Not all home inspectors are created equal.
North Carolina licensed home inspectors must follow a minimum set of requirements while performing an inspection. Stephen believes that going above and beyond is what makes him different from many other inspectors.
As a Licensed Residential Contractor with over 13 years experience, Stephen was recognized for his knowledge, professionalism, customer service, honesty and integrity.
Stephen played soccer and received his B.S.B.A. in Finance from the University of West Florida. He and his family reside in Youngsville, NC. They enjoy traveling, hiking, playing soccer and their Golden Retriever, Ches.
Teamwork makes the dream work.
All licensed home inspectors in North Carolina must follow the strict Standards of Practice required by the North Carolina Home Inspection Licensure Board. While these guidelines provide a great foundation for home inspectors to follow, Pait Home Inspections of North Carolina, LLC. believes in going above and beyond the minimum requirements to ensure our customers receive the most comprehensive information about their home.
