Solid home inspectors usually become so by accident and Ross is no different. A lifelong Chicagoan, his journey started in the late 90’s working for a master carpenter and skilled general contractor in South Carolina before returning to Chicago in 1999. Since that time, he's renovated nearly 20 homes before helping build his own in 2005. Along the way, he's completed curricula through RESNET, Building Performance Institute, and National Comfort Institute (HVAC); become a Level 1 Thermographer, a HAAG certified residential and commercial roof consultant, DCW Engineering commercial inspector, Roof Consultants Institute, voting member of the American Society for Testing & Materials, and a panelist for Chicago Bungalow Association; appeared on the Science Channel's Strip the City, WBBM Radio, and WGN News; and given numerous moisture intrusion and HOA presentations locally. He's performed well over 5,000 inspections since 2007 and helps keep the CBI team as sharp as possible.
