About Hoosier Guy Home Inspection

 

I didn’t become a home inspector because it sounded glamorous. I became one because I learned - the hard way - what happens when an inspection isn’t done thoroughly.

I have owned six different houses as an adult, and four came with serious problems that inspectors should have or could have caught: Aluminum wiring that caused a fire while we were away on vacation, a broken main drain line, Chinese drywall that forced my family out of our new home, extensive termite damage that cost most of my retirement savings, and twice, a new roof that still leaked badly. These weren’t small inconveniences – each was financially devastating on its own. Do I think home ownership is crazy? Not at all. But buying a home without knowing everything possible about it first? Now THAT is crazy!

I know all too well what it is like to be blindsided by hidden defects, and I know how much it can cost. If I could have put all of that repair money into my IRA, I would be sipping an umbrella drink on the beach in Cozumel right now, and you would be on somebody else’s website instead of mine.

That’s why I inspect homes the way I wish someone had inspected mine.

When you hire me, you’re not getting a national franchise or a rotating cast of part-time inspectors. You’re getting the business owner himself- a person who has lived through the worst‑case scenarios, and is committed to doing his best to making sure you don’t have to experience the same pain that he went through.

Every home has a story. My job is to discover that story, and tell it to you, so you have the information you need to move forward with confidence.
