Special Industry Tool
Hidden, hard to find damage can be expensive. Don uses his years of experience as a construction specialist to carefully examine every component/system in the home. This gives our clients the clearest possible understanding of the true condition of the home at the time of the inspection. To achieve this, Don uses a special industry tool:
Moisture Meter
This tracks down accumulations of moisture and mold.
Buildings Inspected
Don’s primary focus is on residential buildings, although he does inspect commercial properties as well. His most frequently inspected building types include:
Homes of All Values
Apartments
Condominiums
Townhomes
Light Commercial Buildings (strip malls, storefronts, etc.)
He also spends most of his time inspecting single family homes that have two stories or are in the ranch style.
Time Off with Don
Don loves being in the outdoors exploring, hiking/camping, hunting/fishing, and cutting wood. He believes that a good day in the woods or on the water fishing is good for the soul.
