  • Structural

  • Electrical
  • Plumbing
  • Heating
  • Cooling
  • Interiors
  • Insulation
  • Ventilation
  • Fireplaces & Wood-burning appliances
  • Pools & Spas

    Coming into class I inspected 5,000 to 7,000 houses as an insurance adjuster and real estate appraiser. The past week’s education and textbooks has doubled or tripled my knowledge. The marketing session will make it happen!
