House Chek
I have been in the home inspection business since 1999. Prior to opening HouseChek, I was a home builder for 17 years in northwestern Oregon.I am a Certified Master Inspector®, have completed more than 4,000 paid inspections in Southern Utah and Nevada, with countless hours of continuing education, have been in business for more than 9 years, abide by the Master Inspector Certification Board’s strict Code of Ethics, abide by a Board approved Standards of Practice, and have passed a criminal background check. I am the only Certified Master Inspector® in southern Utah and one of only two in Utah.
No other inspector in southern Utah comes close to the experience level I have.
The State of Utah does not license home inspectors. If you talked to an inspector who claims to be licensed it is a city business license, not a professional license.
Certification of home inspectors through professional organizations can be purchased for as little as $195.00 per year with a few hours of computer or in-class training. Many inspectors have little or no experience in the home construction field.
“Don’t trust your inspection to the new guy on the block”. Use a tried and tested professional who has learned to balance inspections, knowing the difference between insignificant home defects and major problems. I can explain how to repair/replace deficiencies.

Thank you for the opportunity to serve you. I will make it a professional experience in every way.

Stressed?
Relax. Most of your inspection will be maintenance recommendations, life expectancies and minor imperfections. The issues that really matter will fall into four categories:- Major defects. An example of this would be a structural failure.
- Things that lead to major defects. A small roof-flashing leak, for example.
- Things that may hinder your ability to finance, legally occupy, or insure the home.
- Safety hazards, such as an exposed, live buss bar at the electric panel.
