PEACE OF MIND FOR YOUR HOME INVESTMENT
WHO AM I
I was initiated into the building industry making and installing windows.
To satisfy my passion for woodworking, I transitioned to framing houses.
I continued to work for general contractors remodeling homes, learning a variety of skills including roofing, siding, tile work, plumbing and electrical.
My fascination with how complex systems function led me to a public utility where I worked more than 20 years as a journey-level electrician.
My broad skill set, natural eye for detail and endless curiosity helped me to excel in each of these roles and now inspires my work as a home inspector.
Your home is an investment. Whether buying, selling or maintaining your home, get the experienced inspection you deserve with Reality Home Inspection.

Kathleen is amazing - she has come out to our house twice - once to do an inspection of our ADU and once for our house. She is an expert, competent and communicates well. She is particularly skilled at assessing water damage issues. We knew there was a problem with our ADU but didn't know how to identify what it was. Kathleen gave us a thorough report which provided us direction as to what repair to prioritize and make.

Kathleen inspected two homes we were hoping to buy and we are exceptionally impressed with her in both cases. She was prompt and responsive, even coming out literally last minute to inspect a home we needed to put an offer on quickly. She was thorough and provided with clear, easy to understand reports that have been quite helpful to us as new home owners. She is very knowledgeable and easy to work with. We would highly recommend her to anyone needing a home inspection!
