10 Years as a Director of Maintenance
Before becoming a certified home inspector, Don Yates worked as a Director of Maintenance in healthcare facilities. This position required a thorough understanding of building safety and strong attention to detail. Don was already completing inspections during this part of his career, checking the buildings he worked in for issues with wiring, plumbing, electrical circuits, sewers, heating systems, and foundations. This experience also required him to understand building code, as he oversaw installation projects and had to keep up-to-date with safety regulations and building plans. As a home inspector, Don calls upon this experience to offer detail-oriented services that leave his customers feeling safe and assured.
