Hi, I’m Alex, a certified home inspector and licensed Professional Engineer

In 2011, a natural distaster changed my life forever. Today, I help homeowners understand where they live, why the structure in which they call “home” is built the way it is, and why such stringent rules and codes are in place and enforced. I help bring peace-of-mind to each homeowner I work with so they can sleep soundly in a structure that they trust will keep them and their loved ones safe.

As first time homebuyers, Alex demystified the home inspection process through his knowledge and professionalism.

He was incredibly thorough, and he pointed out many easy actions that we could take to prevent and maintain different home components. Alex took the time to share his opinion on triaging future repairs in terms of priority, budget, and logistics that we should begin preparing for. Alex also was able to explain complicated concepts in an easy to understand manner. We would absolutely choose Choice Home Inspections again and again!

I’m a local realtor and highly recommend using Choice Home Inspections to all of my clients.

Alex has done multiple inspections for me and my clients. He is very thorough and goes above and beyond making sure my clients and myself are informed and answer any and all questions that we may have. I will continue to use Alex in the future!

Alex was fantastic to work with. He went through the home meticulously and took the time to figure out some oddities with me so I knew what I was getting into.

The report he provides is fantastic and outlines in detail all of the potential issues with the home. I’d work with him again and will definitely be suggesting him to any friends who need a home inspection.
