced network. Additionally, the partnership opens immediate avenues to scale proprietary technology and expand ancillary inspection services — improving the day-to-day experience for the agents and clients who rely on the company across the region.

“We never set out to be the biggest inspection company. Our goal has always been to earn trust, one inspection at a time," said Dan Deist, founder of Top to Bottom Services. "Around here, relationships and reputation matter more than marketing. We always believed in hiring the person and training for the skill, because great people take great care of clients. Homebuyers and real estate professionals want honest answers, quality inspections, and people who stand behind their work. That's the culture our team built over the past two decades, and it's why I knew LaunchPad was the right steward for the next chapter.”

"Top to Bottom sits at the center of our mid-Atlantic strategy, connecting our existing Delaware and Pennsylvania operations into the D.C. metro market," said Scott Swayze, chief executive officer of LaunchPad Home Group. "That kind of density is what makes this partnership so compelling. We're excited to bring Top to Bottom Services into that network."

Top to Bottom will continue operating under its established local brand name. Homebuyers and real estate partners will continue working directly with the same trusted inspectors and client care teams. Through the platform partnership, the business will gain immediate access to LaunchPad's advanced technology infrastructure, digital marketing capabilities, centralized recruiting resources and shared operational best practices.

The transaction underscores LaunchPad's ongoing strategy of scaling through partnerships with exceptional local operators. By pairing boots-on-the-ground expertise with centralized technology, back-office support and recruiting resources, LaunchPad helps established home inspection businesses grow efficiently while protecting the identity and relationships that make them unique.
