As owner of RELIANCE Home Inspections, I provide the highest level of professional service available. I will spend more time inspecting and talking with you than most inspectors to reduce your uncertainties about the investment you are making as much as possible. You’ll get an education as well as an inspection if you accompany me on the inspection.

My written report is ready on-site for condos, or e-mailed the next day for houses or specialized inspections, and we discuss what I've found in a way that puts the property and its condition into perspective. I take the time to answer your questions so you are comfortable with your life's biggest purchase. We will discuss your repair options and costs generally, so you know what is involved. And you can call me anytime afterwards with more questions—I’m always available. I live by the CREIA Code of Ethics.

With graduate degrees in business and chemistry, and varied life/business experience, I relate easily to a wide range of clients. I understand environmental issues so I can explain them accurately. The thoroughness of my inspection reassures everybody, and you'll appreciate how clearly I present my findings and alternative solutions. You can depend on me!

My experience includes thousands of physical and environmental inspections. These include regular inspections of properties to determine their condition and need for repair, as well as special purpose inspections for a variety of purposes. I have trained inspectors, developed inspection procedures and documentation systems including proprietary software, and conducted training courses and seminars for real estate agents and inspectors. RELIANCE has inspected a variety of property types, including houses, estate properties, condominium units and complexes, apartment buildings, commercial and industrial buildings, office buildings, shopping centers, high-rise buildings, theaters, and raw land.

In addition, I have conducted environmental inspections for mold, asbestos, radon, lead, formaldehyde, methane, carbon monoxide, and electromagnetic fields in buildings, water, soil, and air. I provide neighborhood environmental reports that compile information from all available databases to find out if there are any nearby environmental problems.

I have also operated a property repair and maintenance business and construction companies, supervising contractors and handymen. This has given me hands-on knowledge of how a property's systems and their components age and fail, and what is involved in their repair or replacement.
