An old mineral-springs resort town on the Harpeth River, now one of Cheatham County's favorite places to live — Mark Schumacher inspects Kingston Springs homes with a builder's patience.
Kingston Springs began with settlers drawn to the Harpeth River and the area's sulfur springs; a hotel and tavern went up near the springs in 1819, and the Kingston Springs Hotel complex, with its 1860s cottages, was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1979. The town incorporated in 1965 with just 290 people, and the arrival of municipal sewer service in 1989 opened the door to new neighborhoods. Today about 2,800 residents live among wooded ridges just off I-40, close to the Narrows of the Harpeth and the Golf Club of Tennessee. Homes range from older cottages and 1970s houses to hillside builds and newer subdivisions, and low ground near the river deserves a careful look at drainage. Mark heads southwest from Hendersonville to Kingston Springs.
Mark Schumacher, owner of SP&D, performs every Kingston Springs inspection himself. He carries Tennessee Home Inspector License #1374 and the InterNACHI Certified Professional Inspector designation, and he has more than 1,500 inspections across ten-plus years. That follows over 40 years of construction in more than 40 states for clients like Ralph Lauren Polo and the PGA Tour. A one-home-per-day schedule lets him take his time with sloped foundations, basements and the moisture that river towns invite.
Kingston Springs buyers want honest answers and an inspector they can call back. Your qualifying Kingston Springs inspection includes both a 90-day home warranty and a 5-year roof leak warranty, and veterans, teachers and first responders save on the fee.

"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!"
