Before inspecting homes, I spent over 20 years as a software developer — training my mind to find problems others overlook, think analytically, and communicate complex issues clearly. That same precision is what I bring to every inspection.
I speak 7 languages, which means I can work with virtually any family in Northeast Ohio — no language barrier, no confusion, just clear answers about the biggest purchase of your life.
As a father of two daughters, I understand what it means to want a safe, secure home. I treat every inspection as if my own family were moving in — thorough, honest, and with your best interests first.
A home inspection is a professional evaluation of a property's major systems — roof, foundation, plumbing, electrical, HVAC, and structure. It helps buyers understand the home's condition before purchase, and gives sellers a chance to address issues proactively.
Cost depends on the size, age, and location of the property. We offer competitive, transparent pricing with no hidden fees. Contact us directly for a fast, honest quote.
Structure, roof, attic, basement, electrical, plumbing, heating and cooling, insulation, windows, doors, and all visible interior and exterior components. Optional add-ons include radon testing, mold inspection, and sewer scope.
Most inspections take 2–3 hours depending on the property's size and condition. We never rush — thoroughness is always the priority.
