Most inspectors have read the books, taken the courses, and passed the exam. Gus has done all of that—in three different states: New York, Florida, and Tennessee—but what truly sets him apart is that he’s also lived it.

With over three 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, and roofing. As a former state-licensed contractor in both New York and Florida, he’s not only studied how homes are built—he’s built them himself.

This real-world expertise gives Gus the ability to see what others might miss and to understand what truly matters. He doesn’t just point out problems—he puts them into perspective. Gus knows the difference between a mountain and a molehill and communicates findings clearly, calmly, and without unnecessary alarm. His practical knowledge helps homeowners focus on 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 with decades of real-world experience who provides clear objective insights to help you make confident, informed decisions about your home without confusion or stress.
