Forefront Inspections is independently owned and operated here in Hawaii. I have performed over 5,000 property inspections to date with experience in residential building and remodeling. I'm a certified inspector and a proud member of ASHI (American Society of Home Inspectors) and InterNACHI (International Association of Certified Home Inspectors). ASHI and InterNACHI certification requires a combination of education, specialized training, experience, passing a National certification exam, maintaining continuing education credits, and agreeing to abide by a national code of ethics for home inspectors. I'm continually learning the latest code changes, new developments, recalls, and safety announcements in the residential industry. With every inspection that I perform, I do everything in my power to make sure that my clients receive a thorough evaluation of the home.
