“I’m Howard Burch, a Certified Master Inspector with over a decade of hands-on experience in the construction industry. My journey began with a deep commitment to service as a proud member of the United States Air Force, where I learned the discipline and resilience that shaped my career. From there, I worked my way through the ranks in construction—starting as a foreman, then becoming a superintendent, and ultimately a project manager overseeing major projects for clients across Florida.
In 2022, I took a bold step forward and founded the Orlando InterNACHI Chapter, a milestone that reflects my passion for elevating the home inspection industry. I’m also a proud member of InterNACHI and FABI (Florida Association of Building Inspectors), two organizations that embody excellence and professionalism in our field.
Here’s the truth: knowledge is power. I believe that education and continuous growth are the keys to serving my clients at the highest level. By staying ahead of the curve and embracing innovation, I don’t just inspect homes—I provide peace of mind and long-term support. My mission is to empower every client with clarity, confidence, and solutions that extend far beyond the inspection. Together, we’re building a foundation for your future.”

Client Services
This allows clients who can’t be present during the inspection to still fully understand the issues in the home. It adds transparency and peace of mind, making the inspection process more accessible and easier to comprehend.
The opportunity for a follow-up Zoom consultation allows clients to ask questions, clarify doubts, and understand the findings in greater detail, ensuring they make informed decisions about the home purchase.
A report that not only identifies issues but also provides solutions is extremely valuable for buyers. It gives them clear next steps, reducing uncertainty and helping them feel more confident in their decision-making.
Access to a trusted network of contractors, recommended by other clients, is a major benefit. It provides buyers with reliable professionals for any necessary repairs or future improvements, ensuring they aren’t left searching for trusted help.
If a buyer is purchasing a new build or a historic home, having an inspector with specialized knowledge of those types of properties is critical. This ensures that potential issues unique to those homes are identified early.

Our inspections are of the highest quality, and we go above and beyond to build lasting relationships with our clients and their family. We believe that you should always feel informed and confident in your decisions, and we work tirelessly to ensure that you do.
