Meet Your Inspector
My name is John and I have built homes from the foundation up, via vocational trade school, and various trades within the home building industry in addition we have done several renovations and have a good understanding of building science. I then took that essential practice and built up my skillset to attain my certification as a InterNACHI home inspector seeing a gap in the Panhandle of Nebraska and surrounding areas and yes we are registered with the State of Nebraska which we would encourage all perspective clients to research and ensure that your potential selection is licensed, and if your in Colorado or Wyoming hey we have you covered too.
Don’t think 308 Home Inspections LLC is a one man shop as my wife Dee runs the office day to day as well as marketing of 308 Home Inspections LLC. allowing me to focus on you the client or potential real estate investor and the residential property your interested in.
We also want you to know that International Home inspectors means we will on your behalf travel to foreign destinations such as Italy, Germany and Costa Rica to name a few remote locations using our InterNACHI home inspections standards of practice so we have you covered for primary, secondary or investment properties.*1)
We are constantly improving our practice exploiting new technologies in an effort to be complete as possible and may include use of drones for roofs especially tile or slate in addition we gain a unique perspective from a birds eye view of property drainage and risks related using the vantage point provided by a drone. We use various cameras and/or scopes to extend our ability to evaluate and see beyond the common generalist in addition we are educated on the use of infrared technology cameras so you can rest assured that our inspections and evaluations go beyond speculation.
As a client you will note the difference as we tag critical shutoffs not just call them out in a report so in the event of an emergency you won’t have to guess where it is and it will be clearly marked well after our inspection is complete. We provide you with a home maintenance manual so when the dust settles and you get time back in your schedule you will have a guide on how to maintain your various home systems in order to extend and maximize your investment.

5 Ways a Home Inspection Can Benefit You
Buying a home is one of the biggest investments you will ever make. Before you buy, you should have a home inspection to avoid potentially costly repairs that would otherwise go undetected until they become even more costly. This is our typical home inspection that catches common defects so you understand the investment you’re making.
Identification of Potential Safety Hazards
A home inspection can reveal potential hazards such as faulty electrical wiring, gas leaks, and structural issues that could pose a danger to the inhabitants of the home.
Detection of Costly Repairs
An inspector can identify issues that could lead to expensive repairs down the line, such as a leaky roof or a malfunctioning HVAC system.
Peace of Mind
Knowing the condition of a home before making a purchase can provide peace of mind and help buyers make a more informed decision.
Negotiation Tool
If issues are identified during an inspection, buyers can use this information to negotiate the price of the home or ask the seller to make repairs.
Condition of the Home
A home inspection can give buyers a comprehensive understanding of the condition of the home, including the condition of major systems such as plumbing, electrical, and HVAC, as well as the overall condition of the home's structure and foundation.
The Best Modern Report in the Industry
While 308 Home Inspections LLC. encourages our clients to walk through the home with us, we understand that you may be too busy, and may not have time to do so.
Regardless of whether or not you attend the inspection, we will compile a comprehensive Spectora report, which includes all of the information you need to determine the condition of the home.
We will deliver our report within 24 hours of the conclusion of your home inspection, so that you can quickly access a full overview of our findings – and discuss them with us and your agent.

Should I attend the inspection?
