After teaching residential building inspections (Home Inspections) since 1996 and watching many go through the course with a lot of potential, Rick thought “What if someone were to recruit the best of these students and form a company?”. That is what
G.T. Inspections is about,
it’s not a franchise but a company owned by its members.
G.T.
Inspections
has one goal and that is, to have the best, well educated building inspectors on the market. There are presently 8 people in the company with 6 active inspectors and within five years, the company expects to have 25 inspectors and
G.T. Inspections will become
known as the one stop shop in the industry.
Whether it’s for Residential Building Inspections, Commercial Inspections, Consultation, Air Quality Testing or Asbestos Testing,
G.T. Inspections is the place to call. We have inspectors working 7 days a week and during the summer time we can even inspect in the evening if you want.
