When you need a closer look at one part of the house — the roof, the foundation, the wiring or the crawl space — Mark Schumacher brings four decades of building experience to that system.
Every home is a collection of systems that have to work together: the roof and exterior, the foundation and framing, electrical, plumbing, heating and cooling, the crawl space and the attic. A home systems and structure inspection takes a focused, detailed look at one or more of these components.
These inspections are ideal when you have a specific concern — a roof that looks tired, a crack in the foundation, flickering lights or a crawl space that smells damp — or when you want a deeper evaluation of a particular system during a purchase.
Mark Schumacher spent more than 40 years in construction before becoming an inspector. He understands how each system is supposed to be built and how it typically fails, which helps him explain what he finds and what kind of professional should handle the repair.
Choose the system you're concerned about, or combine several for a deeper look.

Mark evaluates the whole system involved, documents what he finds and explains the likely cause in plain language. That helps you get accurate quotes from the right contractor — roofer, electrician, plumber, HVAC technician or structural engineer.
Because Mark doesn't perform repairs, his only job is to give you an honest assessment.
No matter which system you book, you'll receive:
