Two decades before the license
The Builder’s
When you have spent two decades on construction sites, a house stops being a floor plan and becomes a series of systems you can trace with your eyes: how the framing was laid, where the plumbing runs, what the roof was nailed into, and which cuts were taken to save time or money. Chris brings that builder’s eye to every inspection he performs. He has built homes with his own hands, so he knows what good work looks like, and what shortcuts look like when they are hiding in plain sight.
Why the name Rodeo? Because a rodeo is honest work with a clear result: you ride, you finish, and you know exactly how it went. A home inspection should feel the same way. No mystery, no fine print, no pretending. Just a careful, complete look at the house, and a report you can act on.
Every report is written to be read by a home buyer, not a contractor: plain language, real photos, and priorities you can act on. And when you have questions after closing, Chris is still the one who answers them.
- Slow and thorough on every visit, never rushed
- Plain-English reports with photos and priorities
- Honest answers, including the hard ones
- You can follow along and ask anything on inspection day
