Why Home Inspection?
My extensive background in various and wide ranging repair work has taught me a methodical approach to problem solving. I have found this to serve me well in the inspection field, because, while not composed of moving parts, a home is composed of parts that were designed to work together. I enjoy utilizing my mechanical knowledge and education in the building sciences to help my clients be completely informed about the condition of their dream home.
