Her Story
ACCM Residential Services was created as the residential services division of Alpha Colores LLC, a company established in 2016 around consulting, communication, marketing, and practical support for the built environment.
​
The idea for ACCM Residential Services grew from Alison L. Mullins’ personal experiences in real estate transactions, and most of all her development of a trained eye after 15 years of working with decorative and structural building materials for architecture, design, interiors, exteriors, and construction projects.
​
After years of working with architects, designers, contractors, builders, construction trades, manufacturers, and homeowners, Alison saw a consistent need: people do not just need information about a property, they need that information explained clearly and from someone built for client communication.
​
Get the experience of working with someone who works for her clients. We want to help buyers, sellers, homeowners, contractors, and property professionals better understand the homes they are buying, selling, maintaining, improving, or preparing for the next chapter.
​
At its core, ACCM Residential Services was created around clarity, communication, documentation, and confidence.
Her Values
Integrity
We approach every service with honesty, professionalism, and impartiality. Our goal is to provide clients with clear, unbiased observations and practical information about the visible condition of the property.
​
Precision
We believe details matter. Our work is guided by careful observation, applicable standards of practice, and a commitment to documenting visible concerns, safety notes, maintenance needs, and items that may benefit from further evaluation by a qualified professional.
​
Client-Centered Service
Your confidence matters. We aim to deliver a responsive, approachable, and easy-to-understand experience from first contact through final report. Whether you are buying, selling, maintaining, or improving a home, our goal is to help you understand the information in front of you and move forward with greater clarity.
Her Training
Alison Mullins is a licensed Virginia Home Inspector who brings an unusual depth of material knowledge to every inspection. For more than 15 years she worked in the natural stone and construction-materials industry, providing specification consultation on large-scale hospitality projects and luxury residences. She worked alongside some of the best architects and interior designers in the world, and that work trained her eye for how materials are selected, installed, and how they perform over time.
​
She trained and achieved certifications from both American Home Inspector Training (AHIT) and became a CPI through InterNACHI. Alison also learned in the field, shadowing and apprenticing with experienced professionals. She is especially grateful to Curt Lind of Lind’s Property Inspections - Virginia Beach and to Joe Black, Dwight Chew and Juan Jimenez from Richmond's A House on a Rock for opening their inspections to her.
​
She holds Virginia’s New Residential Structures (NRS) specialty for new-construction inspections and she is a certified Radon Measurement Professional (RMP) with the National Radon Proficiency Program (NRPP) , and her ongoing education includes flooring inspection certification amongst other specialties based upon her years in the stone industry.
Alison is a member of Virginia Association of Real Estate Inspectors (VAREI), National Association of Women in Construction (NAWIC) Richmond Chapter 141, the Indoor Environments Association (AARST), and PRO Central Virginia - a preferred remodelers and construction association.
Alison believes the best inspection is one that leaves every client understanding the property a little better than before.
Why ACCM?
A home can feel overwhelming. Buyers are making major decisions.
Sellers are preparing for the next step.
Homeowners may know something needs attention but may not know where to start.
Contractors and property professionals often need clearer documentation and better communication around visible property conditions.
​
Alison built ACCM Residential to help close that gap.
Our work is built around careful observation, practical documentation, homeowner education, and plain-language communication. The goal is not to create fear. The goal is to help clients understand visible concerns, maintenance priorities, safety notes, and when further evaluation by a qualified professional may be needed.
​
We help people see the home more clearly so they can move forward with greater confidence.
