About Me

Wenatchee Chelan County Washington

At NCW Home Inspections, LLC, each home inspection is performed as if it were my own home. The property inspection includes: structure, site, roofs, electrical, heating systems, air conditioning system, plumbing, insulation and ventilation, exteriors, fireplace and stoves, interiors, and attached garages and carports. Foundation Certification for mobile homes is also provided in partnership with FoundationCertifications.com.

I have a unique set of experiences and qualifications that include: building my own home; owning and remodeling rental property; training and practice in HazMat, Emergency and Medical response. Effective emergency responsiveness requires the ability to make astute observations and assessments for safety and remediation. This perspective ensures that you will get a great home inspection.

I promise to provide an honest, objective and thorough home inspection and report. From your first contact through the delivery of your report, you will experience the ultimate in professionalism and friendliness.
