My journey began in the construction industry, where I spent decades building and renovating properties across Kansas. Through my work with homeowners, business owners, and investors, I came to understand the critical role of thorough property inspections. I witnessed how overlooked details or hidden issues could result in costly repairs, safety risks, and even legal challenges. This realization inspired me to focus on delivering top-quality property inspections that give my clients peace of mind and confidence in their investment.

I believe in leveraging the latest inspection technology and industry-leading methods to provide timely and thorough reports. My tools include thermal imaging for identifying hidden plumbing, insulation, or roofing issues, as well as radon and mold testing to ensure your indoor environment is clean and healthy. For hard-to-reach areas, such as roofs, I utilize drone technology, allowing for a detailed and safe inspection of your property’s exterior. These advancements help save time, effort, and money while ensuring absolute accuracy and peace of mind.
