A small depot town in the Harpeth River valley, just past the Davidson County line — Pegram feels a world away from Nashville, and Mark inspects its homes with the same care he gives his own.
Pegram grew up around a stagecoach stop on the old route between Charlotte and Nashville, and the depot built here in 1898 gave the community its first name, Pegram Station. That depot still stands on Station Drive with a red caboose beside it, and it is the oldest station of its kind in Cheatham County. The Harpeth River winds past town, and wooded ridges rise on either side of the valley. Pegram homes run from older houses near the depot to ranches on country lots and new homes on hillsides, and some outlying properties still use wells and septic. Low ground by the river and steep driveways above it both call for a close look at drainage. Mark drives southwest from Hendersonville, through western Davidson County, to reach Pegram.
Each Pegram inspection is handled start to finish by owner Mark Schumacher. He is licensed in Tennessee as a home inspector (License #1374), holds InterNACHI's Certified Professional Inspector credential and has completed more than 1,500 inspections in over ten years. His 40-plus years in construction took him to more than 40 states for clients that included Jack Nicklaus and Tommy Hilfiger. He keeps to one inspection a day, so an older Pegram home or a new hillside build gets an unhurried, top-to-bottom evaluation.
Pegram buyers count on an inspector who is thorough on site and still answers questions weeks later. A qualifying Pegram inspection also brings a 90-day home warranty plus a 5-year roof leak warranty, and there is a discount for veterans, teachers and first responders. Get on Mark's calendar by calling 561-301-7571 for your Pegram inspection.

"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!"
