Michael Wicklund is the owner and operator of STERLING Home Inspection Services. Michael began his career in the construction field. He is a third generation carpenter following in his father and grandfather's footsteps. As a self-employed remolding contractor his focus was on kitchen and bath remodels. With experience in these areas he was continually called upon to bid jobs related to real estate transactions. This work is commonly referred to as real estate work orders, i.e. any item needing repair generated from a home inspection or pest inspection. After seventeen years of remodeling and repairs from other inspector's reports, and feeling the need for a career change the natural path was for him to become a home inspector himself. With his past construction experience he decided to attend home inspection school, he chose Inspection Training Associates ITA because of their high quality of training in the inspection industry. There he received certification allowing him to become a well-rounded home inspector. In addition, he acquired the necessary licensing from the Washington State Department of Agriculture, which allows him to perform structural pest inspections (W.D.O. inspections). Education is a high priority to Michael; he frequently attends continuing education classes, so he can stay up to date on the most current building practices. Michael finds great satisfaction as a full time home and commercial building inspector educating perspective buyers.
