Description
ASHI Certified Inspector - Serving home buyers, home sellers and home owners in Delaware County, Chester County, Montgomery County, Bucks County and Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

About Alan:

In middle age, I discovered what I wanted to be when I grow up - a home inspector. I had enjoyed a rich and varied career track leading up to that moment, starting as a carpenter contractor in 1971. I was a sub-contractor for custom residential construction, renovation and addition and a prime contractor for renovation and addition projects. In the 80's, I stopped swinging a hammer and assumed control of my family's retail business. Since then, I've been privileged to serve as chief of staff and senior advisor to two members of the Pennsylvania Senate and to guide two non-profit organizations, as executive director, through critical periods of growth and adjustment. As a home inspector, I have returned to my roots, so to speak, in residential construction.

Testimonials

Alan,  
Thanks again so much! I'm still feeling a little overwhelmed, but everything is written very clearly so I can sit down and figure it all out.  You did a great job, very thorough and I appreciated the fresh pair of eyes to see all the little things I missed on my tours of the house!!   Thanks for doing a great job!

Thanks for your help today during the inspection.  We felt very informed about the house and learned quite a bit from you.  (The report looks very nice, by the way.)  We will be in touch if we have any questions, and will definitely recommend you to friends/relatives should they be in the need of a home inspector.
