Get to Know me

Hi, my name is Jon Teal. I would like to let you know about the journey that has led me to become a Certified Professional Home Inspector. I've been on construction sites since I was 13 years old helping my dad clean up the job sites, and watching him build homes. I studied Construction Management at John A Logan College. I've worked in many different trades of construction including framing, roofing, siding, finishing, insulation, and energy efficiency. After working in thousands of attics and crawlspaces, I have realized that there are countless ways to do things the wrong way when it comes to construction. I was also an Army Infantry Scout. My job was to observe and report. All of these experiences have led me to gain the knowledge to pursue my true passion. That is observing and reporting the deficiencies of the home you're interested in purchasing. Since that realization, I have become certified through not one but two associations. Those associations are Inspector Certification Associates and the Internachi Association. Let me be your comforting guide in making sure the home you're purchasing is the right choice.
