• Qualifications:

There is absolutely no substitute for hands on extensive construction experience. I know there are many schools out there that "teach" people how to be inspectors. I know there are general contractors out there that think because they are licensed to build homes that qualifies them to inspect them. I get calls every week from people looking for employment as an inspector and without fail their qualifications basically constitute "I took a course on home Inspection." I mean absolutely no disrespect to the reputable schools out there because they do serve a purpose. The school's purpose should be to teach people with EXTENSIVE knowledge of the construction/remodeling industry how to best apply their knowledge on how to perform a proper home inspection and how inspections work with the real estate industry. However the problem is most schools, societies, and foundations relating to the home inspection industry are in it for the money, so pay your dues, pass their exams and they will endorse you, but they won't insure you. I've taken the tests for ASHI and NACHI, and both battery of tests were an absolute joke. Passing these tests and paying the dues should not in any way qualify people to be an inspector, but unfortunately it does because there is no governing body in the state of Florida for home inspections. Every year the state says it's going to happen but it never does. So be VERY careful who you hire to do an inspection.

So what are my qualifications? I'm a vice president of a construction company. I am a Florida State certified Building Contractor #CBC1257562. I grew up in the residential construction field. I was leading framing crews on large custom homes by the time I was 17 years old. I worked for a small company that built the house from the ground up. We dug the footers, we installed the roof and everything in between (except where not permitted by state law). We built countless custom homes this way in the 80's and 90's. However, the real experience that comes into play for the inspection industry is in remodeling. I've remodeled restaurants, Churches, stores, old homes and newer homes. Remodeling older homes and fixing it's problems and turning them into someone's pride and joy teaches more than any class could. I've remodeled countless kitchens and bathrooms, turned many back porches into Florida rooms and installed 10's of thousands of square feet of tile and wood floor. I've repaired water damage and fire damage. I worked down in south Florida for 2 years repairing homes in the wake of hurricane Andrew. The best way to learn how to inspect something is having extensive experience on taking it apart and putting it back together. These days I still do custom trim work on high end custom homes when I have the time. It's something I enjoy and will probably always be in the field in some way or another.

I consider myself a firm but fair inspector. I'm not there to sell a house, I'm there to inspect it. I'm not there to pick every house apart either. I perform a thorough unbiased inspection of every single house I look at. I'm not afraid to bring up issues because I don't want to ruffle real estate agents feathers. Most Realtors are very good at their job and when a problem is brought to light by an inspection they are quick to get the situation resolved. Of course I've had the shady ones ask me not to put certain things on my report because they were afraid it would kill the deal....sorry, you got the wrong guy for that one. There is no such thing as passing or failing an inspection. Every transaction is different. Sometimes major issues are found, corrected and the deal closes on time. Sometimes small insignificant things are found and the buyers use it to opt out of the contract. It's all between the buyer, seller and their respective agents. The inspectors job is to illustrate the condition of the home both good and bad, not to get in the middle of the real estate transaction. I love to talk to people and answer their questions at the inspection and hopefully everyone leaves the inspection feeling great about it.
