See Ralph Brady's CV for details on my experience and training/education.
I am a full-time professional home inspector. The home inspection business gets my full attention.
Whether you are buying or selling a home you should always incorporate the services of a home inspector that is certified by the Inter-National Association of Certified Home Inspectors (InterNACHI). That is why I have worked hard to become a member of InterNACHI and I promise to provide you with excellent service.
As an InterNACHI member I:
Pass InterNACHI's Online Inspector Examination every year.
Follow a strict continuing education policy that requires, among other things, that I receive 24 hours of continuing education each year.
Have completed InterNACHI's ethics "obstacle course" which ensures that I am aware of my ethical duties as a home inspector,.
Have passed InterNACHI's Standards of Practice exam.
Have signed and submitted an affidavit legally agreeing that I have and will continue to adhere to all InterNACHI standards, ethics and education requirements.
Maintain a continuing education log that is verified by NACHI.
Have successfully complete InterNACHI's comprehensive Standards of Practice course and examination, Roofing course and examination, Structural course and examination and Electrical course and examination
Have access to the Inspector's Quarterly so I can keep up-to-date on all the latest issues in the home inspection industry.
Have access to a number of learning tools such as inspection tips and technique illustrations, a library of home inspection books and videos, the industry's largest message board, NACHI's "what's new" publication of recent inspection news, Dear InterNACHI," a detailed advice column, free online courses, quizzes, and exams, and the InterNACHI University,
Have access to a free report review and mentoring service.

I have also personally taken all the photographs used on this web site (many of them while on inspections - there are some beautiful views from Humboldt county roofs) and designed, implemented and maintain this web site. The main motivation for creating this site was to provide information to supplement my reports. My reports have Internet links embedded in the report which point to a page on my web site or another relevant site. I put the same expertise and effort into creating my home inspection reports.
