"I've known Steven Northup for over 10 years. We met when I hired him to build a 400-square-foot porch addition on my home, and that project told me everything I needed to know about the man. His craftsmanship was meticulous, his knowledge of building systems ran deep, and he didn't cut a single corner.
As the owner of Knoxville Appraisal Company, I evaluate properties for a living. I see inspection reports from every inspector in East Tennessee. Steven's reports stand apart because he doesn't just identify problems. He understands why they exist and what they mean, because he's spent 30 years actually building and repairing homes. That's a level of insight you simply can't get from a textbook.
I recommend Steven to every client who asks me for an inspector. He's thorough, honest, and treats every home like it matters, because to the people buying it, it does."
