Why Experience Matters in a Home Inspector

Buying a home or investing in commercial property is one of the biggest financial decisions most people will ever make. Before you sign on the dotted line, you need to know exactly what you’re buying—and that’s where a home inspector comes in. But not all inspectors bring the same level of expertise to the table.

At Watkins Home Inspections, our difference is experience. With over 35 years in residential and commercial construction and 13 years as a licensed home inspector, we provide insights you won’t find in a basic checklist inspection.

More Than Just a License

Every licensed inspector must meet minimum state requirements. But would you rather trust your largest investment to someone who just passed a test, or to someone who’s spent decades building, remodeling, and inspecting homes and businesses?

As a licensed remodeler and home inspector, I’ve seen homes from the inside out. I know how things should be built, how long materials should last, and the red flags that can signal hidden problems.

Why Experience Makes a Difference

Here’s what 35+ years in construction brings to your inspection:

• Deeper Knowledge of Building Systems From the foundation to the roof, I know how every part of a home should perform—and what can go wrong.

• The Ability to Spot Hidden Issues Some problems are easy to miss if you’ve only read about them in a textbook. Experience lets me see what others might overlook.

• Practical Repair Insight Instead of vague notes, I can give you realistic guidance on what repairs may cost and how urgent they are.

• Commercial Expertise Many inspectors only focus on houses. My background includes commercial construction and inspections, giving business owners peace of mind, too.

Protecting Your Investment

A home inspection isn’t just a formality—it’s a safeguard for your financial future. An experienced inspector can mean the difference between moving into your dream home with confidence or facing thousands of dollars in unexpected repairs.

When you choose Watkins Home Inspections, you’re not just getting a report—you’re getting decades of experience, professional guidance, and peace of mind.
