Prior to opening Sherman Home Inspection Services, Ken Sherman spent 28 years working for a Fortune 500 Computer Services company in both technical and sales leadership roles. Before that he was a teacher for 11 years. Throughout both those careers he developed and maintained both a strong interest and skills in all aspects of home systems, components and repair. He has owned 2 homes during this time, completely rehabbing and adding 3 rooms to his first home and making major modifications to his second home. In addition, he ran a successful Handyman business (on the side) during much of this time. He is very detail oriented and has significant knowledge and experience in all areas of household systems and components.
Throughout his business and teaching careers and as the owner of Sherman Home Inspection Services, Ken has focused on providing excellent service while educating his "client". This commitment to the client has always been a part of his guiding principles and success. It is also the foundation of Sherman Home Inspection Services.

Sherman Home Inspection Services, LLC's primary focus is the Residential Home Inspection.
Because of Ken's sales and marketing background he spends a lot of time promoting the idea of incorporating a sellers inspection into the sales package as both a sales/marketing tool and a means of disclosure. (See the pre-listing inspection below).
Our home inspections typically start with the exterior of the property and end in the attic and crawlspace, if applicable. The entire home is inspected including the plumbing, electrical, heating and cooling .
We realize that not everyone has the same inspection needs, so we offer a portfolio of inspection types aimed at meeting the specific requirements of each of our clients. Not a perfect fit? We will work with you to tailor any of our offerings as you require.Home Inspection Services:

Pre-Listing Sellers Inspection - For the pro-active Seller. A review of your existing home, which can help you sell it easier and faster, and more profitably by addressing any issues on the front end, rather than in the negotiation process.
