Spring Hill spans two counties and keeps adding neighborhoods every year — Mark Schumacher helps buyers here see past the fresh paint with one careful inspection a day.
Spring Hill straddles the line between Maury and Williamson counties, about 35 miles south of Nashville. For most of its history it was a quiet farm town, best known for the Battle of Spring Hill on November 29, 1864, the night before the Battle of Franklin. Rippavilla, the 1850s Cheairs family home that served as headquarters for both armies, is now owned by the city. Everything changed when General Motors built its Saturn plant here — today's Spring Hill Manufacturing — and the population has climbed steadily ever since. Home Inspections by SP&D drives down from Hendersonville to serve buyers throughout the city.
When you book SP&D, owner Mark Schumacher is the person who shows up. He carries Tennessee Home Inspector License #1374, holds InterNACHI's Certified Professional Inspector credential, and spent more than 40 years in construction in over 40 states, with clients such as Jack Nicklaus, Tommy Hilfiger and the U.S. Military. He has performed more than 1,500 inspections over 10-plus years.
Much of Spring Hill's housing has gone up within the last few decades, and plenty of it is still being built. Production-built homes can look perfect on move-in day and still hide real defects — shingles nailed too high, gaps in attic insulation, reversed drain slopes or a dryer vent that never reached the outside. Homes built in the early growth years are now old enough to need new roofs, water heaters and HVAC equipment. Mark's 11th-month warranty inspection is especially popular here, giving owners a list to send the builder before coverage ends.
The ground under Spring Hill is typical of Middle Tennessee: limestone bedrock beneath clay soil that moves with wet and dry seasons. That movement can crack slabs and driveways and pull at foundations, so Mark looks for settlement and checks how well each lot drains away from the house. Spring storms bring high winds and heavy rain through Maury and Williamson counties, and humid summers can lead to condensation in attics and crawl spaces.
Spring Hill buyers like that Mark explains everything clearly and stays available after the inspection, including on weekends. Every qualifying inspection is backed by a 90-day home warranty plus a 5-year roof leak warranty, and veterans, teachers and first responders pay a discounted rate. To reserve a date, call Mark at 561-301-7571.

Middle Tennessee buyers say Mark is meticulous, patient with questions and easy to get hold of. Here's a sample of what they've written.
"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!"
