Thermal Imagining Review
My goal is to provide my clients with a detailed yet easy to understand inspection report and be available to answer all their questions. My clients can call me anytime and I also offer a home management subscription complete with referred professionals to assist with future repairs and maintenance.
Meeting new people, agents and being a part of the home buying process is a great feeling. As a licensed home inspector I need to continue to educate myself and I am always learning new things about new building technology. Getting to inspect different types of homes and get to know all of the neighborhoods and suburbs is always an adventure!
