Home Inspector
I was raised around construction, as a young man my first job was with a family excavation company assisting with projects that ranged from foundations, septic systems, waterline installation, underground electric, and most components of a house that are subterranean. I guess you can say my hands-on education started from the ground up.
In my twenties I branched out into the home improvement field of the industry, where I specialized in understanding a variety of roofing systems. During that period of my life I became a GAF certified shingle installer and came to know and understand proper roof installation of metal, asphalt, tile and copper roofs. I also learned how to diagnose leaks on already installed roof systems working with several veterans in the field. As you can imagine I learned a lot while working in the home improvement industry. Many of our remodel projects were initiated by some contractor’s initial mistake. As we systematically disassembled and reassembled many components of a house including, basements, framework, plumbing, electrical wiring, doors, windows, etc. I came to recognize the right and wrong way to do things.
Now that I own my own home, I recognize even more the importance that maintenance plays when it comes to keeping a home in good working order. I believe education never stops, I enjoy continuing to learn about every aspect of home construction as I inspect homes, rest assured if I don’t have an answer, I will find one!
