I have the practical knowledge and hands on experience of building homes.There is no substitute for hands on experience.
As the son of a home builder, I was on the job site in one way or another from the time I could walk. In my lifetime I have built new homes, performed remodels, and done renovation work for myself and various companies in Gunnison, Crested Butte, and Colorado Springs. I have also performed all the maintenance and upgrades on my own homes and fix up cabin as well as helped friends and family with their maintenance and home improvement projects. |
I have the pleasure of educating other inspectors on how to perform home inspections.
