Who I Am
As the owner of RAM Home Inspections, my goal is to provide potential buyers, sellers, and homeowners with a comprehensive understanding of their property’s structural integrity, safety, and functionality. I am a trained professional who specializes in assessing your home’s major components through non-invasive methods, using specialized tools to help me tell the story of each home I inspect. My detailed reports allow you to make informed decisions about your property, both saving you time and money and granting you peace of mind.
I Love to Tell a Story
All homes tell a story, and each inspection can reveal a unique narrative. Each home, new or old, deserves careful examination to determine the story of the health of a home. Healthy homes mean healthy families. I keep this on the forefront when I approach any new home inspection, paying special attention to each component and system. Communication with the realtor and client is based on observations at the time of the inspection in a clear and easy-to-understand manner. I will help you navigate your report and provide any needed clarification so you have all the information you need to make the most informed decision.
I Value Your Time
Purchasing a home can be a time-sensitive endeavor. That is why I provide same-day reports outlining each strength and deficiency of the home, giving you the answers you need before you make a final decision. I encourage our clients to attend the inspection so that everyone involved are on the same page, well-informed, and free to ask questions on-site. I gladly welcome calls from clients any time after the inspection and offer online payments for your convenience. I offer evening and weekend appointments. And, I use state-of-the-art software from Spectora that makes reports easy to read, simple to navigate, and provides tools for buyers and agents to request repairs in a way that makes communication clear and saves time.

Frequently Asked Questions
Buying or selling a home can be a stressful experience, but I’m here to ensure you know what to expect during your home inspection.
A home inspection includes checking for any structural issues such as foundation cracks, roof leaks, plumbing issues, electrical wiring, heating/cooling systems, insulation, windows, doors, chimneys, etc. Depending on how big the property is, a home inspection typically takes 2-3 hours.
Ensure all inspection points are free from clutter, including any closets that might lead to a crawlspace or attic, and clearing some space around your home’s perimeter. It’s also important to check the functionality of all built-in appliances, electric, and gas. If you don’t plan to attend the inspection, make sure I have access to the home, and all pets are properly contained or moved.
A home doesn’t pass or fail an inspection. Instead, a home inspection is a thorough audit of your home’s components. In most cases, there will be concerns marked on your home inspection report, but these are strictly informative.
While you can legally skip a home inspection in many cases, doing so could mean you may end up buying a home that has major issues that need to be fixed.
While a home inspector may recommend some minor repairs, they are not qualified to make major repairs. I can provide information about what needs to be repaired — and it might be helpful to know that information — but the decision to actually do the work lies solely with the homeowner. Not only does this give you the freedom to choose your contractors, but it also helps prevent a conflict of interest.
A home inspection can affect appraisals for two reasons: 1) The inspector may find something wrong with the property that would lower the value of the home, 2) The inspector may find things that need repair which could increase the value of the home. If the inspection finds issues that require repairs, then the seller has to decide whether they want to fix them themselves, or hire someone else to do it. If the buyer wants to purchase the home, he/she must be willing to pay for those repairs.
