Buying or selling a home is one of the biggest decisions you’ll make. As an experienced home inspector, my goal is to provide clear, thorough, and educational inspections that help homeowners and real estate professionals make informed decisions.
I don’t just inspect homes—I provide homeowners with a comprehensive guide to understanding and maintaining their property. My reports go beyond checklists, serving as a practical resource for keeping your home safe, efficient, and well-maintained for years to come.
My commitment doesn’t end when the inspection is over. I offer lifetime consultation services, so you can always reach out with questions about repairs, upgrades, or maintenance. Whether you’re navigating a renovation or need guidance on home improvements, I’m here to help.
In addition to working with homeowners and agents, I’ve dedicated my career to educating future home inspectors. As an instructor at Bellingham Technical College, I trained students in both classroom and field settings to meet state licensing requirements.
Through an intensive, hands-on program, I helped students:
✅ Understand state regulations, business practices, and legal considerations
✅ Master home inspection standards, including structure, electrical, plumbing, roofing, HVAC, and more
✅ Prepare for and pass the National Home Inspector Exam (NHIE) and state licensing exams
✅ Conduct real-world inspections on occupied homes under professional supervision
My training ensures that today’s home inspectors meet the highest industry standards—just like I do in every inspection I perform.
Log Cabin homes are beautiful but not very common, therefore inspecting them is a specialty.
Ivy is beautiful, and great on the wall at Wrigley Field, but it in no way has a symbiotic relationship with a home’s building materials or live trees.
