My Commitment to You
I have over 20 years of experience in the residential building industry, most recently as a project manager for new construction. I understand how homes are built, what systems and components should look like, and where shortcuts tend to happen. I’ve been directly involved in the closing process of over 100 homes, working with buyers, sellers and agents on blue tape and RE-10 punch lists. I’ve seen deals fall apart due to alarm-raising or poorly-communicated inspection findings.
My approach emphasizes level-headed communication and realistic, actionable solutions.

Frequently Asked Questions
A thorough home inspection should provide a comprehensive evaluation of a property’s safety and structural integrity. Core components of a good home inspection include: foundation, framing, roofing system, exterior features, interior rooms, plumbing system, electrical system, HVAC system, attic & insulation, and the basement/crawlspace. A typical home inspection takes 3-4 hours to complete.
Ensure all inspection points are free from clutter, including closets that provide access to a crawlspace or attic, and clear space around your home’s perimeter. It’s also important to make sure all built-in appliances, electrical systems, and gas utilities are functional. If you don’t plan to attend the inspection, ensure your inspector has access to the home and that all pets are properly contained or relocated.
A home doesn’t pass or fail an inspection. Instead, a home inspection is a thorough evaluation of the home’s systems and components. In most cases, concerns will be noted in the inspection report, but these findings are strictly informational.
While you can legally skip a home inspection in many cases, doing so may result in purchasing a home with major issues that require costly repairs. The bank’s appraisal protects the lender — a home inspection protects the buyer.
While a home inspector may recommend minor repairs, they are not qualified to perform major repairs. The inspector can provide information about what may need attention, but the decision to complete any work lies solely with the homeowner. This not only gives you the freedom to choose your own contractors, but also helps prevent conflicts of interest.
A home inspection can affect an appraisal in two ways: (1) the inspector may identify issues that could lower the home’s value, or (2) the inspector may identify items that, once repaired, could increase the home’s value. If the inspection reveals issues requiring repair, the seller must decide whether to complete the repairs themselves or hire a professional. If the buyer wishes to proceed with the purchase, they must be prepared to account for the cost of those repairs.
