About
I have lived in the Central Arkansas area all of my life and am familiar with the styles of homes in the area and associated issues. I began buying and renovating residential properties in 1996 and acquired a great deal of construction/remodeling experience in the last 25 plus years. In addition, I worked for a prominent Foundation Repair company as an Outside Sales Rep... inspecting over 1500 homes and proposing foundation repair plans and/or drainage solutions. With this experience, I am confident I have seen more foundation issues than most home inspectors ever will, on both slab ...and pier and beam...foundations. I also know what is professional work and what is not. A large amount of added piers and beams in crawlspaces are not professional. I take pictures and document this.
I received my Home Inspection training through ABC Home Inspection Institute in 2014 and then received hands-on training by attending other Home Inspector's inspections. I then passed the National Home Inspectors Examination and the ASHI Standards of Practice and Ethics exams. I have been a licensed Home Inspector in Arkansas since 2015 exceeding the required Continuing Education hours. I attend yearly in-class training provided by ABC Home Inspection Institute plus other courses from InterNACHI (the International Association of Certified Home Inspectors). In addition to being Licensed by the state of Arkansas, I am a Certified Professional Home Inspector with InterNACHI, and a Certified ASHI Inspector.
I use software that presents a very professional report which can be partially completed on site with a mobile device, although I may take pictures with notes and type the report later depending on time constraints. I typically will finish the report at home that evening to add the proper pictures and make any edits, etc. The report will be emailed to you and, with your permission, any other interested parties (Agents, etc.).
My goal is to satisfy you, the Client, and give you an unbiased, professional report that you can read without confusion. I try and keep the report straight to the point with applicable pictures. I will deliver the report via email within 24 hours. I am usually on site for 2 hours minimum performing the inspection. It is recommend for the Client to be able to attend a walk-through on site after the inspection is completed. However, many of my Clients work... or are located out-of-state.... and are not able to physically be present. In these cases, I will follow up with a phone call to discuss the inspection results.
The inspection quotes are based on heated/cooled square footage, whether the home has a crawlspace or is on a slab, and age of the home. A small home of 1000 sq feet on a slab will start at $300, that same square footage with a crawlspace will be $350. Contact for a quote.
I thank you for taking the time to visit my website, and I look forward to hearing from you.
