Jay Markanich’s Experience

Principal

Jay Markanich Real Estate Inspections, LLC

(Real Estate industry)

April 1981 — Present (28 years 4 months)

Bilingual in English and Spanish, Jay has been a licensed contractor and certified home inspector since 1981. He has been doing inspections full time since 1987. His computerized reports automatically cross reference into his 405 page homeowner manual entitled "Your House, Your Home." His report and book are both very comprehensive and understandable.

Offering a variety of services to clients, Jay is able to provide both experience and product diversity to his inspection business. In addition to complete home inspection services, he does environmental testing for lead and radon, thermal-infrared imaging, home energy-use audits and certified mold inspections.

Jay offers his years of experience, coupled with post-graduate education and a practiced use of English and Spanish, to be able to identify and explain the conditions of a home completely to home buyers and investors. His gentle sense of humor makes the buying experience even more enjoyable.
