Our inspector has over 30 years of honest, practical, experience and is recommended by all of our clients and many attorneys for home inspections and problem solving. We compete with inspectors that have only a few years of college and none to minimal expeirance in the building field. There are those who have been trained to build roads, bridges, work with chemicals, airplanes, draw architectural plans, etc.
There are also inspectors that have designed, built, and re-built, everything in a home inspection.
