Over 30 Years of Home Building, Energy, and Inspection Knowledge
Homebuilding and inspecting go hand in hand, which is what makes Jan such a great home inspector. He has worked in the home building industry for over 30 years. His experience began in high school, when he started framing houses. Eventually, he moved on to work in management for several large homebuilding companies throughout Texas and California. In 1997, he started his own Austin-based company called Central City Builders. During that time, he built custom and mixed-use homes for his clients. He puts all of this knowledge and experience to use for his clients, not just pointing out the issues in the home but also helping buyers understand how to address these issues in a way that saves them money and stress.
