Inspection Expertise That Protects Buyers
Rich personally attends home inspections, verifying that structural, mechanical, electrical, roofing, plumbing, and safety components are thoroughly evaluated.

Rich monitors important milestones such as foundation work, framing, mechanical installation, roofing, insulation, and pre-drywall reviews. His involvement helps catch potential issues early when they are easiest to address.
His construction knowledge helps buyers understand what is normal, what is a concern, and what needs attention before final walkthroughs or closing.
