Why You Should Choose Baseline!

I can tell you the construction industry is that of a complex one. It might not seem like it, but understanding the complexity is simple because it is separated by trades. You have foundations, wood framing, plumbing, electrical, and more. Tradesman will typically start on the lowest level of one trade and they will progressively move up throughout their careers. But the home inspection trade evaluates all areas of construction. The best home inspector for you is someone who has exceptionally varied work experience, education, and qualifications. This individual should have small amounts of knowledge, training, and skills in each area, not large amounts in one trade. This versatility will give the individual what they need to be a great home inspector.

A big reason why you should choose Baseline, is that I have been in the construction industry for over 20 years. I have been around a lot of construction, everything from decks to multi level steel buildings, from concrete foundations to the roof. Not to mention a small stint as a handyman, which I thoroughly enjoy. Unknowingly to me, I made construction my career path, even through the first years of my higher education. I say this because, no matter what jobs or education I went through I always ended up back where I started.

After I realized how versatile my construction experience was, I started to study home inspection and get training, So I decided to go back to school and complete the Home Inspector certification program. As I progressed through various home inspection associations and school, I was able to fine tune the amount of knowledge in all areas of construction. The reason you should choose me as your home inspector is because I have an incredibly varied experience, education, and qualifications in all areas of construction. This versatility is the perfect condition to make an excellent home inspector, which makes me an extremely qualified person for you.

I have met several Home Inspectors in my time and one thing I can say, is that I had the knowledge before I started this journey, most home inspectors don’t and a majority of their education comes from the Home inspection school itself. So who would you choose?
