About us

There are no employees or sub-contractors--you hire me and you get me. I'm a Nationally Certified Master Inspector, Licensed Building Official, International Code Council (ICC) certified residential inspector and Building Official, NC Licensed Home Inspector, SC Licensed Home Inspector, Certified Thermographer, Certified Mold Inspector, Certified Indoor Air Consultant, member of the National Association of Certified Home Inspectors. I've totaled thousands of inspections and completed countless hours of training since the business began in 2005, including NC required annual training. I have two university bachelor degrees. I inspected hundreds of homes and commercial buildings as a code inspector (Building Official) for three years during the Great Recession (the builders were excited to see me resign that position). Previous careers include four years as an Occupational Safety & Health Administration (OSHA) Compliance Officer inspecting the construction industry in SC. OSHA ingrained in me a detective-like mindset, along with thoroughness, documentation and report writing skills that are the main assets I bring to the home inspection industry. While with OSHA, I inspected a major hydro-electric project being built by Duke Power Company, and they hired me. I spent the following eleven years in the electric utility industry with Duke Energy in managerial and scientific positions, including Safety Supervisor at nuclear, fossil, and hydro plants. See my website for more details and sample reports.

Having grown accustomed to straight A ratings, I was very surprised by this review. Let me respond and hopefully this will not sound defensive. I should first state that my client was a kind, elderly lady from out of the country so she may not have been the one who wrote the review or perhaps she is just not familiar with the home inspection process. More likely the review was written by a family member (daughter) lacking all the facts. Here are the facts about the inspection on this brand new home. 1) Regarding 'Responsiveness', I did the inspection days earlier than requested, being told about her need to get it done quickly prior to her walk-through. With little prior notice as to when they needed it done, I fit this job into my schedule which was already 100% booked up for the week. My client and I communicated by email and phone several times weeks prior to the inspection. My client received a written report within 24 hours of the initial (partial) inspection and the same day as the final inspection. I'm at a complete loss to explain the C rating for this category. 2) Regarding 'Punctuality', I arrived at the inspection *days earlier than requested*. I was alone...MY CLIENT WAS NOT PRESENT at the inspection. The house was not even complete or ready to be inspected (I did a partial inspection initially). How could I not be 100% 'punctual' if there was nobody present to meet? 3) Regarding "Quality", the report contained TEN PAGES of construction defects in a new home. I used an infrared or thermal imaging camera in the course of the inspection (not many home inspectors own one as they are rather expensive) to discoverer items most inspectors would never have noticed. The defects discovered included a room's ceiling completely uninsulated and walls partially uninsulated, incorrect breakers in the main electric panel, siding and trim material installed incorrectly, roof shingle defects, a toilet that would not work, an incorrectly wired wall switch in one room, the furnace flue installed incorrectly, a defective window, etc., etc. 4) Regarding 'Price", the client was provided a written price quote about a month beforehand and hired me without any attempt to negotiate. Furthermore, since the house was not completely ready when I first arrived at the home, I returned 2 to 3 days later to complete the inspection at no extra charge, even though my contract states that there will be a $150 charge for return trips. But wait, there's more. I reduced the bill by $25 without request at the end of the inspection because the house was not as complex as I thought it might be and God whispered to me, "give this elderly client a better price". Finally on price, I never claimed to be the cheapest inspector out there. I am one of the best in the business with outstanding credentials and "you get what you pay for". 5) 'Professionalism' involved me driving to the client's home at night to assist her in logging in to her computer so she could view the report. I sat at the kitchen table and explained the report item by item to her and her daughter. I left her residence about 9:00 p.m. and got home after 10:30 to my house. Thank goodness I got a good review for this category! In summary, this Angie's List member got way more than she bargained for and the scores given demonstrate a lack of understanding on her part between an average home inspection vs. and an exceptional home inspection. Without a doubt, she received an exceptionally high quality, very professional, very responsive, and punctual home inspection in all respects. I will agree she did not receive a cheap home inspection.

Description of Work: Joe did a great job inspecting our potential home. He was very professional in all communications and preparations leading up to the inspection, and he was extremely thorough with the actual inspection, paying attention to every detail as if he were considering buying the home himself. Lastly, he was very prompt with completion and delivery of the inspection report. We would definitely recommend him highly to anyone needing a home inspection.

Excellent.
Description of Work: Joe performed an inspection of a home we're looking to soon close on. He was very thorough and provided a comprehensive report of his findings. He took the time to walk us through some of his observations and to make sure we were comfortable with the information he shared. He's a true professional and very knowledgeable.

Thank you Member. I appreciate your business. Note to other readers: the fee was higher than average because the home was 4 to 5000 SF. And the fee included a termite inspection.

Description of Work: Joe called the night before to confirm the inspection. He spent lots of time on the inspection, it was so thorough and compete! We talked through and had a pre-inspection conversation, he didn't try to upsell, he treated me very professionally. His prepared me for what would be in report, including pointing out what really needed our attention and what would be good to know about as we live in the home. The final thing is that they are really thorough and good communicators. The report has a summary and a full report. It was emailed to me within 24 hours!! A terrific choice for your inspection.
