Spearheaded By Brian Cornwell + Backed by REAL experienced past builders, professional tradespeople and construction genius inspectors.

Our training, hiring and education standards are 1000x higher: NEVER online certificate earners and armchair experts like 99% of the industry. (No seriously, ask your inspector if they’ve ever built their own home, crickets… Ask for the permit with the name on it, watch them panic.) We have permits in our own name, we actually lift hammers, perform building problem solving and forensics, repair structures, perform trades, and have mastered all things construction. Brian Cornwell personally mentors every single Building Supporters’ high-performance inspector.

Certifications + Memberships: Dual InterNACHI + CCPIA certified.

Peace of mind at absolutely NO ADDITIONAL COST to you. We use a portion of every inspection dollar we make to secure our clients the some of the BEST insurance, guarantees and warranties in the industry. There’s no need to buy anything; we opt into these programs at our own expensive, because we want to give you and your family the best protection possible. (This is what we’d want for our OWN families.)

Full Insured:

Building Supporters carries BOTH Errors and Omissions Insurance and General Liability coverage. Only 5% of inspectors have them because they are expensive. We believe it’s essential to prioritize your protection. Always remember to inquire about the insurance coverage your inspector holds and don’t hesitate to ask to see the insurance binder. We always have our insurance binder on hand, and you will never offend us by requesting to review it.

Fully Guaranteed: 

Here’s our ironclad satisfaction 100/day guarantee, clear and straightforward: “If we fail to deliver the most comprehensive inspection you’ve ever experienced, don’t pay us. No hidden clauses, no fine print. That’s our promise to you. ”

We pay for EXTRA insurance for you:

InterNACHI’s Buy-Back Guarantee: (We’ll Buy Your Home” Guarantee). Not all inspectors can offer this service, as it requires InterNACHI certification plus an advanced CPI designation, which Building Supporters has obtained. You can read full warranty terms here.

InterNACHI’s Inspection Warranty: No deductibles! No limit on appliance ages. 90 days from closing or 120 days from inspection. $3,000 maximum plan aggregate. Up to $2,250 towards mechanical, electrical and plumbing systems, and structural conditions. Up to $1,500 for roof leak or mold removal. You can read full warranty terms here.

Referring Real Estate Agent Protection:

InterNACHI is so sure of its inspectors that it will indemnify any licensed real estate agent in an amount up to $10,000 if a third party successfully sues the agent for negligent referral of an InterNACHI inspector. This protection is offered at no cost to agents who register.

Canceled Escrow Guarantee:

On average, 15% – 20% of escrows are cancelled due to liens, low appraisals, interest rate changes, credit problems, big repairs, unreasonable sellers, or simple changes of heart. Building Supporters helps protect you from paying full price for a second home inspection with a $200 discount off the regular price (view terms here).

Building Supporter’s Honor Guarantee:

A greater sense of respect and integrity. Building Supporters is enrolled in InterNACHI’s $25,000 Honor Guarantee (view terms here) which protects you against personal property loss during an inspection. Plus, every inspector uses padded ladder tops and bottoms to protect hardwood floors and gutters, wears booties to keep your space clean, and uses portable vacuums and protective blankets. In occupied properties, we systematically announce our presence room by room. Non-Marring u-GUARD hand tools guarantees no scratches or cosmetic damage. We also carry small replacement parts for common high-breakage items in the field such as exterior spring-loaded outlet covers, stripped panel screws, etc. We are happy to replace these minor items should they break in the field during testing. Building Supporters aims to leave every home as good as we found it.

Most inspectors today carry a few hundred dollars in basic tools. Building Supporters brings over $100,000 in advanced, calibrated and highly-specialized tools to your property.

Seriously data driven: We invest in better, laboratory-grade high-performance equipment and use over 100+ specialized tools as needed including: Continuous radon monitors, Sound level meters, Voltage, Continuity and Current Testers, Pinless Moisture meters, Anemometers, AFCI/GFCI Testers, Combustible Gas Detectors, Carbon Monoxide Analyzers, Microwave Leak Detectors, IAQ Meters (Dew Point, Wet Bulb/Air Temperature, RH, Formaldehyde, TVOC, Particle +), Smoke pens, Spectoscopes, Bluing/Septic Dye Tests, Ultra Violet UV lights, Water Gauges (Pressure, Flow, GPM + PSI), Digital Angle Finders, and many other tools.

World-class Laboratory partners for sample testing: Water, mold, Asbestos, Lead, Formaldehyde, TVOC, Corrosive Drywall, and much more.
