Welcome to Checkmate Home Inspection.

Meet Jeff.

Although I spent 36 years as a middle school math and technology teacher, I spent every summer working.   Most of my initial work was building and painting.

After a number of years I started moving inside and rehabbing bathrooms, kitchens and basements.  I first received my home inspection license in 2005 and also spent 3 years building a second and third floor on my own home, doubling its size.

After retiring from teaching, I went to work for Habitat for Humanity building houses. I was a project manager overseeing the building of an entire house and instructing the volunteers.

Aside from home inspection, I am also working as a real estate investor with my son Scot, purchasing dilapidated old homes, rehabbing them, and providing upscale, affordable living. I am actively involved in the actual construction and rehab process.

I have done a lot of work with plumbing, electrical, drywall, framing, tile work, HVAC, etc.   I have done all aspects of building a home.

My wife and I house people from around the world as they attend international church conferences, as well as aspiring musicians while on the road. I also enjoy collecting chess sets (hence the name 'Checkmate Home Inspection').
