Home Inspections by SP&D is based just up Gallatin Pike in Hendersonville, so Madison is close to home — and Mark Schumacher inspects every house here with the same care he gives his own.
Madison grew up around a railroad stop eight miles north of downtown, opened a post office in 1857 and became part of Metro Nashville-Davidson County with consolidation in 1963. Today it runs from Briley Parkway up to Rivergate and from Dickerson Road east to the Cumberland River, with Gallatin Pike as its main street. The restored Amqui Station, which Johnny Cash once moved to his own property before it came back to Madison, now serves as a museum and visitor center, and country singer Jim Reeves made his home here. Home Inspections by SP&D is based just up the road in Hendersonville, so Mark knows these streets well. He sees postwar brick ranches over crawl spaces, older split-levels, apartments, and new townhomes and infill houses going up on subdivided lots. Many neighbors also remember the December 2023 tornado that hit Madison hard, and Mark looks carefully at the roofing, siding and framing repairs that followed.
Mark Schumacher performs every inspection himself, backed by Tennessee Home Inspector License #1374 and his InterNACHI Certified Professional Inspector credential. He came to inspecting after four decades in construction across more than 40 states, building for names like the PGA Tour, Ralph Lauren Polo and the U.S. Military, and he has since walked through more than 1,500 homes. Because he books a single inspection each day, a Madison ranch gets the slow crawl space check and attic look it deserves.
Hiring a hometown inspector means you can actually reach him, weekends included, when questions come up after the report. Qualifying inspections come with a 90-day home warranty and a 5-year roof leak warranty, and veterans, teachers and first responders save on every booking. Call Mark at 561-301-7571 to set a date.

"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!"
