ABT Inspections

My name is Michael, owner of ABT Inspections, PLLC. I'm a licensed professional home inspector (PRIN) serving the greater Austin area. I have a Bachelor of Science degree in Construction Technology from Texas State University. My education provides a firm foundation for my inspection business.

In addition, I'm certified by International Code Council (ICC) which is widely recognized by builders, government agencies and third party entities as the single most significant codes and standards credentials that building professionals can attain.In central Texas, termite inspection is seen as an integral part of home inspection, therefore, many of my customers request termite inspection service as well.
