How did you get started doing this type of work?

After retiring from the Air Force, I wanted to continue my career of helping others. The Realtor that we used to Buy/Sell suggested that with my background and skillset that I look in to Home Inspection. Being vaguely familar with it, my interest was piqued. Once I looked a little deeper in to the profession I was absolutely hooked and knew that I had found my new passion.

What types of customers have you worked with?

First Time Home Buyers, Investors, and everything in between.

Describe a recent project you are fond of. How long did it take?

A typical home inspection takes anywhere from 2-4 hours, but really... it takes as long as it takes. I only do one inspection per day because I do not want my Clients to feel like I am rushing off to my next inspection and they are just 'another client'. As I like to tell folks... "One a Day, the Right Way".

What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?

A home purchase can be a very emotional endeavor and the process after having an offer accepted can be hurried and dizzying. Your REALTOR will most likely provide a list of inspectors they know... this could be good or bad, you need to trust your gut on if your agent is looking out for your best interest. Many are, but there are some who are not. Take a moment to do your own research on local home inspectors and decide which one provides you with the best value. We are confident that GSI does just that. This is one of those purchases where, more often than not, you get what you pay for.

What questions should customers think through before talking to professionals about their project?

Texas has a Standard of Practice (SOP) that provides the minimum inspection requirements. The last thing you want is a "Minimum Inspection". Make sure your inspector goes above and beyond the Texas SOP by checking every accessible receptacle, window, door, and system in the house. Be aware that some systems, such as irrigation, pools/spas, etc. may have an additional fee.
