Meet Josh Starkey – Your Trusted Property Inspector in Western North Carolina

Hello, I’m Josh Starkey, the proud founder and lead inspector of Western North Carolina Property Inspections LLC.I bring over a decade of experience in the construction and inspection industries, having worked on a wide range of projects across the United States. My professional journey has taken me from inspecting and demolishing buildings contaminated with explosives to overseeing Department of Defense (DOD) projects and working on military industrial complexes. Later, I transitioned into residential and commercial remodeling, gaining a well-rounded expertise that enables me to approach every inspection with a thorough, insightful perspective.

From a young age, I’ve been passionate about understanding how buildings are built to last. I believe that every structure has a story to tell, and my investigative approach allows me to uncover that story. I’ve worked through every phase of construction, which gives me a deep understanding of structural integrity, safety compliance, and the long-term durability of various building systems. This knowledge helps me identify potential issues that other inspectors may overlook, ensuring a comprehensive evaluation of each property.

As a licensed septic installer and inspector with certifications in mold inspections, radon testing, sewer scope, and more, I’m fully equipped to offer a wide array of property inspection services. My commitment to continuous education drives me to stay up to date on the latest industry trends, best practices, and safety standards. I’m constantly working to improve my skills, so my clients can trust that they’re receiving the most reliable, thorough, and accurate inspection reports available.

At Western North Carolina Property Inspections LLC, I proudly serve the communities of Brevard, Hendersonville, Asheville, and the surrounding areas of Western North Carolina. Whether you’re buying, selling, or maintaining a property, my goal is to ensure you have all the information you need to make the most informed decision possible. I specialize in home inspections, commercial property inspections, septic system inspections, and mold testing, offering a broad range of services that cater to the diverse needs of homeowners, real estate investors, and business owners in our region.

When I conduct an inspection, I go beyond just looking at the physical aspects of the property. I take the time to understand the history of the building, the challenges the original builders faced, and how the structure has withstood the test of time. Every property has its unique characteristics, and I believe it’s crucial to view each inspection from both a localized and big-picture perspective. This allows me to identify potential problem areas that may not be immediately obvious, giving you a comprehensive understanding of the property’s condition.

Whether I’m inspecting a residential home, a commercial property, or a septic system, I use my construction experience to provide you with clear, actionable insights. I’ll highlight any issues that may require attention, explain the potential consequences of those issues, and provide recommendations for addressing them. My detailed, honest inspection reports are designed to help you understand the condition of the property, so you can make decisions with confidence.

I’m also committed to offering personalized service and open communication throughout the inspection process. From the moment you contact me to the final delivery of your report, I’m here to answer your questions, address any concerns, and ensure that you feel supported every step of the way.

Balancing my professional career with family life, I’m a proud husband and father to a young son. I strive to lead by example, instilling a strong work ethic in the next generation while maintaining a healthy work-life balance. I believe that the same attention to detail, dedication, and integrity that I bring to my work should be reflected in how I approach life outside of work as well.

At Western North Carolina Property Inspections LLC, my mission is simple: to provide thorough, reliable, and transparent inspections for every client. Whether you’re a homebuyer, real estate investor, or business owner, I’m here to ensure that you receive the highest quality service backed by years of real-world experience and a dedication to the communities we serve.
