Why should you hire me?

I will perform only one inspection per day so when you hire me you get my undivided attention for the entire day.  I also encourage you to be at the inspection so I can answer any questions that you may have.  You will get my written report the day of the inspection after I return to my office and write it up.  I do not try to write while I am inspecting your home because I believe that it is a distraction.

I have been performing home inspections professionally since 1998. Prior to that I worked as a home builder/remodeling contractor for 14 years. Beginning in 1998 I began to work for a housing agency that, among many activities, had a first time home buyer program and a housing rehabilitation program. In my duties for them, I inspected over 800 homes and provided detailed reports for the buyers or owners as to the conditions of their homes.

I relocated to Fairmont, WV in February, 2008, and opened Pleasant Valley Associates in April of that year. He is licensed as a home inspector in West Virginia by the State Fire Marshal’s Office. I bring to the area an extensive knowledge of housing systems, construction techniques, and the building code. My licensing requires continuing education on home inspection methods and components.

In this line, I received training in Mold Inspection in December 2008 and now offers Mold Testing and Inspection along with, or independent of, the normal Home Inspection.

Additionally, I have been trained and certified as a Radon Measurement Specialist by the National Radon Safety Board.  I am licensed in West Virginia as a Radon Tester by the Office of Environmental Health Services; Radiation, Toxics and Indoor Air Division.  This license also requires continuing education in methodology and legislation.
