🚨 “Do Not Use” List? 🚨

If being thorough, objective, and unwilling to rubber-stamp a structure lands me on a builder’s “do not use” list… I’m okay with that.

My role as a home inspector is not to protect builders, agents, or transactions. My role is to provide an unbiased evaluation in the best interest of my client.

A new construction inspection is simply another set of eyes on the structure. And when it comes to one of the largest purchases most people will ever make, more qualified eyes are a good thing.

I don’t report opinions.
I report conditions.
And when I call out a defect, I back it with authoritative sources, manufacturer requirements, building standards, or industry best practices.

Anything can be repaired.
But issues that are never identified cannot be addressed.

At the end of the day, my job is simple:
Report what was right.
Report what was wrong.
Remain independent.
Protect the client’s ability to make an informed decision.

Upcoming blog post coming soon. 👀

Wayne made it clear he values all the facts, and I appreciated that. We walked through the structure together, including the attic and crawl space, and had the kind of thorough conversation that helps a client truly understand what they’re buying or preparing to sell.

That’s how I believe inspections should be done: honest, thorough, and informative.

I’m grateful for the review and for clients who value clarity over comfort.

Honest. Thorough. On Your Side.

Today is somewhat bittersweet. It marks the end of a 9-year era with Spectora.

I’m grateful for what it helped me accomplish over the years, but I’m genuinely excited about what’s ahead with Binsr Inspect. I believe this move will be a positive one not only for me, but also for my clients and the real estate agents involved.

Onwards and upwards. 👍🚀

Contractor: “Johnny, make sure we get 150 nails per square to secure these shingles.”
Johnny: “Yes sir boss, we did 150 nails per square foot just like you asked.” 😂😮🔨

Overkill never hurt anyone… unless you’re the one in the attic. 🏠😅

Who dat?!? 😄

Apparently AI got close enough, but the review is the part that really matters.

I’m grateful for clients like this who take the time to share such thoughtful feedback. My goal is always to be thorough, honest, and helpful while giving clients a clear understanding of the structure they’re buying, along with the good, the bad, and what it may mean moving forward.

Reviews like this remind people that a home inspection is not just about finding problems. It’s about understanding the structure, asking the right questions, and making informed decisions with clarity.

Thank you again to Lenay for the kind words and trust.

Honest. Thorough. On Your Side.

Reviews like this never get old.

Buying out of state can feel like a leap of faith, so I work hard to give my clients the kind of inspection and report I’d want for my own family: thorough, detailed, honest, and clear.

Thank you, Kimmy, for trusting me through the process and for the kind words.

Honest. Thorough. On Your Side.

New construction does not mean defect-free. 👀🏠

At today’s inspection, there was DWV piping above the electrical panel that had encroached on the panel’s required dedicated space — and the piping was actively leaking at the time of inspection. 💧⚡

This is exactly why I always say buyers should never assume a new build is problem-free just because the city or municipality has already signed off on it. Municipal inspections have their place, but they are not the same as a thorough, independent home inspection.

Brand new structures can still have real defects.New does not equal perfect.

Honest. Thorough. On Your Side.

My goal is never just to point out concerns, but to give clients clear, useful information they can actually understand and use. I want people to walk away from an inspection feeling informed, better prepared, and confident in the decisions ahead.

I truly appreciate Danny taking the time to leave this review.
