Home to Radnor Lake and the Tennessee Governor's Residence, Oak Hill pairs quiet wooded streets with established homes — and Mark Schumacher inspects them one at a time.
Oak Hill incorporated as its own city in 1952, shortly before Nashville and Davidson County merged, and it has kept a residential, tucked-away feel ever since. Most of Radnor Lake State Natural Area lies within its limits, and the Tennessee Governor's Residence sits on Curtiswood Lane. Much of the housing went up in the years after World War II, so buyers frequently find brick ranches and two-story homes from the 1950s and 1960s alongside newer custom houses that replaced older ones. Original systems in these mid-century homes deserve a careful look: older electrical panels, galvanized or cast-iron plumbing, ductwork in crawl spaces and roofs that have been layered or patched. Mature trees add beauty and shade, but they also drop debris into gutters, hold moisture against roofing and send roots toward sewer lines.
Mark Schumacher, the owner of SP&D, inspects every Oak Hill home himself. He is a Tennessee-licensed home inspector, #1374, as well as an InterNACHI Certified Professional Inspector, and his 40-year construction background spans more than 40 states and names like Ralph Lauren Polo and the PGA Tour. After 1,500-plus inspections, he keeps to one appointment per day so nothing about a well-built older house gets overlooked.
People in Oak Hill choose SP&D because Mark is thorough, patient and easy to reach after the inspection is done. Qualifying inspections carry a 90-day home warranty and a 5-year roof leak warranty, and there is a discount for veterans, teachers and first responders. Give Mark a call at 561-301-7571 to plan your Oak Hill inspection.

Reviewers across the Nashville area describe an inspector who takes his time and makes sure they understand the house. Here are some of their comments.
"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!"

What Oak Hill buyers usually want to know before booking an inspection.
Yes. Oak Hill is an easy drive from our Hendersonville home base, and Mark inspects homes there often. Phone 561-301-7571 to set a date.
Mark checks the age and condition of the electrical panel and wiring, the plumbing materials, the HVAC and ductwork, roof layers, and moisture in the crawl space or basement.
Large trees can push roots into older sewer lines. A camera inspection shows the inside of the pipe so you know its condition before you buy.
Oak Hill clients who are veterans, teachers or first responders get a discount. Let Mark know when you call to schedule.
