Call on me for the Good, the Bad and the Ugly

I like houses. New or old, it doesn’t matter. I like to learn things about them and find out if they will be a good place for people to live with few problems. I’ve worn a tool pouch, swung a hammer, taken a home from blueprints to completed properties. Worked with architects, engineers, and owners.

I’m a good inspector and I can attribute that to my curious nature and my previously stated background. I’ve been in the construction business for most of my working life. In New York City, I was responsible for the layout of the skyscrapers as they came up out of the ground. After coming to Florida in 1989 I got my feet wet with single family construction. Then in 1992, I was push into graduate studies of single family housing courtesy of infamous Hurricane Andrew. I worked for homeowners as well as with insurance companies.

Because of my construction background, I know first hand what makes a structure strong and the consequences of poor building practices. I use this expertise to take my time and study things the homebuyer might never think of examining or might be too embarrassed to question. Having built both commercial and residential properties as a construction supervisor, I’ve seen how buildings progress. I know how shortcuts or poor building practices can become expensive, time consuming and disruptive annoyances in time.

So call on me the next time you want to find the good, bad or ugly in your home, I enjoy my work. Oh wait. Can you call it work when you enjoy it? Ha!
