Inspector Profile
Meet Andy
When Maine agents have a difficult property, a complicated situation, or a client who needs someone steady in the room — they call Andy Nightingale. With over 20 years of home inspection experience, Andy has seen more houses than most inspectors will see in two careers. Old New England capes, new coastal construction, crawlspaces that tell stories, rooflines that lie — none of it catches him off guard.
Andy is a U.S. Army veteran, and that background is evident in everything he does: methodical, prepared, and completely unflappable under pressure. He doesn’t rush. He doesn’t miss things. And he communicates in a way that leaves clients feeling informed and confident rather than anxious and overwhelmed.
As a Certified Master Inspector® — the inspection industry’s highest professional designation, requiring 1,000+ inspections and training hours and a minimum of three years in the field — Andy has earned every bit of the trust Maine’s real estate community places in him. He’s not new to this. He’s the standard.
What Sets Him Apart
Why Maine Agents Trust Andy
The Highest Designation in the Industry
The CMI® requires 1,000+ inspections or training hours, a minimum of three years in the field, and a background check. It’s the inspection industry’s top credential — and Andy has held it for years.
Twenty Years. Nothing Surprises Him.
Two decades of Maine inspections means Andy has seen the full range — historic homes, coastal properties, new construction, deferred maintenance, hidden moisture, and everything in between. That depth of experience is something you simply can’t replicate.
Army Discipline. Unshakeable Standards.
Military service shaped how Andy approaches every job: with preparation, precision, and accountability. He shows up on time, works methodically, and delivers reports that are thorough, readable, and on schedule.
The Inspector Clients Trust Immediately
Andy has a calm, grounded presence that puts buyers at ease — especially first-timers navigating one of the biggest decisions of their lives. Agents send him their most important clients because they know he’ll take care of them.
