Why did Nate decide to become a Home Inspector?

“Working as a low voltage installer and manager for over a decade I fell in love with the building process. Between doing retrofit installations for older homes or pre-wiring new construction homes I was able to see how the way we build homes has evolved over the last century and I knew I wanted to be involved in helping educate homeowners about their houses and home maintenance.”
