From military families arriving at Fort Campbell to first-time buyers near Austin Peay — Mark Schumacher brings a builder's eye and a veteran-friendly approach to every Clarksville home.
Set where the Red River meets the Cumberland, Clarksville has grown into the fifth-largest city in Tennessee. It's home to Austin Peay State University, a revitalized historic downtown along Franklin Street and a steady stream of new neighborhoods spreading out toward Sango, St. Bethlehem and the Kentucky state line. It's also the hometown of Fort Campbell, home of the 101st Airborne Division, which means thousands of military families buy and sell homes here every year. Home Inspections by SP&D serves Clarksville and all of Montgomery County from its base in Hendersonville, roughly 45 miles to the east.
Owner Mark Schumacher performs every inspection personally. He's a Tennessee-licensed home inspector (License #1374) and InterNACHI Certified Professional Inspector with more than 40 years in construction — including projects for the U.S. Military — and more than 1,500 home inspections to his name. Mark schedules only one inspection per day, which matters when you're buying from out of state on a tight PCS timeline and need someone you can trust to be thorough and easy to reach.
Clarksville's housing ranges from historic homes near downtown and older brick ranches to large tracts of new construction built over the past two decades. New homes deserve inspections too — rapid building can leave missing flashing, disconnected ductwork, grading problems and incomplete details behind. Older homes may have aging roofs, outdated electrical panels or crawl spaces with moisture issues. Mark's pre-drywall, final walk-through and 11th-month warranty inspections help new-construction buyers hold builders accountable at every stage.
Clarksville also knows severe weather. The January 1999 tornado that struck downtown and the Austin Peay campus is still part of local memory, and spring storms regularly bring high winds and heavy rain to Montgomery County. Combined with the area's clay soils and humid summers, that makes roof condition, drainage, foundation movement and crawl space moisture important parts of every inspection here.
For military buyers using VA financing, Mark explains why the VA appraisal isn't a substitute for a full home inspection — and veterans receive a discount as a thank-you for their service. Teachers and first responders save too, and qualifying inspections include a 90-day home warranty and a 5-year roof leak warranty. Call Mark at 561-301-7571 to schedule your Clarksville home inspection.

Clients across the region describe the same experience — a careful, knowledgeable inspector who takes the time to explain everything. Here's what they say about Mark.
"Mark Schumacher from SP&D is by far the best home inspector I've had the pleasure of dealing with. Having him inspect the home we were about to buy was the best decision we made. He was so thorough, and detailed. He saved us from unexpected costs, pointing out issues that might've been overlooked by other inspectors. He answered all my phone calls, even on weekends, and fully explained all the issues. I would highly recommend him to anyone thinking of buying a home, to protect yourself with the best. His knowledge and experience is second to none. We will definitely use him again in the future."

"Mark did an excellent job. He was extremely thorough with great attention to detail. We had a poor experience with an inspector the last time we bought a home, so it was very important to us to feel confident that things were being handled in the best way possible. Mark was wonderful and took the time to go over every inch of the house with us and explain the things he'd found that needed attention. He was happy to answer our questions and was extremely knowledgeable about the subject matter. I would recommend him to anyone who is thinking about buying and needs an inspection. Thank you, Mark!"
