Hi, I’m Steve. I’ve been working in construction since 1975 and inspecting homes and buildings in the Pacific Northwest since 1991. My love of structures began much earlier though. I started surveying my neighbors’ furnaces at age 6. Below you will find some of my certifications. Homes and buildings are my passion and luckily, my profession.
Other activities I enjoy are kayaking, biking, hiking, skiing, woodworking and swimming. Don’t hesitate to call or write, I’m happy to help.
