Livin the Dream Home Inspections -RESIDENTIAL & COMMERCIAL INSPECTIONS
-MOLD TESTING
-SEWER LATERAL CAMERA INSPECTIONS
-WOOD DESTROYING INSECT INSPECTION

With 25 years of hands-on experience in commercial construction, I bring a level of expertise that sets me apart from other inspectors. My career includes 12 years in construction, 13 years in public works for the Borough of Emmaus, and 2 years as a codes and zoning official, giving me a deep understanding of building structures, utilities, and infrastructure. During this time, I also earned a degree in Construction Management from Lehigh Carbon Community College, further strengthening my technical knowledge. Unlike many inspectors who rely solely on book knowledge, I have physically done the work myself—installing water and sewer lines, constructing buildings, and paving roads. My firsthand experience allows me to inspect properties with a trained eye that only comes from years in the field. In addition to my experience, I have accumulated numerous certifications, including those in home, mold, sewer, wood-destroying insects and NASSCO certifications for manholes, lateral lines, and main pipelines. I also hold a water distribution license and various commercial inspection credentials, including BCO and plumbing certifications. With this combination of real-world experience and industry-recognized certifications, my inspection services provide unmatched accuracy, reliability, and insight. When you choose my company, Livin the Dream Home Inspections LLC, you’re not just getting an inspector—you’re getting someone who has built, maintained, and inspected properties from the ground up.

I don’t often share details from the inspections I perform out of respect for my clients’ privacy, but I wanted to take a moment to reflect on an inspection I was honored to do recently. A couple reached out and asked me to represent them during the final walkthrough of their newly built home.

Walkthroughs are such an important step—whether it’s new construction or an older home. It’s easy for buyers to get caught up in things like where the couch will fit or whether the paint color feels right, while critical details—like rust under a boiler—can go unnoticed.

During this walkthrough, I was able to answer their questions, review the inspection reports with them, and help them fully understand the process. It’s moments like these that remind me why I do what I do: giving clients peace of mind and confidence in one of the biggest investments of their lives.

If you’re purchasing a home, building one, or even exploring your next commercial investment, I’d be happy to help. Check out Livin the Dream Home Inspections—where details matter, and your peace of mind is the priority.

I’d like to extend a sincere thank you to Chuck Wolf of Barry Isett Inspections for the opportunity to speak at Lehigh Carbon Community College (LCCC) recently.

As a graduate of LCCC’s Associate Degree program, it was truly an honor to return—this time as a guest speaker. Chuck and I share the belief that giving back to the next generation of professionals is essential—not only for personal growth but also for building a meaningful career.

I had the pleasure of discussing Codes and Zoning with students, and how they serve as a foundation for building safe, sustainable communities. My journey through commercial construction and inspections has brought me to this point, and I’m proud to say: it’s never too late to grow, change, and make a difference.

Thank you again, Chuck. It was an unforgettable experience.

Why Commercial and Home Inspections Are Important

Whether you're buying, selling, leasing, or maintaining a property, inspections are a critical part of protecting your investment. Both commercial and home inspections provide valuable insights that can save you time, money, and future headaches.

1. Uncover Hidden Issues
Inspections reveal problems that may not be visible to the untrained eye—such as structural damage, electrical issues, plumbing concerns, HVAC malfunctions, or roofing problems. Identifying these early helps avoid costly surprises down the road.

2. Protect Your Investment
For both commercial and residential properties, inspections help ensure you're making a sound financial decision. Knowing the true condition of a property allows you to protect your biggest investment.

3. Ensure Safety and Code Compliance
Inspections verify that systems are safe and meet current building codes and standards. This is especially important for commercial properties where the safety of employees, tenants, and customers is a top priority.

4. Plan for Future Maintenance
Inspectors can point out aging systems and components that may require attention soon, helping property owners plan for future maintenance and budgeting effectively.

5. Build Trust and Confidence
Whether you're a buyer or seller, an inspection promotes transparency. Sellers show good faith by disclosing the condition of the property, and buyers gain confidence in what they're purchasing.
