James’ professional journey started in 1998 working in construction.

With James, you are assured of a professional that works in your best interests. He has spent time as a general contractor, master carpenter and HVAC technician and has the skills as well as the practical experience to provide clients with a thorough property inspection that goes beyond identifying surface level problems.
Serving in his Founder/Owner capacity at Home & Commercial Inspections LLC, James leads a team of industry professionals, all of whom are well versed in areas of residential and commercial construction. The team of experts can assess your dream investment and present you with straightforward information. Not limiting their services to making recommendations for repairs that should be completed prior to residential or commercial purchase, they take the extra initiative to outline the repairs your property is likely to need over the next few years, that way clients can always avoid any surprises and know exactly what to expect.
Cognizant to the fact that purchasing a residential or commercial property is one of the biggest investments one can make, that it can take a lifetime to pay off a mortgage, and that structural repairs can easily cost several months of wages; no one should have to be stuck with a property that is both expensive to pay for and beyond their means to repair. This is James’ motivation towards ensuring that clients have all the right information before making the decision to purchase a home or commercial property.
