About Acreage & Lake Home Inspections
Certified Expertise
I'm the owner and inspector at Acreage & Lake Home Inspections, bringing over 30 years of hands-on experience in residential remodeling, home expansion, and detached structure building to the home inspection industry. While relatively new to formal inspections, my extensive background in construction provides a unique and invaluable perspective that goes beyond the standard checklist.
My journey in construction has equipped me with a deep understanding of how homes and outbuildings are built, the common issues they face, and the critical details that can be easily overlooked. Coupled with my comprehensive Certified Home Inspector training through InterNACHI, I offer clients in Southwest Iowa (including Council Bluffs) and the Lake of the Ozarks (primarily Warsaw, MO) exceptionally detailed and insightful property assessments.
I'm passionate about serving the specific needs of those dealing with acreage and lakefront properties. I understand the unique challenges and considerations that come with these types of homes, from well and septic systems to waterfront structures and large outbuildings. That's why I offer specialized services like seawall and dock inspections, with a strong emphasis on safety – particularly identifying potential electrical hazards on docks. For my acreage clients, my experience with agricultural buildings and shops ensures a thorough evaluation of the entire property.
My commitment is to provide you with the knowledge and confidence you need to make informed decisions, whether you're buying your dream lake home, selling your cherished acreage, or simply want a clear understanding of your property's condition. I stand by the quality of my work and offer the InterNACHI Buy-Back Guarantee for added peace of mind.
At Acreage & Lake Home Inspections, my goal is simple: to help you "Protect Your Paradise" with thorough, honest, and reliable inspections tailored to your unique property and needs. I believe in transparent pricing and ensuring you only pay for the services that truly benefit you. I look forward to the opportunity to serve you!
