Why Choose TLC Home Inspections LLC
Real-World Knowledge, Real Peace of Mind
Most inspectors have read the books, taken the courses, and passed the exam. Gus has done all of that—in three different states—but what truly sets him apart is that he’s also lived it.
With over 3 decades of hands-on experience in construction and remodeling, Gus has built, installed, repaired, and renovated nearly every system and component in a home—from foundations and framing to kitchens, baths, roofing, and everything in between. This real-world expertise gives him the ability to see things other inspectors might miss and to know what truly matters.
Gus doesn’t just point out problems—he puts them into perspective. He understands the difference between a mountain and a molehill and communicates issues clearly, calmly, and without unnecessary alarm. His practical knowledge helps customers know what’s urgent, what’s manageable, and what’s simply cosmetic.
At TLC, you don’t just get a home inspector—you get a trusted advisor. Gus provides clear, objective insights so you can make confident, informed decisions about your home without confusion or stress.
