Experience You Can Trust

 Choosing a home inspector is an important decision. As a Certified Master Inspector, I combine professional home-inspection training with decades of hands-on experience in building maintenance, mechanical systems, and the trades. My goal is not simply to identify defects, but to help you understand the home you're buying.  

 Before becoming a home inspector, I trained and worked extensively with building and mechanical systems. I achieved the level of 3rd Class Power Engineer, which included technical schooling and hands-on experience with heating, plumbing, electrical, and large commercial power systems. That background gives me a practical understanding of how the systems in a home work together. 

 Over the years, I've also worked hands-on in roofing, drywall, pipefitting, HVAC, and home renovation. I renovated several homes for resale and spent five years restoring and upgrading a historic inn in Ocala. That experience taught me to recognize problems not just as an inspector, but as someone who has repaired many of them firsthand. 

  What all this means is that when I find a problem, I'll explain it clearly and put it into perspective. I've seen many of these issues before, and I'll help you understand what the defect is, how serious it may be, and what your options are for addressing it. 

 There are many qualified home inspectors, and I appreciate the trust my clients place in me. I approach every inspection as if I were inspecting the home for my own family—carefully, thoroughly, and with the goal of helping you make an informed decision about your new home.
