Twenty One Years Experience Working For You
Company President, Phil Henderson , a Certified Master Inspector® and BPI - Building Analyst Professional began as one of this area's first private home inspectors in 1989. Phil is also a state licensed home inspector and ICC Certified Housing and Preservation Inspector. He is qualified to give a professional opinion on remedial work, something most inspectors will defer to a third party. Phil was the first private inspector in the Knoxville area to offer computer generated reports, and he is also the first to offer advanced infrared inspections and full motion interactive video inspection reports. He has written and produced several Homes2Pick® "How To Video's" for homeowners and sellers.
Over the past 20 years Phil has expanded Tennessee Building Inspections into a multiple service company that includes home testing, consulting and information services. We now provide services to home buyers, sellers, mortgage and insurance companies, and community rehabilitation programs. Phil has done thousands of new construction inspections and easement reports for national mortgage companies like Associates Finance and GMAC. He has done FHA and Rural Development inspections that require strict compliance with HUD guidelines for local banks and mortgage services. Phil has extensive training and experience with older homes and structures. He participates in education programs in the real estate industry, and continues to update the company with new technology for better service and results to his clients.
The high resolution infrared camera has added a higher degree of certainty and service that is unmatched in East Tennessee. Phil is Infrared Certified® and ITC trained on the FLIR thermal imaging camera. We have performed hundreds of inspections with this device ranging from high end home and commercial inspections to insurance and damage estimating. (See our technology page)
