FAQs
- How did you get started doing this type of work?
I started my career back in 1981 by taking classes in HVAC, electrical, plumbing and stationary engineering at Tampa Bay Technical high school. After graduating from high school I moved into maintenance in the hotel industry in 1986 and continued my education at Tampa Bay Technical Institute. In 1990 I moved into the multi-family housing industry where I remained until 2004 opening up and overseeing the construction of multi million dollar properties such as City Place Residential and The Strand in downtown West Palm Beach and properties in Fort Lauderdale, Miami, Tampa and Fort Myers. In 2004 I left The Strand and started working full time for General Electric repairing appliances and part time inspecting homes for the previous owner of Beacon Home Inspection Services. In 2010 I bought out the owner of Beacon Home Inspection Services, revamped the business and have been one of the top home inspection companies in South Florida ever since.

- What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?
You'Âve done your homework, saved your money, found the best Realtor in Palm Beach County. You'Âve spent countless hours looking for the right home. Now that youÃÂve found it, let Beacon Home Inspection Services LLC make sure your buying the home of your dreams's and not someone else's nightmare. When it comes to the overall safety and health of your family, home and investment, there are no substitutes for experience, training and your home inspectors due diligence. There are so many hazards in the modern American home today whether it be from an environmental, structural, or a mechanical issue. Choosing the right home inspector is just as important as choosing the right home. You want someone who is experienced in all aspects of the home inspection process. Someone who has a working knowledge of what it takes to maintain a home so he/she can pass that knowledge on to you. Above all else, you want a home inspector that has your families safety in mind. At Beacon Home Inspection Services your safety is our top priority. You'll also want to make sure that your home inspection service provider is licensed and insured. Ask your home inspector what type of report he/she will provide. After all the report is what it's all about. If you can't understand it it's not worth the paper it's printed on. At Beacon Home Inspection Services we provide only the best reports. Our home inspection reports are computer generated. They are a narrative type report with edited photos depicting areas of concern as opposed to a check list that is very vague and lacking in detail. It's very important to choose a home inspector that is affiliated and certified through one of the national associations such as InterNACHI or ASHI. I am a proud member of InterNACHI and I'll be the first to admit that even with all of my experience and knowledge, without the continuous education and certifications from InterNACHI, my business wouldn't be half of what it is today. If you have any questions feel free to give me call. Sincerely, William Scott Beacon Home Inspection Services LLC
