Just up Highway 31W from Goodlettsville, Millersville mixes quiet subdivisions with wooded lots and open land — and its home buyers get Mark Schumacher's full attention.
Millersville calls itself Tennessee's best kept secret, and the description fits a city of about 6,300 people that straddles the Sumner and Robertson County line roughly 15 miles north of downtown Nashville. Highway 31W, the old Louisville Highway, runs through the middle of town, while side roads lead to established neighborhoods, larger wooded lots and pockets of farmland. You'll find split-levels and brick ranches from the decades when Millersville first grew, along with newer homes on the open ground nearby. Rural parcels may rely on wells or septic systems where present, which adds a few items to the checklist. Since Hendersonville is only a short drive away, Millersville is practically next door for SP&D.
Every home gets inspected by the same person: owner Mark Schumacher, licensed in Tennessee under #1374 and certified by InterNACHI as a CPI. His career started on job sites, where he spent more than 40 years building in over 40 states for clients that included Jack Nicklaus and the PGA Tour. Mark has completed upward of 1,500 inspections and caps his calendar at one a day, which leaves room to look closely at the roofs, crawl spaces and drainage paths that matter most on Millersville properties.
People here appreciate an inspector who explains things plainly and still answers questions after the report arrives. Qualifying inspections carry a 90-day home warranty and a 5-year roof leak warranty, and veterans, teachers and first responders receive a discount. Ready to get on the calendar?

"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!"
