Expertise Built Over Decades
Meet Stephen: 35+ years of construction and technical insight.
A Lifelong Passion for Construction
My journey began at age 14, working hands-on in the family construction business. That early immersion instilled a deep understanding of how structures are built from the ground up.
I spent over 20 years honing my craft, completing a rigorous Carpenter's Union apprenticeship, and mastering both residential and commercial building practices. This isn't just theory—it's decades of practical, on-the-ground experience.
Technical Mastery
Following my construction years, I transitioned into corporate facilities management, overseeing complex, large-scale systems and earning multiple advanced technical licenses.
The Philosophy
"Everything can be fixed."
After years in corporate management, I missed working directly with people. I founded Housestanding Home Inspections to bring my technical expertise directly to homebuyers, helping them navigate one of the most significant investments of their lives.
My goal is to help you understand the true condition of your home so you can make informed decisions with confidence.
InterNACHI Certified
I adhere to a rigorous Standards of Practice and Code of Ethics. My commitment to continuous education ensures that I am always equipped with the latest knowledge and techniques to evaluate your property accurately.
Certified Master Inspector
As a Certified Master Inspector (CMI)®, I have completed over 1,000 fee-paid inspections and/or hours of training and education combined. This is the inspection industry's top professional designation, awarded only to qualifying inspectors who have demonstrated the highest level of expertise and professionalism.
