Construction. Lumber. Firefighting. Hazmat. Mike Drew brings a skill set most inspectors can only dream of — and uses every bit of it on every property he walks.
Inspector Profile
Meet Mike
Mike Drew is a Certified Master Inspector with a background that most home inspectors simply don’t have. His career has included residential construction, lumber yard operations and sales, and firefighting — including hazardous materials response training. That combination of hands-on building knowledge and emergency-response discipline shapes every inspection he conducts.
Firefighters are trained to see what others overlook. They work methodically under pressure, stay focused when situations are complicated, and never cut corners because corners matter. Mike brings that same mindset to residential and commercial property inspections — a natural ability to focus on details that allows him to thoroughly vet properties while delivering a clear, fair assessment of what he finds.
Mike enjoys working with both real estate professionals and homebuyers. His experience on both the construction and emergency-response side of residential property means he understands how homes are built, how they age, and what can go wrong — and he communicates all of it in a way that’s useful, not alarming.
What Sets Him Apart
Why Clients Trust Mike
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 is the inspection industry’s top credential — and Mike has earned it.
Firefighter & Hazmat Training
Hazardous materials training means Mike is attuned to chemical, moisture, and air-quality risks in ways standard training doesn’t cover. His emergency-response background makes him a more thorough inspector on every property.
Built From the Ground Up
Years in residential construction and lumber give Mike a deep understanding of building materials, framing, and how homes are assembled — and where things go wrong when they’re not done right.
Clear. Honest. Useful.
Mike’s reports don’t bury clients in jargon. He tells you what he found, what it means, and what to do about it — exactly the kind of communication that serves both buyers and the agents who refer them.
