“Picture-Perfect Inspections”
Setting the Standard in Western North Carolina Home Inspections
Meet Your Inspector
A licensed home inspector and native of Western North Carolina, I have been immersed in the construction industry from a young age. My experience spans various roles, including roofing, framing, and drywall, before I discovered my passion for electrical work. This journey led me to a position as a mechatronics engineer with a German automotive company, where I honed my skills further. However, my true calling has always been to build and assist others. Today, I combine my diverse expertise and keen attention to detail as a licensed home and commercial inspector, dedicated to helping you with one of your most significant investments—your home.
In my free time, I enjoy playing the drums (Best of WNC #1 Ranked Drummer – Mountain Xpress) , riding mountain bikes and motorcycles, and restoring classic British cars.
WNC's Premier Inspection Services
Residential
Inspections
Buying a home is one of the biggest investments you will ever make. Before you buy, you should have a home inspection to avoid potentially costly repairs that would otherwise go undetected until they become even more costly.
Commercial
Inspections
A commercial building inspection helps you identify potential problems before they become expensive repairs or even worse, an unsafe structure. It also gives you peace of mind knowing that your property is safe for tenants and visitors.
Mold
Testing
There are over 400,000 types of mold, and while there are only a few dozen that are toxic, exposure to many molds can lead to health problems. It can also cause structural damage to your house.
Radon
Testing
No matter where you are in America, your home may be exposed to dangerous radon gas. Radon is a natural, radioactive, invisible, and odorless gas that is produced when uranium in the Earth’s crust decays and turns into radium. Radon is also the 2nd leading cause of lung cancer in the United States.
Thermal
Imaging
The purpose of an infrared scan is to find hidden issues and catch them before they become a major problem. Thermal imaging is an advanced & newer technology that inspectors use to get temperature details about a home, and assess how protected against environmental elements the home is.
Drone
Inspections
Drone technology has revolutionized the way we inspect roofs. It's much faster, safer, and more thorough than traditional methods, and it allows us to see areas that were previously inaccessible.
New Home
Inspections
Newly constructed homes need an objective third-party to inspect. The city or county inspectors often don’t catch everything, but we’ve been trained to have a keen eye for anything that could compromise a new home’s lifetime or safety.
Warranty
Inspections
Most builders offer a one-year warranty on a new home. We perform a full home inspection before the builder’s warranty expires. Just because your home is new, doesn’t necessarily mean it is defect-free. At your 11-month mark, take advantage of your last chance to take advantage of your warranty!
Pre-Drywall
Inspections
It becomes increasingly difficult to inspect these important parts of your home when the drywall is installed, which means it's imperative to get a preemptive inspection.
The Best Modern Report in the Industry
While Frame Home Inspections encourages our clients to walk through the home with us, we understand that you may be too busy, and may not have time to do so.
Regardless of whether or not you attend the inspection, we will compile a comprehensive Spectora report, which includes all of the information you need to determine the condition of the home.
We will deliver our report within 24 hours of the conclusion of your home inspection, so that you can quickly access a full overview of our findings – and discuss them with us and your agent.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a home inspection?
A home inspection is an objective visual examination of the physical structure and systems of a house, from the roof to the foundation. Home inspections are designed to protect the buyer, by revealing problems they might not have noticed otherwise.
How much does a home inspection cost?
The cost will vary based on the square footage of the home, the age of the home, and location of the home. Call, text, or email us for a quote today!
How long does a home inspection take?
Home inspections generally take 2 to 4 hours to complete. The duration of a home inspection depends on many factors such as the size of the home, the condition of the home, and the ability to access certain areas of the home (roof, crawl space, attic, etc.).
Should I attend the inspection?
Although it is not necessary, we do recommend that you attend the inspection so you can ask questions and learn more about the home. You will learn a lot from the inspection report, but we always encourage you to attend!
What if the inspection report reveals problems?
It is important to note that no house is perfect. At the end of the home inspection process, we will provide a detailed report that describes the physical condition of the property, with images and videos highlighting what may need repair or replacement. The information provided is to allow a potential buyer to make an informed decision about moving forward with the transaction. It is not pass or fail.
