What you receive

A written report with every finding photographed and located, so you know exactly where to look.

Each finding rated, so you can tell routine maintenance from real problems at a glance.

What each finding means, what it is likely to take to address it, and which trade to call.

Time with me afterward to go through the report and answer your questions.

A report you can share with your agent, your insurer, and the contractors you get quotes from.

How the plain-language reports work

I write reports the way I would want one written for my own family. No jargon without an explanation, no stack of pages designed to look thorough. Every finding gets one of four ratings.

SoundWhat’s fine. No action needed.
MonitorKeep an eye on it. Plan for it.
RepairNeeds work. Get a quote.
InfoWorth knowing, such as an unpermitted addition.

InterNACHI certification and 34+ years in construction

I started on roofs at 18 and spent more than 34 years building, remodeling, and repairing homes. Most of that work was not new construction. It was somebody’s home, and I was there because something had gone wrong. Almost every time, the problem was visible before they bought the house. Somebody just had to know where to look.

Today I inspect as an InterNACHI® Certified Professional Inspector, licensed by the State of Florida, and bound by the InterNACHI Code of Ethics.
