Inspecting and improving properties is second nature to me. I have been involved in remodeling homes for over 20 years, completed advanced home inspection training from The Professional Home Inspection Institute (PHII), certified by the International Association of Certified Home Inspectors (InterNACHI) and also have a technical background in engineering and consulting. 

As a home inspector, I bring together my attention to detail, scientific methodology and hands on experience with a passion for remodeling and improving homes.  The result is a comprehensive and practical approach to each home inspection.  I enjoy consulting with clients on-site and I also report the findings in an easy to digest customer friendly report. Of course, I'm also available after the inspection to address any questions or concerns.  

My reports are produced on professional home inspection software with data entry, notes and comments including high quality photos and graphics with detailed descriptions of any issues found. Reports are provided promptly via same day electronic delivery.

I am also a RESNET certified Home Energy Auditor and BPI certified Building Analyst. I apply this additional technical knowledge to provide an additional Home Performance inspection service that goes beyond what others are offering.  I look at your home as a system, not simply a collection of components or individual rooms.  With top of the line equipment and software, I can determine where there are deficiencies in the system, for example, by performing a blower door/infrared camera test I will be able to locate air leaks, insufficient insulation, hidden moisture problems, etc. and then offer corrective measures, resulting in you saving money on your utility bills and increased comfort in your home. If you are looking for a professional and analytical home inspector, I assure you that I am the right choice. I give my complete attention to your home and remain as long as it takes to ensure a thorough and comprehensive inspection and to answer any questions you may have. Please contact me at (773) 559-3360 or dave@shcinspector.com  to schedule a time to discuss your specific situation and needs. I am fully licensed and insured and all services are customizable and priced accordingly. VISA and MasterCard accepted on-site through Chase Paymentech.
