What is Home Inspection?

My name is Gordon Jones, owner of G I JONES HOME INSPECTION.  I am a licensed Professional Real Estate Inspector with the state of Texas.  The licensing agency is the Texas Real Estate Commission and my license number is 23299.  I am a member of the International Association of Certified Home Inspectors.  Feel free to check on my license status by clicking here or my InterNACHI status by clicking here.
A home inspection is a service I provide that examines the systems and components of a house or structure to provide information to the client on its status.  In other words I tell people if the house is safe and in working order.

I am a veteran of Iraq and Afghanistan.  I served in the Marine Corps Infantry, as a rifleman.  In the Marines we are taught to ensure our safety in a variety of different environments.  As a home inspector safety is my number one concern, my safety and the safety of the home I am inspecting.  I want you to feel safe and secure in your future house and will do that to the best of my ability.  Another thing I learned in the Marine Corps was how to inspect.  Marines inspect everything: uniforms, rifles, barracks rooms, vehicles, you name it we had an inspection for it.  And of course if it was going to be inspected by a higher up, everyone in between you and them had to inspect it first.  

I grew up in an Air Force family.  Both of my parents are retired Air Force, and I was born on Lackland AFB in San Antonio, Texas.  I spent most of my youth in Hawaii, but still managed to live all over the country.  I have lived in just about every imaginable type of dwelling.  From Humvees and mud huts overseas to high rise apartments in Hawaii; and everything in between.  I think the only thing I haven't lived in is a tree house.

I hope these few words about myself have helped assure you of my ability to perform a quality inspection, and I would very much like to be your home inspector.​

I am also a proud parent of three spoiled dogs: my chocolate lab Kokoleka, (that's Hawaiian for chocolate), our husky rescue Stormie, and our newest addition Brandy, a German shepherd.
