At the heart of Spraggins Home Inspections, it all comes down to trust and reliability.

Says Andy Spraggins, who owns and operates the burgeoning business. “Our family moved our home inspection business here, to be closer to family and to raise our children in a wholesome environment.”

Andy’s lifetime of working in the building trades is vital to Spraggins Home Inspections’ rapidly expanding caseload.

With years of experience in building and home services, Andy has honed his skills in various areas, from installation and quality control to project management and completion of renovations. Andy’s diverse skill set uniquely equips him to inspect properties in the luxury real estate market, setting him apart from other inspectors.

“We simplify the process so our customers can save time and energy and focus on creating joyful moments in their new homes,” says Andy. “We leverage advanced technology to obtain accurate, actionable data about a home’s condition. Our indoor air quality testing uses the most advanced technology available to tell you exactly what is in the air you breathe.”

“Inspecting houses is a lot of fun and I love the beautiful homes here and helping people get acquainted with their new spaces. It’s very enjoyable working with both buyers and sellers of residential and commercial properties. My wife, Laikin, has been a huge influence on the success of the venture and is the General Manager and Marketing Director.

As you’d expect from such a busy office, Andy offers other skills as well.

“I have several professional credentials which allow me to inspect for the presence of mold and radon. I am an FAA licensed drone pilot which allows me to fly my drone over your roof to inspect hard to reach areas and find things that might otherwise be missed.

“I work in tandem with real estate professionals to ensure that the home inspection process goes smoothly. Potential hurdles to the transaction are quickly identified and communicated. Time is always of the essence, so the little things, like answering the phone and showing up on time are of critical importance. Writing reports with good photography and clear organization also serve to speed up and simplify the process.

“Pre-Listing Home Inspections are just like a buyer’s inspection, but take place before the home is listed. The report is then used to drive repairs and tackle deferred maintenance. This type of investment can significantly speed up the process of marketing and selling a home. Identifying potential problems while there is still time to complete repairs can create substantial homeowner savings as well, while preserving list price.

“I measure my success by the depth of understanding my clients have of their new homes and always make myself available for consultation after an inspection has been performed.”
