Get to know your Home Inspector

We are a privately-held independent home inspection company with offices located in Maysville, Georgia and Gainesville, Georgia. We are a Christian-dedicated, family-oriented company devoted to treating others as well as we would have others treat us. All inspections are performed by David Williams, who has an extensive background in residential and light commercial construction; in real estate sales and appraisal; and as an electrical and HVAC service technician and installer. David also holds a U.S. Patent #6,292,828 on a multimedia and surveillance operating system dating back to 1994. 

David uses HomeGauge mobile Inspection Report software to collate and deliver next-day inspection reports to customers via the HomeGauge website. The HG website automatically sends a link and a password to the customer’s email address when we upload the final inspection report for viewing and printing by the customer. An exclusive feature of the HomeGauge software is that it provides an opportunity for the customer to email photos and descriptions of material defects directly from the report to the seller or the builder, to expedite repairs or sales concessions.

David uses Flir thermal imaging cameras and moisture detection equipment to detect water leaks and insulation inefficiencies. He also uses TIF combustible gas leak detection equipment, as well as Klein electrical testers to detect electrical anomalies.

David grew up around home and apartment construction, working with his father during the summers starting at the age of 11. David has been performing home inspections since 1989 when he was primarily a state-certified residential, land, and commercial Real Estate Appraiser in the state of Georgia. He has owned small handyman/home and business repair service companies in DeKalb and Fulton County in the 1980s and in Walton County and Gwinnett County during the 2005-2020 period.

David is now accredited as a Certified Professional Inspector (#18092410) by InterNACHI, the world’s largest certification authority for home inspectors. David has also gained certifications from the Certified Commercial Property Inspectors Association to perform inspections on commercial buildings. He has also attained the designation of FAA-licensed Part 107 UAV (drone) pilot, in order to perform aerial inspections of roofs, land, towers, and other larger structures.

NACHI'S BUYBACK PROGRAM

Get guaranteed results from your home inspectors

A few years ago, NACHI’s founder, top guru, and chief bottle-washer Nick Gromicko came up with the brilliant idea of offering to buy back homes from anyone who felt that they had been short-changed by one of NACHI’s home inspectors during the home inspection process.

Mr. Gromicko still gets a lot of derision and name-calling for his Home Buyback Program from within the organization- but fundamentally the idea has been wildly successful. There have been very few home buybacks because NACHI home inspectors are driven to report every material defect that should be reported.

Simply put: If one of NACHI’s home inspectors misses any material defect that he or she should have included in the report, and the homebuyer discovers the defect within 90 days after the home’s closing, NACHI will purchase the home at the SAME PRICE THE BUYER PAID FOR THE HOME.

There are certain stipulations, most notably that the home had to be listed for sale by a licensed real estate broker; and that the home must be registered in the Home Buyback Program by the NACHI home inspector within 30 days after the date of the inspection.
