RPM Construction Technologies

I bought my first home when I was 23 years old. I waived the home inspection because it was new construction and had a warranty. I saved a couple hundred dollars but it turned out to be one of the worst decisions I ever made. I learned from that mistake and I set out to learn everything I could about the construction industry.

We want you to understand the ins and outs of your new home. We schedule time during and after our inspections to walk through the home with you so that we can discuss areas where you might have questions or concerns. Along with your home inspection report, we include recommended maintenance for your home.
