Nates Construction Services offers Home Inspections! NCS HOME INSPECTIONS

Home inspections are valuable not only for people who are buying or selling a home, but also for homeowners who have lived in their house for many years. A professional inspection can uncover hidden issues such as aging electrical systems, roof damage, plumbing leaks, or safety concerns that may go unnoticed over time. By identifying these problems early, homeowners can plan repairs, maintain their property more effectively, and avoid costly surprises in the future. Regular inspections also help ensure a home remains safe, energy-efficient, and structurally sound, giving long-term residents peace of mind and a clearer understanding of their home’s condition.

Just another day in the office, what would you charge to crawl in here and work on a drain that is full of spaghetti noodles. Really it was full of spaghetti noodles.

The reason for giving my background is because I will be starting to provide home inspections for home buyers. In the past several years the house flipping market especially in this area were there are no building codes has became quite lucrative and I have come across houses that should just be torn down instead of sold. There are a few exceptions were they have been done PROFESSIONALLY but for the most part flipped by people that have zero experience in building/remodeling or have watched YouTube and are now experts. And that takes us to the inspection side of things. You can become an inspector in Missouri with no license or training which is unbelievable. To have your potentially new to you home inspected by(no offense to anyone) college grad with no real world experience in building trades should not be allowed. They are just reading through checklists and taking pictures. Building codes and standards can be a good thing. I recently inspected a home in the area that had been flipped and I feel sorry for who ends up with it, it’s like that old saying lipstick on a pig, wrong in every way, and alot of the younger generation that are buying these houses are getting the raw end if the deal. And something else I don’t understand is that lenders loan money on these dumps that are not worth anywhere close to what they are sold for. So if you want a real world inspection done by someone that has experience in building homes, remodeling, and repairing contact me. I can do a walk through with you after inspection and explain what I find and what it needs to be corrected. Or recommend you find a licensed and insured contractor to do the repair. Sometimes it can be expensive but having it done right the first time will save you grief in the long run. I’m not putting all this out there to rain on anyone’s parade just getting awareness to everyone buying “flipped” houses make sure you know what your spending $100,###’s on before, and you don’t end up with moldy, rotten, termite infested, leaky plumbing, cobbled up shack that you regret in a few months.
Enjoy your day

So when we returned to the U.S the housing and building industry was in a little slump and I needed a job. I thought I would try mining and see how that worked out, well I spent the next 10 years or so working underground and in surface mines. From lead to limestone and a little sand mining yes sand mining. I operated just about every piece of equipment involved as well as drilling and blasting. Along the way I worked for an excavation company which has been one the best companies I’ve worked for located in Bloomsdale,Mo. When I had my fill of mining I was working at DRC and it was a losing battle and I finally realized all the time I put in and knowledge of the building trades I had was my ticket to self employment. So I took the risk and it has been great. I have been able to work for some absolutely great people, a lot of local people I would have never met that were just right down the road. Sometimes the job only takes a few minutes but just being able to help them out is rewarding to me. Although some jobs I’ve taken have led to me less than desirable conditions like crawling under houses and fixing sewer problems (you can’t imagine) or having to army crawl through cat p**p to fix someone’s sink drain that has never been hooked up. But for the most part I can’t complain, I work by myself most of the time unless I get in a bind and then my dad is always there to help, he is now 70 so I may need to look for a younger helper. I also have a friend Lloyd who enjoys working more than anyone I know and helps me out time to time, but he is also in his golden years. That pretty much brings you up to current date and I will be posting again soon. Enjoy your day.

So I wanted to give a little background of my work history for those who don’t know me that well. I grew up in a family that has worked in construction for many generations, so of course me, my dad and my grandfather and many of my uncles and cousins. I used to think when I was younger why in the world am I doing this kind of work, back breaking, strenuous, extreme heat extreme cold, driving hundreds of miles a week to get to work in traffic. Well I have learned a lifetime of knowledge and skill from from those people (thank you dad). I started out as a kid helping my grandpa Boyer aka King Arthur during the summers with handyman work and building homes. When I graduated from high school I made the journey to St. Louis and joined the carpenters union and completed the apprenticeship and went on to journeyman and then foreman at McBride and son Homes. Years later I had an opportunity to take a position at Fred Weber when the Taum Sauk upper reservoir had failed. That was an incredible job to take part in. Later I travelled with a company to the other side of the world (literally) and found out that wasn’t for me. My wife and daughter didn’t seem to mind but I was missing home in a short time. Well this is getting lengthy and my hands are falling asleep from typing on this little keyboard so I will post again soon. Enjoy your day.
