Superior Home Inspections in North Central West Virginia

Experience Counts 35 years of experience in Contracting and Real Estate

As a former Contractor, Realtor, and Property Investor, I founded the Idea of ZenSpect a decade ago noticing there was a shortage of experienced Home Inspection Services in the area.

I have extensive experience in property restoration and renovation. I’ve also invested in historic commercial properties with involvement in small town revitalization projects. More recently, I’ve rehabbed seasonal and recreational properties in both West Virginia and Florida for resale.

As a licensed home Inspector, I am certified by the West Virginia Fire Marshall’s Office, the West Virginia Association of Home Inspectors (WVAHI), Inspector Certification Associates (ICA), Home Inspector Training Institute (HITTI), and an associate member of the West Virginia Board of Realtors (Weston, Buckhannon).

ZenSpect aims to live up to its namesake by making it as easy as possible to navigate the most stressful part of purchasing a home, and to empower my clients to move forward with confidence and clarity.

Residential Inspections

Buying a home is one of the biggest investments you will ever make. Before you buy, you should have a home inspection to avoid potentially costly repairs that would otherwise go undetected until they become even more costly. This is our typical home inspection that catches common defects so you understand the investment you’re making.

The Best Modern Report in the INdustry

Spectora reports for homebuyers, seller, and agents can be viewed on any device.

While ZenSpect Home Inspections LLC encourages our clients to walk through the home with us, we understand that you may be too busy, and may not have time to do so.

Regardless of whether or not you attend the inspection, we will compile a comprehensive Spectora report, which includes all of the information you need to determine the condition of the home.

We will deliver our reports within 24 hours of the conclusion of our home inspections, so that you can quickly access a full overview of our findings – and discuss them with us and your agent.

Frequently Asked Questions

A home inspection is an objective visual examination of the physical structure and systems of a house, from the roof to the foundation. Home inspections are designed to protect the buyer, by revealing problems they might not have noticed otherwise.

The cost will vary based on the square footage of the home, the age of the home, and location of the home. Call, text, or email us for a quote today!

Home inspections generally take 2 to 4 hours to complete. The duration of a home inspection depends on many factors such as the size of the home, the condition of the home, and the ability to access certain areas of the home (roof, crawl space, attic, etc.).

Although it is not necessary, we do recommend that you attend the inspection so you can ask questions and learn more about the home. You will learn a lot from the inspection report, but we always encourage you to attend!

It is important to note that no house is perfect. At the end of the home inspection process, we will provide a detailed report that describes the physical condition of the property, with images and videos highlighting what may need repair or replacement. The information provided is to allow a potential buyer to make an informed decision about moving forward with the transaction. It is not pass or fail.
