Nolensville more than doubled in size in a decade, yet its historic main road still feels like a village — Mark Schumacher inspects both its old and new homes with the same care.
Local lore says Nolensville exists because of a broken wagon wheel. Revolutionary War veteran William Nolen was traveling through in 1797 when his wheel gave out, and he liked the land along Mill Creek enough to stay. The town first incorporated in 1839 and reincorporated by referendum in 1996. Nineteenth-century homes and storefronts still line Nolensville Road through the historic district, and the Buttercup Festival has been a local tradition since 1915. Growth has been dramatic: the population went from about 5,900 in 2010 to roughly 13,800 in 2020. Home Inspections by SP&D serves Nolensville from Hendersonville, north of Nashville.
SP&D is a one-inspector company, and that inspector is owner Mark Schumacher. He is a Tennessee-licensed home inspector holding License #1374 and an InterNACHI Certified Professional Inspector. He brings more than 40 years of building experience from over 40 states — including projects for Ralph Lauren Polo and the U.S. Military — along with 1,500-plus inspections completed during his ten-plus years in the field.
With so much recent growth, most Nolensville buyers are looking at newer homes, and a new house still benefits from an independent set of eyes. Mark checks roof and window flashing, attic ventilation, insulation coverage, HVAC duct connections and how well the lot has been graded. Homes from the early growth years may be ready for their first roof or HVAC replacement. The older houses along the historic corridor need a different approach, with attention to original framing, older wiring and plumbing, and the crawl spaces underneath.
Mill Creek and its tributaries wind through the Nolensville area, so drainage near the water and in low-lying yards matters. The clay soil common across Williamson County holds water after heavy rains and shrinks during dry stretches, which can lead to settling, cracked slabs and water finding its way into crawl spaces. Spring thunderstorms test roofs and gutters, and summer humidity keeps moisture and mold on the checklist.
Nolensville families appreciate that Mark answers his phone, even on weekends, and takes time to explain what each finding means for them. You also get a 90-day home warranty and a 5-year roof leak warranty with qualifying inspections, plus a discount if you are a veteran, teacher or first responder. Call Mark at 561-301-7571 to book your Nolensville home inspection.

People who've hired Mark across Middle Tennessee talk about his thoroughness and how clearly he explains things. A few of their reviews are below.
"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!"
