My Credentials

My company has been built on Honesty, Integrity and Professionalism.  I believe my customers should be as informed as possible, and that they should be made aware of the fact that there is NO LICENSING REQUIRED  in the state of Ohio; making it that much more important to know your home inspector's background.  Most inspectors come from a field work that doesn't necessarily require them to have extensive knowledge of a home's structure, systems and maintenance issues; most commonly these inspectors were Real Estate Agents, Appraisers, Engineers or Architects in there former fields or work.  This certainly does not make someone a bad inspector, but I feel experience in home maintenance, as owner of Brauer Home Services , gives me a different perspective than most.  While most national home inspection organizations have high standards and strict requirements, I believe that there is no substitute for experience.  My certification as a Licensed Residential Building Inspector through the International Code Council is what sets me apart from other inspectors, most home inspectors do not carry this type of licensure.  The following is a list of my accredited affiliations, click for standards and requirements:
