R. F. B. Home Inspection

Introduction: I started in the building trades in 1977, building houses. In 1996, I took the MI State Test for builders and passed. I have designed and built 5-star energy efficient homes and the American Lung Association Health House. I have designed and built homes made with every building material out there -- wood, steel, concrete, structural insulated panel (SIP), and insulating concrete forms (ICF). In 2000, I took a class on home inspections. After doing a number of inspections with my instructor, I started doing them on my own and started my company R. F. B. Home Inspection LLC. I have inspected new construction for clients, as well as homes that were built as far back as 1886. Every home, no matter how old, is inspected as if I were going to be buying it. In order to do this, the customer should expect to spend approximately 3 to 4 hours with me on inspection day. I will point out deficiency as I find them, put them in my report, and document them with pictures. After the inspection, I give the buyer a home education. I will walk you through the house, pointing out how to make the new home safe for you and your family.
