I established Patriot Home Inspections when I learned that a large number of fellow Veterans were buying homes, not knowing what they were buying. These Veterans would approach me, knowing that I have a construction background, with problems that they were having after closing. I then learned that they were receiving sub-par home inspections, and many times paying an overpriced fee. I became certified and now provide my services at a fair price. I believe that the home inspection is a time to educate the buyer so that they have realistic expectations of what they are buying.
