FAQs
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I pursue continuing education constantly. I include formal training in classroom setups by recognized trade associations as well as informal study of technical bulletins, trade manuals, and discussion forums.
- How did you get started doing this type of work?
I wanted to help people. I have a unique set of skills in that I can see beyond the skin of a building but understand it's bones. This enables me to see and report on all aspects of a structure. I want to use this knowledge to teach and educate others.
- What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?
You have the right to choose your home inspector. Many buyers and sellers look to their real estate agent or realtor for recommendations. This is good because the realtors are familiar with those inspectors and their work. But I recommend doing your own research as well. Look at samples of their reports (most have an example on their site), read reviews and contact them and ask questions.
