History
After working for years honing his skills in carpentry, construction, and home and building inspections, Stan Harbuck recognized that there was a lack of quality, affordable home-based training courses for aspiring home inspectors. He dedicated himself to visually documenting thousands of defects, meticulously capturing and cataloging real-life scenarios encountered in homes and buildings.
After working for years honing his skills in carpentry, construction, and home and building inspections, Stan Harbuck recognized that there was a lack of quality, affordable home-based training courses for aspiring home inspectors. He dedicated himself to visually documenting thousands of defects, meticulously capturing and cataloging real-life scenarios encountered in homes and buildings.
Over the course of many years, he painstakingly organized this wealth of information into comprehensive yet easily understandable training programs. He and his team of professionals began producing home-study courses with extensive use of videos for residential, commercial, new construction, and energy inspections. What better way for students to learn then by seeing the defects they should be able to recognize as an inspector? Now, more than 26 years later, thousands of people across the United States have completed these courses and found successful, fulfilling, and profitable careers in the field of home inspection.
