| | Forensic science, the study of how systems fail (What Went Wrong & Why as I call it), helps us identify poor building techniques so we don't keep making the same mistakes. Building science, the study of how systems function best, helps us identify new & improved building techniques that produce more durable homes that require less maintenance and consume less energy. Recipe for success:
Combine skills in construction (building science) and inspection (forensic science),
bake for 20 years in Texas sun on roofs & in attics, and you have an Advanced Inspector.
Back to top Why Hire an Advanced Inspector: Published documentation of "installation protocols", as specified by building codes and manufacturer's recommendations, and "long-term performance standards" literally fill entire bookcases. An Advanced Inspector who has 20 years of training, construction experience, & inspection experience (plus an interest in science) understands:
 | What the technical material actually means, |
| Why proper procedures are required during construction, and |
| Where cascading defects are most likely to cause damage to subordinate systems. |
Back to top Let me know if I can help educate you about the condition of the home you are about to buy. My fees are competitive with those charged by my peers. Note: If an inspector is not a member of ASHI (the American Society of Home Inspectors), that inspector is likely not my peer.
Newly-minted graduates of the community college, who charge you to for the opportunity to learn on your house, are DEFINITELY not my peers.
ASHI members, who must sit for a 4-hour membership examination & must adhere to a strict code of ethics, generally are.
