Construction has been my career for over three decades stretching back into my teens. I've worked in all capacities from homebuilding and remodeling to professional project management in both residential and commercial construction with direct supervision of budgets over $100M. My professional experience in estimating and management, as well as experience in pest control provides an unmatched service in knowledge and systems.
I was raised in the construction industry by my father and uncle. After returning from active duty in the U.S. Navy where I worked as an electrician, I co-founded Sterling Builders, LLC with John to craft custom remodeling solutions to client's homes. While we still maintain Sterling Builders, we built Sterling Home Inspection to make up for the shortage of quality home inspectors that lack real construction experience.

Services
This is our most common inspection, which includes all systems of the home (to see how we inspect, check out our video library). We begin on the exterior and cover everything from roof, chimney, siding, windows, doors, grading and drainage, driveways, walkways, decks, electrical, etc. From here, we move to the interior to cover the kitchen, bathrooms, laundry, floors, walls and ceilings, doors, windows, fireplaces, stairs, etc.
Infrared technology allows us to detect moisture behind walls, overheated breakers, and other inspection findings that cannot be seen with the naked eye. Pools are awesome to have, but not awesome to repair. Having this inspected before the purchase ensures that you don't purchase a pool in need of massive repairs.
Hey thanks for stopping by! My name is Spencer Brothers and I am the founder of Sterling Home Inspector, as well as 1 of our 3 owners. For the sake of transparency, I like to be upfront and give you as much about me as I can! If you're interested, keep reading down to the bottom, but if you're not here is the basics: I built Sterling Home Inspection after seeing the poor performance in the inspection industry as I myself was (and am) Realtor.
Unlike many inspectors in the industry, our team has both a long and rich history of residential real estate. We've framed the walls, we've hung the rafters, we've laid the foundations, and we've installed the windows. We don't bring theoretical knowledge to the process, but instead rely on decades of construction experience.
We want to take the burden off of you during the contract to close process! Unlike other Inspectors, we understand your schedule and your concerns. For that reason, we will contact your client for you and schedule the inspection directly with them, checking off this crucial item from your list. You can see for yourself RIGHT HERE.

We are currently under contract for a home and I contacted them on a Saturday. Not only did they respond and schedule the inspection for the following Tuesday before Christmas mind you, but I had the report the same day. I appreciate the Spencer brothers for taking care of my inspection so quickly and they were very thorough. The photos and description of work needed really put my husband and I at ease going into this home.
Thank you again!

I would not recommend Sterling Home Inspection. Spencer was super accommodating to a reschedule and very responsive. The inspector was on time, very thorough, and his report was very very detailed with pictures, recommendations, and findings. While I do trust that the report was fairly comprehensive, their website advertises that they use a drone to view the roof if they can't climb up there. The inspector only used binoculars and wasn't able to view the entirety of the roof.
They also advertise a free re-inspection but ghosted me after I paid for the initial. It's pretty disappointing considering

This was my first experience with a home inspector and Spencer was completely thorough and transparent. He was very responsive and took the time to answer our questions as new home buyers. His report was extremely detailed and he took the time to go over each and every item that was of concern. Highly recommend Sterling Home Inspection!

I used sterling home inspections twice. Each time I was impressed with the professionalism, punctuality and how in depth of an inspection he actually does. Spencer makes you feel comfortable asking questions, he answered every question I had and really seemed happy to do so. I received a detailed inspection report within a few hours. He really seems to do the inspection as if he is buying the home himself.

I am beyond pleased with Sterling! I scheduled the inspection of my new home in minutes - the website was very user friendly, simple and easy to use. They were thorough, professional, affordable and so helpful! The inspection report included pictures so all parties knew exactly what he was referring to. It also included instructions on what to service, a list of contacts to use for the repairs/services needed, and a tool to gauge the life of all appliances/features of the home! Spencer was kind, friendly, and informative! 10/10 will be recommending Spencer and Sterling Home Inspection to all of

Highly recommended. Fast, Reliable and Affordable. My inspection report was highly detailed, thorough, with explanations and recommendations. There are photos as well! Spencer has excellent customer service (he always responds asap) and John did the overall inspection which was very professional. It has definitely helped me out during my home buying experience.
